Donald Mcleod was the first one Ia
test the thickness Of the ice on the Red
River this season. He found thin
place all right and decided that the
wafer below the ice was too cold fol
swimming and pulled himself out There
is always some boy that IS ready to make
the experiment and Donald was the first
this year. and now that it has been tried
we hope the rest Of the boys will BE sat.
isfed that it has been properly done fol
this season and let it 60 at that.
The supper and entertainment of the
Ladies Aid ofM. Z. church occurred on a
very cold and uncomfortable night but
nevertheless PANIED out very we'll under
the circumstances. The supper was as
usual of the very best and was largely
patronized. The entertainment at Fra
ternity Hall was listened to by an
audience that more than filled the hall
and the program OF music, recita,ions and
speeches was greatly enjoyed. Notwith-
the cold weather there were
quite number from toilette and large
load from Emerson in attendance.
w. NJ. York reminesces in the Indep-
endent and says that al Emerson the day
before Christmas of 1879, that the Their
momeier registered 81 below. The gov.
eminent signal service officer then stat
toned at Pembina gave it as 59H below
which was then and still is the lowest rec
of the United States outside OF Alaska.
The winter previous, 1877-1778, was the
most open winter ON record. No snow
to remain and the Red River open for
most OF the season. That cold day OF
1879 was very pleasant day too. The
last two winters have been remarkably
mild Tor this country. Wonder if the BAL
ance OF cold will be charged up to us the
coming season.
1t was Hallock VS.. Pembina on Satur-
day and the Hallock boys had to take
the small end OF the score. The sides
however were very evenly matched and
and the game we'll fought on both sides.
Pembina excelled from experience more
than in any other way. From the appear
ance on the field it looked as if Hallock
was rather the heavier of the two. Quite
a delegation came along from Hallock
to cheer their boys and they also had
considerable support from residents Of
st. Vincent, but there was not much IN
portunity for roofing on their side OF the
river though the Hallock boys made
several brilliant plays. Score
The teachers report very pleasant
meeting at Hamilton last Friday and
The exercises were of mnch
interest and profit and the address Of
President Carhart of the Valley City Nor
NAL is very highly spoken of. Friday
night the citizens of Hamilton united in
a public reception to the teachers, which.
included fine program of music and
recitations from local talent and ended
with an elegant banquet. The people Of
the town opened their houses for the ac-
of the visitors as dodgers
and the Ladies' Aid Of the M. E. church
served excellent meals at low rate.
