during the earlier part of the winter for
some reason or other. Whether or not
they consider they have accomplish
ed the great end for which they Or
ganized we have not learned. Their
motto should be not to weary in we'll
doing.
Mr.. Brotherson is another Of our
neighbors who at present is away in
the Minnesota woods, where he has had
teams at work all through the winter in
clamps, engaged in getting out ties for
the Great Northern railroad. Last re-
ports received were to the effect that
they had put in good profitable season
in the woods.
One of the residents of this locality
has lately entered into new departure
along the line of farming and will add
thoroughbred hogs to his already widely |
diversified plans of stock raising. Ed. is
one of the Daniels hustlers and will find |
much more profit in feeding grain to his
live stock rather than using his teams to
haul it to market. We have one of the
finest section of land in the county toin-
duce farmers to engage extensively in
raising live stock and they don't ap-
pear to be slow in taking advantage of
the fact.
Grey township people, one and all are
&l,o,o,rI,1v +;,od aud 1icnuc%od w,;tl, tho |
ceaseless blustry and cold weather ex-
perience ever since winter set in and |
many have been heard to express desire
to go away to some warmer climate,
where the warm sun shines and green
leaves on the trees can be enjoyed the
year round. Then there are many who |
are complaining, not without reason,
however that here in North Dakota fuel
is such an expensive iteza. North Da-
kota is all right for them all in the sum-
mer time and we very much doubt if
they would not soon wish themselves
back again if they did try some of the
other parts of this vast continent.
Since some from this locality have re-
turned from spending the winter in the
lumber woods of Minnesota the story
has been going the rounds of how one
of our boys had a hair breadth escape
from foxes and wolves. When they
came up to hirn he was on horse back,
but in the ride for dear life which follow
ed he lost his balance and fell off, the
horse leaving him to face the situation
alone. He explains his escape by say
ing that he climbed tree, remaining
there in the storm and cold for several
hours, men coming from the camp to
rescue him on finding that the horse
came in riderless. His experience was
both thrilling and freezing one as he
was almost persisted with cold when
found by those who started outi search
of him.
From Another Correspondent
Weather has been fine during the past
week and the farmer who had not got
all his hauling done is looking pleased.
Another item of Importance this week
is that Matt Snider now has another boy
who will be able to help him on the farm
after /. while.
Peter Snider is getting things fixed up
to start farming on his own hook this
spring. Our advise to Pete is that he
take in partner on the start.
Mrs. W. Moore and her brother in law
were down to Langdon last week to
spend few days with friends and visit
a brother of Mrs. Moore's who is engaged
in the breaking and training horses.
The committee of helpers who have
visited so many of the homes in Daniels
and vicinity during the winter, made
call at the home of J. w. David during
the past week. The party enjoyed them
selves thoroughly in cleaning up things
until the place was made to look almost
summer like.
Miss Jennie Sillers is home from
visit with friends in the Valley. where
she has been staying the greater part of
the winter. Miss Sillers is now begin
ming to make preparations to remove
across the line to Manitoba with the
Sillers family. They will all be very
much missed by the people of Daniels,
who have enjoyed their acquaintance as
neighbors since the first settlement of
this part of the county.
He had wintered in Alaska
Had been ice bound at the Pole
And cold wave from Nebraska
Once had chilled his Utmost soul
But he called the girls to save him
From the frozen depths of woe
When a Daniels maiden gave him
Just look and plucked a rose.
