The rapidity with which the face of
nature changes at this season of the year
and which we view as a matter of course
is nevertheless wonder. A week ago
nature in this locality was "a nut-brown
maid" with several other similar shades
mixed in; to-day the fields are green with
growing grass and the trees are bursting
their Thousand leaves" From winters
SHOWS to summers heat has been a short
cut this season.

Mr.. ]. R. Carey of this city was called
to Northcote last Wednesday week, to
attend the funeral of his nephew, the lit

wife. The baby was at the home of an
other sister, Mrs. Gray. Mrs. Florance

under public charge he found to be for
eigners, and not entitled to public aid,
but manyIof them have been here so long
they cannot be returned. In poor
house in South Dakota he found Swede
that came to this country in the Great
Eastern, and had never taken out his CT
tizen papers. The government has a
big problem on its hands dealing with

owners, which were to keep back the
water from the overflow of the Pembina
river in the ditch leading to the Geroux
slough, has been washed out at one side
and the water has been pouring in on the
land from the river for a week. The
wagon bridge near it has also become
impossible and in order to get to town
people from that direction have to 20
several miles to the north and around.
The amount OF land TINS OVERLOOKED is
abont twelve sections in extent, much of
which is plewed and ready for crop. This,
is the second dose Of back water that
these owners have had and most of them
are wishing thatlthe ditch bad never been
