poor in everything but luck, pluck and
faith in their future. Their worldly
possessions consisted of just enough
to pay their passage to San Francisco
thence to Juneau, and On to Forty
Mile Camp, and provide themselve,
with the necessary stores for a year..
On the 18th they were married a

They went to San Francisco, wher.
they met the remainder of their part,

party was a tall young fellow named
Dick Ronald, from Seattle, who from
his height O acquired the soubri

a dozen other men, some young and
some middle-aged, but Ethel was the

They engaged some Indians as
guides and an Esquimaux with the
euphonious name of Umstich, which
Long Dick translated for convenience
into "Hemstitch."
umstitch was engaged as a sort OF
general superintendent of the dogs and
sleds, OF which they had several to
convey themselves and packs across
the bleak, white deserts, the dog being
the only animal capable of making
those journeys in all weather.
The accommodations for the young
bride were poor, but Clarence did the
very best he could for her. They car.

the latter was pitched in some spot
where the snow was hard. Beds oil

The 17-year locusts are beginning
to show what real damage they can
do. When they first appeared in num-
bers In parts of Maryland a few weeks
ago the farmers charged them with
but very little damage; now the resi-
dents tune has changed, and all about
you can hear them saying: THE 10.

greatest damage being done by the
locusts is to the limbs of trees. After
the locust energies from the ground
it at once makes for the body of the
tree, and sticks upon it until ready to
emerge from it's shell, which is exactly
the shape of the insect, legs and all.

Houses to rent, in Milbank,
are as scarce as "hen's teeth. :"
People moving into town find it
difficult to get a good house. And
rents are high-a good thing for
the property owner. Here is a
good chance for some one, or ev-
en- several, to make good inter-
est on the money invested. Any
where from 12 to 25 cottages to
rent at from So to $12 a month
could be leased to tenants before
they were built. At a cost of
from 5000 to $1,000 each, the in
vestment would bring handsom e

building and loan association
At any rate, the crying need is

plans for the future, but will probably
spend a part of the summer at Big
Stone lake, taking a needed rest.

many friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Bur-
gan will wish them success and be
sorry to see them leave Milbank.
