NEWPORT, WASH, Jan. Is, 1905
We left Scotland on the 7th
inst. for Minneapolis by way of
Aberdeen, arrived in the former
city the next morning and were
met by our esteemed friend, Frank
B. Morgan, who took us to his hos
pitable home in the city where we
were Entertained d until the following
Tuesday. We found the Morgana
very pleasantly situated, prosper
GUS and contented. Time has dealt
kindly with them and we heartily
enjoyed our brief visit in ga feast
Of reason and flow of soul, SO
characteristic of their old home at
Scotland in which so many af-
fectionately remember their expert
ence, and sadly regret that it can
not be repeated. Their son George
has grown up a manly, intelligent
young man. He will graduate from
the University of Minnesota this
year and fnish'at Harvard there
after.
At the Morgans we met Mr.. and
Mrs. R. J. Taylor who are now liv-
ing in Minneapolis, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Clemens. Mr.. Taylor and
Mr.. Clemens will be remembered
as our former genial and efficient
railroad agents at Scotland. Frank
Clemens is freight agent at st. Paul
for the Milwaukee road; has been
qeite successful in his business, as

all these qualities into his church

Scotland, is a bright young man
now pursuing bis studies at Har,

forenoon following our arrival in
| that city, by way of the Northern
Pacific on our way towards the
setting sun, and our journey to
that point, at Moorehead City,
gave us an opportunity to bring
our imaginationa into play by way
of comparison of the country pass

State in which the latter did not
suffer.

separated ranches, and bunches o
