April 18th, l9O7.-Lots of snow, no
wood or coal for sale in town, E. X. Cavi-
leer took fine skate on the surface of
the newly frozen ice on the Pembina
this morning. Now that's record for
you when you get to be an old timer
like some of us, who can't remember the
like since ever so long ago.
The village council has raised the tax

matter to cause i'll feeling. -Hallock

The A. o. U. w. and D. of H. lodges
OF which the late John Eymundson was
member have settled in full with the

have been paid over some time ago,
only that it took twenty days for the
guardian to be appointed and to quail
fly.
