The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1910-07-08


. think for a minute that the train
|, had left the track, and looking
up beside us stood our old friend
and neighbor Dr.. Vosburg He
was out from his home and office
at kaispell on mission of
mercy. He was looking as if
fortune was dealing kindly with
him, and is thoroughly enthus-
iastic in regard to Great Falls
and it's prospects, and we enjoy
ed splendid visit with him until
he had to leave the train again.
Our next stopping place was ia
Havre, Mont, where We enjoyed
IA whole souled hospitality with
the family of Judge r. +. Ham
mOnd. The town is a Great
Northern division point, with a
junction of "a branch line. aud
within few years past has
emerged from sheepherders
station into IA promising little
city and is growing right along.
1t is situated in a country whose
development will largely depend
upon the success of dry farming.
The town itself, however, is not
dry, as it has some eighteen
irrigating points where liquid
refreshments may be obtained
by the thirsty soul any of the sew
en- days of the week. On the tace
of the returns this would appear
to be more than necessary pro
portion for town with but three
small churches. 1t gives the
devil a leverage he's not entitled
to by any fair count. But even
here the interminable conflict is
going on, and at this particular
time it $ fight for choice of posi-
tion-with a public library and
the ladies' of the city on one side,
and the city council and a newly
opened saloon on the other. The
saloon is in possession at pres
ent, but here S to more power to
the women and the residents
of Hayre who believe in decency.
/ A sixteen hours ride with our
faces to the rising sun brought
us TO Minot. n. D., where we
We're met by Ed. S. Healy, for
mer Milbankite and auditor of
the county for four years, who
moved to North Dakota some
seven years ago and located at
Glenburn. An hour auto drive
in Mr.. Healy's fine car, and over
the smooth prairie roads brought
US to the Healy home. where we
spent several days in pleasant
companionship with this family,
, renewing former friendships and
reviewing the old times in Mil
, bank history. Ed. had some
new stories to tell, which he had
been saving up for the occasion,
and not to be OutdOne we polish
ed up some: of the old veterans
that had done valiant service on
so many previous occasions, and
fired them off with as much gus
, to as if they had been brand new
from the shop with the price
mark still upon them. Mr.. Hea
ly 5 old friends will all be pleased
to know that he has prospered in
his new home in material way,
and what is just as important,
, has the confidence and esteem of
. the community in which he re-
sides. He is at present mayor
of the town The young friends
of Miss Annis will also be inter
ested to know that she has devel-
oped more than ordinary talent
as pianist, and her services are
always in demand on musical
occasions
! While ia Glenburn we had the
pleasure OF a number Of auto.
mobile rides in the country and
to some Of the ad jacent towns.
1t was on one Of these trips
. that we were entertained at the
, home Of Mr.. aud Mrs, VIM.
