POPULAR COUPLE
DIR. and rlrs. T. w. cOllinson Re.
turned Saturday From their
Wedding Trip on the
Coast

Collinson, arrived home Saturday morning
from their wedding trip. Their home
coming was unannounced as was their de-
par,urs, so that no demonstration was
made al the train upon their arrival and
only the near relatives Of the bride met
them at the train. However after their
arrival became known the Doctor and his
bride spent most of the day receiving greet
ing and congratulation from their many
friends in Culbertson.
Along about o'clock p. m. the sweet
strains Of small brass band smote the air
and wedding marches. national airs and
other classical music was played beneath
the balcony Of the Evans Hotel, where DIR.
and Mrs. Collinson. had taken temporary
quarters. The serenaders were treated
very nicely by Dr. Collinson and were
profuse in their protestations that Hes
all right" This serenade was so far ahead
Of the usual charivari party that every one
in town rejoiced that the bows who com
posed the band have tumbled to the TACT
that quiet. gentlemanly demonstration at
such time answers the purpose and pro-
duces better results than the old fashioned
crude methods of the charivari. All the
men in town, who use the weed. had been
smoking good cigars all day on the doctor
and did not have the nerve to make any
demonstration at all at nightfall. SO the
evening passed in comparative peace and
quiet.
The itinerary of the wedding trip was
from Culbertson to Havre on Tuesday
morning. May goth, near which place DIR.

H DIR. ColIinsons report of the tirst part OF
the trip, until he and his bride reached
Portland on the return trip. is very meagre
and lacking in detail but Portland he de.
scribss as a very beautiful place and the
4 flower carnival as something to be long
remembered bu, impossible to adequately
describe in a newspaper article. He re-
ports that street cars. automobiles. car
rages and all kinds Of vehicles we're most
profusely decorated with beautiful cut How
ers and that the spectators fairly walked
on American Beauty roses that would cost
about FIVE dollars a dozen in Culbertson.
The couple appeared to have enjoyed
themselves very much in Portland. even it
the trip to this point had been rather dull
and uninterestingl
The return trip to Spokane was made
along the Columbia river route and the
scenery here was grand and majestic.
From there they came home by way OF
Butte over the Oregon Short Line and ar
rived there in time to spend Miner Day in
that historic mining city. The next stop
was made at Great Falls and again they
