from New Haven Conn. and went as far
as Boston on the train. Then we took
boat and sailed for quite a long time, and
after that we took another boat and sailed
up the St Lawrence river until we came
to Quebec
When we got there we went to the Cha
teau Frontenac hotel. 1t was a very beau
tiful place, up the hill, so you could look
down on the city and up and down the 81.
Lawrence river. 1t had summer houses
and flower beds all over, and there was
great board walk at one side OF 1t where
people could walk for exercise. It was
quarter of a mile long and from fifty to
sew enty feet wide. 1t is not called walk.
! Just said that so you would know 1t was
made of boards. 1t is really called
promenade
The streets there were very narrow and
a great many Of the people talked French.
We next went TO Montreal That is
beautiful. We went TO the Place Niger
hotel and right in front of it was lawn
and a large fountain. We went to see
the great church; it is called De lEglaisc
Metre Dame. Then We went to spend
the rest OF the summer on a farm in Nova
Scotia. Canada. 1t was very nice there
They had great. big. white Strawberries
and once l stepped right in the middle OF
a hornets nest while / was picking some
] found two or three fresh water pearls
about as big as the head Of a blackheaded
pin. ] had a lovely time going on hay rides
with the other children.
And then we had to go home again and
had TO go back to school. But ii was
very pleasant summer.

OR7hBRANCH LAbORER
browns IN MISSOURI

MANDAN, N. D., Dec. 23.-Word
reached the city this morning OF the
drowning of a laborer named Duffy
in the Missouri river near the Tim.
norman ranch, where the crew is
now working cutting brush for the
protection of the grade on the new
north branch of the Northern Paci-
fic running to Stanton. The story of
the accident as near as can be
learned now is that Duffy took an
axe and a pail and went to the river
to get. some water. He started to
cut hole in the ice when he saw an
open space nearby and went there
and the supposition is that he slipped
and fell into the water. Tracks lead
ing to the hole were found and the
axe and pail which Duffy carried
with him when he left the camp were
near BY. The current is so swift at
this point that there is no probability
of the body ever being found. Later
in the evening another man went to
find Duffy and he too came near los
ing his life. 1t appears that he went
to the same hole that engulfed Duffy
and in looking over the edge fell in
and it was only after the most des-
perate effort that he crawled to the
top of the ice again. When he re-
turned to the camp he was exhausted
and up to a late hour this morning
had not recovered sufficiently to go
to work again. All that is known
about Duffy, the missing man, is that
he signed for the work in St. Paul
and that he was from the eastern
part of the United States.

LEAGUE A SUCCESS

Those who were in attendance at
the Land Show in St. Paul are en-
thusiastic in their praises Of the
show and of the splendid work being
done to advertise this western coun.
try's resources, from all who had any
thing to do with the work, and those
who had anything to do with the In
dustrial show held in Bismarck Sept
ember and October, feel that the ef-
forts thought not as we'll directed as
practice would make them, were un-
qualifedly a success.
In speaking of the work nearly all
are enthusiastic in their praises Of
the men who began and carried
through the difficult work. And yes
terday when in conversation with Mr..
c. l.. Zimmerman he spoke as follows
on the work of the Slope Develop
ment League.
He said: "The Slope Development
League made very good showing at
tn Exhibition or Land Show in St.
Paul, and it's efforts will be used to
promote in this section the dairy, coal
and clay industries. They are of the
best and are located right here in
this section.
AT the show we had on exhibition
large piece of coal, its dimensions
were 4x4x6 feet and weighed several
thousand pounds. This lump Of coal
was placed on the side walk beside
the door to the exposition building
and was properly placarded From
Missouri Slope" And using your
Imagination you can at once see what
difficulty was experienced in securing
this piece of coal from the Wilton
Coal mine. The freight alone was
$27 in taking it to the exposition, and
being fragile as 1t were, it required
very careful handing to get it to
place.
"While there, l noted manys people
coming into the exhibition asking for
information about the Slope country
and also for additional information re-
garding the exhibits We had there.
"The potatoes and cabbage, as
we'll as corn have been solicited by
the Northern Pacific for their exhi-
billions. Thus showing the extra
quality and fine condition of the
Slope exhibit
"The vegetables and roots We're as
