getting into the diversified farming

in Tacoma and came to the sound few
weeks ago, accompanied by her par
ents, to be married at the home of her
grandmother, with whom she lived from
babyhood. Mr.. Meyer arrives from Bis

Complimented.
1t is very noticeable and citizens
have remarked that for the first time
during the past year the crossings in
Devils Lake have all been cleaned off
after rain storm. The heavy rain
storms have always made Devils Lake
street crossings almost impossible and
many would not be cleaned off for
weeks, but it is very noticeable that
within the past week the crossings have
all been cleaned in excellent shape.
Residents around Moore avenue and
Eighth street are particularly grateful
for the manner in which the crossings
have been cleared of mud, a feature of
metropolitanism that has not been en-
joyed for some time.
