North Dakota is plentifully supplied with
winter, which begins shortly after Sep
TENDER, and lasts until even the coal
dealers are tired of it. The thermO-
meter often drops to 50 degrees below in
the state, but nobody minds it because
it usually drops TO this mark from 40
degrees below. The snowfall is very
liberal especially on the railroad tracks,
and all summer long officials keep dis
covering trains which were mislaid dur
ing January.
North Dakota afternoons last until 10
o'clock in the summer and the people
spend them reading progressive Htera-
ture. The state Is so progressive that It
regards Roosevelt as a conservative. It
is growing rapidly and as soon as its
great fields of Ignite and gas have been
opened up viii not have to depend on the
aurora borealis for heat during the an
nual coal shortage.
