was a resident of Walsh county, and
once lived on the Honey farm adjoin-

a marine engine installed, l.. z. Cart
wright intends to leave Fairview, N.

the entire trip by boat. He will go
down the Yellowstone river into the
Missouri, thence to the Mississippi to
the gulf and around the gulf to the
Florida west coast. He will be &C
companied by members of his family.

the larger river he will make the trip
more leisurely. On the way he will
hunt and fish and stop at towns
wherever the inclination z9izes him.
