north shore of the lake.
All l can call to mind of the
town Of Swan Lake at that time
was T. j. Hills store and dwell
ling. which was afterwards the
Swan Lake Hotel, Aurner's sod
house and two or three other
buildings. Aurner was hauling
lumber for his large new house
on the west side which still
stands in the same spot. On our
return this building was enclosed
and looked mighty big.
| visited Swan Lake several
times during the next few years,
traded a little with Gus Gilbert
and his clerk, Ole Stuhaug, saw

Gil cult court and the political
conventions which always bror
large crowds and more or less
excitement.
