Wr. Hudson is Home

M. s. Hudson and his new boat, the Iris, reached port yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. They were about four. teen days coming from Seattle, but the actual running time was only about nine days. The rest of the time was spent visiting San Juan islands and making repairs to the boat at Prince Rupert Passing through Milbank sound a severe storm was encountered. Just when the danger was safely pass ed, the rudder broke and the nearest port, Prince Rupert, was reached, using a plank fora udder
 Mrs. Bernard Hudson concluded at this point that she had experienced plenty of gas boating and disembark ed at Rupert, taking passage on the Seattle, which reached Douglas Mon- day. After @ serious session with the custom authorities at Rupert, who manifested a strong desire to take Dave Kreb5l, alias "Dago Kid" as a prisoner of war, the Iris sailed for Ketchikan. Here the American GUS. toms officer was as relentless as the Canadians had been, but finally de- cided that DO offence was meant and allowed the ship to proceed.
 The Iris is a fine little boat, schooner rigged, of 9 tons net burden, equipped with a 20 h. p. engine, and capable of 8 speed of 10 miles an hour.
 Mir. Hudson reports that his trip north was pleasant, excepting one occasion when he fell overheard and was nearly sucked down by a whirl- pool, and the breaking of the rudder. He says that in making the trip from Seattle to Douglas in a small craft, tbere are mauy things to be learned,

in commenting ON the beauty Of
the day.
Mr.. Plumley said that all trains
were delayed and that in many
places they were blockaded, fact
made evident by his statement
that it took three days to get from
the twin cities to Fargo. Today
the weather is of the most ideal
spring variety. Robins are hop

and farmers throughout the val

It was on April IL, 1881 that
Mr.. Plumley stepped off Of the

TYPE OF stLos IN
NORTH cAkorA

The silo is coming into its own
in North Dakota and the result is
that attention is being given to
the kinds Of silo that may we'll be
built here. The Pit Silo is one of
the less expensive type, and it has
the advantage of being free from
danger Of high winds. Investiga-
ton and experimentation upon
Pit Silo Construction at the Inter-
national Harvester Company's
Demonstration Farm at Grand
Forks, shows that the Pit Silo
may be built and used with salts
factory results in many parts Of
this state. Those sections having
a comparatively low water-table
that is 80 feet or more are suited
to this type Of construction.
Many reports are received from
the dry farming areas south of US
OF the wonderful successes of this
form Of silo. While a very few un-
;dergr0und silos have been filled
and used in our state, we are firm
~ convinced of its pfact icability.
1t is considered, the cheapest form
OF silO to build, and further it
seems to be the most durable and
satisfactory where conditions are
suitable for its construction.
