H. H. French, supervisor of the Holy
Gross National forest, was greatly sur
prised by an unannounced visit from
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred C. French of Troy,
Montana. The two men are cousins,
but it was 20. years ago that they last
met and It is therefore little wonder
that Harry did not recognize his cousin
when he called. The visitors were de-
lighted with Glenwood and would have
remained longer than the two days
spent here, but Mr.. French is connected
with the Great Northern railway in
responsible position and he felt almost
obliged to get back to his work by the
first of the year.
