passing through and enjoy the pleasures of sight seeing
for in this way many comparisons made either to
certain parts Of the different roads previously travelled,

the extreme rendness encountered while in the Bridge
City, by it's royal good citizens and also that he had had

to see he was made welcome and that he had visited
of the business places and that he had marveed
when told that the city but eight years of age.
He commented upon the three school buildings the
latest and best of the three having been completed last
winter at cost of nearly $50 100 and told it had
been named the Pride Of Mobridge. Then the
