THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER
HONOR CLAIMED BY WELSH
try Were the First White
People in America.

In an amazingly interesting old
book, published by the author, John
Williams, Vale street, Denbigh, Wales,
in 1856, entitled ancient and Modern
Denbigh," there appears the following
rare bit of information:
'In A. D. 1859, Madogap Owen
Gwynedd, and his followers, are said
to have left the Vale of Clwyd Tin
North Wales), and to have reached
America 300 years before Columbus
discovered that vast continent Re-
turning, next year, they took many
more with them, and are said to have
founded a tribe Of Welsh American In
dians."
England had been conquered BY the
Normans In the previous century, and
the sons of the great barons William
the Conqueror had brought with him
from France were taking possession
by force Of the conquered kingdom, as
they could. They We're not always
successful in their little individual
wars and a good many Saxon earls
and squires held their own against
them. Especially did the Normans
have a bad time trying to GUST the
ancient Britons from their property in
Wales. 1t was not until 1888 that Da-
vid, last king of the old British empire,
was defeated, and King Arthur's royal
crown was taken by the Norman-Eng-
fish. as was the Welsh relic "croes-
enydd" made of the true cross and in
closed in gold and silver, embossed
with jewels by st. Helena, the British
princess through whom it may he said
that the Norman English became
Christian.
The author fails to quote the docu-
mentary evidence Of the discovery Of
America by the Welsh.

HILLS NODDED BY GLACIERS
Peculiar Formation Of "Drumlins"
Makes Them Appear as Though
Inteiligently Designed.

Between Syracuse and Rochester, n.
Y, lies country Of hills, known as
drumlins, which is one of the most
beautiful bits of scenery in the eastern
United States. The term drumlin is
an Irish one, and is applied TO low,
rolling hills Of glacial origin which ex-
list in that country, and also in parts
Of New York and New England. This
section between Syracuse and Roches-
ter is the very heart of the American
drumlins.
Most American mountains and hills
were formed by violent disturbances
Of the earth's surface, and their rude
origin is reflected in their ruggedness.
But the drumlins were built by the
great ice sheet which once covered all
of North America. The materials Of
which they are made were pushed to-
gether slowly by the crawling glaciers,
nodded and tamped and smoothed by
the great ice fingers as a child makes
mud pies.
The drumlins look as though they
had been designed by some great INTEL
ligence with a sense of beauty, for
they rise in smooth, gentle curves.
They are remarkably uniform in
height, usually little less than 200
feet, and so smooth and lenient are
their slopes that many of them are cul-
tivated to their submits. Some Of
them are as round as half an apple,
and others are long welts or rolls.
Scattered among the hills are a
number of small lakes and ponds, clear
and pretty. and there is good fishing
in many Of them. The drumlins are q
favorite playground Of the people in
Syracuse, Rochester and other nearby
towns, but they are little known be-
You'd the counties in which they lie.

Learned Something Elsewhere.

happened to be visiting down in
Sibley county, southern Minnesota.
this winter and while there the gen.
eral talk was for bonding that county
under the County Bonding law pass
ed at the last session of the legisla-
ture. The good roads boosters in
that county proposed bonding for
S3O0,OOO-over a quarter of mill
lion dollars-for good highways. The
farmers were thinking about it seri-
osuly. and every farmer happen to
talk with regarding the bonding was
against it. Why? Because the farm
ers felt the same as we did in Hoist
township. when we were told in
very nice way that the money we
raised would be used on main road,
or nearly all of it would. The Slb-
ley county farmers knew that the
100000 would be used on the high
way and that all effort and enthus-
iasm by the boosters would be con-
centrated on the particular highway,
and as a consequence, little, if any
attention would be given the most
needed roads from the farm gate to
highway. According to the beauti-
full pen pictures of the slick high
way, if the proposed Babcock bill
passes at this coming election, drawn
by boosters of the project who can't
see themselves as others see them,
probably the farmers could raise ad-
ditional funds and build barns or re-
lay station along the proposed high
way SO that after the farmer gets
his load hauled onto the highway by
the aid of four horses from his farm
gate, He can unhitch one team and
put them in the highway barn, put
rollers, or ice skates on the team
hitched to the load, when on the
highway, and roll into town. But
then, we might as we'll buy airplanes
freighters, as far as the cost goes,
and sail to market. 1t would be just
as reasonable.
Solid Vote Against.
After returning from my visit in
Sibley county, learned thru news
paper reporters that the county bond
ing was defeated by two to one
vote The farmers voting solidly
against the town people.
The farmers in Hoist township
turned down the road issues for the
same reason the Sibley county farm
ers turned down the county road
bond proposition. The money we
were expected to raise or at least
the greater part of it was to be used
for certain road or highway. We
were told in a nice manner The
talk at the Hoist meeting was fav-
oraibly against the majority of the
voters-the grist of which was that
all of us farmers should not expect
to have good roads up to our farm
gates.
No Outlet. No Bonds.
Very we'll. If we can not bond our
township to build good roads for
Transportation from out farm gates
to the highway and to market, then
we certainly do not want to burden
ourselves, our children, and their
grand children with taxes incurred
for building boulevards for tourists.
Taxes are high enough right now.
We farmers know there is plenty

done so in mastery and gentle

exactly, of all concerned.
And this is the viewpoint of the

Sir:-The Clearbrook correspond

the people of Hoist township in the
matter of bonding the township in

that he hopes the 200 citizens of
Hoist will reconsider the issue when
thew set their heads together and get
down to "brass tacks.'
In another issue of the Pioneer the
Clearbrook correspondent dwells at
length, in nicely colored words and
complimentary remarks to the farm
ers, on the greatness and value of
the socalled proposed Babcock $780,

cording to figures recently brought
out by some interested and unpred-

Mrs. Ray B. Skinner.

Mrs. Edith Bartlett, wife of Ray B.
Skinner quietly passed to her heaven
~ rest Saturday, June 26, at her
home, Is Park Place, South Attleboro,
Mass, after several months of i'll
ness.
Mrs. Skinner was born in Island
Pond, March 5, 1882, and was the
daughter of Deacon Alvin and Sarah
Buchanan Bartlett. She was the
youngest of five children and the
last to die; her brother, Elvin Bart
lett, died Sept. 26, 1919, and her sis
ter, Mrs. Jane B. Edmonds, died De-
cember 10 of the same year, thus
making the last three members of
space of nine short months.
Mrs. Skinner was married to Ray
B. Skinner of Orleans, January 5.

mourn her all too early death.
Mrs. Skinner was a student at
Wheaton Seminary, Norton, Mass,
and at the Boston Conservatory of
Music. For many years she was the
very efficient organist of the Congre-
gational church of Island Pond, of
which church she remained a member
lintil her death. She gave of her
time and strength without stint, not
only to the musical department of the
church but to the Sunday school and
other church organizations. In this
Mrs. Skinner nobly kept up the record
of her family, who were all earnest
church workers.
Mrs. Skinner was devoted wife
and mother and. the bereaved family
have the sincere sympathy of all their
friends. May they be comforted in
the thought that their loss is her eter-
nal gain.
