LETTER FROM RAYMOND w.
HAINES

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Raymond W. Haines, Abb
erdeen, S. D.:
To the Editor of the Democratic Ad-
Yocate.
Dear Sir: AS l am citizen of Car
roll county, q resident of near Wood
bine, and as l am touring from there
to Spokane, Wash, and down the
coast to Southern California, through
the Yellowstone Park and the Yeso-
mite Park and many other scenic
places on the way, | thought that you
would like to have some interesting
articles and things that tourist runs
into, to publish in your paper. If you
find ANYTHING of interest and benefit
to other people that will start from
there to tour the West, l wish you
would publish it. l followed the Ma
tional Old Trail to Washington, Penn
sylvania. and then to the Lincoln
Highway, to Boone, Ia, stopping in
Ohio and Illinois and Iowa, visiting
some relatives. Left the Lincoln High
way and went north to Olivia, Mimi,
and took the Yellowstone Trail to Alb
erdeen, South Dakota, and will follow
it to the Yellowstone Park to Spokane,
Wash. The roads are in very good
shape, only at places it is sand and
very rough. Have struck into sand in
Eastern Iowa, across a river valley
about three to four feet deep. Tour
lists were held up in line awaiting to
push each other out. | am touring on
motorcycle without a sidecar and
have quite a bit of pleasure and ex-
citement. There is free camping
grounds all the way out and good ac-
commodations at all camping grounds,
such as water and wood. The water
in this State is very poor, mostly ala
kali The fields of grain out here con-
tain from 800 to $40 acres and up,
and is "A very pretty view to look
across the country. There is also some
ranching carried on, to a small ex-
tent in the eastern part of the State.
This city of Aberdeen has a popula-
tion of $4,000 1t is a very clean town
and is built like all the Western
towns, with wide streets. All the
business is carried on, on the main
street. with residents in the rear.
There is great pleasure in touring
il you have companion, but as | am
alone l get very lonesome at times,
but I am getting use to it. | meet
quite a few tourists on the way, so we
exchange notes with each other and
get information.
Gasoline is 80 cents per gallon
through here. When 1 get into Mon
tana it will be as high as As cents per
gallon Have come through 10 differ
ent States this far. Have been on the
way since April "a, and have travelled
eleven days and drove, about 2500
miles. am a little over 700 miles
from the Park now -

EIGHT CHILDREN BLOWN TO BITS
WHEN SHELL EXPLODES ON
PORCH

Watertown, N. Y, July 12.-Eight
children, ranging in age from 16 to IL
years, were blown to pieces late to-
day by the explosion of 75-millime-
tre shell on the back porch of house
in Dimmick street, occupied by Ed
ward G. Workman and William L. Sal
isbury.
The dead are: Morris Salisbury, 16;
Frances Wiley, 13; Vivian Jones, 12;
Olin Brown, H. Anson Workman, 13;
Edna Workman, IA; Sarah Barden, 13,
and Donald Horton, IL, of Pulaski, n.
Y. who was visiting the Brown boy.
The shell. which was owned by Mr..
Workman, was one which he had kept
as souvenir and used on the rear
porch to hold the door from closing. 1t
was believed to be dead"
The children were playing croquet
in the back yard. The shell is believed
to have either been set off by the hot
sun or to have been struck by one of
the victims with a croquet mallet.
Windows within a radius of two blocks
OF the explosion were shattered.
