child born out in that country. He
used to spend his winters out there
and we played a game of baseball
between Marshalltown and Des
Moines for the championship of the
state and | won the game. | played
center and left and we beat them
fifteen to seven and | made seven
out of the fifteen runs, so when Cap
came back they were telling him about
me, and he had sister named An
nette, and she kept nagging and she
said:
Borrows Money
To Get To Chicago.
| "Now you take Bill to Chicago and
he'll make good" Finally he con-
sented, and | had to borrow money
to get to Chicago, and l landed there
thirty years ago with just a bone in
my pocket.
So finally he said he would give
me chance, so | went and played

i | hadn't seed Ed for years and
years and one day l said to Mrs
Sunday, Lets go up to North Da-
kota and see Ed"
So we went He lived up north of
jamestown and he met us there and
we got on the railroad that runs
from jamestown off UP to Devils
Lake. We were riding along the
road and | noticed that there were
cleats painted black nailed on the
telegraph poles at various heights
from the ground, l said.
ED, what's that for?'
He said, That's to enable the Of
ficials, in riding along on their spe-
cial train, to see when and where
and how deep the snow drifted, for
those cleats painted black represent
| the height of the snowdrifts.'
| l said, There are telegraph poles
without any cleats painted on them
at ALL" and he said, Eyes, the snow
drifted over the top of them

i feet from the ground as he drove ovel
1 the snow drift.
A fellow took me out to his barn

2 that barn, drifted and swirled until il
| buried it. He started back there {
: quarter of a mile and climbed tina

4 sawed hole through the roof to ge
: into the barn to feed his horses.
The Northern Pacific runs one o.
the finest trains in the country. It's
like the Century on the New Yorl

of the Pennsy, out in Indiana. They
| will stop any train they've got bu
