The ambition of members of Carbon
Post No. II of the American Legion,

GUS avenues Of the capitol city, with
Sam Taggart of Red Lodge, Civil

a trying one for the Red Lodge Drum
and Bugle corps as the program in
cluded the serenading of the Governor
of Montana at the capitol building,
the Montana firemen, who were. also
in convention assembled, and the
Heler7s newspapers. The afternoon

Of which have been received here.
The magazine relates how the first
passenger train to enter Devils Lake
arrived on July 4, 1883, bearing q
group of railway conductors from
Crookston. Mimi. where they had
just orA .nized a lodge of the order
OF railway conductors.
The visitors were taken by steam
boat from Devils Lake to Fort Tot
ten but when the time came to re-
turn a high wind whipped the lake
to such q fury that Captain f. E.
Herman Of the Minnie H. was UNI
willing to take the risk and the party
remained at Fort Totten until the
next day.
The lake has slowly dwindled in
size until today a state road runs
across an inlet over which staunch
steamers used to ply. Captain Her.
