come out. l had said nothing about
a book to Tie edit / but literary
material evidently meant a book to
the people of Grand Forks.
When l left Grand Forks the snow
was nearly all gone and slipped and
suffered along ribbons of mud loc-
ally known as highways. l called
them mud ways since they seemed
constructed entirely of wet gumbo
which looked to me as though there
was but slight hope of its ever dry
ing. The Meridian Midway brought
me to Cummings and then Parks
MIDWAY led away to Mayville. From
Mayvllle to Buffalo there was no par
tlcular road of any kind, and less
mud. From Buffalo to Cakes there
was the Glacier Trail, and no mud.
Mayvllle was one of the towns
which treated me particularly we'll.
For one thing, was invited to visit
the Teachers College, and met the
prettiest girls in North Dakota. l
fell in love with absolutely every one
of them.
Both Valley City and Cakes are
nice towns, Valley City having the
lovlier setting. 1t is built down IN
the Sheyenne valley, with hills all
around so that one cannot see the
town until one is almost in it. Here,

and also the park, which is a good
orc for town of only four or five
thousand inhabitants. At this mo-
ment ] am unable to say definitely
whether the dears at the Teachers

prettier.
