Still Threshing in Some Parts of North Dakota.

Jacob Clouse of Remington, who has been in North Dakota, about Larimore, since last March, returned home Thursday. When he left Larimore Tuesday evening snow was falling and it was quite blustery. In some sections the railroads were blocked by snowdrifts. The train he came out on was packed with hardest hands leaving the state, and Jake had to stand up all the way to Grand Forks, the seats being all taken and the baggage car and aisles filled.

At Lacota there were 300 men waiting to take the train, but only about half of them were able to get on board, and the trainmen were compelled to close the doors and pull out leaving half of the would-be passengers on the depot platform. Up in the Devil’s Dake section there is considerable threshing yet to be done, v but about Larimore it is all finished, or nearly so. The snow has driven so many of the transient hands out that Jake thinks they will not be able to get all the threshing done this fall.
