THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Mews from the Surrounding Territory as Given by Our Correspondents. G ROVERTOWN. Jake Sult and wife are the proud parents of a new baby boy since the 10th. An aunt of Mrs. E. E. Davis, of Can- ' ton, 0., is here visiting with her for a • week. O. U. Holderman is getting the material on the ground to build a storage house for his machinery. In a previous report we stated that O. U. Holderman had sold out and intended going to school for the purpose of studying law. This is erroneous. Mr. Holderman exchanged his interest in the groceries for Mr. Gopport’s interest in the stock of implements. Mr. Goppert now has control of the grocery and Mr. Holdeman the implement business. Mr. Holdeman is going to take a bookkeeping and commercial course at Valparaiso as soon as the election is over. Chase. I.UW - Nm Ui west. Carrington, North Dakota, < ‘ct 19, 1896, For the Independent: There are a few things that are quite interesting in Canada and along the boundary line. As I have told a few things in my former letter. 1 will now tell a few more. At North Portal there are located what are called “1 ho Barracks," where is kept a force of mounted police, whose duty it is to keep watch along the line of the United States and Canada, to catch all who do anything against or contrary to the law, such as smuggling things across the line without paying duty on them, stealing, and misdemeanors of every kind. 1 asked one of the police what all was his duty? He said it wouhi take him a half day or more to tell me, and he did not take the time, so I can not tell it here. 1 asked the custom house officer what all the people had to pay duty on, and he said everything except a little wearing apparel, and the amount varied with different kinds of articles. I asked what it was on grain, and learned that it is three cents a bushel on oats. There were several Chinese who were leaving . this country and going back to China, the officers looked over their things quite i closely, tint I could not learn what duty ; they had to pay. The people in Canada ; differ in a great many respects froyi the people of the United States but ! will not take time nor space to enumerate I any of them here. j I spoke of the sod house in my former letter. 1 visited one in Canada which : has been built nearlv three years, and I . the occupants said that water did not freez«> inside last winter when the . thermometer was 15 below zero. That . tells us that their houses are warmer , than our Indiana houses. In our roam over the prairie we had a chance to see a prairie wolf. Stopping and trying to make him our prey 1 tired two shots after him, but he just lowered both ears and tail and left that part of the neighborhood at no slow pace, We visited one farm where the thresh ing was not done yet. W c counted 30 large wheat stacks, which contained some very nice wheat. 1 suppose that if some of us from Indiana had such a ! crop we would think it a very large crop. Leaving Canada we came back to Kenmare, where we stopped a couple of days. During this time we were look ing over the country and learned a few things in which this part of the Union differs from our own state. During our stay here we had the opportunity to catch a badger, whose skin I expect to ( , take home with me. Leaving Kenmare and coming to this place and taking tin- N.

N. railroad to Cando, where we h.H 0 uc-at many , of our friends u *.■ • : • Ui •■t •. ; and three y ai> ;u >- Inr pi-< pl.- of this .'community are all wdl and enjoying J themselves very riceo ui Dem- - 1: homes in this new eomdry. The people here farm on a 1 • , ah- ' than we do in our state Tb-e o, ‘‘■’Wi t" d-' ak of ’ drive out into He e-.d ■' - c'..X >o f i 11 was quit'' •' righl to o - to «< < ton,, one to four gang l-b- '-o m -.m ID hl to which are hitched fiom font to six

horses, sometimes three abreast and? sometimes all six abreast, and they plow? four to six acres a day, so it does not" seem such a great tiling to put out a' crop of two hundred acres. In threshing their grain, they elevate the grain into a box or grain tank to| haul to market or to the granary. The ' boxes or tanks hold from 50 to 125 ' bushels, and this amount makes a good ' load for one team. They do not sack their grain here in ' this country. 1 have seen but one load ' of grain in sacks. Some may wonder ■ why. 1 will say there is too much of it. ; When one man has as much as 17,000 ' bushels of grain, it would take a great length of time to handle it in sacks. Now a few lines about the subject of j sporting. I have seen more wild geese I in this state in two weeks than’l have in I Indiana in my lifetime. They are al- i most as plenty as blackbirds in our stat.-, I but the country is so open and nothing to hide behind, it is quite difficult to get, close enough to kill them. I killed a few geese, ducks ami a jack rabbit, ! v hich looked more like a young sheep than a rabbit. If we hunters of Indiana I had some of this game with us we would j like to have a good chase after them. There are a few prairie chickens left yet, but there are nearly as many hunters as chickens. The people in this community are building some very nice buildings considering the short time they have been here. Schoolhouses are built as soon as there are children enough to require one. 1 believe when there are thirteen children they require a house. They also have built a new church in this vicinity, costing nearly 81,2(X) which they expect to dedicate on November 8. Leaving that place this morning we started for our home, which is over 1,100 miles away. As we have to stop over night in this place it gives me another chance to write. This is a very nice country to look at. but I can not tell how 1 would like it until 1 would try it here awhile. 1 believe I have written enough for the time I have been here. If any of you want to know more, call on mo when 1 get home or come and see for yourself, for “seeing is believing.” (' I lb • . ALL KINDS OF Irani REPAIRED MT THE - Walkerton Machine Shop.
