HUbHWnER IN NORTH OAKDIA Tells Os People. Slightly Injured In Auto Accident Golden Valley, North Dakota. October 25, 1914. Dear Editor and Friends. I suppose you all will be anxious to hear from me. No doubt you are under the impression that I am homesick and will soon return. ’ This I will not deny but will also say that I have over come this feeling to some extent by this time. The people out here are all Russians and Germans. Very seldom one meets an American. Most of these people are very ignorant and cannot speak English. This makes it very difficult to live in such a community. I have become acquainted with their language enough to get along with them. Although Dakota is a dry state nearly every man uses intoxicating lique rs. The country is very hilly and rough. About eighteen miles from Goldet Valley are some mountains, Tht climate is about the same as that o Indiana the at most p here being of i drier nature. Thus far we haw had no snow but the weather is rather cold at the present. Threshing is just about over. The crops barley, oats, wheat, rye and flax, all of which are sown in the spring. The farms are not fenced in only enough for pasture and then the fence consists only of three barbed wires and sticks for posts. There are no trees here hence the small posts which are gotten from the banks of the Missouri River about twelve miles from here. The roads are not kept up as our roads are. Many places the roads are merely paths across fields. - A stranger can easily get lost to which fact I cm testify, for 1 had the tnisfoctune o get lost one Sunday evening. I had been across the fields a distance of five miles and while returning I lost mv way in the hills. It grew darker and darker fiinally I co id see nothing but hills. The horse 1 was riding wanted to go one way and I the other. At last we came to a house. By using what little German I knew I found my way home. The children that come to set'. >1 are all German speaking children and most of them very ignorant. I have charge of the first five grades teaching English and Arithmetic. Tne schools are being consolidated which is very much better than the old method of going to a district school. The teachers are all secured from other stales. At present there are three from Indiana counting rayself. The laws rega; fling teaching are not nearly as strict as those of Indiana. All books are furnished by the school board and are not to be taken home but the scholars seem to pay little attention to this ruling. They are too ignorant to konw any better. Many of the parents cannot read nor write nor even talk English so a teacher can not expect too much of a child. The wild game consists of ducks, jack rabbits, prairie chickens and coyotes. When a farmer goes to town he takes his gun along. Thus far I have shot one chicken and one coyote. The game is not as wild as one would imagine. Os course the labbits do not wait for salt to be thrown on their tails nor neither do the chickens wait for a hunter to see the color in their eyes. At the present time I am just recovering from the results of an auto accident in which the driver w is killed and I slightly injured. We were in town Saturday October 17. The driver at whose heme I a n boarding got drunk and could not handle his machine. He ran too fast and lost control of it when w e struck a sand pile. The machine was thrown on both of us. I crawled out from under the wreckage and ran for help as best 1 could but until I returned the driver was dead. Upon examination my injuries were found to be nothing serious only a few bruises on my back and a small hole that was caused by the penetration of the little rod on the side of the car. While this was going on, at home were a mother and six children the eldest eight years old anxiously waiting for fathers’ return. They have no undertakers out here. Some one is hired to take care of
