Winter Has No Terrors For Northern | Minnesota Homesteaders. “If vou want to see snow just go up into the vailey of the Rainy River,” said B. Av English. a settler fron the Big Fork country, We have snow in the north country, and plenty of it It lies about three feet deep on the | jevel, [ should say, and the loggers | have no complaint to make because.) tbere is net enough of it. ‘Despite the fact that winter cuts off almost all communication with the outside’ world the co'd season is not so unpleasant to Lhe settlers through that region as some people might imagine. They have their saci- al pleasures, too, although under con- ditions slightly different then is the case wilp you City folks, Perehance there is a dance, for instance, at one of ube river settlements. Of eource ail Lhe young men, and the women, boo, nob to speak ‘of the older voe have tobe on hand. To mauy th means an eight or ten-mile tramp on snow shoes through the woods, or down tbe river bed. Maybe they come from even a greater distauce. Where roads allow, sleigh are used. 33 “But the fact of there being no road presents no obstacles to the settler, A long tramp on Snow shoes has no. ter- aud if he has been in the woods long such a journey is about as easy as walking in the sutwmer time; easier, in fact, for he does not have to bother with the swamps. Our families really are content, and I don’t know but that they have good reason .ly. be. With plenty to eat, and plenty to’ wear, and nothing particular to about, the life, even during vld montas. is nota bad one to lead. “We kind of ‘den up’ for the winter like the bears, and_don’t feel called upon to-do any particular work, un- less it-be to get. fuel. or unless we fiad ourselves in need of exercise. Of course much of the spare time is tak- en up by enlarging our clearings, but there is nothing compulsory about tbis, and if we want to lounge about the house-for a week or two in com- fort, there is no reason why we shouldn’t do so. To my notion it beats working ten hours a-day in the city, and I would be willing to bet that in ten or fifteen years from now we shall be better off in a worldly way than the average common per- sons who grubs along in the city, worrying and cussing his way through life for the same length of time. “We have uo quarrel with the fuel mag, wnd care not a rap whether meat is 1¥cents a pound or 50 cents a pound. The plumber is a man seen only in our dreams, and its all the same to us whether the light and water com- panjes, with their everlasting bills, live or die.
