The North Dakota Banner 13 Mr. Burns had the pleasure of a visit recently with a former school mate of his from the Minnesota School for the Deaf, Mr. Kenneth Schimmle. Mr. Schimmle came from Valley City, N. D., where he had been visiting relatives. £§ The adventurous spirit of Miss Spicer carried her away from her country, up the Pacific Ocean to Alaska last summer. The chief cities she visited were Juneau and Skagway, going as far as Lake Glacier. A very interesting account of the trip is given elsewhere. Mrs. Mabel Hanson of Redstone, Montana, stopped again in Devils Lake on June 19 as tlie guest of Mrs, Sheridan en route; to her home from Faribault, Northfield and Duluth. At Minneapolis she attended the convention of the Minnesota Association of the Deaf, Mr. Sinclair Russel, brother of Miss Elizabeth Russel, lias kindly loaned the school a Shetland pony for the children to play with. Tlie pony meekly carries his loads up and down file road with kiddies in front and kiddies behind him, but always one on his back. The hunting season opened with good reports both of gun and of hunters as to outlook. The largest bunch Mr. Driggs brought in contained fifteen ducks. Mr, Langenberg also had good luck. He got eight party. mallards totaled ii i tnd with lefeen. others, in the © The Fourth of July picnic for the deaf at iViinot was not, the big affair it was the year before. The weather was unfavorable, but the small number who attended it, managed to have a good time. Quite a. number of deaf people wcyc tit Oando on the Fourth the chief attraction there was the county fair. M i iVl ftliss Verna Welsh sent Driggs a clipping showing the names of winners tit the Langdon county fair. Her name was in the list. She got, first prize for hose darning and second for colored embroidery. Muss Edith Hamilton also came out, with honors shining through a boudoir lamp. There are two little girls entered this fall from Leonard, N. I)., who are attracting unusual attention, due to the fact, that they tire twins. Their father brought them here with tlie crowd from Cargo. It is easier to distinguish their names —Marjor- ie and Marilyn—than the little girls themselves. Mr, and Mrs. Ottaway and their daughter Leora spent part of their vacation in file Black Hills of South Dakota, a very good description of the trip is given by Leora elsewhere. Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, and Mr. and Mrs. Osburn also made trips out in Minnesota at, different times and all had a pleaseit outing. Two jidinnesota boys, Edward ftlalley and Henry tnine paid us a visit recently. Edward was in Devils Lake in the interest of the Owatonna nursery and had a chance to visit file school.
