The ship keeled aven ta ane side and the passengers who were seated at breakfast werel sent in ail directions across the din- ing roomn while dishes and tables jpiled up unceremaniously in the cor- .ner of the room. 1 However, Lhey flnally reached .Duluth where Lley Look a train ta jFisler's Landing on the Red River jin North Dakota. They Journeyed Up the Red River by steamboat ta, Emerson, Just over Lhe Canadian barder and sixty miles south of Win- >nipeg. Emerson was only a small place laving a gracery store, livery stable, lumber yard, hardware store and the land office. Here the party got particulars of the vacant sections of land ta the west and Lley decided ta travel until they found a district wlere they ail could settle down to- gether. They then hined a man and a teani at $4.50 per day ta take tlem on their way. Fifteen miles west of Emerson tley came upon a settle- ment 0f Mennonites who had been there for twa years and were appar- ently prasperaus. Tley had lame- steaded a section of land containing two townships in width and six townships in lengtl. The party continued on their way in search of a likely looking settlement and after passing another settiement, whlcl had been opened up for JusL a year, they finally came upon a virgin sec- tion which as yet had flot; been claixned by any man. Tis was i township 3. range 7, west, this being the 3rd township f rom the Ainerican Boundary. The townsip was six miles square and entirely vacant so each man In the party laid dlaim ta a hall section, 320 acres, clalming 160 acres as a hamestead and 160 acres as pre-emptian. Beach Destination They then returned ta, Emerson where Lley flled their clainis at Lie land office paylng $10 for the home- stead and $1 per acre for the second 160 acres. Having naw completed their business they returned home ta Darlington where tley had sown a spring crop and whlci was now1 ready for the larvest. They arrived home on June 5Lh, alLer havlng been away a whole1 month. Before Ieavigthe west they1 had arranged for a man ta break 5 ta 10 acres for each a! the prospec-1 tive new settlers. In the flU tiey1 returned with O. Pickeil. accompan-1 ied by his brother, and ail the aLlers1 taking their familles along wlth1 them. They wlshed durlng the win- ter months ta, draw logs while there was snow for there were fia ronds ta use in the suxnmer Lime. Each toakc a horse along wli tl em. and Mr.1 Stevens also took his buggy but ont their arrivai at Fisher's Landing thet ship's officers refused to, let Lie stock 1 on board, sa Mr. Stevens, accompan- ied by the Young people and the lad- ies, went by boat, whlle the two Pickells drove the lorses ta Emer-1 son, same 200 miles away, taking five days ta make the trip. In Lheie meantime Mr. Stevens and the fam-t illes arrlved and were ioused i m- 1 Made Own lni.et Previous to the openlng of the railways the only mode of travel was made by themselves in their open wagon and home-made sleighs. Mr. Stevens recailed the first slelgh he made and how they took an oak tree Up fram the roots to get the curve for the runners. There were no blacksmith shops and consequently there was fia metal and everythlng had ta be made by hand from lum- ber. Incidently these hand-made sleighs and iniplements lasted for years. On their journeys ta Emerson for supplies they were f orced to cross the Pembina River and no bridge belng available for some years the crosslng had ta be made by fording the stream at narrowest and shal- lowest point. This praved to be 20 f eet deep and one man would ride across an the horses' backs get the supplies and bring them the same way back and tiien load the wagon and return. Mr. Stevens tald o! one Yaung Englishman who fell into the river and catchlng cold inter died. A wait of some days was necessitated by the fact that there were no caf- fins ta bury him and one had ta be made by a carpenter some distance away out of planks. Build Debt-Free Church 0f course in its early history Dar- lingford had no churches but a mis- sianary was statianed at Carman, 40 miles away, and lie used at times ta corne and take services in the coiany. Af ter seven or eight years it was de- cided ta build a church and every f armer in the district gave a note for a stated amaunt which was ta fali due after harvest. The churcli was built an the farm af William White and the farmers agreed ta furnish the stane and sand while the brick was later braught in. The church was finaily completed and opened free of debt with Rev. Mr. Kenny as the f irst minister. The church iIs still Jn use. In the early days of the churcli the farmers f ram the sur- rouriding country came In miles ta attend the services. in their oxen drawn wagons and thé event was ane a! the évents of'the week. It was sucli men as Mr. Stevens 'and his friends w ho opened Up the West that ail the credit for West- ern Canada's development must go.

The two hakel lived with tiree of these bachelors wlile Mr. Stevens went with the aLler two. Bauid Houses and Barns Later they returned ta Emerson and brougît their families ta the settiement. There was nat a shingle witlin 100 miles so hauses lad ta be roafed witl swale grass. During Lhe 1wmnter the men worked getting legs, having ta draw Liem 10 ta 15 miles. When spring came they bult bouses and barns all 0f the same size, 18 feet by 24 feet and 16 feet high. There was fia market where they could go and buy or sell se tley had ta be content with what praduce they couid raise Llemselves. There were any amaunt of deer, elk, moase, bear, prairie chlcken, ducks and geese in season se that there was no lack af meat. About three years af- ter the party had settled there the C. P. R. came througl their settie- ment and in honor af Lie flrst set- tlers wlo came f rom Darlington they named the station there Darlinglord. Stations were built every six or seven miles sa that every settlement had close access ta the elevators. Prev- ions ta Lie raiiway coming in the wheat had ta be drawn ta Emerson same 75 miles away where they sold their wleat for 65C a bushel. Here tley dld their marketing, buying what grocer.es happened ta be in stock and ah 0of whicl were brought ini by cart from Winnipeg. Tley had ta pay 25e Pound for sugar and cor- respandingly high prices for ail other graceries. For years tley worked without the aid of machinery, ail the lard work being dane by land and whatever implements were used were made by tlemselves. Pay $645 for First Binder They bought; their flrst seed grain f rom the Mennonite settlement te the east and lad same wanderful crops ta fuililn their hopes of a bountiful country. It was net until several years that machinery made its appearance in the section and that was when Mr. Stevens bought the first binder whlch. incidentaily cost i $645 as compared with $240 taday. For their flrst load of grist tley drove 265 miles i a wagon and ta get oats f or their herses a trip of 100 miles was undertaken. AlLter the flrst crop was taken off Lhe party were f airly weil situated laving a big crop and at prices whlcl were then consldered good. Mr. Stevens recails Laking off 600 bushels o! patatoes frein one acre the first year le was there. Many of these weighed as muci as four and flve pounds and were as solld as cauld be. Ail kinds of Ontario dom- estic vegetables were grown with equal success except corn whlcl tley couid fnot grow until the land had been used for some years. They tlought IL qulte common ta get 65 bushels of wleat ta the acre and 125 bushels of aats. On the trip into this country froma Oshawa tley were charged a fare of $69, Mr. Stevens having ta pay for c hixnself and wlfe and two daughters. t At that Lime, by way of contrast, in- 2 migrants were brougît from England i to Winnipeg for $15.r Hudson bas been farnous for per- formance for 22 yenrs.
