G., re- cently returned. from a trip to the -far. north. Thetrip centered on-the an- nual.Dog derby.that is run ftomn The Pas to Flen FIomn in the. early part of March of each year. The two boys left Chicago on Feb- ruary.'24., They journeyed to' Win?- nipeg by train and spent a, day there. They next went to The. Pas and. got there just in time to sée the start of the derbyý The derby is run overth e hundredmile course. fromn The Pas which is the rnost northern town ini Canada,. to Men Flom whose chief claim to imiportance is that it is the end of the derby. After witnessing the Derby the two boys .¶'ted, Guyiig to _Ohulrchill, whlch is one of the principal raining towns In Canada, and Joel going on to Flen Flom. Churchill had been the ori- ginl object of the trip, but as it was Impossible to get'two passes f rom the government te allow them both te go, Joel gave up lits night in this to Guy. They spent a week in each of their re- spective places and thon started home, arrivlng on March 24. The boys were able te make the entfre trip by train, but this 'dogs not prove that trains are the principal means of conveyance. The train from The Pas to Churchill runs but once every two Weeks and takesfour days toeinake the 500 mile trip. The boys made in&any trips by dog sied and pla.nned a long thre hundredi mile trip, but .were obliged to give up their plans when their Rusher got sick.,, The Pas ihas a population of oxly 3,- 000, but it ranks second only te Win- nipeg In whiskey consumption, se It Is safe te say that besides being the mnict northern city In Canada it ls probably the toughest.

Te protect theMselves f rom the Intense cold which averaged 40 degrees below zero, the boys wore their heaviest' clothes and flve -pairs of sox. Hitch-Hikers Get. _Togetiier; Swap Yarns, of Travel. Several New Trier boys ýtook to bitch-hiking this spring vacation. in cemparing notes and expériences .of our trips,: I find that, these nlay be compared te woen7-tbey're aIl the same, yet extremely different. We ail stand. along the road and flag the: cars in hopes* that one will stop.. One, walks as he hails them, another stands stili for lack of ambi - tion and still another sits as he is waiting for. the, "good Samaritan." One. by chance catches a ride. His chauffeur is the well-known. tra:veling salesman and thus worldly stories of, good times are told. This sort of driver is usually the kind that lets you off just before: meal time. Then another chauffeur is a college professor or perhaps: a doctor.. The twe talk of éducation, com~ing inven- tion, or future wars. This man is usually good for at least one meal. Then another New Trier bum bails some old hick or farmer whom he finds even more ignorant than. him-_ self. This, sap> is neyer good for more than a- few miles, let alonea.nmeal.' A truck very seldom passes up one of these, vagabonds. Though the trucks are dirty, one appreciates the customary long ride. If one catches a ride f rom a truck driver, be soon forgets the times he couldn't pass him while driving bis own car. Most curious of ail, one vagrant (you couldn't guess) catches a ride from five Hoosier school teachers. He is crowded in between two of these "femmes" 'net to bis dispicasure. He is their. chaperon for over one-hun- dred miles-judging debates. and. settling arguments. A cheap tou pst house or Y.M.C.A. makes a fine lo?ýging for one, but they alt admit the city hall, commonly known as jail is, the acme of such a1 iodger, for it costs, nothing- and a breakfast is usualiy tbrown in for good measure.
