"Wieberg and his, 16-year-old daughter, : ftLoreem, a^e completing a trip from "-. their home at The Pas, Manitoba, <>-Canada, to A Century, of Progress in • . Chicago and return by dog team, a w ^complete distance of nearly 5,000 ! miles. • * f, McHenry has been "Yisited by Sl- Wmost etery kind of Conveyance frd'm .. airplanes and automobiles -of foreign • makes, Dusenbergs' Packards, and Fierce-Arrows to the little Austin, the - old familiar horse and buggy and even the pony and cart, but never before in its history has this city been visited by a dog team and wagon and their owners such as was the case oyer the week-end. " ! This novel outfit which attracted much attention during its stay here, was put up at the C. J. Bender home where Mr. Weberg and his daughter were entertained over the week-end and the dogs were allowed to rest for the continuance of their journey Monday night. It was a lucky break for these two people when they pulled their dog team off to the side of the road early Saturday morning for a rest, for when morning came they were discdvered by Mr. Bender, who invited .them in and gave them lodging and food and was very kind to theni during their visit here at this beautiful home. « <j© V At their home on the edge of th^ vast unexplored region in Northern Canada many months ago, Mr. Weberg and his family planned this trip, which his friends termed an impossible feat, to the World's Fair, where he hoped to reap fame ahd fortune through his outfit ana his almost unbeleivable accomplishment. Disappointed At Fair Now, with his golden dreama shattered and his faith in mankind broken, this man of dauntless spirit and his equally brave daughter, are returning home after an unsuccessful attempt to rent ground at the World's Fair, where they were treated with a great lack of consideration by the officials who they claim denied them a equare deal in every respect- Travelling by night to avoid the heavy traffic and to avail themselves of the cooler temperature for the . dogs, the 2,400 mile trip from Mani- . toba to Chicago was made in seventythree nights, starting on May 29 and arriving in Chicago on August 11. Averaging all the way from twenty to fifty miles per night, the days were spent in resting and preparing for the continuance of the journey by night. Three beautiful black dogs, Queen, the mother, 2% years old, and two sons,. Jeff and Jim, comprise the team, the fourth dog having the misfortune to break a leg forty miles beyond the border, was killed, leaving his three mates to make the remaining 1,800 miles alone. These tall, rangey dogs are a cross between the police dog and the timber wolf and their sieek, silken sides sho\^/evidence of good treatment despite their long, hard journey during „ which they consumed over 1,140 lbs. of. meat in addition to milk, bread, oatmeal and an occasional treat of ice cream cones of which they are very fond, given to them by various admirers. The owner estimates that over a million and a half people have seen and admired the dogs since they left their home in the far north. Draw Sleigh on Wheels ' The dogs draw a regulation northern sleigh mounted on wheels with the second pair of axles now in use and travel without reins, being guided entirely by their master's voice and his familiar "Gee and haw" to which they have been so well trained. Loreen, the slight, blonde school girl, who says she has enjoyed the trip, sits in the rear of the sleigh and flashes a red flash light occasionally as a warning to approaching automobiles. The dogs wea^ canvas moccasins to protect their feet on the hard pavement and they have worn out 907 of these shoes, Loree^ using eighty-two yards of canvas in making- the ri«?ccasins, Mr. Weberg estimates ^Ihat he has walked 1,300 miles of the trip and his daughter at least 200 miles and he has worn out nine pairs of shoes thus far on his Journey. While in Chicago Loreen was taken sick, her illness being laid largely to . disappointment over the unsuccessful culmination of their journey, but she ( regained her courage and is looking > forward to her return home, where her mother, two brothers and two sisters are eagerly awaiting her arrival. Mr. Weberg says that if he were not a Yankee he would have abandoned his project in Minneapolis, but as •I* was he decided to carry out his original plans and refused the generous offer of Mr. Bender to put he and his daughter, his dogs and entire outfit on the train and pay their carfare home. Citizen of United State* * Weberg is a citizen of the United States, having been born in Minnesota and raised in North Dakota, going to Canada about twenty-eight years ago, (ConUiMed o* last page.)

The summer season is one of activity in the Fox River Valley as many .tourists hurry over the smooth roads, through the Cities and past the villages during thfc summer months they see many interesting sights in every locality for nearly every community, has something of interest to give to its visitors. The buildings ir» McHenry Which have perhaps received the most visitors during the vacation months are the churches where four masses are celebrated every Sunday morning with the spacious edifices of St. Mary's and St. Patrick's churches crowded for e.very ceremony; Civilization is marked by man's devotion to/ his Deity and far down the corridors of time we observe the human race at work erecting temples to their ideals of God and worshiping at various shrines. Perhaps the busy Uhlcago residents are in the country for only the weekend, yet they never neglect or forget their church and are always in attendance at a service on Sunday. -^Bohi Father Nix, pastor of St. Mark's church and Father O'Rourke of St. Patrick's church, have assistants during the summer to help in the extra church services and assist' in various ways. The history of the church is most interesting as it is traced down through the many years and as the parishes have grown from only two or three members to nearly as many hundred at the present time. McHenry is one of the oldest Catholic settlements in the Rockford diocese and the earliest residents who came to till the soil left a rich heritage of the faith to their followers. St. Patrick's Organized In 1880 ® St. Patrick's congregation was organized in 1840 by the Rev. de St. Palais, afterward Bishop of Vincennes Here he found a few Irish and German settlers whose spiritual welfare formed a part of his great missionary labors until he was appointed Bishop of Vincennes. Among the early setllers the names of Michael Sutton, George Frisby and James Gibbs are , given special mention. " -- | Until the year 1853 Holy Mass was offered ocassionally in the houses of (the different settlers. However, in that year a considerable of emigrants jfrom Kilkenny made the building of a church necessary. Consequently a j brick church was built at a cost of about $3,000, though several additions were later made. The first parochial residence was built in the fifties, but was replaced ih 1899 by a modern rectory erected by the Rev. O'Neil. -- 6n Sunday, Oct. 29, 1916, St. Patrick's parish celebrated the diamond i jubilee of its founding. The present beautiful church wa$ j built in 1922 by Rev. M. J. McEvoy. j It is of Romanesque type of architecture and -^commodates 450 persons j in the eoifice and 100 in the chapel, j At least one parfshoner. a lady 87 years old, was present at the dedicaj tion of the new edifice, who had attended the same service for the old church. The priests who have attended St. Patricks' since its foundation are: The Revs, de St. Palais, Gruguer, Mc- Gorisk, McMahon, Hampston, Hugh Brady, P. Gaffney, James Morau, r\- Eustace, James Meagher, P. Smith, G. Pendergast, Peter Birch, John Kilkenny, John Wayes, Peter Gormley, Michael Welby, P. M. O' Neil, Paul Bourke, Dan Lehan?, Henry Hagen, Chas. H. Quinn, JVL J. McEvoy and the present pastor, Rev. Wm. A. O'Rourke- Father O'Rourke, was born in New Haven, Conn. Upon the completion of his theological studies he was ordained to the priesthood in St. JSxeph cathedra], Buffalo, N. Y., oh -tome 1, 1912.

Can't you just hear their stirring music as you scan this interesting picture and endeavor to pick out a familiar face or two? We are wondering just how many of our readers will be able to recognize the members of this group who comprised the first band ever to be 'organized in this' part of the County. It was fifty-six years ago or ffiore lives in McHenry, Matt Schaefer, Joseph P- Schaefer of Ringwood, Peter Schaefer of Johnsburg and Henry Duckinger of Springfield. The oldest living member of the band is Frank Smith of McHenry, now5 89 years old, with several others of the survivors now well up in the eighties. Henry Duckinger was the director of the band and a school tern her at" nrhen this picture was taken of tb^j Johnsburg, getting a part of his edutHrteen young men who then made up the Johnsburg band and at t'ne present time only five are living out of the group. * Just so you will recognize each one of the players, we are going to tell you who they are.

Nearly all the band member^ have answered their summons tb the Great Peyond, with the exception of five of them, including Frank Smith, who cation at Milwaukee. After a few jv&rs he went to Springfield to teach, leaving his musical group that he had enjoyed so much. Four of the living members are brothers being Matt, Peter and Joseph P. Schaefer and Frank Smith and these four boys made up a musical and jolly family. : The picture, was taken with the band boys standing in front of what is now Ben Schaefer's store In Johnsburg.
