west line of said town to the south west
corner of section 10.
We learn that the machine shed owned
by T F. owing is TO he moved and
new one capable of containing at least one

ate with the r r. Co. and employ night
Waterman. Our lumber yards undoub'
eddy, are plundered as well as the wood
piles. There is nothing to keep any par

UNE have heen frequently demonstrated,

nual Fairs more interesting. To accom-
pIsh this, it is suggested that at the next
annual gathering, members Of the society
be called upon to read papers on various
topics, and also discuss subjects that rer-

The action taken by the Board of Trade
voting to issue an Immigration pamph-
let in the interests of Stevens County is
one of the wisest steps they have taken. 1t
is now ii question, of whether we are to
make al effort 10 divert and draw IL por.

with spring will flow through the State, or
whether we will allow other localities 10
secure the bulk of the immigration. Doug
las County is putting forth every effort and
the south and north portions Of the State,
are also leaving no stone unturned We
are glad to see our business men SO fully
and keenly alive to theil interests and we
hope that no efforts will be spared to have
Stevens County thoroughly advertised.
