ORTONVILLE.

0RToNvILLE, MINI, May "a, 80.
EDITORS JOURNAL wish to cor
rect little item saw in your last IS
sue and also ID give you some idea of
our city one year old. don't mind
having you call us fellows who left
Pierce county Refugees, but don't
want to have my old friends in Pierce
county think am keeping hotel IN
Big Stone City, little town of per-
haps $50 inhabitants, when the truth
is ! am hanging out my sign in Orion
vile, one of the finest towns in the
great Northwest, with a population of
from 900 to | 200. Then my friend,
d. G. Wadsworth is not editing a pa
per here, although we have two, but
is at MontevideO, the county seat of
Chippewa county. And by the way
perhaps your readers would like to
know something about this town of
Ortonville. To such / would say in a
quiet way that we have one of the
finest little towns in the Northwest.
One year ago last April the fire fiend
destroyed the whole town with the ex-
ception of the Lake View Hotel,
which your humble servant presides
over, and three or four other small
buildings but it did not destroy our
beautiful town site, nor the go-ahead-
itiveness of the few energetic peo-
pie who were here at that time. 1t
was a hard blow to all as there was
scarcely any insurance. But Phoenix
like it rose from its ashes, and to-day
we have town of between 900 and
200 inhabitants, with nearly every
branch of business well represented.
To give you better idea would state
that we have five hotels, seven gener-
al stores, of which two or three do
quite an extensive jobbing business
with smaller stores scattered further
out in the country. We also have
three first-class hardware stores, two
splendid drug stores, two blacksmith
shops, and one plow factory. One OF
the blacksmith shops is owned and run
by one of your Pierce county ''Refu-
gees Mr.. Atha, of Prescott. Be-
sides we have liyeries, two banks,
milliners, bakeries, two barber shops,
and everything else that is included
in first-class town. We also have a
very nice steamboat which put on
steam yesterday for the first time.
She will make regular trips between
this place and Browns Valley, which
is at the north end of the lake, the
distance being IS miles. The boat is
built both for pleasure parties and
for business. 1t is us feet long by
% feet beam with cabin l4X50 feet
which can be used for dances and
other social gatherings. We have a
great many Pierce County people here.
| might go on and tell You about the
richness and beauty of this country,
and how men make fortunes in two or
three years, but hardly dare to do SO
for fear it would be the means of de-
populating Pierce county, and then,
YOU know, / would be blamed for it.
But should any of your readers want
to spend few weeks this summer i'm
proving their ''health'' would advise
them to come to Ortonville by all
means where everything in nature is
teeming with health restoratives, and
take daily rides on the prairies cover
ed with beautiful wild flowers, then
Jump aboard the little steamer and
take ride over the crystal waters of
BIG Stone Lake. Yours,

Next Saturday is The Great Shows
Day i'm HI udsOn.

Remember that it is Sells Brothers
Stupendous Confederation of Stupen-
dous Railroad Shows, the grandest and
most attractive of all American
amusement enterprises. Remember
that it has the largest managerie; the
greatest circus; the only James Rob-
inson; the largest herd of Elephants
ever seen in parade; the only pair of
Full-grown, Living Hippopotami; the
aquarium of huge Sea Lions; the only
drove of performing Colorado Cattle;
the only Two-horned, Hairy Rhinoc-
eros; the only Willis Cobb Miniature
Circus; the only King Sarbro's Royal
Japanese Circus; the only genuine
Electric Light and Motor, exhibited
both afternoon and evening; the only
tribe of Ute Chiefs and Braves. Re-
member that it is the only show that
does not rent its privileges; is manag-
ed in person by its proprietors; per-
mits no peddling in its tents; de-
mands protection from the authorities
for its patrons against swindlers, ex-
hibits all it adyertises, and is the tow
eIing Colossus among all shows. 1t

hear something of our town. Grand Forks
is situated at the junction of the Red Lake
and Red rivers, and is one OF the liveiest
towns this side of st. Paul 1t has ten dry
goods and grocery stores, three drug, four
hardware, three boot and shoe, and two fur
niture stores, five hotels, two newspapers.
several livery stables and restaurants.
Building has been in progress all winter ex-
cept few of the coolest days. After snow
came four or five warehouses, q railroad
bridge and several stores were built before
spring. Since then twelve stores have been
built and most OF them are now ready for oc-
cupancy. We have good schools, and are
erecting ten thousand dollar school-house
this summer. Several churches are already
up and by fall many more denominations
will be represented We have a good fire
engine. Steamboats, make regular trips up
and down the river, and the cars have run
regularly since the snow blockade and every
train is loaded. l04, 900 acres OF land were
entered at the land office the first day it was
opened. Grain is locking finely. In two
weeks from this date hay enough can be cut
on the prairies to iced the teams. The eli
mate is healthy. A man with a good team
can do well here, but ii | had a farm in Pierce
county paid for | should not leave. There

We live in an age OF improvements
as is evident to all when we consider
the wonderful discoveries which are
coming to light day 10y day. One of
the latest and most wonderful is the
discovery of Kendall's SPAWN Cure,
which will cure SPAWN, splint, curb,
callous or ring-bone, and remove the
enlargement without even blistering
or causing sore and it has recently
been tested for deep-seated pains, rheu-
matism, engagements and many simi-
lar difficulties on man as we'll as beast,
and it has been found to work SO well
that it is now believed to be the very
best liniment for external use on man,
that has ever been discovered. 1t can
be used full strength at all seasons of
the year with perfect safety. Read
the advertisement for Kendall's Spav-
in Cure.

sudden Death.

Last Monday afternoon the citizens
of Clifton were shocked to learn of
the sudden and unexpected death of
William Schofield, one of the most
highly esteemed citizens of that town.
He had been enjoying his usual good
health, and when last seen by his fami-
ly on Monday afternoon at about half
past three o'clock was engaged in
sweeping out his barn, which work he
had just completed when he was
stricken down with apopleXy and died
apparently without a struggle. When
found, at four o'clock P. NJ. he was
lying upon his hands and knees just
outside the barn door still holding the
broom with which he had been sweep
ing.
Deceased was born in Philadelphia
in 1919 and was, therefore, sixty one
years of age. He was married to
Julia Davis, of Westchester, Penn,
in 1914, and removed with his family
to Ohio in 1854 and to Washington Co.
MIMI, in 1856. Shortly afterwards
he returned to Ohio where he remain
ed two years and again moved to Min
nesota from whence he came to Cliff
ton ten years ago, where he has since
resided. A brother and sister of de-
ceased died under very similar circum-
stances. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. VIM. Haw at the
church in Clifton on Tuesday after
noon and were attended by a large
cOncourse of people. The remains
were inferred in the cemetery at Pres
colt. Deceased leaves a wife, two
daughters and four sons to mourn his
loss. A large circle of friends SYM
pathize with them in their bereave-
ment.
