The village of Donne'ly has taken a new
start in life, and Judging from the many
new business enterprises and improve
ments, and from the class of experienced
and enterprising business men,
who are investing capital at that point, it
is evident that our sister village will be-
come of some importance, and be. what
from its location and surroundings it should
have been. Donnelly has been unfortu
nate in not having men of III, ans, push and
grit for its early settlers, and hence the
town has lost control of the trade naturally
tributary 10 it. Now however, a new class
of settlers are taking the reins and by care
full, patient and diligent work the town
will regain lost ground and go ahead at Il
pace which will astoEish even the most san
guine. There is u large tract of territory
tributary to Donuelly, the trade of which
naturally belongs TO it, but this trade is
now controlled by Morris and Herman,
but if proper means are taken by the mer.
chants and business men of Donnelly, they
can easily attract it to their village and re-
gain control of it.

Editor Norris Tribune,
DEAR SIR:-In your last issue noticed
the many improvements which you called
to mind, in your fiourishing town, ana
with your permission l would like to note
down for your many readers, the improve
ments in this burg. Ten years ago, they
were laying the track through here. The first
buildings erected, were the station, depot
and section house, next Came Mr.. England,
from Alexandria, who erected large two
story building for general merchandise, he
using the upper part as a dwelling, and do
ing an immense business, as well as con
Quoting the post office, which he has con
tinued to occupy ever since. Some two
years ago he sold out the store and lot to
the firm of Emmcrson & Mason, who hail
from New Hampshire, and this year moved
the store off the lot and have erected one
of the finest buildings on this line of road
and crammed it with splendid stock OF
goods They are business men and doing
splendid business The next to come In
was Messrs Helgeson & Wells, who
erected one story. building, doing for
term of years the most of the business.
Shortly after Slr Wells went to Morris,
where he now is engaged in the firm Of
Wolff s. Wells, who are probably doing
the heaviest business in general merchan
disc of any firm in Stevens county. they
are very popular and certainly deserve sue
cess Next came Mr. Erickson, who built
large two story hardware store, and by
taking in Dir. Brevig, Helgeson's old clerk,
they engaged heavily iu hardware, lumber
-four and feed and agricultural implements
their trade became SO enormous that they
were compelled to erect another still larger
building, and venture to say, for the last
three years, their sales have averaged over
$50, 900 year. John has got TO be quite
an expert in handling the yard stick and
from morning till night, it is tramp,
tramp. tramp, the boys are marching !,
Mr. England soon after selling out, erected,
his post Office, and in connection with it
filled it with notions, and his business has
been SO great he also built an addition, to
ACCOMMODATE his many customers. To
getber with these improvements, he has
erected one. if not the largest dwelling In
town aud IF course Is contented and happy,
with one of the finest farms in the county

grossly improper. The prostitution of
such high and honorable position, should
be condemned by the entire ress OF the

influenced in its course by the fact that
Tonsley is republican, yet this does not
alter the case. Tonsley should be made to
