particular. The first part Of the pro-
gramme after our arrival was especially
gratifying to poor, starved editor. The
dinner was almost wholly grown in
Brule county. Mrs. Capt. Lowe fur

styles known to the culinary art. The

both beet and cucumbers, from their own

en-, new currant jell, and variety of
vegetables only known in Brule county,
while Mrs. Seth Taylor, Hall, Gardner.
Stout, Oliver and Lewis, we're on hand
with full and rich supply of all tie
delicacies of the season. How we wished
for some of our poor, starved Iowa edi-
tor friends. that We might make their
hearts glad for once in their natural
lives. for the supply seemed exhaustless.
After the least we supposed everybody
was too full for utterance especially as
Senator Goodykoontz, the posted orator
for the occasion was absent, but there
was no lack in this direction. Major
keltam was called upon and made one
OF the finest impromptu speeches we
have ever heard. The major is not only
easy and fluent in delivery but every
sentence had meaning, both practical
and comprehensive. He showed great
advantages to be derived from tree cul-
ture in all its bearings, viz: In climate,
rainfall. stock, grains, grasses, fruit cul-
ture, and last but not. least the bcauti-
flying of homes. The association
were exceedingly we'll pleased
and | all oined ea in the %aGfs he speech ps61
address them again at the annual meet
ing IN January next. After Major Kel-
lam, Hon. j. Fl. King was called for and
gave. very interesting talk on the Mis-
souri, river improvement question which
is OF much importance to the producers

an active part in the barge convention
held on the 21st of last month at Coun-
Gil Bluffe, and secured for Brule county
representative to work with represen-
tatives from Iowa, Nebraska and Mis-
souri,, whose headquarters shall be
Council Bluffs. MIR. King also encoul-
aged the Brule County Tree planters as
sociation to continue in the good work
SO we'll begun. DR.. Gardner and Mr..
Newman gave very interesting and prac-
tical talks on the culture of trees. On
motion of Capt. Lowe the following re-
solutions were unanimously adopted
