PesA " VI 10 ilcll pttSSeu CnIOuSn w eS-
sington Springs on their way to Wal
worth Go. to survey government land.
They inform us that Mr.. Wooley, OF
Yanktony will be here in short time
and survey the unsurveyed township
west of us.
Thdtrouble that occurred here last
week between two claimants and which
was lkfly to disturb the peace and
quiet ofpur new county, and might
have ledto lasting feud was brought
to settament, and to the satisfaction
OF both Rrties by the untiring efforts
OF Messs. Dunn and Hackett.
Dakete may escape the calamity of a
drought and grasshoppers this coming
season, hut the influx of immigrants |
to tkse eesritory is liable to produce a
famine. yhey are covering that land
about three edeep.-Appleton Post.
Well, misery loves company; we like
the people Ginning; and still there's
room for more. Come on.
Messrs. Tar(ell and Woodburn by
diligent labor between showers have
succeeded in CITING their first build
ing enclosed. lhis will be used by the
workmen while working on the hotel
Which will be 22{50-two stories high.
AS soon as this Alilding is completed
the same parties will proceed to the
erection of another hotel Al \ 6O-two
stories high to cont when completed
$4,000.
Who is there afraM to celebrate the
Fourth of July? Who is there that
does not wish to celebrate July 4th.
1882 we do not hfar a dissenting
voice; it being then Needed that we
shall celebrate, who will call meeting
to make the necessary arrangements,
appoint the needed committees and get
things in readiness for a splendid time
at Washington Springs July 4th, 1883.
Don't be bashful but Let us hear from
you.
]. R. Dunn Of the finn of Dunn and
Hackett, arrived here last Saturday,
Mr.. Hackett remaining at Mitchell
few days, to purchase blanks, ETC., nee
essary to do a general land office bust
ness. They have built a very snug Of
flee on the new town site at the Springs,
Where they will be on hand to wait
upon clients and do a general real es-
tate, loan and law business. The Boys
are from Fayette county, Iowa, and
come highly recommended. See card.
There is one branch OF industry that
ranks perhaps in the line of factories
that in our opinion would be a profta-
BILE business here at the Springs at the
present time, and that is creamery.
The grass and water for the stock are
here, the Springs are here and we un-
derstand that Messrs. Burr and Scott
will cooperate with any one wishing
to start an enterprise of this kind so
that it will be a success from the start.
Will not some one who has had practi-
cal experience in this line Of business
investigate this matter?
The attention of parties contesting
claims in Jerauld county is called to
the following extract from the "Rules
of Practice" now in force in the U. S.
District Land Offices:
RULE 13.-"Notice by publication
shall be made by advertising the no.
tice at least once week for four sue
cessive weeks in some newspaper pub
lished in the county wherein the land
in contest lies; and, if no newspaper
be published in such county, then in
the newspaper published in the county
nearest to such land"
Jeramd county embraces Townships
1O6, 1O7 and lOS, Ranges 63, Ga, IS, 66
and 81. The only paper published in
Jerauld county is the WASHINGTON
SPRINas HERALD.
From a letter, published in the Mt.
Gilead, o., Sentinel from the pen OF
MIR. Robert D. Thompson: "Iaast week
we drove to washington Hills, a range
of low mountains, twenty.six miles
away and just visible frolt1 here. The
drive scented very short as the roads
were smooth and perfectly level, ex-
cepting an occasional swell in the prai-
rie. We experienced a little rough
country as we approached tie 1'iresteel
creek, a small stream crossing our
route; this we forded and sped on our
way. We saw a number of farmers
ploWing and sowing grain, and with
the large herds Of cattle grazing On the
dried buffalo grass, and ali occasional
village OF prairie dogs. II made d
pleasing sight, one that makes a fellow
feel like joining them (tne farmers l
mean.) and "beii1g enc on EN-" Half
d mile away are the feuUWned Wes-
sington Springs, and | must say, it is a
beautiful resort. There we sew the
primitive log cabin with the hay roof,
