Thomas Goats, Sr., one of the orig
inal members of the well-known firm of

this country for his health.
"A new play was produced recently
at the Odeon Theater, in Paris, under
decidedly novel circumstances. An
author had brought an action against
the manager because, after accepting a
play, he had delayed its production,

it was not 'by special request" )" but "by
judicial decree"
The fan in Spain is a well-known
weapon of expression, yet its ordinary
use is excessively monotonous. 1t has
three motions. 1t is opened, moved

are about nine feet high, and are made
of brick 49, inches long seven wide and

The Americas Journal of Fores,

The american Journal Of Forestry
records an instance of handsome profit
received for ten acres purchased ten
years ago in Logan Valley, in Neb-
raska, and planted with black walnuts,
by Colonel Van. He gave 81 % per
acre for the land, and after it was
handsomely covered with dense
growth of thrifty black walnuts, ten
years old, he sold the ten acres for
$4,000. The time will certainly come
when all this timber will be wanted at
an advanced and handsome price. and
there is nothing for which there will be
a more extensive demand than the best
large second-growth selected timber.
Judging from the way in which our
native forests are disappearing. the
market will not be glutted.

BANK BLOCK.

Mr.. Clampet informs us that the con-
tract is let and work will be COM
menced at once on his bank block, which
will occupy the southwest corner at the
intersection of Center avenue and
Main street, facing north on Center
avenue. The building will be two
story structure, and will be constructed
in such a manner that it can be veneer
ed with brick this fall. The vault lin
ing, safe and time-lock have been pur-
chased, and everything will be of the
best quality and finish, and the citizens
of Hurley are to be congratulated that
they are to have banking facilities at
an early day.
Parties in other localities have, by
various means, endcavored to dissuade
Mr.. Clampet from investing, and loca-
ting at Hurley, but being a man
of close discernment he was satisfied
that Hurley and the surrounding coun-
try possessed the qualifications necess;l-
ry for successful prosecution Of the
banking business, and consequently the
"yarns told him did not have the de-
sired effect.

There is not finer located townsite
in the west than that occupied by Hur-
ley. Commencing at /! point near the
depot grounds, which are located near
the eastern limit of the town, the land
gradually rises as you go west, until
the western extremity of the public
park is reached, where it attains an
altitude of some forty feet above the
depot grounds; thence to the western
limits is nearly level prairie, sloping
slightly to the north. From the resi-
dence portion of the town, commencing
on line with the eastern extremity of
the park, from the northwest around to
the southeast neaely every farm house
and grove (and the prairies are dotted
thickly with them) within distance
of from six to fifteen miles can be plain
ly seen, and more pleasing picture it
would be difficult to find anywhere.

STILL THEY COME.

Ex-Governor Newton Edmunds, of
Yankton, writes that as soon as trains
are runningI(which will be in about ten
days. he will erect a business block on
his property here. Mr.. E. owns three
choice lots on Center avenue, and will
no doubt put up structure of which
the town will have reason to be proud.
Governor Edmunds is one of Dakota's
earliest settlers, and no man in the ter
ritory is better posted Us TO the resour-
ces of this section of the great north
west. or as to the natural commercial
centers, and his investing in Hurley
property is q substantial indication of
his opinion of the future prosperity in
store for the town.
