d. Elwell, President Sioux Falls Water Power Com
pany.
DEAR SIR:-I have received from your company
since October /, 1882, about 100 caIloads Of granite
paving blocks and have laid them between the rails Of
our street railway tracks in the heart Of the city. j
have been using paving material in this city for many
years, and l take pleasure In saying that in my opin-
ion the granite paving blocks furnished by your com
pany are the most regular in shape and perfect in
form, and rs far as / have been able to judge, are
possessed Of as durable feature as any material that
has,ever been offered or laid In the city.

The return Of the Mutual Life In
suance Company will be found in our
advertising columns to-day. The e1-
hibit of this, the largest Of the life COM
panies, is certainly in the highest degree
encouraging and shows tnat the conf
dence with Which the company is
regarded hy the public is deserved and
rests upon sure foundation, excellent
management, ample reserves and tinan-
cial resources Of great strength. At the
beginning Of 1882 thu number Of policies
in force was lOl ,490; now the number
is l06,2l4. The amount of insurance
outstanding has risen from$3l5, 900, 1877
on the lat of Jan. 1882, to 1929, 554,l7
at the present time. The assets of the
Company, which in the previous year
had reached the large aggregate of
$94,702,957, were during the year still
further augmented and are now up to
almost SO millions ($97,96l, 3l8(,
These assets comprise over Al millions
of real estate mortgages, 203 millions
Of Government and other bonds, II
millions of loans on collateral, pretty
nearly eight millions invested in real
estate, almost three millions of cash
and various other items.

1t is noised abroad that Rugby is to
he Incorporated. The step will certainly
be one in the right direction. Outsiders
are glad that the people Of your town
have awakened to sense of their need.
A charter cannot fail to be help to
your existence and growth. With the
charter comes proper pride, and all
are actuated to do their utmost to give
"our place a record among the best"
The surroundings will soon wear a
different aspect, health interests will be
more looked after, and law and order
will be better observed. A public build
ing will now and then spring up, with.
out much warning, and your property
generally will much increase in value.
Your educational affairs will be under
your control, and the regulation or
exclusion Of the baleful liquor traffic
will have your consideration, in fact
you will inherit manhood, and the re-
sponsibilities attendant upon coming
of age. The managing Of ones own
affairs is q grand and great privilege.
Welcome the man from abroad, the
man of enterprise and capital extend
to him every inducement that can be
offered, through the agency Of your
charter. Protect bis interests, and soon
the benefits of the distribution of his
wealth will be felt, and you will grow
to a commercial and manufacturing
center. By all means effect an incor-
poration; grasp every opportunity which
tends to enhance the welfare Of your
place, and we, upon your borders, stand
with greeting, and friendly hand, ac-
knowledging you to be great among us.

On Wednesday there was very nearly

On Wednesday there was very nearly
a fatal catastrophe upon the White
Oak, not far from Shaver, Hall and
Frisbee's stave mill at East Rugby.
Four men got upon raft and proceeded
to collect bolts, but in going down the
river, which went roaring and tumbling
along in very rough style, large
rock was seen right before them and a
cry Of "Br. akers ahead y showed the
waves leapiug and breaking in grand
but ominoussform. Fearing their raft
would strike the rock and go to pieces,
and already being somewhat unman-
ageable, the four men leaped into the
stream, and with some difficulty three
of them, Jim Alfred, Max Butler, and a
man whose name we did not LEAF n,
reached the bank. George Dibhell
however, was left behind, struggling
with his apparently certain fate. After
being drawn under the whirling water
three times, and losing his coat, he was
rescued in very damp and exhausted
condition.

DON'T ovERDo IT.

A writer in the Cincinnati Gazette
says: "There is scarcely farmer
who does not plant a larger acreage
than ne can proftably attend to,
and the result is that three acres
hardly crop out so much as one acre
ought to; and we hear of twenty,
thirty or forty bushels of corn to the
acre where it ought to be sixty to
one hundred bushels, and if the
time spent on twenty acres of corn
were spent Oh ten, and the manure
drlbbled on the twenty we're juci-
clously used on the ten, there would
be ten acres put in grass, set to en-
rlching itself and at the same time
making splendid pasturage for
half score Of yearlings, besides real
lzlng full as much corn as in the old
way, and instead of ploughing the
corn only two or three times, we had
better plough it six times. Now |
know whereof | speak. During a
drought several years ago, a certain
farmer bade his boys plough the
corn seven times that summer, and
while the neighbor's cribs were very
lean that year his crop was the
largest ever gathered on that farm"

Some improvements are being
made on the Sedgemoor road, and
two or three houses are being erected
by parties who intend farming. We
are surprised to see so little of the
land in that direction taken up, as
its lay is good and the soil of fair
quality. Besides it is on good
road to the railway, and not far from
Rugby. Perhaps the Board of Aids
prices are to high.
