THE improvement OF d town depend

throw obstacles in the way simply be-

in any way advance the interests of II

We clip the following from the Brit
ton Day Light:
THE soldiers at Fort Sissetcn were
somewhat surprised Monday morning, at
receiving orders To draw clothing for is
winters campaign, and be ready to move
to the Northern part Of Minnesota, or
near the Pembana couItry. 1t seems
that there is some difficulty between the
settlers of the Pembana country and the
British Government. The settlers In the
northern part OF Minnesota are going
across the line by hundreds TO help the
Pembana people. Consequently scidieys
have to be sent there to keep them back.
Our citizens y,ll be sorry to hear that
there is a prospect Of losing The conf-
mand at Fort Sisseton. True, others viii
take their places, but itWon't be to us like
the genial, jolly, whole-souled, gentleman-
ly boys THAT occupy the quarters now.
Friendships have been formed between
the boys and citizens that viii make moro
than one heart sad over the separation.
Boys, no matter where yon 20, you can
just count on tire good wishes Of the RI
PORTER. The Bladder will always hold
you in greatful remembrance for your
many kind nesscs,F Hope you nay find
comfortable quarters wherever you 90.
