and churches and all the appurten-
ances of an older country are estab-
lished, where society is no longer
crude and uncultured, is morally GER
tain and that they would stop here in
preference to going on to endure all
the privations of pioneer life, goes
without saying. All that is needed
then to secure settlers for our county
is dissemination of knowledge. Let
articles be written briefly and tersely
stating the natural advantages of our
soil, the many improvements made,
and how and upon what easy terms
farms can be obtained and let our
citizens unite in raising purse to pay
for the publication of these articles in
the Scandinavian, German, and
American papers of the East having
q general circulation among farmers,
as well as in local papers, and the
number of industrious, thrifty and
intelligent farmers which would come
to Stevens county and settle during
the coming year will be u surprise to
the most sanguine.
We firmly believe that our county
is now in condition to be greatly ben
Gifted 10y a "boom."
All that is needed to secure settlers
for this community is to make known
the many natural and acquired ad-
vantages and we throw out the above
as y means for accomplish
ing this result, hoping that it will be-
acted upon.

Base Ball.

An enthusiastic meeting of local base
ballists was held last Thursday even
ing and an organization for the present
season was perfected. Scott Stewart
was elected, Captain; Ward Stone,
Treasurer, and E. w. Randall, Secpes
tary. Mr.. Stewart has had years of ex-
perience as captain in other clubs and
is a valuable acquisition to the Morris
team. Tuesday and Friday afternoons

The uniforms will be selected at the
next meeting. If any of the clubs of
surrounding towns think they know
how to play ball and have any
challenges to make, they will find the
Morris club ready to give their prop
ositions careful attention.
