The train arrived at Woon socket without

found in waiting which conveyed the party
about the place. This is only a kid of a
town, having been born but eight months
ago. Like others of the Dakota cities and
towns we have visited it is built out on the
boundless prairie, and has grown with a
wonderful push and vigor. 1t now has 200
people, about all of whom turned out to
meet us. 1t possesses some very fine build

among its least wonderful things. The

helped entertain the lady guests with several
selections.
