t.. BATTLE RIVER. Oak, April L, 1885
EDfT6R -CHRoNIcLR.-As you have re
peatedly asked for a correspondence
from here and as yet received none !
will ehdeaver to give you a few notes
from this locality.
The farmers are all getting their work
we'll under way and are exerting their
ability TO get in rs large acreage us pos
sible, thinking that there will be a good
market this fall.
Land is being taken very rapidly and
houses going up in every direction.
The greatest obstacle in building is the
scarcity Of lumber. Strangers are ar.
irving every day inquiring for loca-
tions.
The present week has been honorel
with a visit by Miss Alice Richardson
of your place. also by the arrival from
Nebraska Of Miss Emma, the accom-
plisl,cd daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Judge
s. c. Grass, who has come to stay.
An election will be held in this school
township, No. 3, on April 18th, to vote
bonds 10 build four school houses.
There is some excitement here about
disseminating S,rator pos.ofice and re
establishing Battle River, l think the
Custer City and Battle River people
should make application to the govern
ment for a mail route from Custer City
to Battle River as the business of both
places demand better mail facilities.
The people / think wonld sign it gener.
ally here and the sooner We move in the
matter as il generally iakesa good while
to accomplish anything of that kind, the
better.
The Stage station rhanges hands again
on the 10th. w. N. Walker taking pos
session. where he will be ready and
happy to make everyone ut home as
usual. In my next | hope there will be
something Of more interest to give to
the public.
