LennoX Independent: CANTON has
a big railroad scheme on hand. by
which it proposes to burst the Duluth
bubble. leave Sioux Falls a strug-
Cling suburb and entirely annihilate
Lennox, while YanlSton will be left en-
tirely in the cold BY hard work and
putting forth all her resources they
have succeeded in pooling their entire
capital, two buttons and Shingle
nail) They propose to tap the Will
mar and Sioux Falls road at Brandon.
and thus by one bold stroke forever
destroy Sioux Falls business prospects.
1t is not fair that CANTON should act
so mean, especially after Sioux Falls
has puckered up her mouth for full
tledged spring boom; or after spending
thousands of dollars in advertising its
advantages and prospects, to empty it's
palatial business blocks and draw its
inhabitants to CANTON, would never be
forgiven by the Sioux Falls people.
After tapping the road at Brandon,
CANTON will have it come to its very
doors, Where the road will be broken off
and run into the ground in order to
make 1t a permanent terminus. AT
CANTON the road must stop in order to
establish a division; must have large
car shops, round houses, etc., and all at
the expense OF Sioux Falls. We don't
believe that people should act so mean
simply because they have chance, and
If Sioux Falls gets over the crippling
effect of the cutoff, it will be bound
to pay CANTON in its own coir. In
the meantime the wideawake rustlers
are tranStcting their business on a
much larger scale than ever, unaware
Of the impending destruction and deS-
olation that is hanging over them.
They will undoubtedly laugh to scorn
the infantile efforts of CANTON, and
well they may.
DELAWARE.

There Is some talk of trying to get a
pOstOfiice established at what is known
as Owens corner. The place is some
five or six miles from Beresford and on
the CANTON route An Office is needed
very much.
In looking over the list of teachers in
attendance at the institute it appears
that many who intend to teach this
summer are noticeable by their absence.
1t is to be hoped that Superintendent
Isham will adhere to what was under
stood to be his plan, of requiring all
teachers to attend the institute or not
try to teach. If a person has not time
to learn his business thoroughly, ex-
perience has taught us that time is
never wanting in which to draw pay
for services which are improperly and
imperfectly rendered. Let every friend
of education endorse promptly the ac-
ton of our worthy superintendent.
BEREsFORD.
