they were 4 week ago. One good crop
will put dakota farmers on their feet
again and they will be ready to return
the kindness shown them by some OF
the eastern states last fall.
Grow Lake is having quite a real
estate boom. several pieces Of property
having changed hands recently. a
ties from the east have bought several
lots of MIR. McGlashan and the Harrl-
son claim north of town has gone into
eastern hands, cheap at 100000. ii
parties want to get land or lots there
cheap, now is the time to do it.
The Board of Trade held a meet
ing Saturday evening and decided to
send C. w. Mcdonald and I. l.. Blank
to Sioux Falls to attend the meeting
of the directors of the Midland Pacific
r.. II. Mr.. Mcdonald returned We'd
nesday and reports MI. Pettigrew and
Mr.. Nix as favorable to u line, and
they promised that the locality should
be looked over before the finallocation
of the road. This looks encouraging
certainly as there is no doubt OF the
practicability of a line through the
Hills.
-Alrena and washington Springs
base ball clubs played u match game
in Washington Springs on memorial
day. 1t IS not to be expected that
boys and young men can realize the
sad memories that the ceremonies OF
this day recall to those who passed
through the trying scenes of the war;
yet it would seem only proper that out
of respect for those who fought to pre-
servet this nation for them, they should
not make this funeral day a festive
occasion. We think some other day
would be more appropriate to play
base ball games than theone on which
the graves Of the nation are solemnly
decorated.
James w. Mcdonald. living south
of town. had somewhat ST a tussle
with the storm Sunday night. He
went out to close the granery door,
when he found such a gale of wind
that he took shelter in the granary.
Hearing the nails pulling out and
boards separating he concluded his
only safety was in seeking shelter
elsewhere and in doing so was blown
into the hay rack with such violence
as to bruise him up considerable. Mr..
Mcdonald thinks atimber struck him
on the hack of the neck as he suffers
considerable pain along the spine,
neck and head. The granery was
blown to pieces. One cloud came from
the south west and another from the
north and they met jus: west Of the
hills opposite the Springs, which was
followed 10y Il whirl wind for a second
or two and then a downpour OF ram,
with some hail.
Pierre is moving right along these
days. New blocks and residences are
being erected on every hand ana the pre-
diction that the city will have a popu-
lation of 10000 within the year is
bound to cometrue.
