disappointment OF Mrs. Caroline j.
Cummings of Huron, Mrs. Emma S. |
Youngs of Sioux Falls, and Mrs. Phi
lena E. Johnston of Highmore, as a
committee of inspection to visit the |
various charitable institutions of the
state, is wise move.
Spokane Falls is over-run with par
ties seeking work. Carpenters are
obliged to sell their tool chests to buy
food; men stand in conspicuous places
on the streets with placards "work
wanted" attached to their coats.
MoRAL:-Dakota is the best place
after all.
WHY'S it that everybody looks so
contented when they retlrn to the
Springs after an absence either long
OF short? Because it is the most
healthful place in the world, and
nature outdid herself when she used
her brush to tint hill and dale, tree-top
and grass blade to bring out all the
beauties OF an enchanting landscape
at washington Springs and surround
ing country. None such to be found
elsewhere, and her citizens are people
of matchless nobility Of character, re-
fnenlent and culture; push and
energy.
The Board of Trade of Washington
Springs met ON Monday evening, of
this week, adopted a Constitution and
Bylaws and effected permanent Or
ganization. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year;
Pres, c. w. Lane; Vice Pres, j. H..
Woodburn; Recording Sec, f. c. Nor
dyke; Corresponding Sec, Il. B. Bios
ser: Treas, II. j. Wallace. An execu-
tive committee of nlne, consisting Of
the above named officers and & r Bate
man, Y. NJ. Matthias, g. II. Stephens,
and j. W. Thomas were also elected.
The Con stitution provides for COM
mittees on Railroads, manufactures,
membership, printing, etc, to be ap-
pointed by the executive committee.
Judging from the attendance at these
meetings, our citizens are taking a
lively interest in the future Of our
town, and it is hoped the coming year
may be one OF encouragement for
them.
The fact that the washington Hills
can be crossed by an easy grade has
been fully established. According to
action taken by our citizens on the 18th
inst. E. T.. Harmston commenced the
survey on Tuesday morning last, from
a point on the Firesteel on Section 2
Viola township. The line runs to the
east Of the Springs, crossing the Camp
bell, Jordan, Bateman, and Blowers
claims, giving good depot grounds
near the Agricultural building. The
:, ascent OF the Hills proper, is COM
menced about one-half mile south OF
II. j. Wallace's buildings, and the
summit is reached on the north side OF
Thorntons gulch. Should arailroad be
built over near the line OF this survey
they will lind no serious obstacles to
. overcome, nor will it be very expen,
sive, there being but three or four ceeE
fills to be made. On Saturday MIR
!, Harmston prepared a map OF the sur,
yey which was exhibited to "The
Board OF Trade" in the evening, II
was then decided to send Mr.. Harm
ston to Sioux Falls on Monday, that he
might i'll person present the advan
, tages of this crossing to the officers OF
the Midland Pacific. After the pre-
liminary sarvey to the Missouri: (vla
Crow Lake)is made, there il little
doubt but that a line will be run tt
Pierre, by way of Washington Spring:
as being an easier route.
