The Northern Pacific is in the
hands Of a receiver. 1t is stated
on authority that the road is prac-
tically insolvent and will not be
able to meet it's fixed charges. The
reason assigned is the big falling of

1t is alleged in the complaint that
the company will not be able to pay
either the interest moneys, sinking

defendant company has filed answer

is therefore an amicable one.

have to give up that business or

the decision of the supreme lodge

which gave those members who are

A Successful Farmer.

1t has always been contended by
the REPORTER that South Dakota
presented more opportunities for a
poor man than any place on earth,
and that Day county was as good,
IL not better, than most any other
in the state. Some men tell you
that farming doesn't pay, that the
merchant makes it all, that interest
eats up everything, and that calami-
ties galore oyertake the farmer.
But we will cite you an instance
where a farmer has made as much,
if not more, than any man we know
Of. Johan Carlson is the man. Mr.
Carlson came to Day county ten
years ago without a dollar and to-
day is worth $40, 900, and at a very
low estimate. A partial enumera-
ton of his possessions consists of
$40 acres of Day county land, with
good buildings, two sets of farm
machinery clear through, and a
sufficient amount of live stock for
his purposes. Mr.. Carlson owes
the insignificant sun of 5000, and
in consequence it can be seen at a
glance that this man has made an
average of 81 1000 for each of the
ten years of his residence.
