Mr.. Watson's Suggestion.

E. T. Watson has recently visited
those points in Minnesota and Dakota
lying between Wilmar and Sioux
Falls, and during the winter has Wis
tied many places in Southern Mime
sofa and South Dakota. After care
fully observing all the localities
visited by him, Mr.. Watson is pro-
nounced in the opinion that Stevens
county offers greater opportunities for
progressive farmer than any of them.
For cheap lands, productive soil, mar
ket and transportation facilities, social,
educational and religious privileges,
etc. ad infnitum, Stevens county
stands clearly in foremost place.
Yetyin spite of all these advantages,
Mr.. Watson says it is a fact that our
people are doing less in advertising
and are making slower progress in
securing new settlers than in almost
any other locality that might be
named. At Howard, S. D., neat fold
ers, showing the advantages of Miner
county, are distributed on all trains;
at Sioux City and numerous other
points, large quantities of reading
matter are being prepared for distri-
button at the Worlds Fair, and in
almost every place visited by him
something was being done to attract
the attention of the outside world.
too, were apparent. Pur-
chasers for land were numerous, and
prices ranged high. A study of this
subject farther, Mr.. Watson thinks, |
would show to any one why we have |
50 much vacant land, and why land |
values are SO low. In closing his
with us, he made the re-
mark that something ought to be |
lone" and in this remark the TRIBUNE
heartily concurs. Can not the bust
less men and leading farmers "get
ogether" and provide ways and means
or advertising the many advantages
# the county. New settlers can be
occurred if the proper efforts are made,
md every new settler means less vacant
and, ightened burdens of taxation,
more customers for business men, an
increased value for real estate, and in
reased development in every way.
Will somebody start the ball rolling,
nd then will everybody lend help
ng hand? We hope that every reader
f the TRIBUNE will think this matter

Don't forget Arbor Day. Plant
trees in the front yard, along the road
and in the fields. Plant trees every
where. In this county we can not
have too many of them. Trees are
needed here for every purpose to
which they can in any way be adapt
ed, They are needed for protection
from winds, to hold moisture, to mod
ify our severe climate, for fuel, and to
beautify the country as well. Nothing
will take away that monotonous prai
RE aspect and make our county look
like pleasant abode for civilized man
as fully and as quickly as an uprising
of trees on every hand. Then remem-
Der Arbor Day. Remember the day
to keep it industriously. And if, in
advertantly, you observe two or three
days as Arbor Day, so much the
better.

The Summer School.

Some time ago the State Depart
ment issued circulars in regard to
summer schools, locating one at Nor
ris, this county. Now the order of
things has been changed, and, as in
politics, Stevens must give way to the
superior claims of Grant county. The
summer school for the three counties
is to be held at Herman. This should
not make any material difference to
those who wish to take advantage of
the school. Stevens county had it
last year, and of course if we could
have had it this year again, without
trespassing on the rights of others, it
would be well.
The ladies of Herman have assured
accommodations to all who come, and
| have promises that Stevens county
teachers shall be we'll taken care of.
| would urge upon Stevens county
teachers to attend the whole term, for
various reasons. The majority need
the review-the work will be taken up
from year to year-and when course
of the common school subjects has
been completed, certificates or diplo-
mas will be issued by the State De
partment, showing that such has been
done. This in itself will go far as a
for future engage
ments. We want to send a larger
delegation than any of the other
counties sent to us year ago, for we
are alive to the benefits to be derived,
let the location be where it may.

Messrs. Helgeson & Wilcox, our
lumber dealers, have made new and
important move that will make a
change in the firm name, add addi-
tional capital to, and be the means of
extending their already extensive
business. Mr.. l.. E. Pearce has pur-
chased an interest in the firm and his
son, James L., will take an active in
terest in the new concern of Helgeson,
Pearce & Co. This change is an i'm
portant one to trade tributary to
Morris, as it puts additional capital
and experienced acquaintance into an
already strong firm, and assures us of
a lumber market that will be second
to none in this part Of the state. We
are always glad to record the accession
of new capital invested in Morris bus
mess enterprises, and bespeak for the
new firm a liberal and continued pat
ronage.

On Friday last about fifty ladies
met at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Honse to hear the address given
by Miss Abrams, missionary to Bonn
bay, India. It being the occasion of
the regular missionary tea given by
the ". F. M. S. of the Methodist
church, the meeting was called at 2:3O
in order to be ready for an early sup
per, which was served in fine shape,
and in ample time for the address of
the evening. A goodly number came
at tea-time to take the place of those
who we're obliged to forego the pleas
ure of listening to the evenings talk.
Miss Abrams is a sweet gracious lady
and convinced those who listened to
her that her heart was wholly given
to the work.
The Eastern costume was very be-
coming to her face and figure, and
this, together with many specimens of
Eastern art and ornament shown dur
ing her talk, made it doubly interest
ing.
Miss Abrams returns to her work in
Bombay early in autumn, and we
know she will bear with her the best
wishes and highest esteem of the
Morris people whom she SO delight
fully entertained, and we feel that we
shall all be more willing to serve in
the sweet work of the Master for hav-
ing met with this devoted worker in
the missionary field. ***
