At no distant day the Sioux In.
dian reservation, which embraces
over 100000 acres of as fertile q
region as in the state, will in all
probability be opened. That sec
Ion will consequently then witness.
a large influx of homesteaders.
The splendid winter has been
enjoyed and the crop and financial
prospects of this country we're
never better. Lands in this coun-
try, especially this county, have
been advancing quite materially
for the past three months and
many farm sales made, sixty tran
fers being filed for record in two
days, and all look for still greater
advance during the spring and
summer. The Great Northern
railway company expects to take.
in from 1000 to 5000 new settlers.
this coming spring and the North.
ern Pacific and $500" roads will
score a similar success.

The lecture in the Presbyterian
church Wednesday night by Miss
Preston, under the auspices of the
W. @. T. u, was largely attended.
Miss Preston is a fluent, pleasant
I speaker, handles her subject with
evidences of careful study, and
cites facts which are convincing
and indisputable. National pro-
hibition, through political action,
was cited as the one and only
practical method for destroying
the terrible octupus on our homes
and country. Prohibition of the
liquor traffic by and through the
ballot box, must be so aggressive,
SO complete that the selling of
alcoholic beverages will be made
the greatest offence in the annals
of crime.
Thursday afternoon Miss Pres
ton met with the ladies and dis
cussed the W. G. T. U. convention
to be held here next September.
The local white ribboners who feel
that a convention of some two
hundred delegates is quite an
undertaking in a small town like
this, are much gratiied at the in
terest manifested by the ladies
who are not members of the or
ganization. Miss Preston ex-
planned that many white ribboners
throughout the state are anxious
to have the convention held here
in order to get better acquainted
with the place where they are
planning to invest money in state
buildings and in cottages at the
Chautauqua. Coming, as the dele
gates do, from the smallest towns
and remotest districts as we'll as
from the largest town, a good re-
ception to the delegates will be an
immense advertisement to the
Chautauqua as we'll as to Devils
Lake. Simple refreshments of
cake and coffee were served at the
close of Miss Preston's talk.

occasion. After service many who
were present repaired. by invita-

visit will long be remembered with
pleasure.

You know the roots Of some trees

and the widow can beat trees just as a

there was Sally Madson--Jack Mad

When you put weeds on that style, and
