Co.-Articles Filed.

An Associated Press dispatch states
that articles OF incorporation for
railroad which is proposed to build
through South Dakota had been filed
at Pierre. The dispatch is as fol-
lows
1.-THE Interstate Railroad company
with headquarters at Canton, s. D.,

ital is S5, 100000.
"It is proposed to build a line from
Duluth, Mimi, to Galveston, Texas.
A South Dakota branch is to run up
Sioux Valley into North Dakota with
a branch from Brookings to the Mis-
souHi river near the North aad South
Dakota state line"
This is a company OF which e. Z.

ident OF the Gettysburg road is the
president of the new company and in
it are several Canton men, among
whom are Henry Cooper, George Oh.

diately.

BEAUTlFY SCHOOL GROUNDS.
The Grounds Of Country Schools Made
Attractive.

In some countries there is a pretty
practice OF beautifying school grounds
in the country as well as in the cities.
The school children are encouraged to
plant trees and after school hours OF
at certain houfs once or twice each
week they, with their teachers, under
instruction rendered by practical
horticulturist or artist gardener, work
about the school grounds.
This practice is 80 extensive in
Sweden that during the past season
900, 900 trees were planted about the
school houses. just think for mo-
ment what vast number OF trees
would soon be growing in BrOokings
county were this valuable feature es.
tablished by all the country schools.
The REGISTER suggests that the
school teachers OF the county make
united effort along this lils and en-
deavor 10 get the school boards of the
different townships to appropriate a
certain amount of money each year
for purchasing trees and preparing the
grounds so that both floral and tree
culture may be carried on success
fully. We believe the money so ap-
propriated could not be better ex-
pended and in few years every school
house in the country might be sur
rounded Dy an attractive grove and
the floral gardening would be a de-
lightful pasUime for both teacher and
pupil 1t might be necessary to dig
wells and erect windmills and reser-
voirs, but this could be done at mod.
crate cost and the good that would
result would repav the OUTLAY.
