The Milwaukee Railroad,

The Chicago Milwaukee ST. Paul Ry has obtained right OF

means another connection extension Persistent
aoat stating that connection to DC the Orient line extended
south through Miller. 1t is logical conclusion.
Some years the Milwaukee obtained right OF way and
made the survey from Orient through Miller Washington
Springs and is beiey that old survey will be used for
north and south line connecting with the road Orient The
established fact of this Washington Springs extension which
to be built this spring. makes equally certain that it will
be connected with the old Orient line south through Hand Co.

Public sales Of stock, goods
and chattels seemsto be the pop.
ular business fad throughout
the state. This is not necessari
ly a closing out to move away
as one would conclude on first
thought. 1t is q method oi
cleaning up, and turning into
cash the accumulations of years
on one place. The writer recol.
lects the same thing occurring IN
Iowa 25 years ago. Many peo-
pie are brought together by ad-
yertisements of public sales, and
then it is learned that other peo-
Pile want things you have and do
not want yourself. The. same
result nearly could be obtained
ffarmers advertised both their
wants and what they have for
sale, just as merchants do.
In fact we have had q recent ex-
perlence in this line. Lewis Kel-
lougb, OF Florence township, ad-
yertised in the PRESS, to run
three issues, Offering for sale his
farm goods, stock. etc. at the
iarm. Before the third issue of
the paper he had closed out all
he had to sell, people coming
rom considerable distances to
buy at private sale. Ifs a man
has anything for sale, or wants
to buy anything, "A brief item in
the newspapers takes his wishes
INTO nearly every home in the
county.
The public sale is also O very
popular and profitable way of
disposing of goods. PEOPLE like

etc. We may refer TO one sale as

result was the disposal OF over

The New Settlers.

What a large number OF people
are moving into South Dakota
at the present time? Coming
from Iowa and Wisconsin the
settlers are but following in the
footsteps OF their fathers who set.
tied up those states.
They got into Iowa in an early
day aud bought land when twas
exceedingly cheap and now the
sons, having seen their fathers
land CROWN value, have. adopted
the same measure and are CO. ming
into South Dakota.
tis noticeable, too, that they
are not coming emptyhanded,
either, for every car has more or
less stock and ffisucient flaming
implements TO start IN to till the
soil. The farming class is grow
inc fast in Numbers in this state
and they are making mighty
good money on theirlnvestmeut.
South Dakota groups in the
pastfew years have demonstrate
ed that with fair conditions the
soil will turn out the products
just as good as any western
state Capital.

had been in conference with Colonel
William III. Phelps and Lieutenant

been the victim of ''mendacious at
tacks upon his character while he
was governor, after he had retired to

tacks." Il submit to the judgment
of fair American citizens that it is an
outrage" he said. Neither accuser
