These blufs make excellent grazing
land and the native timber which In
many places forms belt along the
streams, makes excellent shelter84for4
stock. For stock raising, w~hichisone
of u leading industries, these river
farms are in great demand. For gem
eral farming purposes the waste land
in the country tributary tosScotland Is
almost an unknown quantity, while the
groves which now thrive on nearly
every farm give it an appearance OF
beauty seldom found in q prairie
country. The early settlers in the
town as well as in the country were
fully aware of the great advantages of
having plenty of shade trees. and as
a consequence our shady lawns and
streets are now a source of comfort
as well as of pride to the city.
Another natural advantage pos
|sessed by Scotland is cheap building
material. In the bluffs one mile east
of town are fine quarries OF

The territory within a radius OF i've
or six miles around Scotland postof-
fee was originally largely settled by
Scotch and Canadian people, but a
majority of these have long since dis
posed of their holdings and have been
succeeded by Germans, mostly from
South Russia, who commenced to set
tile in this vicinity in 1873. and for
many years have constituted a ma

years many OF the farmers have
moved into town, having either sold
their farms for enough to keep them

of the farmers has also had&its effect
upon the business men in town. Loss.

The town is located on a slight ele-
walton Of ground, having a natural
slope toward Dawson creek, thus Civ
ing an excellent opportunity for drain
age. The streets are well graded and
even in the wettest seasons of the
year mud IN u principal streets is
almost unknown. The elevation af-
fords a pleasant view of the sur
rounding country, making the city
not only q slightly but a healthful To-
cation.

first taken from the quarry
is SO soft that it can easily be sawed
or cut into perfectly smooth square
blocks, but hardens when exposed to
the sun until it forms excellent build
ing material. Numerous residences
and fine large business blocks in town
are built of this material. The Camp
bell house, a large three-story build
ing, that has stood for over twenty
years. is built of chalk stone, sawed
and planed as, smooth as marble, and
is al firm and handsome as On the
day it was built.
As a shipping point the town is
conveniently located, being on the
main lineshoth to Chicago and to the
Twin cities. Sioux Falls and Sioux
City, two wholesale centers, are each
about ninety miles distant, and having
an outlet in four different directions
it is q convenient distributing point
to surrounding towns.
