SOME FAMOUS ( G

The siege Of Port Arthur, lasting as
II has already for two months and a
hall, promises to rank with the notable
sieges Of history. II will probably not
prove 50 long rs that Of Paris in 1871
aud certainly not so destructive Of life
rs that Of Sebastopol seventeen years
earlier. But the losses have doubtless
been sufficiently heavy to make it a
memorable event.
The longest siege OF modern times

A Growing Town in a
Prosperous Conn
munity.
A BRIEF SKETCH
OF Her Growth and Development
and of the Men Who Have
Made Her What She Is.

This thriving and energetic little
city was first settled about twenty.
five years ago but up tc few years
ago was little more than a trading
point and railroad station. Three
years ago it was Incorporated and
soon sprang into prominence. Locat'
ed as it is in one of the most favored
spots in Minnesota, surrounded by
lands of inexhaustible fertility, its
vigorous yet conservative growth
cannot be wondered at. The land in
this section is especially adapted to
raising grain of all kinds while all
the products common to the state are
raised in abundance. Land in this
vicinity ranges in value from $25 to
$50 PER acre and is we'll settled with
prosperous farmers. Donnelly has
at present about $50 people ard the
population is steadily increasing, sew
eral new business houses having been
established during the past year.
New buildings have gone up on every
hand and business III every line is in
a dourishing condition. There is a
bank, two lumber yards, three gener-
al merchandise stores, one hardware,
one harness and hardware, feed mill,
three elevators, a good hotel, livery
barn, restaurant and several other
kinds of business. The public school
is of high order and different reli-,
gious denominations are represented.
Everything about this little city has
an air of push and energy about it,
and il is one Of the most active grain
centers in the wheat belt of Minneso-
ia Being the trading point for
considerable radius makes it com
mercial center of Importance and it is
constantly growing as a shipping
point. Few towns of it's size have the
bright outlook for the future that
Donnelly has, and that it is destined
to take rank with many of the older
towns of tits section within few
years cannot be doubted.

Sanborn's famous teas and coffees.
They handle fruits and vegetables in
season and take farm produce in ex-
change, and are agents for the New

bers of the firm are J. ]. Ahmann and
Joseph Waggoner, the latter being
the resident partner and manager of
the business. He is an enterprising.
hustling young business man; at.
tentive to the wants of his customers
and does business on broad prinei-
pies which makes him friends and
customers as we'll.

State Bank of DOnnelly.

No financial institution in this Sec
tin of the state can point to a more
suvc ssfnl record of usefulness, con-
sentative growth and advancement
tn. u the State Bank Of Donnelly, and
the people OF this vicinity daily show
their appreciation of this strong f.
nancial institution by their patronage.
It was established in 1902 with a cap
ital of $4,000 and at present their
bo,ks show surplus and undivided
profits of $1,000 and the sum of $27,
900 to the credit of their depositors.
