Miss Katherine Meuer, who spett
several weeks at the /. j. Miller
home, departed Sunday evening
for her home at Madison, Wis. Miss
Meuer likes De Smet and its people
and declares she will come again
next year if possible. The young
lady has made many friends in De
Smet who hope she can spend next
summer here.
DIR. r. o. Broadway returned
Saturday from a trip to Colorado
where he determined to locate and
made what he supposed was a deal
for a hospital, but which later fell
through. He has sold his interest
in the practice here to DR.. Dyar and
he will now look for another location.
Mr.. Broadway prefers Colorado as
in that climate he has better he ltb.
We hope that he will find a good
location.
Geo. West, who bought the n.
0. Johnson farm south of this city,
is one of those who think South
Dakota is all right. 1t will be re
membered that George came here a
few years ago and bought a farm
east of this city, He had an oppor
tunity to sell out at a good advance
and did so. He then went to Mis-
souri,, bought a farm, remained two
years, and was mighty glad to sell
o.
out and get back to this state finan-
ciallv even. He has improved the
farm recently purchased by putting
up a good barn, putting down a
good deep well, and otherwise max
ing it convenient. From what he
says now we don't think George
could be driven away with a club.
We are glad of it for George is a first
class man for the community.
Perry Simons returned on Tues.
day evening from his trip to the
Pacific coast country. He visited
Washington, Oregon, and California
while west and looked over a good
deal of country with a view to pur.
chase, but came home without in
vesting. Mr. Simons was surprised
at the amount of land in the valley
| of California that has once been cul-
tivated and since allowed to go
back. He ascribed a good deal Of
this to the scarcity of water in the
irrigated districts, there not being
enough water brought by the bitches
to supply all the land that has been
ditched, and a good deal of land
that has been supplied with sluices
and irrigating bitches has. been
abandoned. Mr.. Simons intends to
go down to Kansas to spend the
winter. Arlington Sun.
The iron industry is looked up
on in financial circles as the indi-
Gator of trade conditions in the com
merciai centers, but to the agficui-
tural regions the volume of business
transacted by the different lines Of
railroad is the indication of success
or failure for the current season.
The business of the railroads
of the Northwest is greater at this
time of the year than ever before
in its history. Take for in
stance the G.. & N. w. The manage
ment has "set up all brakemen and
firemen, who have had sufficient ex-
perience to act as conductors and
engineers, and still there are not
enough. Several engine crews have
been borrowed from Wisconsin
| divisions. Il has also been found
necessary to increase the motive
power and large engines have been
| sent to this state from the Wisconsin
aud wherever one could be spared.
Our correspondent from the
East End last week mentioned the
death of Mrs. John Weddell. In
the last issue of the Hetland New
Era we find the following item
which gives further particulars: The
acquaintances of Mrs. John Weddell
