CoLoNIsTs FOR sTUTsMAN
streator, Ill, Men Arrive to Look ove1
Lands

JAMESTOWN, N. D.-A party of
landseekers from Streator, ILL.,, arrived
this week and left today with the in
tention of making a trip to the south
western part of the county. The lands
they are inspecting are about the best
in that. part Of the county and if the
colony is established, it will mean much
toward the rapid settlement Of that part
of the country.
Since prairie fires have been kept
down west of the James river, the
growth of grass has become a heavy
mat where It was formerly burned off.
With more extensive cultivation Of the
land, added to the moisture-holding
grass, farming operations have been SO
successful and profitable in the western
part of the county that rapid jump
in price Of lands has been seen. A few
years ago no one wanted to farm in
that part Of the county and lands were
sold for song. Now they are held
about as high as any good land in any
part of the county.
The revival meetings conducted by
DR.. Pratt and Professor Martin con-
tinue every afternoon and evening at
the armory. The audiences are large
and much discussion has been stirred up.

REDWOOD FALLS FRANCHISE
Twin City Telephone Company After
It-Council at Sea.

REDWOOD FALLS, MINI. - Much
feeling is being engendered over the
attempt Of the Twin City Telephone
company to secure franchise to enter
this city. The company made applica-
ton for only the right to locate one
long distance booth here, but several
officers Of the Redwood County Rural
Telephone company, who are in sympa-
thy with the Twin City project, have
asked that the number Of phones per-
mitted be extended to five SO they can
use the long distance service.
The project is opposed by the West
ern Minnesota company, which has the
big exchange here, and by several
local men who regard the request Of
the Twin City as only preliminary to
an application for franchise to put
in an exchange. The council is unde-
cided as to what action to take.
The council has granted the contract
for constructing all of the cement
crosswalks in the city, about 1000
lineal feet altogether, to the Man
kato Sidewalk company.
