drainage. Water can be procured at
reasonable depth, and there is every
reason to believe that the Milwaukee
road expects to make Murdo the divis-
ion point west of the Missouri river.
This is one Of the reasons that the
town is growing at such rate, and
the reason that lumber has been
hauled from Presho, forty miles away
in order to be ready when the road
makes this its stopping place.
There is much speculation as to
whether the road will go to Rapid City
this fall, and those who are in position
to know declare that it will be impos-
sible for it to make the speed prom
Used, because for fifty miles between
here and the Bad Lands there has not
been a mile graded, and the line goes
through a heavy grade district, max

Living in Tents.
There are all sorts of people here,
and all sorts of business. Men are
here with their families in tents. and
the women and children look upon it
as one continual picnic. Many of the
business men are planning to bring on
their families from the East and make
their homes in canvas covers until
cold weather sets in, or until the lum-
Der can be laid down at more reasona-
BILE prices than are now possible, when
the freighting has to be done forty
miles by team.
1t can be safely asserted that before
SNOW flies Murdo will be town of 600
or 700 inhabitants, with city govern
ment, schools and all the conveniences
of cities 100 years old in the far East.
The lands are being rapidly settled
with actual settlers, and the farm ma
chinery business is one of the most
profitable, as breaking is being
pushed in all parts of the country
Murdo will be the county seat of the
new county to be created Of the west
half Of the large county Of Lyman.
