WILL BUILD ELECTRIC LINE,
Sioux Falls Interurban Company to
Begin Work in Sprinu

Begin Work in Spring.
What may be the first Of a network
of electric lines centering at Sioux
Falls is announced to begin construc-
ton early in the spring.
The Sioux Falls Interurban Electric
Railway company, recently incorpo-
rated, with DR.. r. f. Brown as presi-
dent and George A. Pettigrew secre-
tary, has announced that money neces-
sary to construct the road has been
raised and that work will begin as
soon as the snow is off the ground.
Most of the parties interested in the
line are residents of Sioux Falls.
The route to be taken has not been
definitely fixed, but it is likely that the
first line will go along one side of Wall
Lake and from there to either Bridge
water, Parker or Salem and beyond.
The city terminus, which will eventu-
ally be in the heart of the city, will at
first be established at the junction Of
the Great Northern and Rock Island
tracks.

Some Things to Avoid in the Interest
Of Safety

Some Things to Avoid In the Interest
Of Safety.
Don't allow your chauffeur to drink
liquor while in charge of your car. II
running your own car, avoid rum your
self.
Don't run on the wrong side OF the
road except at narrow, intersecting
streets.
Don't try to see how close you can
run to a pedestrian. Give him even
more room than they require. Many
walkers have heart trouble.
Don't take any kind of curve or
turn at twenty miles an hour; better
go four miles and be able to do It
again.
Don't put oil on your registration
number and throw dust on it. An hon.
est man isn't afraid of Identification.
Don't toot your horn in passing
horses unless in approaching from be-
hind, and then not unless absolutely
necessary. There are still some spir-
tied animals.
Don't blow your Gabriel horn con-
tinually in a city street; little of it is
music; too much is disagreeable, irri-
tating racket.
Don't forget to light your lamps ono
hour before sunset; then you will
have more chance than the wagon
ahead without lights-and be within
the law.
Don't grab at things that concern
the chauffeur, and don't take a pas
senger again that has grabbed once
if you are ever able to go out again.
Don't run away after running down
anybody; you'll stand better chance
if you stay.
Don't ever act like anything but an
intelligent gentleman.-Outing.

Jumped from the poor house to the
landed proprietorship of an old and
fine estate at Dunnekill, Galway, Ire

eighteen months ago, and, being with

earn, he hired out and eventually came
to this county, where he accepted a job
at the county farm, where he did farm
work and ate with the superintendent
and his pauper inmates, two or three
In number. Now a letter has arrived
from the estate attorney telling him to
come home to claim the estate, which
comprises 1000 acres of valuable prop
erty. Mr.. Spratt, while reluctant to
leave this country, is going after the
legacy.

NOT GUILTY or MURDER.
Jury Returns Verdict in Fergus Falls
Case.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Jan. 16.-The
jury in the Grenberg murder case
returned verdict of not guilty after
retirement Of a little more than six
hours. The verdict is believed to be
based on the plea of insanity which
was urged by the defense, as confes-
sions of the accused were introduced
as evidence during the trial Gren-
berg was accused OF having put sold
ering fluid, a mixture of muriatic acid
and zinc, into a glass of whisky which
he poured for Halvord Nyman, on
whose farm he and his wife have been
living for the past two or three years.
Nyman, who was an aged man, died
within a few hours after drinking the
liquor.

A few days ago the board of county
commissioners Of Beadle county passed
resolutions alleging that the prosecu-

of having forged certificates of ac-
knowledgement, uttered forged deeds,
ETC., as shown in six indictments re-
turned against him by the grand jury,
were instituted by political enemies of

the hearing of three of the charges two
resulted in acquittal and the other the

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN
WEST.
The Greatest Wheat Crop Of the Con-

The Greatest Wheat Crop Of the Con-
tinent.
The year that has just closed has
done a great deal towards showing
the possibilities of Western Canada
from an agricultural standpoint. The
wheat crop has run very near to the
00,00O,000 bushel limit that was look
ed upon as too sanguine an estimate
only short time ago, and the area
that has been broken to fall wheat
for the coming harvest will go long
way toward enabling the farmers OF
the West to overlap on the 100,000,OOO
bushel estimate next year. And while
the spring and winter wheat have
been doing SO we'll during the past few
years, the other cereals have been
keeping up with the procession. Rye
and barley have made immense
strides, and peas and flax have been
moving steadily along. Dairying,
also, has been successfully carried on
in the new provinces, and in every
stage the farmer has been striking
it rich" To such an extent has the

outsiders that the rush of our Ameri-
cans to Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which was looked upon as marvellous
last year, bids fair to be largely ex.
ceeded in 1906, and as there are still
millions of acres of free homesteads
available. which the building of the
new railways will render accessible
to the markets, new wheat lands will
be opened ere long. Amongst the
first to avail himself of the opportun-
ity presented will be the American
settler. In large number of Ameri-
can cities Dominion Government
Agents are located, who are able and
willing to give the latest and best In
formation in regard to the new dis
tricts which the railways will open
up, and there will be no abatement OF
the rush to the Canadian prairies dur
ing the coming season. Some time
since a poet in the columns of the
Toronto Star" had the following
stirring lines, which throb of the
Western spirit:
HCIS . oNii III IHC al, tAOlC . -
thrill through the land,
There's a movement toward the
great West;
And the eyes of all men for the mo-
ment are turned
To the country that we love the
best.
For 'tis Canada's day In the worlds
calendar,
And to this merry toast let us sup:
Here's to the land, the young giant
of the North,
Where the prairies are opening up"
They come from the East and they
come from the South,
They come DER the deep rolling
They come, for they know they will
dwell meath a flag
That makes all men equal and free.
Then, once more the toast, and let
every man rise
And cheer e'er he sips from the cup:
Here's to the land, the young giant OF
the North,
Where the prairies are opening up!"
