Leslie, point on the Cheyenne ri
yer opposite the Cherry Creek Indian
agency, has been until recently one
of the principal trading points i'm the
county. The settlement of the coun-
try has resulted in stores being estab-

this has detracted trade from the

can be depended on except the Indian

Peter Jacobson and the scribe took
a trip down through Lyman county
the fore part of the week and what
is to be seen in that county is rev.
elation to anyone. Along the C. M.
& st. Paul railway are small thrifty
towns substantially built. The reas-
on for the thrift OF these towns is
plainly read in the hundreds of culti-
waited farms which passed our view as
the train sped along. A large per
cent of the prairies OF Lyman county
which few years ago were not con-
sidered fit for anything but pasture,
are now cultivated fields producing
crops Of all kinds. What has been
accomplished in that county will be
equalled in Stanley county because
we have just as good soil and thrift
ty and energetic class of settlers who
are now engaged In opening and sub
