Flandreau is the seat of the county

about 1,500. 1t is considered one OF

are several religious denominations
represented in it's churches. The
homes are pretty, comfortable and at.
tractive, and city building lots are to
be purchased at prices which place
them within the reach of ambitious
young men who wish to own their
homes while establishing themselves
in business. Flandreau offers excel
lent opportunities for investment of
capital in either wholesale or retail
lines, for the demand for merchandise
of all kinds is steadily growing
throughout the state, and the large
cities of the eastern counties will ma
turally become the distributing cen
ters for the country districts.
One of the schools which the gov
eminent maintains for the higher
education Of the Indians is located at
Flandreau.
Country Well Watered.
Moody county is watered by numer-
Gus small tributary streams of the
Sioux river. which flows from north
to south, dividing it into almost equal
portions. The government figures,
taken at Flandreau, for the rainfall
in this portion of the valley from
April to August, 1905, inclusive, give
2269 inches, the highest amount
reached in this part Of the state.
Crops are excellent throughout the
county, cattle raising is carried on
to considerable extent, and dairy
ing yields fine returns. At the annual
meeting of the Flandreau Cooperative
creamery, held last month, the re-
ports showed that the business was
in irst-class financial condition.
The creamery, which is established at
Egan, also had very prosperous year
during 1906. The aggregate amount
of cream purchased was 259,233
pounds, for which the farmers re-
ceived $15,343.
Prosperity is general throughout the
county, and the farm houses are COM
Portable and often supplied with many
of the modern equipments to tighten
the labor of the housewife. There
are extensive lines Of rural free de-
livery of mail which keeps those who
live on farms distant from the towns
in touch with the outside world.
