eral days in the country last

story home with him. He says
a farmer over in the Beebee-

hogs to a neighboring farmer
who had a big herd Of young
shoats. During the night the
two hogs he had bought bit the
tails off fifty Of the shoats.
This is quite a hog tale.

Through the Railroad Grade

About half the people of this
city went out yesterday to see
the dredge dig its way through
the railroad grade. At $50
the railroad company raised the
bridge so as to give the dredge
a free way through the grade.
In about an hour the dredge
was got underway and COM
menced eating its way through
the embankrnent, watched by
at least five hundred people.
The work went steadily on UNI
til two o'clock when the bridge
was lowered to allow No. 2
from Sioux City to come into
town and the Black Hills No. 3
get out. By ten O'clock last
night, the entire dredge was
through the grade, but the
house boat is still north of the
track and will be sent through
in a few days, after the dredge
has gotten far enough south of
the track to let the house boat
clear the railroad. Everything
went smoothly yesterday, the
men in charge Of the dredge,
keeping the big bucket roofing
up the earth like a piece Of
clock work. There is nothing
like knowing how to do what
you are trying to do. and those
dredge men surely know their
business.

home, / will endeavor to do so
now, tho / am ashamed of my
negligence.
This, at first, is not a first
class looking country to those
who were raised in the east but
it improves on acquaintance.
Some parts of it are rather
billy while in other places a
vast level plain stretches for
miles. l have noticed in trav-
cling that distance does not
seem so far here as in Iowa.
We think nothing of driving
eight miles to town.
This is decidedly a stock
country and great herds may
be seen in most any direction.
Cattle, horses and hogs do es-
pecially we'll. Natural pasture
and good hay are plentiful. In
fact, the whole prairie seems
dotted with hay stacks. Stuart
is one of the principal hay mar
kets of the west. There is
some very good farm land, tho
in some localities it does not
raise as good corn as Iowa land,
yet | believe small grain and
alfalfa do better. We raise all
kinds of vegetables. 1t sur
Iprised me to see the fine pota-
toes grown from what seemed
to be clear sand.
Wild fruits are abundant.
One would scarcely believe that
such large plums and cherries
grew on such small bushes.
Besides plums and sand cher
ries we have choke-cherries,
strawberries, gooseberries, rasp-
berries, buffalo berries, grapes,
and currants. Nursery fruit
does we'll.
The small streams here, which
are numerous, are so clear one
can watch the fish. The rivers,
of course, are too deep, though
not muddy like Iowa streams.
Trout seems the most import
ant fish, at present.
In many places, especially
along the streams, are found
groves of trees, such as oak,
ash, cedar, willow, diamond
willow, cottonwood, walnut and
maple. This is the natural
home of the cottonwood.
Most of the water here is
soft, tho clear, cold and palat-
able, and we need no I've in
washing. The air is pure and
light. From a child l was
bothered with asthma but have
not been bothered with it since
| came here. They say this
location is death to catarrh and
lung trouble. Land is very
cheap here, from $40 to $40
per acre.
We have good schools,
churches, stores and dwellings
and modern improvements, tho
in the north there are quite a
few sod shanties which look
very odd. Quite a bit of cream
is shipped from Stuart. Be-
cause we are in the west we
are not out of civilization but
have the same kind of society
as Iowa.
This would be a good place
for some one to start a laundry
or a notion store. l fear my
letter is far too long so l will
close with best regards to the
home folks.
