can be raised on the bottom lands
this season.
1t rained Friday morning. Those

out of doors between the hours of
eight and ten will be able to bear us
witness. Weather Observer j. HI.

as the fall during that time. Did
you ever stop to think how much
water a two inch rain amounts to?
Well, it figures out just 1857 barrels

day morning did not go through De
Smet until about noon. The track
east of Lake Preston was soft, and
the track across the Vermillion bot,
