Jens Finsness and wife are spending
the week with friends in our city. Mr.
Finsness sold the John Fish farm this
spring for $4,000 and went to Chippew
county and purchased fine farm of 240
acres, where he now resides.
Ed Simonson, a local tobacco dealer,
has purchased Ed Erickson's beautiful
residence adjoining the city limits. The

Miss Astrid Larson, young Norwe-
gian girl who came here last July and
who is employed at the home of G Chris
Jensen, the jeweler, received telegram
from the Cunard Steamship Co.'S office
in Boston, informing her that her young
er sister, Sigrid, who is on her way here,
was detained at that port upon her ar
rival there Thursday, presumably be-
cause she was a minor, without being
able to furnish the authorities proof that
any one would be responsible for her
maintenance until she became of age or
was married. The telegram requested
the sister to furnish the required Aft
davit. which very likely will be sent In
the hope of avoiding the unpleasant de-
tention at Boston. the young miss ap
parently must have attempted ruse to-
gether with a fellow traveller from III
saker, one Peter Peterson, also bound
for Stoughton, by representing herself
to the authorities as his fiance, as the
telegram refers to him. The ruse was
unsuccessful. however, but the affidavit
from her sister will release her from her
dilemma.

A team hitched to double buggy in
which were four persons going to church

neighborhood of DR. Hulls residence
Sunday morning. The occupants of the
rig were Mr. and Mrs Ed Just and boy

have proven serious, it was not without

Albert Dixon and wife returned on
Thursday from their brief trip to Texas
points, and as far as they viewed the

The many old time friends OF d G

body was taken to the old home in

1t is an almost conclusive fact that
the owners of realty along the marshy
lands of Porter, Union and Center are
determined to have it reclaimed. and
made tillable ere another year rolls
around. The land in question it is pro-
posed to drain and redeem by drain
age ditch, which will have it's head IN
the center OF section thirty six town of
Unior, on what is known as the Berk-
hart and Elmer land From this start
ing point the ditch will run east by
south to the north line of section six
town Of Center, thence south one and
one-half miles, thence east and south
east to east line OF Center, thence east
three fourths of mile to the town of
GAINESVILLE where it will empty into Rock
river. The ditch will be four feet wide
at bottom, eight feet wide at the top,
from seven to eight and one-half feet
deep, and in the entire distance of
twelve and one-half miles a fall of
twenty-eight feet will be made. With
ditch of this width, depth and fall, it is
thought by experts in this line of work,
sufficient to drain large acreage of
what is now waste land devoted chiefly
to the raising of bullfrogs, muskrats and
boys. The retaining of this land,
which at present is valued at from forty
value fifty, If not more, per cent. For
many kinds of crops, the richness OF the
soil will make rich returns to the owners.
