Because of an order from Washing

have drifted out of the northwest
and into other places. A number of
them haev answered teh last roll call,
and the growth and. progress OF the
two states is being pushed forward
largely by younger men, many of
whom have come to the northwest
since the division of the old territory
of Dakota.
Indeed, the growth of the city of
Aberdeen itself is typical of the great
change that has come to the north
west. The Milwaukee road has
made growing and progressive city
of what was, comparatively few
years ago a frontier town, struggling
for existence and battling against
odds. Land in the vicinity of the
city that went begging comparatively
a few years ago commands high
price. Property in the city is ad-
vancing rapidly in value. Five and

created. Aberdeen is one of the
coming" cities in South Dakota, and
it is near enough to North Dakota
to have peculiar interest for many
residents of this state.
The News of Aberdeen, in speak
ing of the coming celebration, says:
The announcement of the complete
program for Dakota Homecoming
week shows fully that Aberdeen is
concerning the welcome to be extend
ed to Dakotans who visit the Hub
city on that day. No public gather
ing ever held in either state will COM
pare in list of amusements, in num-
Der and ability of speakers, in the
general richness of the program, with
that which Aberdeen will offer to her
guests next week. The DakOtan who
fails to attend the Homecoming will
have reason to regret it. The Dako-
tan who does attend, at whatever
sacrifice of time, will always have
reason to be pleased with himself
for so doing. Again, the News wishes
to impress upon the residents of the
two states, that the celebration is
not an Aberdeen affair. It is for
the two Dakotas, commemoration
of the twentieth anniversary of the
admission of the two states to state
hood and a celebration Of the great
prosperity that has come to the
states since then. Aberdeen is pre-
pared to royaelly entertain every per.
son who visits the city during the
Homecoming celebration, and none
can afford to miss.
