LYMAN is NO MORE.
Another Old South Dakota Town is
Now Wiped Or the Map.

Oacoma, Dec. 29.-While new
towns are constantly springing into
existence in South Dakota, old towns
are occasionally being wiped off the
map. The latest of these old towns
TO pass out of existence is the town
of Lyman, situated near here, which
was established in the spring of
1890 and for time promised to be-
come quite an important trade CEN
ter. With the coming of railroad
in Lyman county, new towns grew
up along the new railroad line,
which passed many miles from old
Lyman. At intervals for some
months buildings have been bodily
moved from old Lyman to Kenne-
bee, one of the new railroad towns.
The removal a day or two ago of l..
l.. Armstrong from Lyman to Ken
nebec removed the last inhabitant,
wholly depopulating the old town,
and now nothing but bare prairie re-
mains to mark the site of the once
promising town.

been added with stock equal to
any Of the larger towns where
the farmer may purchase any
grade of lumber from rough
boards to the finest finishing
lumber, while his mail is de-
llvered at his door every day.
All this has been accomplished
by an immense outlay of capital
and labor but the enterprise has
been success from its inception
and the business has grown to
such an extent that it has al
ready outgrown the present
equipment for handlingit. The
writer went on tour of inspec-
ton of the work last Friday. At
the Browns Valley landing we
found a crew of men busy build
ing large tug boat and two
10, 900 bushels barges to handle
the rapidly increasing grain
business Of the firm. these
boats are built after models new
in this country but extensively
used in the shallow streams Of
their carrying capacity
is great compared with their dis
placement. The firm have also
bought land on the Minnesota
side opposite Diamond and an
other crew of men are busy
erecting an elevator, store and
other buildings in fact-a coun-
ter part of Diamond which town
will be known as Dakomin.
To say that this enterprise is.
appreciated by the farmers is
expressing it mildly. The resi-
dents in the vicinity of Diamond
are enthusiastic over the facilities
afforded by the Lindquist Bros.
who in addition to furnishing a
'eady market for produce, fur

Der OF men, and distribute an

PROGRESS AT DIAMOND
Owe OF the Progressive pIaces in pro-pcr,t1 i,,,,

Very few people of Sissetoh
and Roberts county realize, the
magnitude of the business in its
various forms of the Lindquist
Bros. on Lake Traverse whose
various ramifications cover navi-
cation transportation, merchan-
dising, wheat buying, lumber,
fuel and their kindred interests.
Very few people, we say, realize
the magnitude of this business
and what has been accomplished
in the short span of two years
and the immense benefit that
has accrued to the farming COM
munities along Lake Traverse,
by reason of the establishment
|of these industries, is incalcul-
able. If you will take a map of
Roberts County and examine it
you will find that it is bounded
on the east by two immense
bodies of water inland lakes.
Beginning at Ortonville, Big
Stone extends to within a mile
of Browns Valley. A mile and a
half east Of Browns Valley be-
gins Lake Traverse which ex-
tends to within short distance
of White Rock in the extreme
northeastern part of Roberts
county and also Of South Dakota.
Lying to the east of these lakes
is Minnesota and the county is
bounded on the north by North
Dakota. An inspection of the
map will show an immense ter
ritory of fertile, prosperous and
thickly settled country without
railroads or means of transport
ing products from the farm to
market. True, along the Sis
seton branch of the Milwaukee
railroad from Milbank to Sisse-
ton which is with the exception
of a small piece of track from
Twin Brooks to Ortley in the
southwestern part of the county,
the only piece of railroad in
Roberts county, there to be
found thriving towns, markets
and stores, trading centers where
the farmer may dispose of his
products and purchase those
things necessary to make life
agreeable. On the Minnesota
side the railroad from Ortonville
to Fargo parallels the lakes on
the east and is anywhere from
fifteen to thirty miles from the
lakes, and the Great Northern
taps the country at Browns Val
ley and ends there. Some two
years ago Li1ldquist Bros. who
had had many years experience
in merchandising and in steam
boating on Big Stone Lake look
ed over Lake Traverse and saw
the immense possibilities; here
was lake thirty-five miles long
without any boats, surrounded
oy a ricn agricultural country
whose llldDlldnlS were cOmpell-
ed to go from fifteen to thirty
niles to market, and they
decided to occupy the territory.
Accordingly the Great Northern
railroad was interested in the
project to the extent that they
were induced to build spur
track from Browns Valley to the
foot of Lake Traverse, about two
niles. A dock and elevator weret
Quilt here, two steamboats,, the
Diamond, the passenger steamer
and the Queen, a large 75-horse
power freighting boat and a
barge holding 10000 bushels of
grain was put on for the carry

MIR. HARTMAN Is
 REPORTED BETTER
Personal Chaplain Brings Down
 Good News
FROM MOUNTAIN HOME
Mrs. Hartman, iWth Her Son, Attends Church But Refuses To Discuss Condition of Her Husband.
 Visitors Received.

Arden, N. Y, August 29-"Mr. Harri- man is better. You may say that Mrs. Hartman and all of us are very happy over the steady improvement in his health since he came to Arden house. So far as l know, this is the first authorized state ment made by any member of the Harri- man household, and I am most solicitous that 1t should be printed precisely as 1 present it."
 This statement was made this afternoon by the Rev. J. Holmes McGuinness, MT. Harriman's personal chaplain, who spoke with authority after dining with the liar riman family today.
 My position in this matter is very sharply defined,'' said MT. McGuinness. T am MT. Harrimans personal chaplain. He took me up as a mere boy--when was only 15-and 1 feel bound to him by ties of the deepest gratitude. If you think an announcement as positive as l can give you would put an end to sensational ru- mors, I will do what I can to help you, and 1 speak as Christian clergyman all that I can tell you is that MT. Harri- man is better now, and that we are all very happy about it.
 All that was heard hereabout today seemed to chorus the cheerful opinion of the Rev. pr. McGuinness. MT Hartman did not leave his room until after noon, when he went on the veranda for a sun bath.
 C. T. Ford, his superintendent, said when he came down the mountain that he had not seen MT. Hartman today, but that the word at the house was that he had spent a good night and developed no ala a'nting symptoms.
 Mrs. Hartman, accompanied by her son. Roland, and his tutor, drove this morning to St. Johns Episcopal church. Mrs. Hartman was questioned after the service concerning her husbands condi- tion, but she replied with a smile that is a matter I cannot speak of outside of my family
 MT. Hartman was not referred to dur ing the service. but the hymns chosen and the sermon bore a certain fitness for the thought uppermost in the minds of nearly everyone in the congregation When the little whte-clad choir of farmers daughters led the congrega- tion in Nearer, My God, to Thee' tears stood In Mrs Harriman's eyes.
 The Rev Dr. Percy Foster Hall of Catonsville, Md who preached the ser- mon, took as his text: "Corce Unto Me All Ye That Are Weary Laden and I Will Give You Rest.'
 Every one,' he said, must bear a yoke of some kind. With some 1t is am- bition, with some affection. The point is that some yokes fit us; others do not"
 MT. Hall said after the service that the information brought down from Tower Hill today was that MT. Hartman was better.
 MT. Hartman received his first social visitors today. Neighbors who live with ing driVlng distance went up the noun tain by the carriage road in the after noon and returned after an hours call They refused to make any comment on MT. Harrimans appearance.

Officers Are Conscientious In
 Their Efforts
SOME OF EFFECTS OF LAW
Mobile Is Full of Vacant Houses and Two Hotels Close Their Dining Rooms on Account of Loss
 of Tourist Patronage.

Mobile. August 29.-The state of Ala bama has had one week under the opera tion of the Fuller prohibition law, termed the most drastic sumptuary law ever drawn. While opinions as to the benefits derived naturally vary. opinions as to the enforcement of the law agree. It is being enforced with q zeal that has never before characterized the efforts of law of
 hcers. Even in those cities which op- posed the enactment of the law most strenuously, its enforcement is conscienti- ous. By this is not meant that there are no violations. The dockets of the police court prove that whisky Is still being sold, but this is not due to any negligence on the part of the peace of fcers.
 In the larger cities as in Mobile for instance, the effect of the new law Is more marked. The large number of va cant houses, both business and resi- dences, is very apparent. Not only the store rooms are vacant in which the li- quor business was conducted prior to the enactment of the law, but the homes in which employees lived are awaiting new tenants as well. On the other hand, the police report a general exodus of the ' denizens of the tenderloin, which they consider distinct advantage. The flor rent and flor sale" columns of news papers in other large cities indicate a similar conditions.
 The officers charged with the enforce ment of the law have been conscientious and alert. One of the objectionable fea- lures of the measure, as far as the po- lice are concerned, is the giving of pow CT even to enter and search private houses. Lawyers say that damage suits will unquestionably follow efforts on the
 part of shrfvalty to avail themselves of the power thus given. Of course. where the evidence Is strong there can be no redress, but such evidence is difficult to obtain without search. There seems to be an understanding among the officers to enforce the law rigidy in order that the people may have a chance to judge of it's effects before the election next fall when the constitutional prohibition amended will be voted upon.
 That the law has affected hotels Is as- serted and In proof it Is cited that two of Mobiles finest hotels have closed their dinong rooms because of the di- verting of tourist travel to other states.
