TELEPHONE SYSTEM
New System win be Established in
Judith Gap BY May 18th.

Ju0lIu Jap ~ may IJ1.
\ letter from f.. r. Barron Mt Fes-
sender, \. d., gives the following ell
cOuraging news concerning the tele-
phone system soon to be established
in Judith Gap:
Dear Mr.. Small: \ short time ago
my brother was at Judith Gap looking
over the telephone proposition there.
but since that suppose you have
heard nothing as to what we have been
doing
''Wehave ordered the best mat terial.
telephone and apparatus that we could
buy, and this material will be shipped
us soon as possible. have resigned
my position here and will be in Judith
Gap about May the first to look after
the construction work and installing.
If material is received in good season
expect to have the exchange in work
ing order by May 18th, and there is no
doubt about our receiving the mater
ial in time to complete the exchange
by May 3otl.'
The promoters Of this new exchange
are young men of business experience
and sufficient capital to push the ell
terprise to success, and they will be
given all the encouragement possible
by the citizens of Judith Gap.
How the Country Is Settling Up
The people of Judith Gap have no
idea of the way the government land
has been taken by homesteaders with
in a radius of many miles Of Judith
Gap. For instance: Township :, range
IL, lying few miles south of Hedges
and not far from Cruise OH the Mil
waukee road. last October had not a
single settler in it. \ drive through
that section of the country recently,
the writer was surprised to find all the
land taken up and highly improved so
far rs buildings are concerned. Many
Of the settlers have brought their
farming outfit with them and are now
busy turning up the rich sod prepara-
tory to planting spring grains or get
ting the soil ready for crop of winter
wheat. They are fine class of set
tiers, too, who come to make a home
and will succeed. Notably among the
early settlers in this township are the
Geer boys of South Dakota, and Tom
Cummings Of West Superior. Mr..
Cummings is boiler maker by trade
and gave up life job of $50 II month
to take mp the occupation of farmer.
He has nice home OH fine quarter
section, and is busy putting up bal
chicken coops and other buildings.
Mrs. Cummings and her mother are
delighted with the country, the moth
er having 4 homestead near her sOn-
in-law's, and Mr.. Cummings will see
to it that both claims are put under
cultivation. They are very hospitable
people, and are not sorry that they
have come west to make Il home for
themselves. 1t isn't often you will
find piano in a h0mesteader' shack,
and Haveland china on the table.
That's what you will find at Cum
mings'.
Owing to the high bluffs on the
south, trade of this township will go
to Hedges and Judith Cap This is
not the only township that has been
peopled since last fall with energetic,
and intelligent people. They have
come with determination to wrest
from the virgin soil her hidden treas
ures, and this whole country will soon
becovered with waving grain that will
bring untold wealth to these pioneers,
these trail blazers to a higher and bet
ter civilization.
