The ditch in Spirit Lake town
ship, known as the Poppen ditch, was

Fishing for bullheads at Lake

Jas. A. Fife has the contract for

&C. II. Tinkham at the last mo.
ment decided TO go to Deadwood to
attend the sess on of the [. O. O. F.
grand lodge. He went at the request
of the Lake Preston lodge to help
present their claims for the location
of the Odd Fellows Home at that
place. Lake Preston is making a
good offer, so acres of land near the
city and S5,000.O0 in cash, as we have
been informed. That town would be
a good location for the home and the
De Smet brethren would like to see
the neighbor lodge successful in their
endeavor.
Among the many improvements
at the state fair grounds at Huron
the new stock pavilion promises to
be the greatest improvement TO come

grounds. In it will be a ring where
animals may be put on exhibition,
which is to be surrounded by an am
phitheatre with a seating capacity of
1900. This structure will be situated
in the neighborhood of the presen:
cattle and horse barns. The new
woman's building will be situated
east of the Beadle county building.

graduate since the addition of the
twelfth year to the course of study.
The eleventh grade last year were
given the privilege OF either gradual
ing at that time under the course of
of study then existing, or continuing
through the twelfth year. The greater
number graduated at that time, which
accounts for the small number in the
graduating class this year.
