We understand that August
Nordlund. of Spirit Lake township,
has bought lots in this city and will
move off the farm. We do not know
whether he intends to build next sea
son or not, but he will move in at any
rate. Glad to SCI Mr. Nordlund reach
this conclusion. His has been an in
dustrious life and he is entitled to all
the ease and enjoyment he can get
the balance OF his days.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the De Smet Creamery Co.
will be held January28th. We under
stand a dividend of $500 per share
will be paid at that time. The com
pany owns its splendid plant in this
city free from debt, and it is too bad
that so little Interest is manifested in
the dairy industry in this locality.
We would like to see interest in this
line revived and perhaps something
can be done at this meeting toward
building it up.
We hope the city authorities
will see to il that the now is kept of
the walks, not only in the business
part of the city, but in the residence
portion as well. Property owners
should have a right to clean their own
walks, but if they will not do it with
in a reasonable time, let the city dc
it and make the property owner pay
for it. If we are not mistaken there
is an ordinance covering this subject
unless it be considered that ignoring
it for many years has acted the same
as a repeal.
