The Big Sioux Vail ey.

Canton is about 125 miles south of
| Watertown and the country between
is rich in rural wealth. 1t was our
first ride on the Dakota Central rail
road last week when starting for
WATERFOWL, and if nothing happens
it will not be the last.
The Central runs through the Big
Sioux Valley all the way. The train
is not a flyer but it runs fast enough
for a man not seeking a hospital.
| New towns are s%pringing up and a
noticeable feature is the many fine
elevators and on both sides and one is
forced to admire the christian charact-
er of the people that has made the
valley the richest section Of the state.
| Many fine houses Of worship were
noticed scattered through the county
where no towns were or contemplated.
The homes Of the farmers along the
line indicated prosperity and content
ment, and the large fine church build
ings told of the character of the peo-
pie. At Siani, in Brookings county,
we saw the smiling face of u old
friend j. A. Cooley, as the train was
starting southwark, and his paper,
the Sentinel indicates that he is doing
we'll and all he "a to help boom the
best state in the northwest.
We rode in the observation" end
of a Pullman homeward from Water
town, leaving there at sos. and
arriving at Sioux Falls at IL a. m.
| We were interested in the crop out
look and paid close attention to their
condition. Small grain on the whole
was looking fairly we'll and corn
generally in good condition, but the
evidence of poor seed was visible every
where. One could easily notice the
work Of a good farmer and the work
of the poor farmer was painfully
evident in many places. On the
whole, crops looked mighty good con-
sidering weather conditions and
shortage of moisture. Corn gives
promise of a good crop if it gets help
from above, while the moisture In
the ground is doing its best to meet
the unusual conditions above. The
Central covers 1O3 miles between
Sioux Falls and Watertown and runs
through a country full of rural wealth

The Canton race meet this year will
be the finest ever witnessed in the
Sioux Valley and equal to anything
ever seen in the state. The Canton
races are the last on the circuit,
therefore every horseman will be at
liberty to make the closing event the
fastest OF the season, for money and
records, and we expect to see a new and
fast record for the state posted the
last day. The best purse is $3.50, and
the farmer boys have two C worth
$50 each.
When it comes to real hair raising
excitement the auto races each day,
July 26, 81, %, will eclipse everything.

The Chautauqua Booming.

The tenth annual session of the
Canton Chautauqua began Friday
July l, and the people showed proper in
terest in this splendid entertainment.
The attendance was good and should
continue growing in numbers to the
last night, Sunday July 10. A fine
audience was present last Sunday
evening to enjoy a musical program
and the moving pictures put on by
Campbell & Hamilton Of this city.
The auditorium is nicely decorated
and this part Of the work was done by
Joe Chraft, l.. Chase, Frank Bankson,
Ben and Ernest Olsen. The big build
ing is in fine condition and it is pro-
per that our people should sustain the
efforts of the business men in giving
the public such delightful entertain
ment at home. Last Sunday evening
when the big crowd of 1900 or 1900
people began their homeward trip, 1t
was interesting to watch the scene.
Twenty-Five or thirty autos were bank
ed along the streets, many from the
country and the way the big cars
wheeled into line was something
lively and new.
Next Sunday will be the last day of
the Chautauqua, and a great audience
should be present both afternoon and
evening, in order to close the event
in a blaze of glory. Everybody come;
there is seats for 1000 people, and the
program will be worth your time and
money. Fill up the big auditorium
Sunday afternoon and evening
and the business men Of
Canton will know their efforts have
been appreciated. The program for
Friday and Saturday is interesting
and amusing and you should not fail
to attend. This splendid entertain
ment is for the amusement and in
struction of the people and they
should appreciate what has been
done for them. Turn out everybody
and make it a grand success

Death of Henry Wallace, Sr.

The passing away of Henry Wallace

ten years ago, when Mr.. Wallace
moved to Canton and built a fine
home.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace were born
