UNPRECEDENTED CROWDS AT
THE CORN PALACE.

That Mitchell will have the biggest
attendance at the Corn Palace this
year In the history Of the institution
Is very evident and we need not 20 far
to find the reason. The facts in a
nut shell, are these:
The program as announced is with
out exception the most attractive
ever presented. Pat Conway's Band,
which the Chicago Tribune refers to
as "Highest Of All in Public Favor
and the Lyric Sextet of Chicago, COM
posed Of talented soloists Of wide rep
%utation, will furnish a most excellent
carnival Of music. In the vaudeville
Donald and Carson in "Alex McLean's
Dream and the Robert DeMont
Trio comedy acrobats in, Hotel
Turnover we are informed will be a
complete sensation. These performers
have a national reputation and are
now recognized as top notch attrac-
lions on the Orpheum circuit.
Comparing favOrably with these
are the free street attrac lions Of
which there will be three separate
and distinct acts, every afternoon and
evening.
The Corn Palace is now fast near
ing completion and presents a most
beautiful and inspiring structure.
This years design is strictly Indian
and comments on it's attractivenesss
are exceedingly favorable and abound
with compliments to Mr.. ellis, the
young artist who is supervising the
work.
One becomes possessed OF a sense Of
intense satisfaction after having en-
iOyed an en- tertainment such as this,
and partakes in a at least OF
the enthusiasm that possesses the
people Of Mitchell, which makes the
Corn Palace possible.
The fact that the railroads have
granted a one fare rate for the round
"trip and will run special trains on all
lines makes 1t possible for everyone
to attend at the minimum Of time
and expense.

Miss Marguerite McDermott is no"

be interested In the work.
J. T. Hansen of Chraft & Hansen
returned from the Minnesota fair last
week, and while absent purchased a
large stock Of dry goods and notions
for fall and winter trade. Chraft &
Hansen's page ad in this issue gives
you an idea OF the bargains you will
find at their store.
May Hall COMPLETED the stenog-
raphic course in Mankato, Mimi,

was sent to a good position at $50 a
month. We predict she will soon be
getting 500 a month. Just think of
it! Why don't you take = course in

Joseph Warner and II. D. Fitch of
Hudson, were discussing land values
with the editor last Friday. They
both agreed on one point and that
was that Eden township farms are
worth and would sell today, most of
them. for 800 an acre, and that Gus
! Fowles could get 800 an acre for his
farm as quick as he named that figure
but Gus isn't putting any figures on
that fine farm OF his. II some one
was to offer him Sl25 he might and he
might not accept. Messrs. Warner
and Fitch are Eden township pioneers
and no better men live In the state.
They wear Grand Army buttons and
are happy, healthy, vigorous and
youthful, and are royal friends and
blessed with ample means Brother
Warner carries a splendid photo of
Col. Roosevelt, and thinks no other
nan in this country can measure up
to his standard as a champion OF the
rights Of the people. and hopes to see
him elected president in 1912.

have been away.
AS you see from the heading | an
in the telephone business and although
we are as yet only a small company
the future seems to be rather bright.
Our main office is at White Bluffs, a
town Of about three hundred people
located on the Columbia river forty
miles above k~epnewick.
The district here is entirely devot.
ed to the raising Of fruit by irriga.
tion. Up to the present time the
watering has largely been done by
private pumping plants with the ex.
ception of the Hanford project which
has been using the power Of Priest
Rapids in a small way 20 develop the
country. However on the 18th Of this
month the control of that company
passed into the hands Of the Electric
Bond and Share Co., the largest water
power concern in the United State.
They already have engineers in the
valley at work, planning to develop
the country on a great deal larger
scale.
The Milwaukee railroad is to start
construction on a branch from their
main line at Beverly and running
down the river through this valley.
They have already started the grad
ing above here and we expect to see
the camps established near to us in a
very few days.
AS a fruit raising district this val
ley has it over any in the state. We
have the soil, the climate, the water
and last, what is most essential to an
irrigated country, the drainage. All
kinds of fruit do we'll here, more es-
pecially apples and pears. Alfalfa IS
a sure crop here going five cuttings
this year, a total Of from sever to
nine tons to the acre. The price OF
alfalfa at present in this valley is SIS
per ton In the field.
Besides managing the telephone
company here l am also selling a little
real estate on the side and thought
that an ad in your paper might arouse
some interest in that section with
people who intend coming west.
Will you please quote me prices on
space on monthly rate. Will be
pleased to answer any questions you
may care to ask and would appreciate
it If you would refer me to any one
who intends coming to this part Of
the country.
Hoping to hear from you soo and
with kindest regards, l am,
Yours Truly,
