KNIGHTS IN FEATHERS.

India is peculiarly rich in birds
Of character. 1t is the happy hunt
ing ground of that unique fowl, Cor
vus splendens-the splendid crow
splendid in sagacity, resources and
adaptiveness, boldness, cunning and
depravity-a veritable Machiavclli
among birds. l might almost say
a super-bird. The king crow (Di-
crurus ater) is another creature
which can be described only by SUI
perlatives. He is the Black Prince
of the bird kingdom-the embodi-
ment of pluck. The thing in feath-
crs of which he is afraid has yet to
be evolved. Like the medieval
knight, he goes about seeking those
upon whom he can perform some
small feat of arms. In certain parts
of India he is known as the kctwal
the official who to many stands
forth as the embodiment of the
mighty majesty of the British raj

Timber Lake Will Incorpo
rate.

At the meeting of the county
commissioners on Tuesday a pc
tition was presented to them show
ing the proper number of sigma
lures, plat, etc., and asking that a
day be fixed for a vote upon the
matter of Incorporation. At this
writing we undertand that date
has not been fixed upon but it wilt
no doubt be as soon as the ten
days notice required by law can
be given. If the vote is for in
corporation, we don't suppose there
will be single vote cast against
the proposition, then an election
will be called for the purpose of
electing officers which will be done
as soon as another ten days notice
thereof can be given.

"A BUSY SEASON
ALREADY COMMENCED
STRANGERS COME TO OUR TOWN EVERY
DAY...BU.LDING OPERATIONS HAVE
ALREADY STARTED.

A business man the other day
succinctly stated the situation here
with respect to the business outlook
when he said: Two months ago
the comparatively few strangers
who came to town looking for a
business location would come in
and ask you if you really thought
Timber Lake would make as good
town as many here seemed to
think and ask other questions in
dicating that they were undecided
as to what might be the future i'm
portance Of the town. Now the
stranger simply asks if you know
of any property or established bust
ness for sale. They have ceased to
express any doubt as to what our
town will amount to within the
next year"
The above quotation expresses
the matter so we'll that it is need
less for us to enlarge upon the mat
ter. We simply state as a matter
worthy to be chronicled in a news
paper that during the last week our
town was visited by no less than
dozen men of means from other
parts of the state and neighboring
states and that some of them are
to return and cast their fortunes
with ours while none departed be-
cause they were discouraged with
the prospect. We simply wish to
say to the man who will have time
to make the observation: Just
watch the town that does things,
do things"

Sexton Gets Telephone Fran
chiSe.

At the meeting of the county
commissioners on Tuesday, the
matter Of granting a telephone
franchise was taken up again and
disposed of. Mr.. Wright of Wes-
sington, S. D., and F. E. Sexton,
of Mcintosh, have been after the
franchise for some time but owing
to the absence of one commission
er the matter was not settled until
Tuesday.
Mr.. Sexton comes highly re-
commended. He is practical tel
ephone man and intends to put in
copper system. His material
will be here in a short time and
we will probably have long dis
tance service by the time the land
office is moved here.
