NEW TOWNS
ON 500 EXTENSION
First Auction Sale of Lots
Held at Funston, Orrin
and Egan.

Esmond, n. H.. July 1.-THE first
auction sales of town lots in the six
teen new towns on the Drake-Devils
Lake-Fordville cutoff Of the 500 were
held on July S and 8, in Funston,
Orrin and Egan. the first three towns
commencing at the Drake end of the
line. Funston is in McHenry county
and Orrin and Egan are in Pierce.
The new towns are from six to eight
miles apart.
These towns have large numbers of
German-Russian farmers tributary to
them. men who farm every foot of
the ground and get the biggest crops.
They are industrious INC thrifty and
are making good on the land filed on
by them as homesteads about ten
years ago. The townsite company
has offered them free sites for schools
and churches in each of the new
towns. and many of them purchased
both residence and business lots.
MIR. Senger has had an implement
warehouse on the Orrin townsite for
arrival of the rails. meanwhile haul
ing all his merchandise from Ana
moose. Orrin also has had a black
smith shop some time. General stores
will be put up at once by the pur-
chasers of other lots. The steel is
laid to a point about q mile northeast
of Orrin.
Egan is the nearest of the 500
towns to Rugby. A bank, a general
store and a restaurant are already
doing business adjoining the town
site. and the buildings will at once
be moved to lots bought at the sale.
Silva. Fillmore and Baker will be the
next to hold sales of town lots.
The plan of the toWnsite
which is a subsidiary company of the
500 line. is to offer lots for sale. at a
list price. none being sold for any less
sum-. Where more than one person
applies for a particular lot, the same
is sold at auction, and the surplus
over the company's fixed price is
turned over to officials of the new
town to be used as an Improvement
fund, to grade streets and set out a
park. This is a feature peculiar to
the 500 line and prevents any claim
of partially between rival applicants
for choice corner lots.
Silva. Fillmore, Baker and the
other new towns farther east are in
territory settled by a mixed popula-
ton. Americans. Canadians. etc., and
a smaller percentage of persons of
European birth than the three towns
first above named. r..
Mr.. Campbell of the townsite COM
pany has charge of the sales. and is
following the grade from town to
town in an automobile. camping out
at night and selling town lots during
the day at n or two towns. He will
be busy each day until the 10th, the
last sale being set for the 18th at
Dahlen. in Nelson county. neal the
Fordville end of the line.

Great Sachem Present.
The tribe was very much pleased
and surprised at a meeting when DR..

state of South Dakota. paid a visit.
The doctor is attending the head lodge
meeting of the Sons Of Norway in this
city. he being the chief medical exam
liner. He will also attend the great
council fire which will be burning in
the great hunting ground Of Aberdeen,
S: D.. in the near future. He made a
pleasant address and was given a
warm welcome.
He said he came here just to pay
a friendly visit and to urge upon the
Fargo braves to do their best towards
organizing a great council of the or
der in the state of North Dakota. He
explained that there must be . 500
members in the state in order to Sc
cure a great council charter and
thought that 1t would not be a very
difficult matter to get this done here
and in the surrounding towns and
cities.
On account of the absence of sew
eral of the prominent members, as
we'll as owing to the. fact hat the af-
fairs of the local tribe had been in
bad shape owing to the disappear
