Many of the prospective home
steaders who will file on claims in
Mellette county, South Dakota,
have been inquiring as to whether
or not the bridge across White
river, south of Murdo, S. D., has
been completed. The bridge is
completed and has been ready for
crossing since February 9th. The
bridge was constructed at q cost
of a little over $12, 900 which cost
was paid jointly by Lyman and
Mellette counties, the Milwaukee
railroad company and the Murdo
Commercial club.
1t is on the main road from
Murdo to White River and Wood,
the two towns in Mellette county.

residence of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Hayes was on fire. He quickly
gave the alarm and aroused them
and the fire was extinguished be-
fore it was communicated to other
buildings. but the interior of the
structure was burned out and
nearly all the household furniture,
including fine piano, was ruined.

mystery, it being probable that
mice had carried matches into the
walls, as the start seems to have
come from some such source.

Iowa Falls, Iowa, the other day.
They had big gathering on the
public square, and in that great
crowd, was all the people in town,
and all the people in the country
round about. The band played
soul-stirring music and speeches
were made. Then big bonfire
was made and in the presence of
those cheering thousands, every
mail order catalogue in the coun-
try was burned. The people over
a. Iowa Falls have concluded it is
wiser to build up their own town

money away to the big cities to
make millionaires and paupers.
