sent from Washington to take charge
Of the construction. In the meantime
the size of the dock was increased un-
til it was 72S feet long and 12O feet

DANISH COLONY

The Danish Colony to be esta-
blished south of Culbertson, is now
passing through the publicity stage
with every indication OF early frui-
tion. The land committee OF the
United Danish Lutheran Church,
headed by Rev. Kelsig, of Ken
mare, N. D., have personally in
vestigated the lands proposed to
be colonized. and have given the
proposition their unqualified in
dorsement. The Danskesen, a
DANISH newspaper OF wide circula'
ton. has published the report oi
the land committee IN detail, and
inquiries are being received daily
concerning the conditions under
which the lands may be settled.
Many natural advantages are Il
be had in the district to be settled
not the least OF which Is fuel. Lig
mite coal abounds throughout th'
whole district, and is easily OBJ
tanned. Timber for building pur
poses can be had for the cutting
on the vacant lands along the Mis-
souri River bottoms. and good wei
water has been struck at reasona
BILE depths.
To be q success, the colonization
movement should be rushed for tn
