Nerdiare is GROWING.

Nerdigro Neb., Jan. e. Special to
/ The News NCrdigre, the beautiful
village ;itty-four miles north of Nor
folk, ON the Winner branch of the
Northwestern railway, can look back
with pride to the many improvements
made within its borders during the
year just drawing to a close. 4 beau
tiful twC-StOry bank building 2JX5O is
the most imposing. The bank is
known as the Nebraska State bank
and all of the stock but Il small fraC-
ton is owned by members of the
Schreicr family. Emil SChreier. a
prominent farmer, is vice president.
Vincent Schrcer. a land owner and
storekeeper of Knoxville, is a director
and a. v Kouba. who was formerly
cashier of the Knox County bank, is
the cashier of the new bank. The
authorized capital is $4,000. The
next building of importance is the
brick office building recently com
pleted for DR.. +. IL. KuCcra. This
building is 2jX5O and has five large
rooms; it is elegantly furnished and
it is Il model of neatness throughout.
The doctor was elected coroner at
the recent election. A butter and
cheese factory was established here
during the summer by local men at
cost of $4,000. The products of
this establishment have been in such
demand that it is impossible to keep
up with the orders. 1t will be i'm
possible to enumerate the number of
elegant residences which have been
constructed during the year, but we
must not fail to mention the homes
built by Joseph Kurka, T. a. Tikalsky
Ctwo), Frank Il. Pavlik. Frank Jir-
Ousek, August Psikil, John Beran.
Henry Forman J. l.. Hawk, Miss Pa
velka. Charles Jecminek, Joseph Lap
esh, Vac. Miller and Joseph Getsn-
ger. One of the most important i'm
provements, and one for which the
people prayed for many years, has
just been completed and now Verdi
gre can boast one of the finest water
works systems of any town of its
size in the state; its cost was nearly
$1,000. The year 1912 will witness
still greater developments than any
year since the town was incorpo-
rated for we have a Commercial club
now. every member of which is a live
, wire. The Northwestern railroad is
negotiating for the purchase of
gravel pit here and if the deal is
cOnsumated, which it more than likely
will be, it will mean not less than
, thirty more families to become perma-
nent residents of our village. Every
one here has his shoulder to the
wheel, and the slogan is 1000 people

to make very many mistakes in their
reports at headquarters. Most of the
trouble with special agents has been
in the Pierre and Rapid City districts,
where it is alleged that homesteaders
have not made sufficient residence to
prove up.
Most South Dakota newspapers
would convey the idea that once a
homeseeker was induced to- file on a
claim he was subject to all kinds of
hardships from the government. There
are thousands of acres of homestead
land in South Dakota, and the govern
ment is anxious to have the soil titled,
and the press of the state should aid
rather than hinder the settlement. In
stead of censuring the work of spe.
cial agents in this matter, South Da-
kota newspapers should be first to
condemn such actions on the part of
homesteaders.

birds as the early corners during the
