Old Swan Lake
By Joseph Andrews
NO. XY

Los Angeles, Cal. May 10. 'l2,
My Deal Old Friend-I received
your letter of the 18th several
days ago. Our street number
has been changed and it was de-
layed in reaching me. am
sfraid can be of little a.sist.
ance to you about your Swan
Lake article. My memory as to
dates was never very good, but
now it is very poor indeed, and
l cannot give dates for anything.
As to the first postlristress at
Swan Lake, Miss Helen Bach.
elor, now Mrs. S. F.. Andrews,
was the first. She was also the
the first white woman of Turner
County. Her brother.in law, w.
w. Aulner, and wife and the
two Bachelor girls settled there
first and Miss Helen stayed
there alone for some time, while
the settlement was be ng made.
After a few settlers. came in she
received the postoffice appoint.
u. ent and no one wanted it as
the pay was only fro,n So 90 to
$1,000 a year, and consider
able trouble and bother was
attached to it. 1t was not a de-
sirable Office and much credit
was due her for keeping it so
long. Her resignation was sent
in and no petition for success.
sor. The postoffice department
wrote to the governor, Mr.. Bur-
bank, Il was quite we'll acquaint-
ed with him) ami he sent in to
have me appointed and before I
knew anything about it 1 was
postmaster at Swan Lake. That
was in the early part of 1873 and
| had to take it as without q
postmaster there our neares.
postofice would have been
II-Yanktois. heaSkssas ozacsi fo17
six or seven years. "a
The first church in the county
was the Episcopal church at
Swan Lake. Father Hoyt, the
Episcopal minister at Yankton,
had held frequent services at
Swan Lake atAnrner's -od house
hotel. He furnished the lumber
for the church, Mr.. Aulner
hauled it from Yankton and l
was the mechanic in building it.
Father Hoyt allowed other de
nominations to use it when he
was not there. The first term
Ct school was also held in this
church, Mrs. Aurner teaching.
The secord school was tangh,
by Miss Annie Means, after.
wards your wife, but think at
that time the new school house
was built, which answered for
school purposes, court house,
church sometimes and for politi.
cal meetings and once in while
to hold dance in. Now can
not give you dates for any OF
these things. If l was in the
vault in my old Office in Parker
could furnish dates for these
matters, but my memory fails
me in all of them.
Yes, we have finally concluded
to locate in Los Angeles. Have
bought q house here and have
lived in it a little over two
months, and I am again keep.
ing bachelor hall as l was the
first time I met you in Turner
County. Dakota Ter though
under somewhat different cir
stances; yet there is always q
warm place in my heart for Tur-
ner County and especially for
the many good old friends / had
there. Many of them have gone

MONT. CORN
RAISING STATE
Future Years to See Montana
a Cattle Raising State
Says Atkinson.

T Billings, Mont, Jan. Culture
years will see Montana a cattle
raising state Of more Importance
than was true in the halcyon days
of the range, is the opinion Of Prof.
Alfred Atkinson, agronomist OF
the State Agricultural College,
who bases his prediction on the
fact, in addition to alfalfa, it is
now proved that the climatic con-
ditions and the soil are admirably
adapted to the successful Droduc-
tion of corn, and with this food
combination, the cattle feeding in
dustry is destined to become great
in volume and decidedly profitable
to those who engage in it.
Notwithstanding the fact that
M Montana is generally looked upon
as a corn raising state, he is certain
that it will soon be recognized as
one of the leaders in this branch
of farm industry, and it will be by
cuItivating the variety known as
Northwestern Dent that this will
be brought about.
This corn has for a few years
Abeer. grown to a considerable ex.- *.
ftent, particularly III the eastern
part Of Montana, and Prof. Atkin.
son says that on account OF the
fact that it will mature within 60
to 80 days following planting, it
may be cultivated with success on
the non irrigated, as we'll as the
valley lands. The crop will also
take the place Of summer falloW
and is doubly valuable for this
reason.
In this part of the state consi
derable attention has been given
to corn growing during the last
five years, though a few farmers
have grown small acreages for
much longer period: but with The
steady increase in the area devoted
to it, within the next decade corr
will be recognized as one Of the
staple products of the Yellowstone
Valley and the adjacent uplands
Yields ranging from 25 to Il
bushels per acre have been securet
in this locality and in quality th
corn is fully equal to any produced
:, in the corn belt states of th
middle west.
