We are in receipt o ia letter from
Christ Sterud, in which he says:
when / left Brookings, my dear old
home, l promised relatives and friends
to write, but have been so busy look
ing over the country and getting locat-
ed that | have had no time for letter
writing. I am now visiting my brother
at Reno, Nevada, and find that he
takes the Register. Reading it was
just like being among you and / con-
cluded that a word to your paper let
ting my friends know that had a
pleasant journey west would suffice
just now. Kindly send my Register
to San Leandro, Cal, where l and the
family will be located"
Ferd. Goodfellow, a graduate of S. D.
S. G. and also of l.. A. s. Of O., of Los
Angeles, Calf, met with a serious loss
by fire last Wednesday night. He is
farming in Ransom county, N. Oak,
and, while he and his sister, Mamie,
who is keeping house for him, were
spending the evening at a neighbor's
his barn, by some mysterious means,
caught fire and before he or any of the
%neighbors could reach it had gained
such Roadway that nothing could be
saved. Four horses, two colts, one
COW and calf, harnesses, alfalfa hay,
feed, from 1000 to 1900 bushels of un.
threshed beans, and a bean thresher
were all destroyed. The horse and
buggy he drove that evening escaped
the holocaust. With characteristic
grit the young man says, "We will
farm it here next year on a larger
scale than ever" This year he raised
over 10000 bushels Of potatoes and
the beans that were burned and seeded
80 acres to alfalfa. Next year he says
he will have 100 acres Of spuds, so
acres Of beans, oats and corn enough
for feed, and seed 100 acres to alfalfa.
