Duluth, Huron & North

his first authorized statement

ed. Mr.. Morrow and w. G.
Ladage, one of the directors of
the company, have been in this
setion for some time supervising
the work being done and are
now in Huron for time.
They both positively deny that
there is any connection between
the proposed line and any trunk
line or other railroad. Although
Mr. Morrow was for many
years townsite agent of the
Milwaukee, he resigned that po-
sition the first of January and
has not since been connected
with the company.
The railroads S recently amend
ed articles of incorporation give
the following route for the line:
The place from which the said
corporation is to construct, oper-
ate and maintain the line of rail
road is the city of Huron, Beadle
county, South Dakota: and the
place to which said corporation
is to construct, operate and
maintain a line of railroad is the

which the schools have already

There will be a few changes
made in the organization of the
work. The eighth grade will
not be grouped with the high
school but will be given separ-
ate room and teacher. We have
been fortunate enough to secure
for the eighth grade work, an
unusually we'll qualified teacher,
one who, for two years, was con-
nected with the Minneapolis
schools, and who will, we believe
build up strong department.
Manual Training will be added
to our course this year. The
board have ordered the equip
ment, and have been fortunate
enough to secure as instructor,
a man who is also an experienc
ed band director.
In the high school, MIR. Cries

science and mathematics and
possibly a German class. Miss
Chamberlain will have her last
years classes in English. Miss
Bell will teach the Latin and may
have one class in German and
one in history. &. Y. krebS has
