HOOsiers Use IA Dodge Car in Across
Continent Trip

A couple Of travellers, who had
come over the Yellowstone Trail
from the coast country, stopped
Tor a short time in town Monday
afternoon. They had started
from Indiana for the California
exposition aud were on their way
back, having covered something
over 1900 miles ia their car,
which was Dodge. They stat
ed that over some of the noun
tain country roads they travelled
mostly at night. preferring it to
day travel, as they could not look
down the sides Of the cliffs and
into the canyons at night, the
sights of which had tendancy
to make them nervous. The car
was giving splendid satisfaction
with this long continuous drive,
and It's owners were very proud
Of its work, and said to Mr..
the agent here, that
ne was handling a car that would
stand the test IN q loag drive over

As to Corn

Many of our friends in the
earlier part of the season when
looking for something to be
pessimistic about, would remark
that while the small grain ap-
peared to be in excellent con-
ditlon, corn would not be in the
race this year. The last few
weeks, however, has shown what
backward corn can. do under
right conditions, as it has had a
phenomenal growthand all the in
dicatiOn are that with a reason
able time before killing frosts
there will be a corn crop that
will again demonstrate that we
are in the corn belt.

Fine Place for Outing

The fact that BIG Stone lake is
becoming a chosen spot for sum
mer visitors becomes more and
more apparent each year. The
delights OF the lake in fishing and
bathing privileges are attracting
larger numbers Of people each
season, particularly those who
prefer the more natural life to be
found here to that of the more
fashionable lake resorts One OF
the most charming spots on the
shores of Big Stone is Lakeside,
on the Minnesota shore and about
ten miles above Ortonyille. 1t is
known to the older settlers as the
Porter Day farm and which was
recently sold by Gold & Co to
the Miller Bros L. p. and w. T..

had the large farm house re-
modelled for accommodations for

ing has been very commodiously
and comfortably furnished, and

llghtful scenery Of one of the

reports the crop a splendid one
in all localities, the straw be-

Coons stopped for a day or two
at his former home at Bowdle.
He says that one of the en-
couraging things is that notwith-
standing the fact that the crops
IN that locality have not been
considered good for several
years, the local banks show that
there is more money on deposit
then there has even been before
in the history of the town. This
clearly shows that the country
is in healthy condition and that
when present crop is turned in
to cash the banks will be over
flowing with deposits. Alfalfa,
live stock and creameries are
making change in that country.
