A Long and Honorable Service

Last Wednesday the 28th inst
as Ed. Phelan was getting
aboard No. 4 on his usual trip.
he called out, "It is just 80 years
ago today that I commenced my
work here in Milbank as road
master. This is a pretty good
stretch of time to look back over,
while at one job, and it speaks
something for both MIR Phelan
and the company. The former
has seen the H & D. road devel-
op from a poorly equipped
western branch line into an i'm
portant section of one of the
great transcontinental raj |.

accommodations n d ira fiji c

the great lines of railroad in the
country. Mr.. Phelan may well
refer to his long service wi tn
something of pride in his thought
and the company can congratu
late itself ON having had for sc
many years a faithful and eff
cient employee.

Lecture Course

A number of citizens together
with the commercial club have
interested themselves ia the
securing of fine lecture course
to consist of five numbers, one
OF the numbers being lecture
and the other four to be musical
and with other features of enter
tanning character. It is believed
that Milbank can well afford to
sustain series of the better
class of entertainments during
the next season, and it is hoped
that cordial support will be
given the promoters of the move.

tickets are offered. Under 9

Rest Room

When the new court house is
built one Of the conveniences it
will have is rest room, where
the women from the country
may take their children and rest
themselves at any time while
in town The same provision is
made in many WideaWake towns,
and until the new court house is
ready for occupancy It has been
suggested that the merchants of
Milbank secure place and have
it fitted up for the purpose men
toned, and it is possible that the
building formerly occupied by
the Thirsk Bros, may be OBJ.
tained for this purpose, as it can
be leased at small cost for
some months. We believe the
project will be a helpful one and
the convenience be appre-
ciated by the farmer women who
come to trade in Milbank.

August Anderson, on ]. A. Fuller
Farm Receives Fatal Bolt

Last Thursday evening April p,
when the rain storm came up about S
. clock. August Anderson, who lived
on and worked the farm of j. A.
Fuller, in Stockholm township, was
killed by lightning while standing in
the doorway Of the barn, in company
with a young brother. The younger
man was simply stunned by the bolt
for moment, but recovered to find
his brother dead. The unfortunate
man was about 26 years of age, and
leaves wife and babe and has sew
eral brothers living in this country.
He was q native of Sweden, and came
to this country about four years ago,
and was married two years to his
surviving wife. The bolt of lightning
which killed him came straight down
through the root OF the barn, but did
not set the building on fire and no
particular damage was done to the
barn.

The singing and the dialogs
were we'll done considering the
fact that no school time was de-
voted to practice. A mum Der OF
the mothers were present to see

Peeyer Fire
The Southwest Business Bloc
Totally DESTROYED
Block

Peever Pilot, Friday, April %: A
fire OF unknown origin which started,ir
| the pOstoffice at about one O'Clock
| this morning, completely DESTROYED
the southwest business block of our
city, entalllng loss of about $40, 900
The fire was discovered hy Sven
Anderson. who Immediately rang the
fire bell, but by the time help arrived
the fire had gained such headwav,
that hope OF saving the building was
abandoned and all efforts were direct
ed to trying to save as much Of the
contents as possible.
The Peever Auto Garage saved
some OF their tools, and the cars
stored therein, about fifteen in
number, were all saved. The loss
on same was about S3, 500 with 81 800
insurance. They will rebuild as soon
as possible
Cassett and PlerSOn, who conducted
farm implement business in the J..
Stefflre building, saved some of their
stock and carried some insurance.
Their loss was about $1,000 There
was no insurance on the building.
which was valued at about 81 500.
Postmaster +. E. Dudeck's building
ana contents were total loss He
carried S4OO insurance and sustained
loss OF about $500.
The 5. IL. Renville pool AMI lunch
room were next. Asa Sweetcorn
owned the building. which was valued
at 81 600 and on which $500 insurance
was carried. S. Fl. Renville and S.
l.. finley owned the contents. valued
at ) ,oOO and carried no insurance.
The +. l.. Parrat restaurant, building
was owned by easy y&Murray and was
insured. The loss was about 81. 500.
There was no insurance on the con-
tents which were owned by Mr.. .Parrott
and which was practically all lost.
,. II. Renville owned the building
occupied by The Peever Pilot and
valued same at 81 500, insurance $500.
The loss to The Pilot plant was about
Sl5UO, and was insured for ST. 900.
Jurgens Il Beck, general merchants
sustained the largest loss. They
valued the building at $1,000 and the
stock at $4,000. The insurance on
the building and stock was $1,000.
Considerable goods were carried out,
but large part was ruined by fire
and water. They will rebuild at
once.
The First State Bank saved most
OF the fixtures, but their handsome
building which was completed only
few months ago was destroyed. Their
loss was about 81. 900 and they carried
insurance. Mr.. Rice stated that they
would rebuild at once.
This is the second large fire we
have sustained in a little over a year,
the first cleaning the block just north
of this and both could easily have
been saved with the aid Of only
small waterworks plant. The city
voted on issuing bonds for fire pro-
lection only last summer and the pro
ject was defeated more by u lack Of
interest than OF oppos ition.
While some Of the buildings will be
rebuilt it is doubtful if the block will
be replaced for some time and it is a
serious blow to our city.
Valiant efforts were made to save
as much of the contents as possible,
but it was ve'y discouraging to be
forced to see the buildings burn one
after another tor the want of a little
fire protection.

Corn and Alfalfa
Grant County to Make Exhibit at
Western Fair

The matter of preparing and
making an exhibit at the Western
Minnesota Corn and Alfalfa ex.
hibition was discussed at the
meeting of the Com mercial C.ut
last Monday evening. The ex
hibition will be held at Ortonville
this year, sometime in October
Previous exhibitions of the asso

last year attracted big attend.
ance, many thousands of visitors
coming from eastern points.
Liberal prizes are given for ag
ricu'tural product, sparticularly
corn and alfalfa, and while the
Grant county exhibits can not be
entered for premiums, the exhib.
its will be scored and marked
the same as the Minnesota pro
ducts. If the enterprise is TAX
en- hold Of in the proper spirit
there is no question but that
Grant county can put on one of
the best if not the best exhibits
in the show, and we believe there
IS a splendid opportunity for
this Milestone valley to show to
the world the superior advanta-
ges Of it's splendid soil and eli
mate in agricultural productive.
ness. The Commercial club has
taken up the matter and COM
mittees Of farmers and citizens
will be asked to further the en-
terprise by an active and intelli
gent work in the collec ion of the
products of the county. The
fact that this exhibition is to be
held ia an adjoining county will
be great advantage in saving
of expense IN transportation and
it is believed will result in more
benefit than would an exhibit at
a state fair. Let US get ready to
make q good showing.

Telephone Decision
The Grant County Telephone Company
Ordered to Connect with Da-
kOta Central

Attorney Thad. L. Fuller re-
celved word from the Board of
Railroad Com missioners stating
that a decision had been reached
IN the case of Milbank VS. the
Grant County Telephone Co. and
the Dakota Central Telephone
Co, ordering the former to make
connection with the latter compa
ny, which was the result desired
by the institution of the procsed
ings an behalf of the city. A
further inquiry by Mr.. Fuller
brought the statement from the
board that no additional charges
should be made by either compa-
ny for switching from one line to
the other, and only the regular
tolls should be taken. We un.
derstand that Mr.. kast, the sup
erintendent Of the Grant County
Telephone Co, is favorable to
having the matter adjusted as
early as possible, but there is
possibility that the decision may
be appealed to the supreme
court This it is believed Will not
change the decision, but will on
ly result in delay in enforcing
it. In the decision the board
ordered the connection to be
made within 80 days.
The order provides that the expense
OF the trunk lines together with the
connections, be born by the Grant
county company, although the actual
work OF making the connection be.
tween these trunk lines and the in
struments OF the Dakota Central shall
be made by employees OF the latter
company.
Following the establishment of this
connection. the Dakota Central shall
permit subscribers of the Grant Coun-
ty company to receive or transmit
long distance or toll messages from
the telephone instruments installed in
their respective places of business Or
residences at the regular toll tariff
rate in effect with the Dakota Central's
own subscribers in this city the Grant
County company guaranteeing, col
lCCtiuS duu tuIuluS ONoF w TIE LAKE
ia Central company all toll charges
originating on It's line. reversed mos.
sages being considered as originating
on each line.
This decision is considered signal
victory for the residents of Milbank
inasmuch as ever since the Grant
County company was granted fran
chise in 1905 there has been no end of
over this question. The
Dakota Central has opposed this con-
nection on the grounds that the Grant
County company is controlled by the
TriState Telephone x Telegraph COM
pany, and that connecting With the
Grant County company would tend to
contiscate the property Of the Dakota
Central company here at MiIbank, as
its subscribers were held principally
because OF the long distance service
obtainable over the Dakota Central
lines, and if connection was made
its subscribers would discontinue their
telephones and become subscribers Of
the Grant County exchange, which has
considerable local color despite the
fact that the majority Of its stock is
held by an outside corporation.
