One of the editors Of the Vermll-
lion Republican who visited our
city during the K. Of P. Grand
Lodge session gives the following
account 'sof his visit:
The senior editor Of the Republi-
can threw Office cares and duties to
the wind last week, and hiked out
for > short vacation. The objective
point wss Milbank, and the reason
for hiking .thither was to attend the
session of the grand lodge Of
Knights Of Pythias. While this
was the primary purpose Of the
trip. We really wanted to get up
into : country Of which we knew
little and had seen less. Some TWEEN.

previous to this trip, to be exact
we had visited this section of the
state, Sht our experience had been
conflned entirely TO the city Of Big
Stone and the lake Of the same
)name. But we had always wanted

Ia short summer vacation, and
joined the crowd in making the
pilgrimage to- the queen city Of
fthe famous MILESTONE Valley.
We had hear.l of the hospitality of
the Miihank people, ard in what

We foud that the surrounding
country was veritable beauty spot,
rather rolling in its nature, but
withal containing some Of the fin
est farms in this section of the
country, and populated by q pros
porous and energetic farming popu-
lation. The natural lay Of the
land, and the many natural streams
and geological formations in that
section, contribute their share to
the panoramic beauty Of the sur
country. We enjoyed .

Yellowstone Trail. and can but add
to the commendation due to the peo
pc Of that section who are response
bile for the splendid condition Of
the road in that vicinity.
We couldn't pass up the printing
Offices, and found that Bro. Downie
the Herald Advance now grown
gray in the service was still holding
forth at the same old stand and
apparently enjoying the printers
life after all his years Of experience.
Bro. Dolan Of the Review was busy
at work in his shop, but found
time for a visit while we were

It is city Of homes as we'll as .
good business center. A new
court house is in course of con-
struction at the Upper end Of Main
street and is plainly seen from the
trains passing through the city.
A big electric sign Illuminated
hanging across Main street announ-
ces that You'll Like Milbank,"
and the citizens Of the city are sure
making good on that slogan.
As fitting climax to the two
days of entertainment that the boys
had arranged for the crowd, they |
loaded them al into automobiles
on Thursday afternoon and toted
them over to Big Stone Like. OF
course we had to pass through Big
