schools on this branch, four of then
being under construction at the present

into consideration that the railroad
is in there less than two years, it il
a very fair indication Of the calibre o.
| the citizens who have settled in tha
section of the state as everyone o.
these towns is anxious to do anything
in it's power to get thorough. mod
ern and up-to -date school building.
Following are the towns: Killdeel
$4,000 school; Dunn Center, $4,000,
Golden Valley, $4,000; Hazen, $S2,
