A FARM

Danville, Ill., March 20: Miller
Press.-Our $50 acre farm north OF
Miller will be improved by house,
barn, artesian we'll, ETC., as soon as
workmen can complete the work. Mr..
Robt. Mickey, of near Rec Heights,
will occupy the farm. He will make
q speciality of full blood cattle and
hogs. We are fully convinced after
three years trial of grain farming
alone, that live stock and diversified
farming is necessary to obtain the
greatest success. The soone land
owners wake up to this fact the big
ger the returns and the quicker the
raise in price of the land. We are
firm believers in the great future OF
South Dakota and expect to put every
spare dollar in your land. We will
advise friends to do the same, and
expect to bring several of them with
me next fall to take a look. We en-
Joy your newsy paper very much.
Yours very respectfully,

OUT IN THE WILDS ACROSS THE BORDER NEl
now GEO. SCHLOESSER AND THE
POLLOCK EOYS SPENT CHRIST
MAS FORTT.TWO YEARS AGO.

William Schloesser, Of this city
County Sentinel, Colorado publica-
ton, containing an interesting account
OF early days in the great West. In
particular the first Christmas spent
by the white man in ROutt county is
spoken Of, and among the original
thirteen settlers were:
Homer Pollock, a prospective settler.
Jim Pollock, .HOmer's brother.
Geo. SchIoesser and Frank Mann,
partners of the Pollocks.
The first three men were Grant
county boys who went to Colorado 40
years ago.
The writer, Col T. H. lies, tells how
he went trapping in December, 1874
with the Pollock boys and George
Schlocsser. He says, in part:
con Dec. %, / packed my new pony
and started with Newton, jim Pollock
and George Schloesser on trapping
expedition up the river. On the sec
ond day we shot grouse in the cotton
woods Had a lively time. Arrived
dI EIk river dUOuG 1lOOu SO1IlS 1nIO
camp. Set out traps for foxes and coy
otes and shot two fat porcupines for
Christmas dinner. Lots of cottonwood,
so made a big fire and, pitching our
tent, fastened the flaps back so light
and heat would penetrate. Strewed
barE, boughs and grass on the floor Of
the tent and made things quite COM
Portable. After a pleasant night the
boys were awakened by the crack of
rife. They sprang to their arms, but
discovered no one about. Later George
Schloesser found his cartridge belt had
been left too close to the fire on the
night before and one of the cartridges
had exploded.
The boys had breakfast of fried
grouse with gravy, hot biscuits and
coffee followed by a plum pudding,
made with raisins, suet and -four"
The writer concludes with the hope
that the reader has as good an appe-
tite as he had on that Christmas day.

The dime piece contains a new face
