RAILWAY BUILDING IN NORTH OAK,
liow Slandau Will I5e Favorably
Aftected.
Between the main line of the
Northern Pacific Railway across
North Dakota and the Elk-liorn
branch of the Northwestern line,
through northern Nebraska, lies the
greatest expanse of country under
the American flag uncrossed by a
trans continential road. And that
section of country eompiised in the
southern miles of North Dakota,
the whole west half of South Dakota,
and a strip along the north line of
Nebraska affords the greatest field
for railway building and rapid devel
opment now available.
Both the Milwaukee and North
western roads have begun to build
across* the- southern part of western
South Dakota and rtieie is a corps of
Milwaukee surveyors in the field west
of Evarts, which lies 011 the east
bank of the Missouri next the North
Dakota line and naturally commands
the territory comprised in the north
ern half of western South Dakota
and southern part of western North
Dakota.
The Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany also has a force of surveyors in
the field working from Mandan south
west toward the Black Hills of
South Dakota, which are the first ob
jective point of at least three of the
different routes referred to. Both
the Milwaukee and Northwestern
will no doubt continue 011 through
the hills to the Pacific Coast.
While all the railway systems men
tioned are working principally for
through traffic, the development of
the country suitable for agricultural
purposes and crossed*by these roads
is going to be nothing short of won
derful. Just as certainly as eastern
North and South Dakota support a
number of good towns like Fargo,
Grand E'orks, Jamestown, Devils
Lake, Wahpetou, Aberdeen, Water
town. Huron, -Mitchell, Madison,
Sioux Falls and a score of others,
just so surely the strip of country
above described will support a pro
portionate number of equally pros
perous towns and cities.
The settlement of the country de
scribed is going on so quietly that it
is not appreciated by those not par
ticipating in it. In the great west
ward movement of the eighties, the
newspapers, and real estate men car
ried on a brass band campaign. This
is true in a very literal sense. Sales
of lands and lots were carried on with
a brass band in attendance. Every
thing in the way of entertainment
was free and also transportation.
Now the brass baud isn't heard of,
transportation, of course, is reduced,
but everybody pays his way and in
stead of speculators, rarmers gather
from corners of America and Europe,
we also find a few merchants, a few
capitalists and a great many farmers
from the Eastern States looking not
for land that may be turned over in a
short time at a satisfactory profit,
but looking for homes for people who
mean to settle.
The towns whence these different
roads build are going to enjoy a full
measure of prosperity along with the
country thus developed Mandan,
Evarts, Pierre and Chamberlain,
primarily, will reap the greatest bene
fits, and no doubt between those
points and the Black Hills, or in the
Hills themselves, cities will grow up
with great rapidity within the next
few montlis.
There will be a branch of the North
ern Pacific northwest from Mandan
and one southwest. These without
the advantages furnished by any com
peting lines will give Mandan a pop
ulation of seven or eight thousand
people within the next three or five
years. There were only 2800 people
here when the census was taken last
spring but' new names are being
added to the directory weekly and no
town of the Northwest offers better
inducements for small manufacturers
or jobbers.

Insurance Commissioner Perkins
seems to be looking alter the interests
of the people of the state a little
closer than his predecessors by the
discovery that the St. Paul Fire and
Marine Insurance Company had never
paid any taxes on its Hail Insurance
department. Commissioner Perkins
drew on the company for $8,000.99
and got it. That's the kind of an
officer to have in charge of the insur
ance department, and it clearly indi
cates that Mr. Perkins is looking
after the interests of the tax pay
ers.
The slugging game now called foot
ball is doomed. New York's Columbia
College has banished the game be
cause of its death list and brutalities.
The President is after the beef,
standard oil, steei and tobacco trusts.
Here's hoping he will succeed.

4 Faithful LEADER In the Oauee of Economy and Reform, the Defender of Truth and Juetlae, the Foe of fraud and Corruption.
CANTON, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1905.
leath ol" Mrs. Campbell.
The editor and Mrs. Linn returned
from Charles City, Iowa, Monday
night, where they were called last
Friday by the sudden death of Mrs.
Jane Linn Campbell, the only sister
of the editor of the Leader. She
had been troubled with an affection
of the heart for several years, and it
was heart failure that brought to a
sudden end the life of that well be
loved sister. The funeral took place
last Sunday at 2:30 from the family
home, and nearly all of the original
pioneers, now living, were present.
Mr. and Mrs. Campbell came to
Charles City from Ripon, Wisconsin
in 1804, and have made that beauti
ful City on the Cedar their home
ever since. Mrs. Campbell wsis a
Canton visitor during the Mitchell
corn palace week, and enjoyed a trip
to that beautiful city on the Jim,
returning home early in October.
Death came suddenly but not un
expectedly, as the deceased realized
that heart failure woulu give iittie
warning of the change from this life
to the better life beyond the grave.
She had been an active member or
the Eastern Star and W. R. C. for
many years, and these organizations
were fully represented at the funeral.
Mrs. Campbell was a member of the
Congregational church for nearly
fifty years, and had been very active
in church work.
The earnest sympathy of the peo
ple of Charles City was extended to the
bereaved husband and relatives in
many ways, showing their sincere
sorrow over the loss and death of an
old settler and friend.
Mis:* Juel's School.
One of the Leader subscribers sends
the following:
I am going to tell you of a Thanks
giving entertainment I enjoyed at
our school house, Friday afternoon
December 1st.
Miss Cora Juel, teacher, with eight
of Iter pupils ranging from five to
thirteen .veal's, gave a whole hour's
entertainment to the parents and
friends of District No. 5 who had
assembled there.
It was all so nice, it would be hard
to discriminate, but among the things
worthy of mentioned was a tableaux
of "Priscilla" and John Alden," with
a genuine spinning wheel, and a
Harvest Song with 'Jack O'Lantern's
for lights.
This is Miss Juels' first term of
school and she is certainly making a
success of her work.
She is a careful and a successful
teacher, and the way that she arrang
ed her entertainment shows that she
is well qualified to entertain as well
as instruct.
The Russians are doing pretty good
work among themselves, and if all the
anarchists are laid away the gain will
be worth the powder used
—Gasoline stoves cleaned and repair
ed and lawn mowers sharpened.

This is difficult to understand but is easy enough
when spelled right. It is also not difficult to under
stand why there is good money in buying real estate,
when you can get land for $15.00 per acre that will
raise just as good grain, grass and corn as the land
in Lincoln county worth $50 to $70.
We have a large list of lands in Beadle, Spink
and Hand counties direct from the owners, that we
can sell for from $12.50 per acre up.
We can also locate you on homestead lands in
Stark, Hettinger and Billings counties, North Dak.,
tvithin 20 miles of a railroad, and sell you land ad-.
