iiever discovered, and the world
tntinued to move along the line

lie would not have been greatly

rain oyer impossibilities, hut, like

devising some means whereby

must be confessed by everyone
li.atthe neighborhood of JJig Stone
lake affords a paradise for invalids.
It is, hi line, nature's great sanatarium
i't Uie northwest. Weak lungs, en
iceliied stomachs and llabby muscles
May here be toned up to their normal
condition and that, too. in a natural
ni.i, enjoyable way. This lake is of
a .-\ access by rail fromallpartsof the
country, and it will reqirre but a small
pressure upon the lever of the oi•be
press to move a large pa.t of t• ie
world, and that in the direction of
Big Stone foi fve have 'ileiuui big
enough and strong eno.igh to answer
our purpose fully. Many a place of
lakeshore and seaside resort, with
less than one-half of the natu tl
advatages aTorded by litis, has leaped
into notoriety with'u the past fifteen
years, drawing into its midst thous
ands annually iu search of health or
pleasure. But in each and every in
stance some one had to make a begin
ning something outside of the ordin
ary line of doing had to be done.
"Nothing venture, nothing win," is
a well known truism, but it is as true
now as the past, and unless some
thing is ventured to improve the
natural advantages afforded by this
place, leu will be the wiser or better
in mind. body, or estate, so far as Big
Stone is concerned, ami the business
men and fanners in this vicinity, will
allow to lie unimproved one of the fin
est opportunites lor growth and pros
perity ever afforded to a single com
munity since the world began.
But what (\«n be done to secure the
full and permanent use and develop
ment of our resources? What enter
prise can be started which will have
a tendency to open the eyes of our
neighlwus to see the superior attrac
tions of our city aud lake Well, in
reply to this we say that several
things mav be done. It has been sug
gested by some that a dam be thrown
across the foot ol the lake, between
this city aud Lrtonville, thus develop
ing a water privilege. This may be
done at some time in the distant fu
ture, but the outlook for this sort of
improvement is very unsatisfactory.
To most of our business men proba
bilities in favor of the success of this
scheme, seem exceedingly small.
It has also been suggested that a
tirst-class hotel might be erected near
the foot of the lake, aud that such a
hotel would induce many to visit our
city during the summer season. This
is unquestionably true, but a hotel,
with its guests tarrying among us for
a few weeks in the summer season
only, while it would undoubtedly
proove to liea llnancial success to the
proprietor* would not very greatly
contribute to the growth and general
prosperity of the town.
A third enterprise has been named,
viz.: the establishment of a school of
high grade, on the Dakota side, in '.he
vicinity of the foot of the lake. Such
an enterprise may be begun at any
time ami made a complete success.
The unrivalled attractions by this lo
cality, would determine the choice »f
a multitude of young men, in relation
to the place of conducting preparatory
studies, in order to a full collegiate
course while the same would be equal
ly true of those contemplating a sem
inary course only.
Pure air and water, magnilicent
scenery combined with opportunities
for healthtul rccreaiion, such as hunt
ing. fishing, boating and skating, cast
a potent ami wholesome spell over the
mind of the youth who believes in de
veloping a perfect physique, as well as
a cultured brain, and the inevitable
result would be to call together a
great company of students from near
aud tar. And, believe me, the intro
duction of some hundreds ol pupils, of
the sort who patronize schools of high
grade, would prove no small acquisi
tion to our city. Not only would
heir preence among us increase busi
ness of various kinds, but it would al
so serve to bring into our midst a val
uable class of permanent residents.
Good educational advantages are of
great weight in determining the choice
of families of real worth, as regards
permanent residence. No.sensible pa
rent will neglect an opportunity to
live within easy reach of some superi
or school. Jle it also remembered
that the attendance of a large number
of young men and women from vari
ous part.s of Dakota, Miuriesota, and
possibly other more distant States,
would furnish successful means of
advertising the superior advantages
lor both recreation and health, as well
as study, found in this beautiful spot.
Looking at this whole thing from a
practical business standpoint, we are
safe in saying that it would prove a
paying investment for this city to in
augurate and complete such an enter
prise. Other cities in the Territory
are feeling the importance of establish
ing schools of high grade in their midst
Our sister town of Ortonville has in
successful operation a school, which,
under the faithful management of a
superior coips of instructors, is pros
pering grandly, with a large number
of students who come from a distance
to avail themselves of the marked ad
vantages to be gained in and around
this school. If our citizens will only
exercise their usual business shrewd
ness. and not allow this privilege to
remain unimproved, they can do vast
ly more for themselves, and the world
at large, than could be done by the lo
cation of the county seat in this place
and that without the unpleasantness
which often accompanies such a loca
tion.
The financial aspect of this question,
although important, is, in reality, of
least weight. It is not a small privi
lege to have near at hand superior fa
cilities in order to the thorough edu
cation of our children. The times de
mand of us that we educate our chil
dren liberally, and there is no excuse
for us if we fail to fully meet this de
mand and yet we are excusable if we
seek an opportunity for the educa
tion of our sons and daughters where
the expense will not prove too heavy
for the contents
of our purse. Exper
ience proves that it is cheaper an*' bet-
i
ter to educate our children at home
than abroad. The moral influence of
such an institution in our midst
I should by no means be lost sight of.
Education, morality and true religion
I are in accord with each other and
when these combine permanence and
i strength are secured. If every town
and city in Dakota could support such
a school as we have named, iu theii
midst it would be of priceless value to
them. But every town and city can
not do this. Certain natural advan
tages are demanded and il each city,
or county even, were to establish a
school ot high grade within its bord
ers, many of them would soon die and
many more would, at best, drag out
but a feeble existence. In this place
are natural advantages, and a plenty
of them, too. The vicinity of Big
Stone lake has sanitary qualities which
make it, for the purpose named, the
peer of any place in all the land.
God seems to have designed it for
this especial purpose. lie opens wide
the door ami bids us enter and use the
land of promise to our profit financial
ly, intellectually and morally. It is
true that in order to the inception and
completion of this enterprise there
must be an outlay of money, but it is
also true that according to our sowing
shall be our reaping. Sacrifice com
monly precedes success, and the rule
holds good that the greater the sac
rifice the uuoie complete and satisfac
tory the sttccess.
