formed in Milbank, and would

The .-eaOQ has been unusually wet

beloved South Dakota. The many Mil

many desirable conditions prevail
here, adding much to the pleasure of
living, that it is the rule and not the
exception to find people contented even

only a small income. This cosmoool

of evergreen trees and shruos gives
to the picture a summer color even in
mid winter. The picturesque grandeur
of thi- rugged scenery has a charm of
which one never tires. The salt breezes,
fresh.y kissed with ocean spray, is a
breath for the gods, and the splendor
of the ruses and lovely riowers that
greet you everywhere make^ one feel
that he is kindly caressed by the choic
est of nature's blessings. You would
naturally conclude that when basking
in such congenial atmosphere to iin

summer-time in Dakota is inviting,
aud the delights of camp life at Big
Stone Lake captivates the spirit, aud
the start home is with glad anticipa

Sot Like Whetstone Valley Dirt
A. W. Schone recently return
ed from a thjee months trip
through Michigan, Kentucky,
Ohio and Wisconsin. He re
marked that while he saw lots of
farm land, some of it valued as
high £'#200 an acre, there was
none that he would have in
preference to Whetstone Valley
land, even in the b'^e grass
region of Kentucky.
Henry Redeker returned last
week from a visit to Roseau
county, Minn., where he had
been on an exploration for farm
ing lands, but was n^t captivated
with the country. After a man
has lived and farmed in Grant
countv he becomes fastidious,
aud other localities must have
some strong iuducements before
they look gocd to him.

To Stop Floods
Hy Hnildingr Dike and Reservoir at the
Foot of His- Stone Lake. Senator
Kay Farrinarton asks Minnesota.
Legislature for $25,000
If the plans of Senators Far
rington of Ortonville and John
son of St. Peter do not miscarry,
a dike and reservoir will be built
at the foot of Big Stone lake in
the near future. Mr. Farringtoo
sometime ago introduced a bill
the Minnesota legislature ask
ing for an appropriation of
$25,000, with which to build a
dike and reservoir, within which
the Hood waters from Big Stone
lake and the Whetstone river may
be controlled and let out as de-»
sired. Duringthe springand sum
mer the water from these sources
deluges the fiats of the Minne
sota river. At Manuato, St.
Peter
and Le Sueur, Minn., the crops
on the lowlands are totally des
troyed for miles, entailing losses
of many thousands of dollars. At
Mankato the Minnesota river
many times is one or two miles
wide, and people living in the
eastern part of the city to the
number of two thousand, are of
ten driven from their homes,
sometimes being forced to leave
their houses through windows in
boats Much of the lowlands from
Big Stone lake to St. Paul are
overflowed. It was to overcome
this great annual damage that
Mr. Farrington took the matter
up iu the Minnesota legislature.
The bill has received a favorable
report from both the drainage
and llnance committees of the
senate. It is now on general or
ders with good prospects that it
wiii pass the senate.
Church to be Remodeled
The Adventist church is being
remodeled into a residence, work
on the excavating by Mr. Grass
man for the basement starting
last Monday. The tower will be
removed and the present win
dows taken out. Sewer and
water connections will be made.
D. Staats has charge of the work
aud says he plans ou getting a
good nine room dwelling house
out of the building when it is
complete.
The Adventist church was
built in 1891, and when com
pleted cost about $1,200. There
was a membership at that time
of about 40. The removals aud
deaths have reduced the number
until ai the present lime Mr. and
Mrs. Staats are the only mem
bers living in this vicinity.
Meetings were discontinued sev
eral years ago. It was thought
by those connected with the
church to be best to turn it into
a residence and thus get some
returns from the property.
Boat for Linden Beach
Henry McEJherson is painting
and getting his 12 passenger
boat ready to put up at Linden
Beach as soon as the boating sea
son opens. It is 18 feet long and
and equipped with gasoline poor
er. It will be used to carry pas
sengers to and from Linden
Beach and Ortonville, and for
fishing parties. Linden Beach
will be quite a popular lake re
sort the coming summer if the
plans of the new proprietor* do
not miscarry.
Sunday Train Serviee
Commencing next, Sunday the
day trains on the Milwaukee will
run through to Miles City,Mont.,
they will also run on Sunday.
There will be no change in
the time of arrivaland departure
of passenger trains here, but &
slight change in the departure of
the way freight east.
Ready fer Seeding
The winds of the past week
have done good work in drying
the fields, and the farmers are
preparing to do their seeding.
March has been a genuinely
March month this year, with all
the different kinds of weather
due during the third month of
