There has been an immense amount of yardage laid here and at this date they are well tilled with car loads of freight. Since the road came in there has been a rush on to get goods delivered that had been held up waiting the rail service. One lumber yard received ten cars of lumber in a day this week and other business concerns have received freight in almost like manner. The drays have Itecn busy and everything pertaining to business has assumed metrop olitan proportions of late. Lub iKick has been receiving a lot of advertising lately and when the year is a little futher advanced we may expect to see a tide of immigration headed this way that will surprise the natives.
