The Qate City Editor H. C. Tucker, of the Gedcfes News, visited Wagner last week and in the columns of his paper gives his ideas of Wagner and the vicinity. Bro. Tacker is a close observer of con ditions, an ardent admirer of a beau tiful and fertile agricultural section and praises our city and its surrounding acres in the following words: "Friday we went down the line on the "Minnehaha Central" to Wagner, the "Gate City" tn the best agricultu ral county in South Dakota. "Now we are not going to concede that Wagner is a better town than Geddes, for there is no place like home and Geddes is our home, but we are compelled to admit that our sister city is a fine town with a splendid class of citizens. Along the stretch of country between Geddes and Wagner our eyes were on bunareds of fine farms we passed and in nearly every fiela farmers were at work, seeding, usii% the disc, dragging, plowing and some were breaking prairie. The soil was in prime conditiou for work ex cept, perhape, in the extermely low places where it waa too wet for cult ivation. We saw fine fields of alfalfs just showing a beautiful green and thf fields ot fall wheat looked as though tfce plants bad stood the winter well. We saw thoussnds of mud hens on Lake Andes and a few flocks of ducks. The lake is bank full of water and the expert angler may be able to land a seven psund baas or a fine pike or giant bullhead. "At Wagner we found the business men as ever wide-awake and justly proud of their imperial city. We took a stroll around tie city and noticed the many fine residences, well-kept lawns, as well as numerous brick or cement business buildings. The Msjonic Temple is the finest balding of its kind west of Yankton, and the Cath olic church, built of brick and fast nearing completion, is the finest church edifice in Charles Mix County, costing when furnshed something like thirty thousand dollars. "It is easy to see what makes Wag ner such a good town—her progressive business men. Yes, certainly, they are helpful. But the foundation, the very structure upon which the cit was built and will continuo to grow and increase in populaion and impor tance, are the rich acres that stretch awav miles and miles in every di rection, as productive a soil as the sun ever shone upon. They are the golden resources that are Wagner's and when all these acres become wealth producers by proper cultivation then the agri cultural gold mine will increase its oat-put many times over, which will in turn demand a larger population and an increased business capacity to han dle the surplus from these wealth-pro ducing farms. "How easy it ia to make a trip to the "Gate City." We take the train in tbe morning from any one of the four stations, Platte, Geddes, Lake Andes or Ravinia, and are at our desti nation in time for a late breakfast and in returning may take the noon freight west or wait for the evening passen ger train home. As we made tbe trip so pleasantly and quickly to Wagner we thought of tbe contrast as between that city and Wheeler, with practically no accomodations with a court houae that cost $2,600 and was built thirty years ago, and fifteen miles from tbe nearest railroad town. Wbo would be so short-sighted as to vote at tbe coming election to continue the county seat at Wheeler, surely no one wbo baa the best interests of oar splendid county at heart.** Prices' T' rNo WMr- ft. •0 -'.
