The tru:h of the matter Is that up to this time the best portions of this state have not been placed before the eastern Immigrants, for the reason that much of thel land was owned and held by the original donailon ciaimers who refused to dispose of them. The situation is altered to a great ex tent now. The old order is changing; the methods of the past are rapidly going out of style, and improvement Is noticeable on all sides. In proof of t'tese assertions t'.e following opin ions, by a man who has traveled ill over the state in pursuit of a lo citlon, and whose views upon other subjects are treated with res?e t, is ;iven as evidence.

About 3 o'c'o k fire wJa diacover- ed in the roof of I. W. Dlcklnson'a - - l'verv imrn and in le a than five min . utes from the time an a arm was frn upon the burning roof, and the blaze was soon ext'nguiFhed. but not un til the roaf was considerably damaged It is supiosed that the fire originat ed from a cinder coming out of the smoke s ack at the creamery. A strong wind w'as blowing from the north and the fames we"e rapidly - w-rkng t rough the ba'k part of i j " arrived. For a short time it looked as if a sarlous lira was inevitable. The fire company Is deserving of much credit for its quick action. A f w minutes delay in this case would probably have resulted in the loss of the entire building and probably the sish and door factory and other build Ings in fiat portion of the city. Anticipating the entire destruction of his property, Mr. Dickinson remov. ed his horses and vehicles from the b illd n. It required on'y a short time, however, to get control of the ; flames and the loss did not prove to be very heavy. Decides Not to Celebrate.
