Mr. Barnum, in the short pithy
address he made to those present,
dwelt upon the prosperity that has
come to Sherman county because of
the act of the legislature carried into
effect by the board of control. He
spoke of how the financial tension
of the proceeding years had been
enormously relieved by the possibil

which he had sold at that price and

referred to in his speech, said that
