THE TOWN OF ZELL.
As the west bound train over the Chicago & North- western railway leaves Redfield in Spink county, South Dakota, the first station to be called is Zell, in Faulk county. It is a town of about three hundred inhabitants. The first settlers were from Germany and Austria, in re- ligious faith, Catholics. While forming an enterprising, industrious community a Catholic church and school have been and now are prominent features in the makeup of the town. Among the early settlers were Leo Heppler, Wen- zel Heppler, A. Schade, M. Heppler, Eustace Weis, Jos. Abris, Frank Spannbauer, Leonard Jungferdorf and P. J. Berger. As early as the beginning of 1883, Rev. Bishop Marty began to look after the spiritual interests of this people. Rev. J. Lameseh was the first resident priest, died July 5, 1895 and was laid to rest in the local cemetery. On the 15th of April, 1883, more than a year before the arrival of the resident priest, the people had decided to have a sisters' convent which was for the time being, to serve as a church and school.
The St. Mary's Boarding School for young ladies and children, under the management of Benedictine sisters, has been a power in the intellectual and moral uplifting of the young. The need of a larger and more modern church had been felt for some years, but not until the coming of the present parish priest, Rev. F. S. Meyer, in 1904, did the enterprise take tangible forni.
173
The summer of 1904 was a time of deep interest to the good people of Zell, as the beautiful new church took on form, the interest continued until the completion and dedi- cation of the church, which is not only an honor to the town, the people who so readily furnished the means and successfully carried it forward, but the entire county. In size 40x100, with a tower 75 feet high, in artistic design and finish, it is the equal if not the superior of any church edifice in the county. An illustration of the Zell church and St. Mary's school may be found in this history.

The business men are energetic and are alert for any business enterprise that will benefit the town. They are courteous in their business and invite all that are looking for a good place to locate to investigate here before they decide on a location.
The country is settled by wide-a-wake farmers and stock raisers and produces a good amount of grain and live stock. This is a great shipping point for farmers and is one of the best towns west of Redfield on the Chicago & Northwestern line.
The stores here keep their stock of goods up to those that are located in towns three times the size of this and you are able to purchase goods here at a price that will astonish you.

It is surrounded by a rich, well farmed agricultural territory, which gives it a large grain shipping business and a good lumber trade. It is too near Faulkton to do a large mercantile business.
It has two stores, a lumber yard and two grain eleva- tors. It is an important business center.

ORIENT.
Orient is located in the southeast corner of Orient town- ship, ten miles from Faulkton and on the south line of Faulk county. It is the southern terminus of the Roscoe and Orient branch of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. Its distance from Miller in Hand county has given it a large amount of trade from the northern part of Hand county. Surrounded by large tracts of improved farming land it furnishes ample business for its four large grain elevators. It has a flourishing coal and lumber trade and meets a large and increasing demand for farm machiu-
177
ery and general merchandise. With a fine large school building and two churches, the Methodist Episcopal and Catholic, the intellectual and spiritual welfare of the people are well cared for.
In addition to the four grain elevators there is a farm- ers' independent platform from which shippers may load and unload cars without paying tribute to anyone.
The Conway Brothers, William McKay general mana- ger, have one of the largest if not the largest business place in Faulk county. In addition to a well stocked store of dry goods, groceries and a heavy stock of ready made clothing, they have a full stock of hardware with lumber and coal, and an extensive assortment of farm machinery.
Messrs. Reilly & Pagel have a well filled store of general merchandise and ready made clothing, with shelf hardware, dealing also in paint and oils and farm machin- ery.

BURKMERE AND MILLARD.
The stations at Burkmere on the Chicago & North- western railroad, and Millard north of Faulkton on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad have found two almost unsurmountable obstacles to material growth. The surrounding lands have been held largely unimproved and for speculation, and their nearness to Faulkton with her attractive market and social surroundings has proved ob- stacles that could not be overcome. The amount of land that has lately passed into the hands of enterprising and industrious farmers and the large shipments of grain from these stations, is producing a marked change in their im- mediate surroundings, that will invite business industries and the upbuilding of live and prosperous towns.

CHAPTER XXIV CONTINUED.

The village of Seneca is located in the town of Seneca, on the line of the Redfield and Gettysburg branch on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, fifty-four miles west of Redfield and twenty-two miles west of Faulkton, the county seat of Faulk county, and in the center of one of the finest sections of rich agricultural and grazing land to be found in the great northwest. From its location and surroundings, it is, and ever must remain the important business center of western Faulk county.

CHAPTER XXV. FUTURE GROWTH.
The future growth and prosperity of the business cen- ters are dependent here as everywhere upon the law of supply and demand. While the laws of trade give active employment to an army of workers whose many wants must be supplied, it is to the creators of wealth that we must look, and upon them depend for the development and prosperity, that constitute actual advancement and future greatness. To the tiller of the soil-the farmer-must we look and upon him depend for the supplementing of nature's vast resources, in soil, sunshine and climate. Practical illustrations upon every hand shows us that Faulk county stands in the front rank with the class of her citi- zens not only in physical efforts, and in all the departments of labor but in the use of mechanical appliances to produce the most with the least possible expense. The seeder, the header and the steam thresher many times multiplied the labor preformed in former days, as did also the steam breaking outfit, turning from eight to twelve furrows to which is attached a pulverizer, leaving that which one minute before was unbroken prairie, in fine condition for the seeder. It is impossible for us to make at this writing a correct estimate of the amount of virgin prairie that has been transformed into cultivated fields with growing crops since the first of April, A. D. 1909, with the fifty-three of these steam and gasoline outfits, and the many four and six horse teams that have not been idle and which had
184
been depended upon for all the breaking until within the last four years.
We venture the opinion that seventy-five thousand acres is a very conservative estimate. Seventy-five thous- and acres of wheat and flax, more than was produced last year, will go far in placing Faulk county in the front rank among the oldest and most wealthy counties in the state.

FAULKTON CEMENT BLOCK BUILDING FACTORY.
The manufacturing of concrete or cement blocks, one part Portland cement and ten parts sand, has become an established business in this city. A visit to the factory secured the following information from the gentlemanly proprietor, Mr. Vanmeerbeck.
There are now two buildings in the city of Faulkton, a barn owned by Mr. Ernest Hulet and the two story building on the corner of Ninth avenue and Court Street, the first floor of which is occupied by the Faulk county Abstract Company, I. Allen Cornwell manager, and P. H. O'Neil's office. The second floor by the Faulkton Com- mercial Club. Three thousand blocks are now completed towards a building for Mr. A. A. Colgrove, 50 by 100 feet and two stories.
These blocks are 24 inches long, 10 inches wide and 8 inches high, they are in two parts attached by four one- fourth inch wire rods, allowing an air space through the
193
middle of the wall, which will prevent all frost or dampness from the coldest of winter weather or extreme heat in sum1- iner.
The room required for this establishment is 20 by 28 feet with a shed 10 by 20 feet. The machinery used, includ- ing a gasoline engine, costs $700. A very little additional machinery would double the capacity of the factory, which is 70 or 75 blocks per day. As now running it re- quires a crew of three men at a cost of 30 cents per block. With some improvements in location and machinery and on a larger scale, these blocks should be had for $20.00 per hundred and completely displace lumber for the outside wall, if not for the partitions for the most of our buildings, at a much less cost while they would be almost fire proof.

CHAPTER XXVII. SOCIAL ORGANIZATION.
ANCIENT FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS.
Among the first settlers of Dakota Territory were members of this ancient and honorable order. Yet it was not until 1863 that a charter was granted for St. John's Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons at Yankton, under the jurisdiction of the grand lodge of Iowa, with the following list of officers:
Melanhen Hoyt, Master.
Douner T. Bramble, Senior Warden.
John Hutchinson, Junior Warden. Moses K. Kingsbury, Secretary.
George W. Kingsbury, Treasurer.
George N. Proper, Senior Deacon. F. M. Liebach, Junior Deacon. Blight E. Wood, Tyler.
This was followed by Increase Lodge No. 257 at Ver- million in 1869, Elk Point Lodge No. 288 in 1870, Minne- haha Lodge No. 328 at Sioux Falls was instituted that year and in 1875 Silver Star Lodge No. 345 was in- stituted at Canton. Delegates from these five lodges met at the hall of Elk Point Lodge on June 22, 1875, and adopted a constitution and by-laws for a Grand Lodge and petitioned the Grand Lodge of Iowa under whose juris- diction they were acting for authority to organize under a separate jurisdiction.
195
It was not until the spring of 1887 that any decisive steps were taken to organize a Masonic lodge in Faulk county.
The following brethren having obtained their demits from the lodges to which they belonged, received authority to meet and work under a dispensation from the Grand Lodge of Dakota Territory, viz:
Ira C. Adams
Charles W. Dunkel
Roswell Bottum
Edward Ensch
John Butman
Charles H. Gardner
I. Allen Cornwell
Jeremiah H. Howe
John Darby
A. D. Hursh

George A. Morse
Caleb H. Ellis
Charles C. Moulton
John A. Pickler
Donald W. Pillsbury
Tanson O. Sanborn
A. Smith
Frederick Teed
James H. Wallace
Preston H. Wilson
On the 17th of June, 1887, they met at Faulkton and perfected their organization by the election of officers. While working under a dispensation sixteen members were admitted. On June the first, 1888, the Grand Lodge of Dakota Territory granted a charter for Faulkton Lodge No. 95, and on July 5, 1888, the first regular communication was held at which brother James S. Huston, of Redfield Lodge No. 34, having been appointed Deputy Grand Master instituted the lodge and installed its officers. After appoint- ing John A. Pickler Grand Marshall he proceeded to in- stall the following officers, they having been duly elected:
