The Times announces a new two channel expansion and a forthcoming column on early-day events. The note signals ongoing efforts to broaden coverage and provide readers with fresh historical perspectives.
The Graettinger historical column recalls pioneer figures like Bir Brekke, who helped organize the local Lutheran church in 1891 and served as road supervisor. It details early street and road layouts, shifts in business ventures from Iverson to Hovland and Hegland, and the evolution of shops, a hardware store, a chicken-picking establishment, and the Graettinger Nursery. It notes E. S. George arrived May 10, 1892, and press mentions of livery barns, post office moves, and early fire wells on Malo Street, with residents like B. Jackson and J. Jacobsen beginning new lives in 1892.
In the account, Mr Mylore recalls a Poulsen fire days before a blaze, after leaving a building east of the Paulkan Furniture store planned as a barber shop. The same building had housed the McBride Sisters memorial parlor, with Mr Myhre involved in cleaning the interior and rent noted at 36 dollars monthly.
