Orient Town

Pioneer

Orient is located in the southeast corner of Orient township, 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 machin-

Burkmere And Millard

The stations at Burkmere on the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, and Millard north of Faulkton on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad have found two almost unsurmoun table 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 obstacles 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 immediate surroundings, that will invite business industries and the upbuilding of live and prosperous towns.
