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 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 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.
