DORCHESTER
Dorchester lies between the Eau Pleine river three miles to the east and Poplar river a like distance to lie west, being on the water shed, one stream flowing into the Wisconsin river and the other being a part of the Black river system. It is on the Soo line and at one time was an important mill town, but in later years prospers as the center of a rich farming community. It has a population of about 600, and is one of the thrifty and progressive towns the northeastern corner of the county, two miles from one county, one and a half mile from another. The village is especially proud at present of its new grade school building, a cut of which is published herewith, erected at a cost of $12,000, 45 x 78 feet in dimensions, two story and basement.
Haying time in Upper Clark County.
