other permanent investments, natural.
! ly inspire strangers with confidence in
the place and lead them to come and do
likewise. The citizens say they believe
Cedar Falls is destined to be the most
important manufacturing city in Iowa,
and for proof of their belief merely refer
to the great natural advantages afforded,
and their own good works, speaking so
much more forcible than words. 1t is
quite safe to judge place of the age OF
this by what its people think and what
1T is evident they do think by what
they are actually doing. "By their
works ye shall know them"
BUILDINGS NOW BEING ERECTED.
We have stated, number of times
lately, that there was a great deal OF
building being done in Cedar Falls this
SPRING; and, on one OCCASION, said that
we thought there were as many as sew
enty-five in process of construction. We
find that the number is even larger than
we had estimated, and such sort of mis-
takes are not common to country edit
ors. We have been to much pains to
procure list, as correct as possible,
showing the number of buildings now
under way, the size of each, and by
whom being built. We, up to the hour
ofgoing to press, kept hearing of new
buildings; and there is no sort of doubt
that complete list would considerably
increase the number. There are a good
many shanties put up for temporary oc-
cupancy, of which we have made no ac-
count. Carpenters and joincrs, brick
layers, masons and plasterers, rs will
readily be conceded, are in active de-
mand, and they all find themselves
crowded with work. We cannot close
this article more fittlngly than by Civ
Ing the list. 1t will serve as q clincher
to what has been written before, as 1t
carries with it abundant evidence Of the
prosperity and rapid growth Of Cedar
Falls. Here is the eloquent list:
