IMPROVEMENTS.
The improvements that have been made in
| the village during the past year, and those
projected are of an extensive character. There
| are three churches, Methodist, Baptist and
Congregational, in which services are regu-
larly held every Sunday. The village is also
happy in the possession of an elegant school
building, which was erected at cost of
| 5000. 1t is equipped with all the modern
aids to instruction and is supplied with good
teachers. The manufacturing interests are
represented by steam furniture factory, two
stories in height, 22x64 feet in size. There is
also good public hall, an excellent hotel and
| spirited weekly newspaper. The latter, the
| Sabnuor Enterprise, of which Mr.. William
Kean is proprietor. is a well conducted jour-
nal that has an increasing circulation. Mr..
j. L. Wilcox keeps the hotel, which is known
as the Sanborn house. 1t is S6x76 feet, with
an addition 45x30 feet, in size, two stories in
heigth. 1t is well furnished much better
than most western hotels, and the table is
supplied with the best the market affords.
Sanborn is fortunate in>the possession of such
carefully kept house, for many people gain
their impression of place by the nicely with
which its hotels are kept Among the i'm
prOvements soon to be effected, is the erection
of a Masonic hall, which will be finished in
about sixty days. The medical, dental and
legal professions are well represented. From
the above it will be seen that Sanborn DOS.

with great future as the center of pros
porous farming country, the distributing
point of supplies for populous region, the
focus of trade and commercial and mauufac-
turing activity. Its prospects are based upon
solid foundations. Nature has done all in her
power by the plentiful abundance of her rich
gifts to make it one of the most desirable
places of residence on the continent, both for
health and the successful prosecution of bust
ness and the pursuit of happiness. It's present

Portable surroundings. The town was first
laid out and plated by the firm of George L.
Lehman & Co., on December 6, 1879. In
August, 1880, the present aourishing village
had as it's germs of future existence the rail-
road depot, the store of George L. Lehman &
Co., with then as now, Mr.. Louis s. Lenham,
post master, a blacksmith shop and four dwell
ing houses. The rapid growth that has taken
place since then has been made in accordance
with natural causes, as already indicated.
Since the original town site was laid cut, by

additions plated. Barnum's addition was
made in 1881, and Lehman & Gallinger's
followed soon after. Next came that of Pease
& Zingg. Recently Morton's new addition has
been plated. The latter adjoins the original
town site, and is one of the best. as we'll as
largest of the additions. Pease & Zingg's adj
dition also adjoins the original town site. 1t
is on the north and is one of the most popular
of the additions. The latter is well situated
for residence purposes.
Real estate has constantly advanced in
price. Some of the business lots in the orig
inal site have advanced five fold. This ad-
vance in the valne of property is entirely ow-
ing to the town being the natural wheat Gen.

In this connection it should be sta ted that in
addition to the natural advantages offered by
this fertile region there is another advantage
that operates to the signal benefit of sci

George L. Lehman & Co have adopted very
liberal policy IN their dealings with that class
of people. Being possessed of ample financial
resources and wishing to aid in the settlement
of the country by all means within their pow
err, they have made it rule to extend help
ing hand to all who need it. The settler can
obtain from them everything he needs, se:d
for his farm, the lumber for his buildings, all
his provisions and other supplies. In fact
they will arrange with him for everything he
may require and wait for their pay

has had helping hand extended to him, thus
enabling him to secure a comfortable home,
and become at the same time instrumental in
developing the country. This is practice
that is worthy of being initiated by people of
means in other parts of the country. 1t is
practical philanthropy, true benevolence, and
at the same time good business principle, as
those thus aided remain friends of the firm
for life.
With climate of great salubrity, abundance
of pure water, easily obtained, soil of mag
nifcent fertility, the presence of good educa-
tional, religious and social advantages far in
advance of the majority of small towns, it
would be impossible to find more eligible
place for settlement, either for the cultivation
of the soil or for the engagement in mercan-
tile enterprises, than SanbOrn, and the country
tributary to it. It is region destined to
support and enrich dense population, RAG.
