How is this for a Yearlingi

With th is week 8 issue of the PRESS
the town of Dickinson enters on it's
second year, the first lot having been
sold one year ago yesterday. Great
changes and vast Improvements have
been made during that time. 1t may
not be out Of place to review the
progress made during the first year of
our existence as town. A year ago
the town was not much more than
way station with scarcely fifty inhab-
itants and not more than dozen
shacks and buildings. The railroad
company have made improvements
amounting to nearly 100000. They
consist of round house, machine and
repair shops, coal sheds, water tanks.
stock yaris and numerous minor i'm
provemerlts, all of which are nearly
completed. The population has in
creased to about eight hundred. A
hundred or more new buildings have
gone up, among them several fine
business houses and two good hotels.
This building and improvement still
continues; in legitimate and SUBJ
stantial manner. Dickinson is enjoy
ing a Large and increasing trade.
Tributary is a large and fertile farm
ing and stock raising country which
is filling, up and being settled by a
farming and stock raising population
which will support the town in it's
growth. This is not all. The freight
line to the Black Hills will still fur
ther increase the business and will
almost assure a railroad to Deadwood.
From its location, Dickinson will
some day become the great railroad
centre for the West Missouri country.
In the past year it has been made the
county seat of Stark county which
has within its borders several other
prosperous towns, such as Gladstone,
Richardton and Taylor. The loca-
tion of the county seat here gives us
the advantages which accrue from
Capitalization. The majority of our
citizens have the utmost faith and
confidence in the future prosperity
and greatness of Dickinson. The
prosperity of a local paper is gener-
ally an Indication of the prosperity
of town. Such is a brief resume of
what has been done in Dickinson in
the way of Improvements during the
past year and with the bright pros
poets now before us the second ami.
versary of Dickinson progress will
mark changes more wonderful than
even the most sanguine now antici.

No one was injured.
