ises, at no distant day, to become a
great shipping point for cattle from
the great Southern range, and of the
immense crops raised North and
East. The town-site of Dickinson is
very good. The ground on the out
skirts of the town gradually slopes to
the south, givinga Il fine opportunity
for drainage, and making it a first
class location. The buildings so far
erected are of Il permanent order. and

commodious round-house and shops.
1T is the county seat of Stark county.
Several thousand acres of land We're
put differentiation last Spring, and
the number of many thousand acres
in addition will be turned during the
year. Several contracts for the

III the outlying country. The coal
beds Il short distance from Dickinson

the settlers. For building material
there is ample provision in a superior
quality of clay for brick-making and
a fine grade of sandstone. Mr.. Rea,
the United States Land Register of
Bismarck, is erecting fine bank
building at Dickinson, and another
heavy private banking firm is soon to
he organized. Four lots have also
been reserved for the construction of

that many more projected enterprises
will be pushed to an early completion.
