SOME OF YANKTON's INSTITUTIONS.
Yankton may we'll feel proud of her
achievements already noted, and the
institutions erected by her own enter.
prise are deserving Of o more extended
review than could be undertaken in this
letter. But wish TO speak particularly
of few things.
The pork packing house which is being.
built almost entirely by home capital, is
to cost $4,000, and will begin operations
this fall with capacity OF 500 hogs
daily: The total capacity of the pack
ing house will be 1000 hogs daily, q
limit that will be reached in due time.
The building is of brick, three stories
and basement. The directors are w. Il.
b. Beadle, G. ]. B. Harris, J. E. Bruce,
and T. J. Goldman, the latter being the
superintendent in charge. This establish.
ment will be of untold advantage to the
city of Yankton.
The Yankton wooden mill is greater
success this season than last. Its pro-
duct, in hannels and yarns, goes to
points in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Mime
sofa. The wool buyer and general Office
manager of the concern Is an energetic
young woman, Miss Kate Engle, who
does the work of two men, in the opinion
of Mr.. 9. A. Wheeler, her employer.
The Yankton soap works, since the
interest taken and capital invested by
the entelprising wholesale firm of Adler
4 Gilman, has proven great success.
Yankton soap is now sold all over
southern Dakota.
WATER woRKS-YAEKToN COLLEGE.
The new waterworks, operated by the
reservoir system and supplied by artesian
wells, are giving universal satisfaction.
With the newly organized and equipped
fire department such thing as an
extensive conhagration is out OF the
question.
The Congregational college, under the
presidency of that eminent divine and
distinguished Dakotaian, the Rev. DR..
Joseph Ward, is meeting with the sub
stantial encouragement of success. DIR
Ward is one of the leaders of the popu.
lar movement on this soil for separate
statehood, and is likewise an educator
and exemplar, under whose adminlstra.
