DAKOTA
a 8hippinT Point.

Pierre is a shipping point for all
Black Hills freight sent over both tho
Chicago & North Western and Chicago,
Milwaukee Il St. Paul Railways. Ship
ments via. the latter line to it's Missouri
River terminus at Chamberlain are sent
up the river to Pierre for trans-shipment
to the Hills. The traffic between
Pierre and Deadwooa is immense. In
the transportation of freight there are
10000 oxen and mules and 1000 men
constantly employed. the tonnage
amounting to about 20, 600, 600 pounds
per annum, and the money annually paid
for freightjpg, amounting to over $500,
600 is expended in Pierre.
Pierre is the headquarters for Military
and Ranch Supplies forwarded by river
to the various forts and military posts
and to different points along the 'tBig
Muddy" where small settlements have
sprung up. Pierre has the trade, alto
gether, of not less than 80, 600 people,
including Indians. q. s. A. Quarter
masters Office, government storehouses,
and offices of Collector of Customs,
and Internal Revenue Collector are To-
Gated here. In the river traffic there
are twenty-five steamers engaged during
the season, plying between Pierre and
points above and below.
Building Activity.
During the past season there was
erected brick courthouse, three brick
business blocks, and over 300 wooden
buildings, involving an expenditure of
over 81, 500, 900. There is now in pro-
cess of erection tho Park Hotel, q brick
structure 100x120, four stories high, and
everything indicates that there will be q
great increase in building during the
year 1884, and there will be an active de-
mand for building material and mechan-
les in all branches of trade.
The first industry established in Pierre
was brick making, of which there was
manufactured last season over 1000, 900
of superior equality, and arrangements
have now been completed to manufact-
ure more than 8, 600, 600 the coming sea-
son. There is great demand here for
iron work, and foundry and machine
shop which could make cast pieces for
buildings, breaking plows for the farm
ers, and do repair work on implements
and steamboats,, would do very profit
able business.

EFRE,

a Manufacturing Business
can easily be established at Pierre, ow-
ing to the low freight rates obtained,
competition between river and railroad
transportation, the abundance OF wood,
which is now selling for 81 a cord, and
the immense quantity of coal and other
raw material in the adjacent reservation
west of the river.
a jobbing Trade
has already eendeveloped by Pierre mer-
chants with the Black Hills and the
country up and down the river, and
with a lower rate of freight than can be
obtained at Watertown or Huron, or
any other point in South Central Dako-
ia, and being the only railroad point on
the boundary of the reservation soon to
be opened, Pierre is destined to become q
great jobbing center.
Activity in Real Estate
began last year and more sales were
made than in the previous two years e1
the city's growth, and there has been q
healthful, gradual advance in the prica
of city property, and every one has made
money by operating in real estate. The
indications point to an early springs
business and an advance in prices.

PEACE.
BY SUSANNA G..

o world, great world, with all thy busy days !.
And rushing tides that fill thy broad highways,
Thy varied merchandise and costly show,
What is the greatest gift thou canst bestow?
Q Life, with all thy striving and thy schemes,
Thy fond desires and ever changing dreams,
What wilt thou give us for our eager quest?
What are the choicest treasures? Peace and rest
But peace by striving only may be won
The sure reward OF duty bravely done;
And those who labor and endure best,
After long toll, shall know the sweetest rest.

(From the San Francisco Post.J
Mr.. Boody defaulted to the extent
of $1,485, all the funds of the corpora
ton in his hands. As this, however,
was undoubtedly too modest rehypoth-
ecation to insure the respectful len

decided upon suicide as the most fitting
thing to be done under the circum-
stances. He accordingly jumped off
the Alameda wharf last Thursday even
ing, after first hitching q bag of quail
shot to his left ankle. Unfortunately
for the romance of the situation, he
dived off at the shallowest part of the
creek, and the next morning was dis
covered by the passengers on the early
boat sitting solemnly on his bag of shot,
waiting for the tide to rise. He was
accordingly hauled ashore, much to his
disgust, and handed over to the first
policeman who could be awakened,
to await his trial.
