The pride of the city of Bismarck is her solid
and substantial brick buildings, all but one of
which were erected during the year 1883, and
which will be succeeded by as many more during
the present year, the plans for which are already
drawn. and in one or two instances work has
been commenced. The new brick buildings for
1884 will include two hotels, livery stable

which Is visible for miles, This is fully described
elsewhere and further mention is not necessary.
Next of Importance comes the territorial peni-
tentiary, located mile east of the city, and
erected at q cost of $4,000. The new high
school, just completed at cost of $50, 600, occu
pies commanding position midway between

Bismarck Water Works.

Hon. Alex Mckenzie and r. B. Mellon of
Bismarck are now in the east for the purpose of
purchasing Worthington pump and 800 tons
of wster mains, and are under contract to fur
nish Bismarck with complete system of water
works by the first day of July 1884. The
ground, eighteen acres, near the bridge, has
been secured, the survey for the mains made
and acti7e work will begin as soon as the frost
is out of the ground. Not only will the terms
of the ordinance and franchise be compile
with, but larger mains will be put in and
the branches extended northward two blocks
further than called for. An engine house, will
be required 30xl00 of brick with iron roof. The
water will be pumped from the river into
large reservoirs and after it has thoroughly
settled will be distributed by mains to all parts
of the city. The original intention was to put
in mains on Main sGreet as far east as Tenth
street and on seven or eight of the streets,
but in addition to this it has been decided to
cross the railroad rigst Of way and put in at
least half mile on the south side Of the track.
1t is also intended to have the mains 80 ar
ranged that direct pressure can be had in case
or fire, if desired, although the force obtained
from the reservoir $50 feet above the city will
be sufficient for ordinary purposes. The works
will cost 100000 when completed July lst,

The Marquis Enterprise.

Marquis de Mores, the millionaire Frenchman,
who has been investing so much capital in cattle,
slaughtering houses and lands on the line Of the
Northern Pacific railroad, is making Bismarck q
central point for his operations. He has erected
a cold storage house and ice house for the &C.
commodation of the large dressed beef, fish and
butter trade that he will do here. His ice house
contains fifteen hundred tons. The Marquis
owns sixteen thousand acres of land northeast of
Bismarck that he will put under cultivation aa
soon as practicable. The present season he will
break three thousand acres, and through his
local attorneys, Allen and Barnes, will offer in
ducements to settlers on the adjoining govern
ment lands. He will rent the plowed land in
tracts of 80 acres and encourage small farmers.
He means immediate development. The push
ing Frenchman is also a heavy stockholder and
officer of the Bismarck loan and trust company
and is at this time in New York city, inviting
capital on large scale to come to Bismarck and
Dakota and spread itself over our fertile prai-
ries. His operations extend from Portland to
st. Paul. His attorneys live here, and the Sec
retary's cflce of the Refrigerator Car company,
his largest interest, is in Bismarck. The capi-
talization of this company is five million dol.
lars.

Kidder County.

Kidder county, which adjoins Burleigh county
on the east, is one of the most fertile and pros
porous in North Dakota. To the seekers for
new homes Kidder county off ars unusual attrac-
tions in fine farming lands, good schools, pure
water and hourishing towns, of which Steele, the
county seat, is the chief. The first attempt at
agricultural development in the county was in
1878, when W. F. Steele had 400 acres of break
ing done. In 1879 Mr.. John Van Deusen broke
1900 acres on the Troy farm. During tho
years 1902 the Steele farm had 700 acres un-
der cultivation, the Troy farm 1900 acres, and
other settlers 1890 acres, making total of
$500 acres In the year 1883 alone 10000 acres
were broken, or nearly twice as much as during
the three previous years, and this amount will
probably be doubled next year. Over 400 farm
houses we're erected in Kidder county in 1883
and the city of Steele and other towns had
most wonderful and rapid growth. The hay
product of the county for 1883 was 4 600 tons,
of which $500 tons were shipped to Fort Keogh
Montana.

Bate City and Wickes for use in the ore roast
ing process and is admirably adapted to that pur-
pose and viii be used throughout the mining
districts of Montana as rapidly as they can be
reached by railroad communication. This coal
is also used in locomotives and is shipped as far
east as Moorhead and, az tar west US Butte City.
The company has orders for 1900 tons from one
firm in Butte alone. The Ignite mines at Sims,
Dakota, Little Missouri, aud Ignite station.
are also producing we'll. About 100 tons are be-
ing taken out daily at Lignite, and from 100 to
200 tons daily at Little Missouri or Medora.
This is largely consumed by settlers along the
line and is utilized with other ccal for generating
steam for motive power in the operation of
the road. When used with Bozeman bitumi-
nous coal the Ignite is we'll adapted to this pur-
pose and is great saving in expense of opera
ting the great trans continental line.
