Il Webster block, Kelleher & Nickeus
block. Lloyd Il McClintock block, are all
magnificent brick structures, with large,
cheerful store rooms below and the upper
apartments used for offices. In these new
buildings multiplicity OF business is
transacted. The stores are large and
pleasant, and are literally packed

jamestown lies in the midst of a rich ag-
Ficultural district, and from its natural To-
cation is destined to become great COM
mercial and railroad center, being the south
ern terminus of The jamestown Northern
railway, which leads into the great and COM
paratively unexplored countries, the Mouse
river and Devils lake The James River
Valley railroad just completed to La Moure.
Thus it can be seen that Jamestown, being
located on the main line of the Northern Pa
ci6c, is the center through which the tide
of emigration must flow. and without a
doubt the market place and supplying point
for all this rich agricultural district, Capital

here would succeed, as there is nothing of
that kind carried on very extensively.

mill, sash and door factory. two extensive
breweries, cigar factories and other of
minor importance. The financial institu-
lions of the city are two national banks and

schools are equal to those in the East. Our
churches are neat and coy, almost every
denomination represented here has erected

Tantages, with its handsome streets, public
buildings and private residences, with its
efined and intelligent class of people, its
desirable location, certainly offers great in
1ueementS to settlers, many of whom have
come from the East and settled here dur
ing the past year. A number of societies
have been organized which give opportuni-
ties for intellectual Improvement, such as
a literary society, dramatic clubs, temper

which are well patronized and highly ap-
preciated by the intelligent class of people
