SIOUX FALLS May 2S.-From the summit
Of the bluff west of Siox Falls the view is one
OF surprising beauty. At your feet lies the
city with its capacious streets, its compact
rows OF business houses, its buZZing of saw
mills and factories. On the opposite blu1f
mile away is the deaf and dumb asylum; to
your right the Episcopal seminary, a beauti-
ful structure. On your left stretches one OF
the iovliest valleys in the world. Winding
along like great silvery serpent is the Sioux
river, now hidden by the trees that skirt its
banks now leaping into the sunshine, dashing
down over the rocks with Il mad roar and now
hiding away among the distant hills. The
Queen City boat club is fitting up new boat
house, and is about ready for the seasons
sport. a fine base ball park is now in readi-
ness tor business, and thesporting fraternity
OF the city think they have team able to
cope with anything in the territory. Geo.

opera company were married in this city on

high an will be one of the most complete es-
Establishments in the West The two daily
papers published in Sioux City-the Argus
and Pressure model of Journalistic enter
prise aud are keeping pace with the growth
of the city. The two leading hotels of the
city are the Commercial and the Cataract.
Under the management of Mr. Len J. Clark
the former establishment has bee ONE one of
the most popular in the territory. The at
mosphere must be decidedly cool when Clark

road will enter Sioux Falls, adding to it's

ing the coming year.. Mr.. Richard Rynes
OF the Dakota Insurance company proposes
to erect $4,000 dwelling on the corner lot
south of A. G. Phillips. Applications for
information concerning the Sioux Falls stone
are being received daily from contractors in
all parts of the country ...Messrs. McBain g.

contract with one Of the railroad companies
for 200 carloads of blocks for ST. Louis
A committee of gentlemen went last week to
confer with the directors Of the proposed rail
road which will connect Sioux Falls with Du-
luth. They return with the impression that
the road can be secured if q reasonable effort
is made. This road will give this City the adj
vantage of cheap transportation, placing her
in direct connection with the great chain of
lakes and giving her many advantages that
have made st. Paul and Minneapolis great
jobbing centers. Cities with fewer natural
advantages than this have become
great manufacturing and iobbing
centers, and with the splendid
water power this city has, there is no reason
whyit should not take its place among the
most prominent wholesale, manufacturing
and distributing centers in the Northwest. 49,.
The island near the city is used for a park
and with very little labor and expense could
be made lovely resort. The water works
system OF the city is equal to that of any CITY
in the territory. The streets are lighted with

houses with gas. ."Satan B." q bay gelding,
