BRAINERD, Mimi, April 1.-The final
passage through both houses of congress of
the Brainerd dam bill makes the especial
boom anticipated for this city an actual
reality. Brainerd already has many adj
vantages. which have in a few years made
a CITY of s. 900 where before was pine
forest, but her greatest strides are yet 10
come, and every property owner and every
resident is jubilant over the prospect. The
fire in the Northern Pacific shops last Sum
day, which at first had de-
pressing effect, like all things else
which come to Brainerd seems to
rebound to our advancement. The shops
which remain are built of brick and will
afford employment for all of the men here
tofore engaged, while the burned district
will be speedily reOecupied with brick and
stone buildings for additional shops. The
railroad company improves the seeming
disaster to largely increase its plant and
where 900 men are now employed 1000
will be called into requisition as soon as
THE NEW BUILDINGS
are completed. for which plans are already
being drawn. Two days later comes the
final passage of the dam bill. which settles
the destiny of Brainerd as a great manu-
featuring city. The dam is to be thrown
across the river at point which
is in the very heart of the city and
the mill sites will be so located that rail-
road tracks will be run to the very doors of
the manufacturing establishments to facili-
tate their business. The dam company is
prepared to push this work to completion
with great rapIdity. and it proposes to alb
Solutely give mill sites and perpetual power
to those who Will locate here and erect
mills or other manufacturing establish

country to show the counterpart of such an

ment our people feel that the development
of this city has only just begun. and no
stranger visits us who does not fully appre-
ciate the situation. NOrthward the star of
destiny takes it's way until Brainerd is
reached, and there it halts. for there the
star city of the North stands in all its
glory, with its destiny secured and assured.
