HURON, OAK, Dec. 2I.-The last was
a busy week i'll Huron. Real estate
transfers were quite numerous. and
business of every kind was unusually
good-better than for any single week
in several months. The unusually large
number of arrivals at hotels and the
numerous strangers on the streets in-
dictate that people in the states are
again looking toward and coming to
Dakota-a very large per cent of them
stopping in Huron. While not all who
come take up their permanent

city. its beautiful location; grand
brick business houses filled with
immense stocks of every kind Of mer-
chandiSe; spacious private residences,
magnificent brick school buildings con-
tanning nearly 700 pupils, presided over
by fourteen of as competent instructors
as can be found in any city: splendid
church edifices, in which hundreds OF
representatives of the various Christian
denominations worship every Sunday
in the year; streets broad and smooth,
with substantial plank sidewalks and
shade trees on either side: drainage
and water system, with hydrants and
drinking fountains at frequent intervals
unelualed by

ment to town of 50.000peOple: Touring

abide here forever and be numbered
with the most enterprising. intelligent,
ambitious and happy people that dwell
in any city on earth. Huron is taking
A NEW START,
and everything bids fair for a remarka-
bic growth in the next twelve months.
A number of enterprises are already
under way that will bring scores of fam
lilies here to live, while there will GER
tainly be large influx of farmers from
all parts of the East and from foreign
countries early in the spring. X. w.
Thompson has been sent to Wales and
will return here by the middle of March
with one hundred families from there.
These families will locate on land in
this immediate vicinity and will have
everything ready for them to put in
crops the coming season. Arrange
ments for colonies from Michigan, Hi
nois and Indiana are now being made.
Hundreds of letters of inquiry are re-
ceived from Eastern parties inquiring
about Dakota land, stock raising, ETC.,
intimating the desire of the writer's to
come here. While real estate is already
in brisk demand there is no disposition
on the part of the owners 70 fix fancy
prices. Those who are DESTROYS of sell
ing want only fair figures; these they
will easily get. There never has been
a more favorable outlook for this part
of Dakota than the present.
