H.J. Austin, of Vermillion, who was
in Yanktcn yesterday, expects to resume
work on his surveying contract in the
Lower Brnle r~eservatlon about the first
of April. Mr. Austin is sanguine oi
better progress during his coming work
than was made last summer. His first
work covered the rougher portion Of the
country denoted in h1a CONTRACT and
progress was necessarily. slow. Last
season, too, he was bothered by Indians,
ind he expects to penetrate this season
. country where he will not meet SO
many red men. He hopes to complete
the work about the last of August.
For many years the chief effort of our
city has bean to induce outside capital
to come in and help build us mp. We
have an agent IN the east hired to solicit
eastern capital for investment in various
enterprises for the development of our
resources. Through his efforts twenty
Thousand dollars has been secured and
invested in an electric light plant. 1t
is o proposed by q few members Of
the city council to deny these capitalists
the RI light to invest their money for the
benefit of Yankton n the improve
ment of it's property. II 10 time for the
property owners 30 say that this des-
tsuotive policy shall no longer prevail,
We are on the edge of a boom. We do
not wanti it upset.
