CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Aug. 21.-The
advance guard of prosperity is already
felt here, and the early opening of H.
100000 acres of the Sioux reservation is
causing brisk advance in all classes Of
business. Real estate is in great de-
mand, and every incoming train brings
capitalists from various parts of South
Dakota and surrounding states, who
come here for the purpose of procuring
real estate of any description which
can yet be purchased at reasonable fig
ures. Acreage property is also much
sought after, and several large tracts
have lately changed hands, the owners
intending to plat the land and place it
upon the market. Lots are now being
sold very rapidly in two or three addi-
lions to the city. The president of the
Milwaukee system Of railroads owns a
choice tract of land on fiat about three
fourths of mile east Of the Missouri
river. which he intends to plat at an
early date and put on sale. Building
operations have also commenced in
earnest, and number OF buildings are
now in course of construction. Good
residence buildings are hard to secure,
as there are but few vacant dwellings
in the city, and large number must be
erected at once to accommodate those
who are daily arriving with the inten-
uion of locating permanently in the
city. Rents are advancing, and owners
of residences realize from
FORTY TO SIXTY PER CENT
on their investments. The building
boom, when it fairly commences, will
be enormous. and carpenters and other
workmen will have sufficient employ
ment to last them for months. A new
hotel, to cost in the neighbOrhOod OF
$4,000, is being talked of, but is not yet
certainty: The city already. has three
house and Commercial h0tel-but the
fourth one profitable. The favorable
and beautiful location of Chamberlain
at once attracts the eye of every WIS.,
itor, and all are loud in their opinion
that Chamberlain will yet become one
of the most beautiful and fourishing
cities in South Dakota. Our business
men realize that the fight for the solid
upbuilding of the city has but COM
menced, but they will prove equal to
the occasion and no effort or expense
will be spared to speedily put Chamber
lain on safe and substantial founda-
ton. Manufacturers looking up loca-
tions have visited the city and several
have stated that they will locate here as
soon as the land west of us is opened for
settlement.
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
are what make town, and Chamber
lain intends to have an abundant supply
of them within the next year, as she has
excellent water and other facilities and
will give substantial encouragement to
any manufacturing concern. The rush
to the reservation has not yet set in in
earnest, but few prairie schooners
have struggled in to await the opening.
Although the crowd intending to locate
on these lands will be larger than that
which went to Oklahoma last spring it
is believed that they will be much more
orderly and the rush will be steadier.
A lieutenant with small detail of SOL
diers from Fort Sully has just completed
a patrol of the reservation border and
reports everything quiet. They have
now returned to Fort Sully to await
furthOr orders.
