CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., May 21.-
Chamberlain is just now on the eve or
a wonderful season of prosperity, and
much more confidence is felt in the
speedy opening of the reservation this
wear than was felt previous to the az
rival of the Sioux commission last year.
In consequence of this feeling OF Sc
eurity great many of our citizens are
purchasing property, real estate, etc.,
and are preparing to erect substantial
buildings. A number of dwelling
houses are now being built in different
portions of the city, and ground is be-
ing broken for others. Graders are at
work grading residence property,
streets, etc., and numerous improve
mentS are being made on residences and
grounds. Several new additions to the
city have been plated on the south
and east, and surveyors are now
new additions are being sold very fast
to people here and in different sections
of South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa.
A syndicate from Lincoln, Neb., a short
time ago purchased land south of the
city. plated it, and are now selling lots
at very rapid rate. The land south,
east and north of the city is all deslra-
BILE residence property, being level land
like the plateau this city is located on,
the plateau extending some distance III
the directions indicated until it reaches
the prairie. The syndicate of Chamber
lain gentlemen, who purchased resi-
ience property south of the city a short
time ago for $4,000, have plated the
land and will soon begin selling lots.
What Chamberlain most desires to Sc
cure
ARE MANUFACTURERS.
We have an excellent location for any
thing of this description. and with the
water power and commanding position
of the city DO other town in South Da-
kota affords the facilities for maDufac-
lures that Chamberlain does. Ground
will be given free to any firm of any
description who desires it for the above
purpose. A brick manufacturer from
MankatO, Minn.. is now here, having
secured ground for the purpose, and has
begun making brick; several OF our cit
iZens already contemplating erecting
brick business houses. An Iowa agrl-
cultural implement firm visited the city
a short time ago and were highly pleased
with the location of Chamberlain and
stated that when it was definitely set
tied that
THE RESERVATION
would open they would remove their
manufactOry here and endeavor to sup
ply the country west of here when set
tied with their implements. Of course,
the substantial prosperity of the city will
not commence until the Indians have
signed in favor of the cession of por-
ton OF their reservation, but as there
seems to be no reasonable doubt but
that they will sign the day of solid and
continued prosperity is near at hand:
Now let the Sioux commission succeed
in getting the signatures at the first
agency visited and the influx to South
Dakota will commence. The first
agency visited will tell, more or less,
what can be expected at the other
agencies, as the Sioux have long ago
decided to either cede portion of the
reservation or keep it. and the action of
the Indians first visited will virtually
decide the question.
