with no ayantage of transportation except
one railroad twenty-eight miles long, what
may il in reason be expected TO do when 1t
has four railways running into lt--oDe, the
shortest direct north and south hne, ana

no BooMS.
They appreciate that they have gotta very
strong position and that they can de
velop il. and so they have no idea OF risk-
ing It on a boom, because booms collapse,
but they are availing themselves OF the
nammon of real estate activity and have
organized already five strong companies
that will develop tho cardinal outskirts OF
the town and one the vacant lots IN the
town. There is in process Of formation a
company for building houses. which VIII
have ample capital. This has been found
necessary TO furnish the necessary d0mi-
ellis to applicants.
GOING AHEAD.
Last year over $500, 900 was spent IN
building houses and factories. l know of
one contract now that requires 1,2OO,OO0
brick. and the West-End hotel will cost
800. 600 complete and will be opened Octo-
fober /. 1891. This will give your readers
who do not already know an idea Of what
town they have IN q couple OF hundred
miles of them and one that they will do
well to cultivate and cultivate carefully.
