WATER STREET,
The Time is Auspicious for the Improve
ment of That Thoroughfare.

The Time is Auspicious for the Improve
ment of That Thoroughfare.
There are two improvements which
might be made by Council and the b.
p. w. which would be particularly
gratifying to a large number of citi-
zens, and particularly business and
river men,
These are: the grading and paving
with brick of Water street, between
Fourteenth and Eleventh streets, and
the improvement of that portion of the
public wharf lying south of the south
line of Twelfth street.
Water street between the points
named has received little attention for
a good many years, and from Twelfth
street north to the bend in Eleventh
street, the street has not been particu-
larly improved by the great changes
made by the railroad improvements.
From the Hotel Windsor alley north the
grade of the street should be changed
from the old-time inclination towards
the river to a fiat surface, the reason for
the dip to the west having disappeared
with the cutting off of that part of the
street by the railroad The remainder
of the street, towards the south, could
also have the grade changed to advan-
tage, and then the whole ought TO be
paved with brick. AS for the south
portion of the wharf, it has not only
been a disgrace to the city about long
enough, but the additional room is
needed by the steamboat interests,
which will be cramped at the upper end
of the paved portion of the wharf when
the river is up to anything like a good
stage. A move in either or both of
these directions by the city would be
generally applauded

FIatterinr Crop Prospects,

Aberdeen, s. D., April pa trip Of
several days throughout the counties in
the northern portion of the state, Is
enough 10 convince the most skeptical
OF the fiattering prospects for a good
season. The crops are looking fine in
all directions. and at least two weeks
ahead OF last season. On every hand
the farmer Is busy and in very many
Of the localities creameries will soon
be ready for operation, but only in a
few instances will they be anything but
upon a small scale. This will be much
better for all concerned and the true
merits OF the dairy industry along with
diversification will be thoroughly test
ed. Everybody seems hopeful at the
signs of the future, from a crop stand
point. In fact it Is this h~opefulness
that has saved many a settler to the
country. The Russian cactus is max
ing IT'S appearance and its effect upon
the growing crop will be watched with
more than ordinary interest. The grass
is good and early grazing is showing
its effect upon the stock out on the
ranges. In short, If present indica-
tons count for anything. South Dakota
