Not only does Lake county afford am
PIE opportunities for successful employ
ment of capital in agricultural pursuits
and investments, but the city of Maids
on offers equally as attractive invest
ments in many directions. Particular
ly is this true OF investments in manu-
featuring, such as the preparation OF
cereals for food products; the manufac.
ture OF flax fiber (of which we raise a
large amount every year, into Irvine,
rope and cloth; the production OF starch
from potatoes which We raise so album
dainty that frequently, as was the case
last season, thousands of bushels go to
waste on the ground; the manufacture
of wrapping paper from the abundance
of straw which now goes to waste every
year. la fact there are many lines OF
manufacture which could be carried on
successfully here. and utilize raw mate
rial produced here which is now Of little
or no value. Wrapping paper is now
made in the eastern states from straw
which is worth from Sl5 to 800 per ton,
and the product after passing through
the hands OF several middlemen, and
shipped here, is sold to our merchants,
when e~vually as good paper can be made
from our waste straw which is worth
practically nothing, and the profits of
the middlemen, and heavy expenses of
shipping. saved.
The monopoly of manufacturing which
has SO long been enjoyed by the east,
must gradually give way to be shared
with the west, and the pioneers in these
directions will reap the greatest rewards.
From a social standpoint, Madison has

YOU will find a school house wherever
there is settlement, with school at least
six months during the year, ard in most
cases ten months.
Although South Dakota has been a
state only seven years, she has a State
University, State Agricultural college,
two State Normal schools, ard Deaf
and Dumb school. each having substan-
tial. stone and brick, modern construct

professors of high standing, and each are
occupied TO their full capacity. Besides
these schools Of higher education sup

nominational schools, such as the Pres

Baptist college, Iankton college, All
Saints school, and many others.

Madison and Lake county offer par

70 superior. Her citizens are highly
intellectual and progressive, and there
would be no surrender OF social priv
leges on the part of anyone by a removal
here. Internationally Madison takes a
leading position among the young cities
of the west. She has excellent public
graded schools. High school, and a pri-
vate kindergarten school, and is also
where some 800 students from all por'
tons of the eastern half OF the state are
in attendance ten months OF the year
These advantages will be appreciated by
the intelligent homeseeker. Our schools
have already done much in the way OF
attracting the best class of people, and
they have exerted a broad influence in
moulding current public opinion.
From a religious standpoint, Madison
offers exceptional inducements. She
already has nine churches, representing
as many different denominations, all be-
ing comfortable, modern structures, one
of them a stone and one a brick.
The permanency of Madison is shown
by her many fine buildings, among
those constructed Of quartzite or rec
sandstone being the State Normal col
lege, a four story building costing $54,
600. the Lake Park hotel, also a four
story building, Episcopal church, Syn
dictate block, and several other business
houses. The prominent brick struc
lures are the Lake county court house
High school, Central block, and Other
business houses.
Although only l6 years old, Madison
contains nearly 1900 people. She has
no competitor from a business stand
point nearer than so miles, hence sh'
enjoys a large, lucrative trade, which ],
increasing with the development OF thu
country.
1t would be doing Injustice to THU
city and county to not give prominence
to that grand institution located on tn
shores Of Lake Madison, about three
miles from the city, the Lake Madison

etc, These grounds are connected with
the city by means of q steam motor line.
Two or three weeks sessions are held
each year, at which some Of the most
prominent speakers Of the country ap-
pear, and the advantages Of the lectures
by these noted speakers are enjoyed by
people from all over the state, as we'll as
from western Iowa and Minnesota, as
many as 10000 people having been on
the grounds in a single day. This asso-
citation is a great educator, and it's bene-
