Keep Your Eye On Dickinson.

For a ''hard times" year our city has
not so bad a record. A PRESS reporter
recently made a tour of Dickinson and
found by actual count %twenty.six new
buildings on the north side and seventy
six on the south.
This being a few weeks ago, the num-.
Der is probably too small as building is
in progress all the time.
The north and sides south have both
built up substantially in nearly every d.
rection and in nearly every line.
On the west side Of Dickinson, Young's
First Addition has several residences
and spring will see tho new street west
of Van Norden practically built up. On
the east Messersmith & Simpsons Addi-
ton has had a decided boom and a dozen
residences have gone up there. John
Courtney has built a fine residence in
billiard & Manning's Addition on the
north-opposite the elegant new home
of J. E. Phelan.
George Schneider has a fine two.story
brick residence and L. K. Granteer is
building for himself on Hannaford street
+ as he can get time from his work on
other buildings. George Aud has a
pleasant new home ear the Baptist
| church and MIR. Massarek has built be-
low the hospital.
Additions and repairs are too numer.
| Gus to mention but would form quite an
item on total cost of Improvements.
The school annex, which is nearly COM
pletcd, will cost $4,000 and will double
the capacity of the old building. This
is built of Dickinson brick by Charles
Bake, a home contractor.
Doctors L. c. and Sarah Smith have
erected a hospital, costing $4,000, on
Clough street. This is a great addition
intellectually to the eastern part of the
city and fills a long felt want.
On lower Sims street McCloy & Senour
are finishing their $4,000 brick building
which they will occupy themselves be.
low, renting Offices above.
R. E. Fuller's livery barn on east Vii.
lard street is a substantial addition to
the business interests Of the town, as is
also Christ Petcrson's brick blacksmith
shop on lower Clough street.
The N. P, while mo- giving US the long
wished-for new depot, has spent con
siderable in permanent improvements
The concrete cemen dam just cas-,
OF the city is the only n Of its kind in
this part Of the country. A new pump
ing station has been erected in connec
l tlOl1 WILL IL AuC lllllS 6IOCh yAIOs
have been enlarged to a capacity of 1000
head, with two chutes for loading cattle
and one double deck chute for loading
sheep. New side track has been found
necessary in addition to the already large
amount.
Near the little stock yards A. J. Allen
THE veteran cattle broker-has erected
feeding yards with a capacity Of 500 head
and M. c. Eacker has similar yards in
that locality with a like capacity.
In South Dickinson most conspicuous
is the $4,000 Catholic church describes
before, while the Touring mill nearer the
river means much in the way of home
industry and employment for residents
The south-siders have built many
homes this year and these extend to thu
river on the south and nearly to the bricb
plant on the west.
The Dickinson Fire 4 Pressed Brick
Co. have enlarged their business which
furnishes employment for 40 to 50 men
Several torres and markets have beer
erected in South Dickinson-the larges
being "The Golden Rule" just opened
by lessen Bros.
In this hurried outline it is impossible,
to note every building in detail but ",
give u readers enough that they ma,
realize there is something doing in Dick
inson all the time, even in dull years.
