BRYANT SHOWS GREAT RECORD.
Many New Business Blocks Erected in
the Town This Year,

the Town This Year.
The little city of Bryant is making
wonderful record in the line of build.
ing this year. The following struc-
lures have been erected on Main
street since last spring, viz:
By George l. Cole and H. S. Rowe,
president and cashier of the Mer-
chants bank, a two-story brick block,
5Ox60, with full basement, occupied ON
the first floor by the Merchants bank
on one side and Fred Villas, the drug
gist, ON the other. The second story
is arranged for offices, ETC., and so far
is occupied as follows: DR.. H. c. Lar
son, dentist; DR.. l.. p. Prouty, physi-
clan and surgeon; G. A. S. Arneson,
attorney at law; Prof. j. K. Schultz
music teacher; E. S. Cole and Egeberg
Ruben, private parlors. The building
is tirst-class throughout with steam
heat in every room and the very best
OF fixtures. 1t is undoubtedly the
SWEETEST 50x60 feet in this part of the
state, and perhaps in the entire state.
BY William Lundy, one-story
brick building. 25xso, with full base
ment. occupied by r. X. Newcomb as
a pool hall and lunch room. 1t is
dandy.
BY Hestead Bros, one-story dou-
BILE brick store building, 25x90 with
full basement, occupied by Hestad
Bros. as a general store on one side
and by Mr.. Bierlein as jewelry store
on the other. This is an elegant store
building and one of which the city as
we'll as the owners can be justly
proud.
BY ]. w. Waldron, one-story brick
building, with basement, occupied by
the owner as a barber shop and bath
rooms. A swell concern.
By Mr.. Cary, one-story brick store
building, 25 xS0, with basement, not
yet occupied.
By F. B. Kidder. a one-story brick
building, 25x6O, with basement, to be
occupied by Mr.. Kidder as barber
place for this business.
The largest structure has been erect
ed by Ward Bros, and is a two-story
brick store building, 5Ox1OO feet, with
full basement, occupied by Ward &
Co. as department store. 1t will
nave steam heat throughout and is fit
ted with fixeures of the best and most
modern designs, and is the best of it's
kind in this part of the state.
Excavations are under way for the
basement for another brick building
25xS0, one stor; high, to be erected
by Carl Erickson.
Let some other place the size of
Bryant show up anything that will
compare with the foregoing record.

such action. But that is not what the
agitators for such legislation want.

PUSHING TO THE HILLS.
Good Progress Made on Milwaukee
Road Extension.


Road Extension.
The Milwaukee road is wasting no
time in getting to the Hills as rapidly
as possible. A. E. Beaumont of Sioux
Falls. who has just made the trip
across the country from Sioux Falls on
his bicycle. reports that grading has
been completed on the Milwaukee ex-
tension for seventy miles west Of
Chamberlain, and the rails have been
laid for distance of twenty miles.
A crew of surveyors is located at
Johnson's sheep ranch, where the two
trails meet, one from the north and
one from the south Of the Bad Lands
wall. Another crew of surveyors is on
the southern trail and speculation is
rife whether the railroad will take the
northern or southern route in it's west
ern journey.
1t it goes north, it must either follow
the Northwestern road into Rapid City,
which it is not likely to do, or it must
cross this road and make for the Belle
Fourche country, leaving Rapid City
entirely out OF its line. AS this is not
probable, the chances are in favor of
the southern route being taken. This
will run through the valley of the
White river and take in very pictur
esque country.
Lyman county is booming because of
the railroad question. New settlers are
coming in daily. 1t will not be long
until the entire country, which is very
rich, will be settled.

reputation IN oOuth OdkOSa Is more
American in Character.
The state Census Shows that the
population of South Dakota is becom-
ing more and more Americanized with
each recurring enumeration. In 1870
the foreign-born population of the terri
tory was 81 per cent Of the whole. In
1880 it was "a per cent, and this per-
centage has shown steady decline
ever since that date, being 27.6 per
cent in 1890, and 1871 per cent this
year. While the state has gained 10
per cent in population in the last five
years, but per cent of this gain was
from the foreign-born population. The
return shows also that there are in the
state 64,385 children six years of age
and under. OF these, $3.50 were born
in the State 1888 were born in other
states, and $40 were foreign-born.
