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

Many New Business Blocks Erected In
the Town This Year.
The little city of Bryant is making
a 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. G. 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 first-class throughout with steam
heat in every room and the very best
of fixtures. 1t is undoubtedly the
SWEETEST 5Ox60 feet in this part of the
state, and perhaps in the entire state.
BY William Lundy, a %one-story
brick building, 25xSO, with full base
ment, occupied by r. X. Newcomb as
a pool hall and lunch room. 1t is a
dandy.
By Hestead Bros, a one-story dou-
BILE brick store building, 25x90, with
full basement, occupied by Hestad
Bros. as a general store on n side
and by Mr.. Bierlein as a 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, a one-story brick
building, with basement, occupied by
the owner as a barber shop and bath
rooms A swell concern.
By Mr.. Cary, a one-story brick store
building, 25 xSO, with basement, not
yet occupied.
By F. B. Kidder, a one-story brick
building, 25x60, with basement, to be
occupied by Mr.. Kidder as a barber
shop and bath rooms. A splendid
place for this business.
The largest structure has been erect
ed by Ward Bros, and Is q two-story
brick. store building, 50x100 feet, with
full basement, occupied by Ward &
Co. as a department store. 1t will
lave 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 story 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.

WANT ASSESSMENT REDUCED.
Merchants Of MiIbank Object to State
Boards Appraisement.

Boards Appraisement.
A meeting attended by the mer-
chants Of Milbank was held recently
for the purpose of devising some way
to reach the state board of equaliza-
ton and get a reduction of assessment
as left by that board on stocks of mer-
chandise. All the stocks in the city
were assessed by the assessor at 40
per cent of their actual value. This
was raised 100 per cent by the state
board, making an assessment of 80 per
cent Of the actual value upon which
the tax is to be levied. One Milbank
storekeeper paid last year taxes
amounting to $264.54 on his stock. In
1905, on a slightly increased stock,
his taxes are $676. In Grant county
the total value of merchandise as left
by the state board was 1854 in 1904,
and $186,366 in 1905. This large in
crease in the face of the fiercest COM
petition from mail order houses ever
known is claimed to be a burden. They
claim bank stocks and real estate
should be made to pay some of the
tax. A. v. Fisher, j. S. Farley and
August Mittlestaed were appointed a
committe to seek the cooperation of
other counties and see what can be
done. Legal counsel, which has been
employed, clai mthere is nothing in
the statutes or constitution that pre-
vents the state board of equalization
from revising its work.

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

'SdA e~SVssoi0ts
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 a distance of twenty miles.
A crew Of surveyors is located at
J%Ohnson'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 its west
ern journey.
1t 1t goes north, it must either follow
the Northwestern road into Rapid City,
which 1t 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 a 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.

Analysis of Medicines Open to All.

There is no public demand and
there is not the slightest public neces-
6ity for a law compelling the publ
cation OF the formula of proprietary
medicines" says the Committee on
Legislation Of the Proprietary Asso-
citation. Every Health Commissioner
and every Pure Food Commissioner
IN the country, as well as every pri-
|vate physician or chemist, if he
|pleases, has the right to make an
analysis of any proprietary medicine
hnd to publish the result and to tell
the public what he thinks, and there
Is nothing in the world to prevent
such action. But that is not what the
hgitators for such legislation want.
Their object is to destroy the sale Of
such remedies entirely"

FEWER FOREIGNERS SHOWN.
Population in South Dakota ls 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 fcreign-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 a steady decline
ever since that date, being 27.6 per
cent in 1890, and 1877 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 f~oreign-born population. The
return shows also that there are in the
state 64,385 children six years of age
and under. OF these, 55,549 were born
in the state 1888 were born in other
states, and $40 were foreign-born.
