Ped Cloud In l9OG.

Have you thought of what the year
promises for Red Cloud by way of
growth and improvement. These facts
have been dawning in a desultory sort
of way upon thos- who are watching
things move, but when summarized
they present an array of which we may
we'll be proud. First, the building
planned to take place during the year
is of itself a worthy evidence of
growth. The new church edifice to be
erected by the Catholic society will
add $4,000 to the real estate values of
the city; the new home for whic ALT
Mccall now has his plans complete
will be one of the best in town when
completed, while the house to be
erected on the west side of the same
block in which Mr. Mccall will build
will be an excellent addition to our
residences. In addition to these sew
eral farmers in this vicinity are now
purchase or erect homes during the
season Some of these are already
figuring with the local carpenters on
dwellings they plan to build.
From the standpoint of municipal
improvement the indications are
equally promising. The council has
ordered the purchase of the necessary
material for putting down new wells
and will have "A water supply that will
mean much to all concerned. 1t
should not be many months before
visible evidences of our new electric
light plant will tell the wayfarer of
light for dark nights. Just as soon as
the condition of the ground will per-
nit whole blocks of permanent side
walks will be laid in different parts of
the city, and it may truly be said that
our city can be styled Red Cloud the
Beautiful.
Then; too, the growth for the year
will put us away above the two thous-
and mark. By the taking of adjacent
properties into the incorporation,
which will be accomplished as soon as
the next term of district court con-
venes, the population should be easily
swelled to over 1000, and the influx of
new residents, which will be steady if
present indications mea anything,
should make Red Cloud a city of
$500 by the beginning of another year.
All that is needful is a better spirit
of cooperation on the part of those
interested in our growth. Let that
committee appointed to arrange for
the beginning of a commercial club
get down to business. Such a club is
doing much in many Of our Nebraska
towns to induce e capital to come
in and invest. Let all of our citizens
get behind every public movement
and boost hard. Let us by every
means unite to make Red Cloud desir-
able as a home. By doing these
