Unusual activity in the trans
fer of large tracts of land for
purposes OF colonization marks
the complete revival of South
west Texas from the recent bus
mess depression. One of the
most interesting is a deal for
100, 900 acres of land located go
miles from San Antonio on
which immigrants from Ger
many and Switzerland are to be
colonized. This undertaking is
in charge Of Carl Leutcke of
Austin, who represents the col
onization company. Mr.. Leutcke
says that their plan is to divide
the entire tract in small farms
for immigrants. He will sail for
Germany on June IL.
An 8OO0lacre tract in Dimmit
County has just been sold by
Nicholson, Furnish & Smith to
a northern syndicate for $40, 900.
This tract is situated near Car
rizo Springs and will also be col
onized. Another Northern firm
has purchased in the last week
from thesame men another tract
in Kinney County of $500 acres.
Fred G. Close and D. G. Dan
forth have just purchased a
100000 tract of land near Wood

Taxes In Pierre.

Taxes in South Dakota are payable il
the winter months but no large penal
ties are added until the GLOWING
October.
This city owns water works and
electric-light system and its own natural
gas wells and with the aid received from
the state form the school funds it ought
to be the most favored spot in our coun
try for low taxes. Sometimes the am
bilious politician gets the upper hand

Pierre will establish a national reputa-

GUS and immense advantages this young

Natural Gas.

The natural gas at Pierre seems TO
get stronger each Year, the last well
secured here being the best of all.
There will be great developments here
before long in the discovery of Il great
natural gas and petroleum oil field here
under Pierre, or close to the west or
north of mere. This fact of itself is
sufficient to make a great city grow up
here, and while Pierre is already the
best legitimate and advantageous man
ufacturng point for this state. The
opening up of great oil field here will
make Pierre very large city IN very
few years.
Strong indications of petroleum have
been discovered in several places in
this locality, some even on the surface
OF the river bluffs. There is undouLt-
eddy great resource Of this character
close at hand, and this with our boun-
tiful supply Of cement shale aud soil
for pressed brick, will Of itself make
Pierre noted city in the next few
years. Rustler.

Plating Grounds.

The state engineers department. has
been busy for several days making
complete Typographical plat of the
state house grounds, with the location
of the building and the elevation of the
streets surrounding the tract, which
will be submitted to a prominent land
scape gardner, for proposed methods ct
identifying and improving the plat
While this work is being done.at the
present time, it is not likely that any
active work of improvement will be
commenced until after the new build
ing is completed, as the material will
take up large amount of the room on
the grounds, and the hauling of the
heavy stone will keep more Of it cut up
SO it Will5not be advisable to do much
before that time.

The Real Estate Proposition.

Pierre is located in a corner or bend
of the river. This great stream, in
some places, nearly a mile wide comes
from the north for 200 miles and here
aud turns in it's course running to the
east and further on to, the south-eas
and south: this places Pierre in the
corner SO that all growth is forced into
the north east one quarter Of the usual
circle. It cannot grow to the north
west, to the west, to the southeast. or
South or southeast but can only grow
TO the north to the east and to the
northeast, A city located !!iihke Des
! Mcines OF indianapolis chat would be
built up All ayerageoff 9 or 3 3 mites in
all dirsctlons would here reach out 4
or miles in the available directions
and not cover any more ground.
This condition makes Pierre an ex--
ceptionally good real estate proposition.
Some OF the land near the river is low
and undesirable, some is quite broken,
while out to the N ortheast is q liberal
supply Of nice high land upon which to
build the city and any one, investing in
real estate here who will buy to the
Northeast Of the present business dis
strictis certain to find their Investment
will be most adyantageonsiy affected
by all future growth.

Nine Large Systems in This
Stat Are Pointing or
Working Toward Pierre.
Pierre Will Become a Great
Center.

y - J 4
Pierre is getting more railroad devel-
opment than any other young city in
the west. The North Western system
is making this point the principal head
quarters for the regions west OF Min
neapolis and are making extensive I'M
proyements here. Their new depot is
more than 300 feet long and the center
portion three stories high They have
built many miles of side track in this
city the past year planning for much
more than the future.
This system will bring branches in
here from the north and south and
make this place a railway center for
the North Western system.
The Great Milwaukee and st. Paul
system have the largest mileage of any
railroad company in South Dakota and
are wanting to get into Pierre and may
bring three different lines in here in the
near future.
The Great Northern railroad com
pany has for several years been talking
Of building to Pierre and will not de
lay much longer.
The Burlington road has planned to
build into Pierre from the west accord
ing TO the most reliable sources Of in
formation.
The Illinois Central surveyed in here
4 some years age and are likely to build
in whenever they start building in the
west.
The Minneapolis and st. Louis road
has had men in here several times re
Gently.
The Dakota Central has filed plans
contemplating extensive improvements
whichinclude line into Pierre.
The Rock Island company and the
500 line are looking this way and want
ing to pre-empt some of this desirable
territory around Pierre, this might also
be said of the Northern Pacific and one
or two other projected enterprises. I'm
doubleday this place will soon become
q very important railway center and a
large city will grow up here, owing to
the expansion Of wholesaling and
manufacturing that is certain to follow
the forming of railway center here,
situated upon navigable water.
This is a most opportune time to So
cure real estate investments in a com
paratively small city that will surely
make a large place. Pierre Rustler.

ADVANT AGES
Pierre a City With a Great
Future.
Undoubtedly the Most Prom
Using Young City in The
World Today.

! This remarkable young city is now
growing rapidly aud the future out
look could not be better for great
growth and expansion during the next
few years, The natural gas found here
assures Pierre of becoming a good
manufacturing city. Undoubtedly a
great oil field is located to the west Of
Pierre aud great coal fields are known
to under lie the greater portion of the
western half Of this state.
Recently we have learned that we
have excellent, rich cement shales III
vast quantities along the bluffs OF the
Missouri river here at Pierre. This is
going to become a great industry and
before many years Pierre will be known
as one OF the greatest cement manu-
featuring centers OF the country.
There is also one of the grandest
openings for development of very ex-
tensive water power here but as this
will take considerable money it may be
under taken in the Immediate future
nut there are immense possibilities ex
listing here in that direction.
Among Che many advantages of this
place the fact that Pierre is u perma-
nent capitol of the state is going to be
q good factor in drawing the different
railroads OF the state to her, also help
to establish this place as a financial
center which ii has already become to
u limited extent.
The fact that Pierre has a splendid
location on a large navigable river. Civ
ing abundance OF pure water foi domes.
tic aud manufacturing purposes and
having excellent drainage assuring an
exceptionally healthy location; the fact
that we have natural gas, petroleum,
oil and great coal fields tributary and
the tact that she is the permanent state
capitol is going to make her a railway
center.
the greatest of all advantages that
assures the up building OF a great city
here is the fact that Pierre is located
long distance from any large CONNER
eial center and having d sYouderfuily
wealthy and productive country, tribu
tary to her, she is certain to make an
other large commercial center, similar
to Denver, Kansas City, Omaha or ST.
PAIL.
Numerous good towns in the east
and OF this state are hoping to make
large cities but they are too close to
Omaha, Minneapolis and St Paul to
make great commercial cities; but
Pierre is located out 100 miles or more
beyond them upon this great river and
close to the great diversified wealth OF
this state, is certain to make the big
commercial city of South Dakota.
All states have developed, generally,
at least one Important commercial city.
South Dakota has none as yet, but
Pierre is coming to the front, and can
plan to be selected now as the point
that is going to make the great city of
this growing, Wealthy young state.-
