Additions Being Made.
The beginning of spring will usher
in a big season in the building of
many new homes and additions to
dozens already built.
The city of Dickinson is attracting
citizens from almost every center and
In addition to these new comers it is
no new thing for the farmers from
outside to make city the mecca
for their home life and for the ad-
vantages in the education of their
children, hence there has been a big
influx of new comers.
The North and South sides are
each showing their preference for To-
cations, so that between the two
parts of the city there will be much
building done this spring and sum-
mer.
In going to press we have been
able to gather a few of the many
homes that are now being erected,
and these will keep the carpenters
and mechanics busy all the year.
Among those now in course of
erection is the S. H. SmileyV house
west of the water tower and in the
block with the Lillibridge home. This
will be a six or seven room house
and will be occupied by the owner
as soon as completely
Rudolph Oleheisep is building a
pretty cottage east. Of the court house
and Mary Pirkel has started her
small cottage near the Bohemian
church. Mrs. Pirkel has been living
in the Zastoupil house, but hopes to
move about the first of June. Joe
Keeper is also erecting cottage,
into which he will move as soon as
completed.
The Guarantee Loan & Investment
Co. are building a home for their
foreman, Geo. Chaser, who manages
the farm south and west of the Golf
Club. c. L. Hager is now occupying
his bungalow north of DR.. Bowen's
home. Ludwig Lenhard is building
one block west of the Bohemian
church, nice residence.
The South siders are not one whit
behind in their arrangements, for we
find the following are either build
ing or will build this spring: Gregor
Makelki, Martin Feiniger, Paul Lam
ar, and these friends will have a
close following in several others dur
ing the summer.
The Press has already mentioned
the fact that the Baker Brothers of
Emerson are making their homes in
Dickinson. Vern Baker recently
bought the Frank Brose property
north of w. A. McClure's, and since
this the other two brothers have also
bought homes, the one purchasing
the Walter A. Shaw property and
Oscar has bought the Nielsen home
west of the hospital.

of the homes of our prominent mer-
chants and professional men. w. L..
