Yankton has been favored by nature in many respects. But the
most remarkable is the magnificent water power obtained by sink
ing artesian wells to a depth of six hundred feet. These are at
present twelve (12) 4-inch wells and two (2) mammoth 6-inch spout
ers, with a capacity of twenty-two hundred gallons per minute and
forty-five horse power each. One of these wells is used for manu
facturing purposes by clay and running the electric light dynamo at
night. Yankton with her unlimited water power developed will
make a second Minneapolis.
IViAINUr AO I UKIN(jI
Yankton now .has running in full blast a large Linseed Oil Mill,
a Woolen Mill with all the latest improved machinery, the largest
flouring mills in Dakota, a large pork packing establishment, three
large brick yards, a tow mill and other minor establishments. Yank
ton ships more goods, manufactured at home, than any other town
in Dakota. With the new railroads and enterprises now assured,
Yankton will make a city of not less than 50,000 people in the next
five years.
JOBBING.
With our new railroads Yankton mil make the best jobbing point
on the Missouri river. Numerous wholesale houses in St. Paul and
Minneapolis will establish branch houses in Yankton this year to sup
ply the trade of Northeastern Nebraska, Southern Dakota and the
Black Hills country.
R,ELAJI. EJST-A.TE3I

will satisfy the most skeptical. The Manitoba system lies north and
west Of this common center, with Duluth as its outlet. The Illinois
Central system develops east and south of this common center, with
its outlet east at Chicago and south at Xew Orleans. The Union
Pacific system lies south and west of this common center, with Omaha
as its eastern terminus, and no outlet east or north except over other
lines. These three great systems of road have common competitor's
in the C. M. and St. P. and the C. & X W. roads, which have in
vaded the territory of all three of the systems which propose to cen
ter at Yankton, while the Manitoba, tlie Illinois Central and Union
Pacific roads occupy each its own territory, and are natural allies
and not competitors. These three roads, by building to Yankton,
unite their systems against common competition, bridge the river
at Yankton, and each has two outlets which it did not have before,
and together the three systems constitute the most formidable rail
road combination in the history of the country. This makes Yank
ton the central and transfer point and the most promising of the new
Western cities of which Kansas City and Omaha are shining exam
ples. Railroads already lead out of Yankton East, North and AVest,
and with the coming of these new lines her future is asssured.
OMAHA, YANKTON & NORTHWESTERN.
This railroad, which has been granted a subsidy of $300,000 by
the city of Omaha, will be built during the coming season from
Omaha to Yankton, crossing the river at Yankton, then extend up
the famous and rich Jim river valley, of which Yankton is the n&2tual
outlet, giving Yankton a direct connection with Omaha, St. Louis
and all southern and southwestern points. Surveyors are now lay
ing out this line and work will begin on the grading as soon as the
frost is out of the ground.
