THE CAPITAL AND METROPOLIS . OF. TOWA-MANUFACTURING AND BUSINESS INTERESTS -- TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES- AND .; INDUCEMENTS- TO- CAPITALISTS -- SOCIAL EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES, ETC.
A glance at the map will enable one to : understand some of the many reasons why Des Moines should become a great and important city, the metropolis of a large extent of country. It .is admirably located for manufacturing and business of all kinds; is surrounded by an unexcelled agricultural region, and its transportation facilities are unsurpassed. Many are looking toward Des Moines as their future homes, as the city presents not only the best of commercial advantages, 'but is a. most desirable place of residence,-possessing cultured and refined society and excellent moral and educational advantages.
Itis far from -- >ning cities, being 358 miles from Chinago, 366 miles northwest of St. Louis, and 297 miles from St. Paul and Minneapolis, and no city in Iowa approaches it in size. The city is in the center of the great corn belt and blue grass region, and in the midst of the coal fields of Iowa. It contains air area of twelve square miles, and the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers unite within its limits, and furnish a never-failing water power. With its inexhaustible coal supplies for cheap motive-power, it-is unrivalled-as-a-location for-man- ufacturing.
Des Moines Has made very satisfactory - growth in population, . wealth. industrial enterprise and improvements, and the outlook-indi- cates greater progress during the next twelve months than during any year in the history of our city. This growth and development is due, to-a great extent. to its commanding position as the center of- a-grand. system of railroads, and by means of these highways of commerce and civilization. Des Moines reaches the trade of a large territory naturally tributary.
There is no city in the United. States with a greater extent of rich and rapidly growing country surrounding it, and the most san- guine scarcely realize the rapid- Arteauce being made in transportation

DES MOINES-POPULATION AND GROWTH.
- facilities, trade, commerce, manufacturing, mining and other.indus- tries, which are simply increasing in the same ratio. The statistics of improvements, wholesale and -manufacturing business during the past -: few years are very satisfactory, and the outlook for the future is most . .encouraging. It will be well for capitalists and home seekers to give. attention to the attractions, natural and acquired, which this city offers them over any other in the West.
Population and Growth.
The growth of Des Moines has-been steady, as the following- figures demonstrate, showing the advance of our city from a village to its present metropolitan proportions, forming an interesting feature in a statistical review. " In 1846 the town contained 127 inhabitants: in -850, 502; 18554 :2:278; : 1860, 3.805; 1865, 5,722; 1570. 12.035; 1875, 15,782; 1880, 22,606; 1885, 35,500, and to-day we claim; incluel- ing the adjoining. suburban-additions, a population of 55,000, and we doubt not the next United States census will show our population to be at least 60,000. - The progress made during the past year is-a matter of pride to our citizens .- New factories and business hotises were established in our midst aml numerous elegant and commodious build- ings were erected for business or residence, while thousands of strangers located in our city.
