The jear Just closed , one of the moat
plospe-rous In the history of Council Bluffs.
1ms been ono of progress nnd Improvement
along all lines of business. With the dawn
of the new year the prospects nre of the
brightest and everything points to thin city
enjojIUR a long era ot steadily Increasing
pronperlty.
Much of the Improvement In business dur
ing the last twelve months has been due to
n great extent lo the vast sums spent In
this rlty and Immediate vicinity by the rail
roads. Not only have these railroads given
employment to thousands of laborers , hut
have spent large sums of money In nciiulr-
Ing right of way and property upon which
ito build depots and other buildings. Those
purchases naturally created quite a boom In
the real estate market , making the year one
of the liveliest , real estate men all say ,
sliico the days of the boom
I'uhllo linprovomenU have not kept pace
with private etulerprlses , due mainly to the
fact that the assessment laws of Iowa are
In an unsatisfactory state , prcveiitltiK con-
Hldcrnblei paving that had been ordered ear-
rled out A large amount of building has
been done during the last twelve months
and u number of business blocks and private
rcsldrwces creeled. Several new Industries
ha\u been established In UK- city and the
prospects for the now vcar In this line nro
ihittcrlng.
The health of the city , except for a slight
i-pldemlc of mtaslcs among 'the ' school chil
dren , has been remaikably good and Coun
cil Bluffs could with safety advertise Itself
ub u health resoit.
The business In the banks has almost
doubled , with no failures among the busi
ness Hi ma of the city recorded. Collections
have been good and the people of the city
appear to have been blessed with more
money than for many jears. Taking every
thing Into consideration the year 1S99 has
been < a record breaker lu the blstory of
Council Bluffs nnd I'otlawnttamle coumy.
Kiilry of Illinois Ci-nlral.
The entiy of the Illinois Central into
Council Bluffs nnd the construction of its
branch road from this city to Fort Dodge i
was the chief event In railroad building.
The amount expended in thp construction of '
this line Is estimated at $8,000,000 , a largo
sluiro of which was bpcnt directly within
this city. Close on $100,000 will bo ex
pended by this road In the erection of its
passenger and freight depots and other
buildings during the coming year , work ou
these structures already being under way.
The Chicago & Northwestern railway has
likewise expended an immense mini of
money in this city and Immediate vicinity
and moro will bo expended as soon as spring
opeiiH up. The double tracking between here
nnd Missouri Valley ban been completed to
within four miles of Council Bluffs and It Is
estimated that It will take at least $50,000
to complete the work.
The Chicago , Hock Island & PacVc rail
way has not only built a handsome brick
passenger depot and a new20btall round
house during the past year , but has also
irado extensive Improvements In its yards ,
involving an outlay of In the neighborhood
of $1150,000. Over twelve miles of new-
tracks have been or are now being laid In
the yards and new steel girders placed over
Indian-creek. The jards have been-brought
to grade nnd entirely remodeled.
The Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy rail
way has carried out extensive Improvements
In Us yards and freight house on South
Main blrcet. All the grounds and tracks
have been brought up to giado and the
depot and fi eight platforuib have been
. raited.
| I The Omaha Bridge & Terminal lallway
i has elected a eommodlou.s and handsome
j | I freight depot at Ninth street and Bioadway ,
i at nit-sent occupied by the Illinois Central.
j This road has also made a number of Im-
j I proveMiients along Its line and Is nowcon -
j htructlng a switch track to connect with the
lllliiola Central and as soon as the material
]
arrives heto will erect a steel bridge at
l-'list avenue over Indian creek.

The je.ir marked the entry of another ;
street railway company In the line of the
! Omaha , Couneil Bluffs & Suburban Uall-
! v.aj company between Kast Omaha and Lake
j ' Manawa , partly completed. The old motor
,
icompany | has declared Us intention of bulld-
! Ing to the lake also
j The number of building permits Issued In
1Sl'J ! , whllo not giving an accurate account
' ' the building done , nevertheless show that
.
much has been done along this line Many l
'old | unsightly lookerles along Broadway have
I been torn down and replaced by substantial |
brick blocks and business houses. Quite
a laige number of private residences have '
been erected , giving carpenters and brlck-
lajers ono of the most piospcrous years In ' ,
the history of the city. Among the prin
cipal ones erecteil may be noted The Min
neapolis Threshing Machine lomp.inj's ware-
hoiibo and olllce building , the Steadman
block on Broadway , Klmlull Bro.s ad ' '
dition to their olcvatoi plant , the Kverctt !

Kolsem block on the same street , the hand '

tins Hlnrlchi ) , the btoio and lesldence
i erected by Miss Mase > nbuiK on Bioadwiy ' ,
the Improvements , ou the 13.V Nash build-
ing. the Barnaul b o k and the ( ilessner- ;
Bushnell company's building now In course
of construction on Main street. The permits
rej
mits Issued during the liiht jear amounted (
to about $17.1,000 , but this does not Include ]
any of the Illlnolb Central's buildings , as
permits for them have not jet been taken
out. The llgucs fallow less than Jb'JS , owing
to the I'cavoy i levalor , which amounted
to $175,000 alone. Kscludlng this the record
for ISliO U well in advance of that for the
year before.

Mr. Sargent , of the shoe house of B. M. ,
Sargent , bays that 1S)9 ! ) has been a phenom
enal jear for his business and that the last
v ear's business has been the-'largest In
tbo blstory of any one bhoo nousc 'in the
city of Council Bluffs , and as shown by his
books ? tl'pre is no doubt of It. Mr. Saigent ,
ib not only the olde-st shoe man In the cit > .
but also the jounge.st. In 1S7G Mr. Sargent ,
then a boy of 14 jears , began woik for Mar
tin Van Burcn Weeks of Burlington , Vt
After sU months , his ability being sbo.vn ,
, /
ho accepted a position with Kelscy 'i '
Brodie of the same cltj , where ho woikcd
three jears , going from there to Thomas
j | Moslcy In Boston , acknowledged to be the | J
, best shoo &toro in that city. Hero he re
mained for two years , coming to Omaha In
1881. Mr. J. M. Phillips lit that time wns |
running the best tboc htoro in Counell
Bluffs. Through n friend of Mr. Saigent ,
who vvas also an Intimate acquaintance cf
'Mr. Phillips , the position as manager of his
retail fitoro was tendered Mr Sargent and
accepted. Krom that day to this be has
been closely Identified with the business In i.
tereats ot Council Bluffs. As u salesman
and manager he bad no equal In the citj Si
us Mr. Phillips' business proved. As a man ,
for bimscilf ho has a record of which he
should Justly feel proud. Starting In n
small way as Sargent & Pusoy and Sargent
& Evans , his business has grown until today -
day ho has a stock of shoes and a business
i that in his line Is second to none lu ; ho
state of Iowa. Mr. Sargent today has the
lea
satisfaction ot knowing that theie is not a
shoo house In the city located here when In '
come. Mr. Sargent's Ideas of business aie ,
. .
peculiar ; flrbt , to give the people what they
I pnj for , and the best to be had for their
j money. Second , lo take advantage of no one
and have but one price. He sajs that any
ono doing business on those lines will sue-
' ceed. Another hobby of Mr. Sargent's Is ,
no prison-made shoes. He f > ajs that a few ,
cents a pair piotit extin will not offset the i
' sutfcrlng that families of shoemakers must
| endure as a icsiiH of cheap labcr and penl-
It-Hilary made goods Mr Sargent's success
I the past year proves that honesty In busl-
ucss Is the btet policy. He also says that ;
a shoe-house which cannot como out and , !
'
nay that they do not line prison made shoe- *
' is not entitled to the worklngmen's trade' | ,
which Is * the best trade on earth Many Im- ,
provcmcnts wcm made In the Sargent btoio
I building In the past ye-or , the moat Import-
jl
ant of which was the enlargement of the
] store by fifteen additional feet In the 'f'
i thus affording more lloor space and better
- fucllltle. . for displaying goods than any ;
other store In the city.
< > > xlr mill KlHli Miu-Ki-l.
I H Is truly said that to de&eivo giucess Is
i to earn H. There Is no ono lu Council Blufis
more deserving of the success ho h.is at >
tulned than Sullivan , the grocer , at 313
Bioadway. He has established In this city
one of the best ojster nnd fish markets In
be seen anywhere. During the ojater and
I tlsh seasons ho keeps a supply suinclcnt for f
all demands , Ho selects his goods with the
greatest care , thus securing the best to be
° had ou the markets. The leading brands
of ojsters carried are the famous Berwick
' Bay and Solid Packed , which arc reeog-
nlieil to have no superiors , even If Ibey can :
" ' be- equaled Mr Sullivan's trade has bec-n
u Increasing In all lines and In thcso two os-
peclally. until his store Is recognised as thr
leading oyster nnd fish market lu western
" ' Iowa. He expects to redouble his clforts tc
' Increase the coming year's business ovet
' that of the last and that of 1899 Is very eat-
! isfactory In all respects.

irtThe musical business of Council BlulTi '
Inhas undergone some Important changes uri
j ing the Pafl jear. Among these cbangei
, i notably Is the removal of the Bourlclu
'
n.iMusic house from 325 Broadway to Its pre'S *
cnt locatlotr , 330 Broadway , onlj a few doori
west of tbo old place In Us new quarten

oriblp dcnltng and upon the mrrlts of th.
goods rained U Is toJiv the leading tnusU
store In Council Bluffs and western Iowa
The pianos , organs and other Instrument *
handled by this house are ot the best makes
obtainable and satisfaction Is always Ritar-
, anttrd. The high standing of the Dourg
Iclus ' ' Music hou o In this community Is a
guaranty In Itself that the goods h nnd led
must sell upon their merlin. The business
done by this house during the past jear
attest this fact and reach Immense propor1
tlons ' In comparison with that ot other j-ears.
During the jear of IfiOO It Is expected to
make a still greater showing , and If enterprise -
prise , honest goods and fair treatment count ,
i this ' anticipation will be rcallred.

' Ono of the high standing business houses
of Council Bluffs Is the Iowa Kurnlture and
Carpet company , 407 Broadway. The pro-
prletors arc U. W. Keller and M. Band , both
.well known nnd representative business
| ' men of the city They opemM their stoto
nt Us present location a llttlo over n yiar
ago. The gooJs they handle' consist of fur
niture , carpets , rugs , curtains nnd every
thing that goes with the carpet burlnesn ,
also ' stoves , dishes , chlnaware , o'c. In fact
the establishment is a complete house fur-
1 ! nlshlng store and their big success for the
last jear Is due to their skillful buying and
the handling of the best goods made. These
i
j me sold at very low cash prices and on the
easy pajtnent plan. The plan ( if easy piv-
menls has proven to be a boon to mnnv ,
who were thus enabled to furnish their
homes at a moderate cost and , even though
their salary was meager , by this means
they are now out of debt , own their home-
hold goods nnd aie happy. This store carries
.in Immense line of goods and all are treated
alike , the ; high nnd the low. the rich and
the poor , ono price to all and that the low
est of any similar concern In the city.

It will run up Into the millions. The dim
