suitable quartern could bo made. Homes
for the pcoplo must also be. constructed.
As with the stores , temporary makeshifts
wore at first resorted to. Soon the prac
tical regeneration of the town was taken
up. Work wna commenced on permanent
ntoro buildings , dwelling houseo and nil thn
ether structured necessary to the conduct
of the business ot the city.
Today Herman has rc-nrlscn with substan

of the terrible calamity which came at the
close of that Juno day. A newness and
n lack of shade trees gives the air of a
western boom town , which had sprung up In
the night. Hero the similarity ends. It
linn none of the free and easy hilarity and
vices of the boom town. These are tha
