Excerpt from Across the Continent Mobridge is an incorporated city, with but few years to its credit, and its remarkable progress and prosperous condition are typical of the new towns that have grown up on this line, scarcely one of which, with a population above 100, that has not some of the attributes of municipal advancement; and most of them boast a city water system, electric lighting, broad, graded streets, concrete sidewalks and the best of commercial institutions. Education is of paramount importance in these new communities and every one of them is the possessor of a commodious schoolhouse, and provides educational facilities of the first order; while in every hamlet, howsoever modest, Skyward-pointing spires indicate one or more edifices devoted to the religious welfare of the people.
