which aourished-es its mast head the title of
"Daily Morning Bugle." Upon closer in

things that are, and the question now only
remains 10 be solved. "riU Council Bluffs

the citizens will only exhibit half as much
interest and determination and perseverance

establishing il. As the editors have re-
aaested their contemporaries not to write an

aaea!ied for in US to do so. even if we had

LOCAL AND MISCELLANEOUS
InNoyeRcnis.

From the windows OF our sancsum, We
hare an excelIen. view Of the improvements
going On in the lower part of the city. We
can recline upon our tripod broken chair
a. .ha,-aud watch the various movements
of those engaged in the different branches
of mschanims, incident to the rearing OF
,enements. We can see the mason's assis-
sans, as he plods his weary way up ,he i'Hs
ladder, heavily laden with bod OF orieA o .,
u....- -as,on.;re to the well-known call
Of "more MOTT" We can see the mason
no. free-pIy the srowel to the BRICK ana
mortar surrounding him, for the purpose OF
constructing the wall upon which he IS en-
gaged. We can see, too, that his exereIohs
h.ss the desired effect, for the structure
rise, apace. We can see the carpenter, too,
az he basily pushes the plane or handsaw'
nails On the shingles or siding, etc., as the
case NAV be. or the nature Of the WORK de-
mand. We hear the sound Of the hammer,
the saw, and the trowel, constantly and IN
remit,ingly, from seven in the morning till
six in the evening, all betokening that
Council Bluffs "ssill lives" and that the
work Of building may be said to have fairly
commenced.
Among the various buildings, upon which
workmen are respectively engaged, we note
the foIlowing-the residences of Messrs.
McBRipE, J. r. BALDWIN, W. II. Pussy,
and Tuoxvs OFFICER. These buildings are
being pushed forward at rapid rate.
AxpREw's new Hotel, on the BEALL tract,
is progressing at a fine rate, and looms up
magniiiceIl,ly. The end walls are compile
ted up to the second story. The founda-
ton upon which the superstructure is now
building, is II by l0S feet. The walls
are Of brick, with an iron front on the first
story, and stone caps and stills for the doors
and windows throughout the entire edifce.
IL will be magnificent structure when com
plesed, and an ornament to the city.
We also note the erection Of several
residences between the bluffs, in front of
the residence Of GEORGE DorGHTY, Esq.
Workmen are busil y engaged in excayating
for the new block Of buildings, to be erect
ed on the corner Of Main street and Lower
Broadway, by Messrs. W. c. JAMES and
MlLroS RoGERs.
Messrs. WILLIAMS & DEWEY, the enter
prising builders, have now nearl y compile
ted large frame building, on Jason, near
Munster street. 1t is calculated for the ac-
commodaton of four small families. 1t
will be completed and ready for occupancy
in few days.
We noticed sometime since the erection
of several dwellings, upon the Bayhss K
Palmer Addition, and now record the cor
sruction of another upon the same adIi-
ton.
