Another Important Improvement by the
st. Paul, Minneapolis s. Manitoba Rail-.
road Company-New Headquarters Build
ing-Other Building Notes. ,, ,t,
The benefits to result to st. Paul and the
State from the ending of the litigation which
for years has hung like a pail over the st.
Paul & Pacific railroad company, and the
transfer Of the affairs of that company into
the hands of new organization with Messrs.
Stephen, Kittson, Smith and Hill at the head
of the management, under the title of the ST.,
Paul, Minneapolis g. Manitoba railway compa-
ny, promise to be much moro important than
the most sanguine have anticipated. One
result is the early completion of the union
depot. Another is enlarged elevator facili-
ties. Another, mentioned by the GLOBE q
few days since, is the immediate construc-
ton of two fire proof freight houses, SO by
400 feet, and for which work upon the foun-
dation is already advanced. g,az
But this is not ALL By the building of the
union depot, it became necessary for the st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba COM
pany to Look out for new head
quarters. To see the necessity
is to act with the new company, and hence
the GLOBE has the pleasure of announcing
this morning the purchase of a lot Of Mr..
D. M. Robbins, corner of Fourth and Wa
couta streets, upon which the company will
Immediately proceed TO erect headquarters
building. The main dimensions. Of the
building will be 5Ox125 on the ground, and
four stories in height. AS the plans for the
interior of the structure have not yet been
made and the outside finish definitely
determined upon, the GLoBE cannot
give a detailed description of the
edifce this morning. Suffice it, that it is to
be fire.proof, and in it's architectural designs
and finish will be the most striking and
handsome building in the city, and the etequal
of any in the Northwest Work will be
commenced this week, and the building
hurried to completion. al, '.4r5l}
While the management of the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba are thus actively
engaged in building up St. Paul, other inter
ests are keeping step to the music. The
handsome and imposing bailding being
put up by the German j., American
bank for its own use, on Third street be-
tween Minnesota and Robert streets, is en-
closed and is rapidly being got ready for oc-
.cupancy. The. four story brick of D.
Schultz, corner .of Fourth and Wacouta
streets, is going up rapidly, the brick layers
now being at work on the second story. The
three story brick being erected by Mr.. Joh1
Fl. Willoughby, corner of Robert and Fourth
streets, is equally we'll advanced. Going
over onto Jackson street and a large force O.
brick layers will, be found at work upo1
the fine block of four stores being built b.
Commodore VIM. T. Davidson. Coming VI
to Wabashaw and Sixth streets, q busy seem

being made for four story brick block o
four stores, and negotiations are pending
for another structure of the sane size. Pass
ing up Wabashaw square and half and
. new foundation will be observed for tw
stores, three stories in height, and in fe1
days the excavation for the new marke
house will be commenced. Many other i'm
provements of equal Importance might b
mentioned, but these are sufficient to sho'
that st. Paul is spreading out and occupyin
the waste places in it's limits. 81"
