1876 votes in this county, which would

Enterprise and Progress.

The frame of the new store Of Hon.
u. Simmons in Little Falls was raised
on Monday last. Mr.. Summons will
have warehouse built east Of the
store, "a by 60 feet in size. Over
80, 900 feet Of lumber will be used in
the construction of the store and
warehouse. He will also put up a
building 20 by 30 feet for Smith &
Nichols meat market. The building
for the store will be one of the finest
structures in Northern Minnesota,
Judging by the draughts prepared by
HI. L. White, the architect. 1t is ln-
tended to complete the work and have
the building ready for occupancy
about October first: The firm Of Sim
mons, Worthington & Tanner will then
put in as large a stock of goods as the
store and warehouse can conveniently
. :.
hold. We have not learned the esti>
mated cost of the stock Of goods, but
would judge that it will not be less
than twenty thousand dollars. Mr..
Simmons intends to build several good
tenement houses as soon as he Gao pro-
cure good dry lumber. at reasonable
prices. Dry lumber is so scarce and
high at present that he, will probably
not build until next spring. Now
that is what we call enterprise. Mr..
Simmons has great expectations in re-
gard to the future Of Little Falls, and
expresses the opinion that it will be-
come the largest town in the State
excepting St. Paul and Minneapolis.
