BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS
NOW IN PROGRESS IN
THIS VILLAGE.

MOTIFS is now enjoying q genuine and
substantial Improvement boom, and We
feel justified in asserting that our village
is growing with as rapid strides as any
town in the state. 1t i, not a mushroom
growth, like many frontier towns, but of
permanent and durable character. New
dwellings. stores and other Improvements
on property, are the surest signs of a flour
ishing and thrifty town, and are certain in
dications of life, vigor and prosperity.
The following are the names of our resi-
dents who are building and extending their
dwellings and business premises.
Mr.. James Egan of the Emmett House
has about completed the large addition to
his hotel, and is now having the interior
finished. The enlargement adds ten or
twelve sleeping rooms and a large parlor,
and doubles the Accommodations.
The Big Stone House has had large ell
added to it, which will increase the facili-
ties and enable the proprietor, Mr.. DAILY,
to entertain a greater number of guests
than heretofore.
Our four story hotel, the Metropolitan,
is receiving the finishing touches, and will
soon be completed. The three lower
stories are already being furnished, and
such is the demand for Accommodations,
that the proprietor, Mr.. Elmer, is COMPEL
ed, besides doubling up his guests, TO put
up from one to three additional beds in each
room. The hotel when completed will be
one of the largest in this section of country,
and will greatly add to and increase our
overcrowded hotel Accommodations.
Mr. L. w. Curtiss has a neat and cosy
little dwelling about enclosed and will soon
have it ready for occupancy. This class
of Improvements, dwellings, are what we
like to see, and the more the merrier.
Mr.. John Bissonette's new and tasty
home is all enclosed, and about ready fol-
the finishing touches, and judging from
its appearance it will be one of the neatesl
cottages in town.
Mr.. Baily has had the carpenter shop
which formerly stood on Sixth St., moved
to the lots adjoining Mr.. Curtiss' on Eighth
st. and will have it remodelled, fitted anG
finished. The building is to be for rent Of
otherwise, but if reports are true we think
it will be otherwise.
A new building to be used as bakery
has recently been built on Sixth st. wes
siGe, and it is expected that the institution
will be in running order next week W.
were going to remark something about M
loaf.ing, but it would be too horrible a pun
to slice into batch of business dough
People might say there was no need of it
Our Express Agent, Mr.. L. H. Rohne, il
having residence built on the lots in TIN
rear of the new school house. Work OF
the building is being pushed forward rapid
ly and it will be completed and ready in /
short time. The location is an excellen
one.
Our bus mess men also find it necessary
to keep extending, and quite number O
stores are being enlarged. p. J. Elmquis
is having an addition added to his premise
and calculates to make still further i'm
provements as soon as business will wal
rant it.

In about week. The addition will doubl
