WEST ST. PAUL.

1t is Sharing In the General Boom of Bus
mess Prosperity--Another Large Manu-
factory Established and In Course of
Erection by Messrs. Archibald g. Schur-
meier--0,her Improvements.
West st. Paul, or in other words, the
Sixth ward, is sharing largely in the boom of
improvements whichlis permeating every por-
ton of st. Paul this year. The casual OBJ
server can see at glance that in every di-
rection in this ward buildings are springing
up as if by ma gic, but birds-eye view does
not disclose 1.-THE of the improvements in
progress, let alone those in contemplation.
A GLOBE representative visited the West
side yesterday, and in the course of an
hour, learned enough, and saw enough, to
fill columns, If the attempt was made to give
in detail description of all the work that
is in progress.
LINsEED OIL MANUFACToRY.
First, Messrs. Archibald & Schumeir have
Just let the contract for the erection of a
building to be used In the manufacture of
linseed oil. Their grounds are located short
are sufficient in extent to carry on one of the
largest establishments of this kind Oh the
American continent. Their present contract
contemplates building of 40 feet front by
ITO feet deep, with the ultimate design of
making the building 200 feet deep. 1t will
be three stories high, and built of stone, and
some idea of it's solidity can be judged from
the fact that the contract calls for one of its
foA s,k
for the foundation has already been
broken, and most of the stone for the build
ing has already been quarried. Mr.. w. L.
Gleason has the contract for quarrying the
stone, and Mr.. Adam Rsu has the contract
for doing the stone work. The building
will be completed in time to commence oper-
ations this coming fall. This will add an
other large manufacturing establishment
along the river bank, from the railroad
bridge down to the new saw mill lately erect
ed by Captain Cutter. Here we have started
within few months this oil mill, Jagger's
brick yard (mention of which has heretofore
been made in the GLOBE which gives en-
ployment to some forty men, and
is turning out from 10000 to $4,000
brick per day, and Cutters saw mill,
which gives employment, directly and in
QlT0Ctl1y W uSoIly uo hAouJ AOIo Auo1fS duu
is manufacturing from $4,000 to $4,000 feet
of lumber per day.
Nor is this all that the GLOBE man saw
and heard ia the brief hour he was purusing
his Investigations. Yesterday, that irrepres-
sible and energetic individual, so fsmiliarly
known as Jerry MCCARTHY, broke ground for
three more buildings, to be erected Imme-
diately on his block, making in all fourteen
buildings that will recognize our enterprising
citizen as their owner in the Sixth ward. If
Jerry keeps on, the GLOBE would suggest
that the name of West st. Paul be changed
to that of McCarthyville.
And now we come to another point which
in the near future is calculated to have an
important bearing upon the future prospects
of West st. Paul. In view of the constant
" increasing manufacturing establishments
which are rapidly multiplying on the other
side of the river the attention of the railroad
companies have been called to the necessity,
for means to reach them, and the GLOBE is
informed on good authority that negotiations
are already in progress for building spur
track from point near the railroad bridge
down past the oil mill, brick yard, saw mill
and thence to a point opposite the lower
steamboat landing. But of this more anon.
It is sufficient to say that the prospects of
West st. Paul are bright with hopes for the
future.
