We figured bill of lumber for firm
of contractors in Medicine Lodge this
week, for hotel to be built in this town
which will be daisy. 1t will be built
after the most convenient modern style
and will be by far the finest house in
the county. This will be the first step
toward the spring boom we have pre-
dicted for Nescutunga.-N escutunga
Kansan.
1t appears that we were in error last
week in stating that the city council
would be asked to appropriate $3.50 for
a bridge on West First avenue. The
proposition was to appropriate 800 for
grading that avenue and $3.50 for grad
ing Kansas avenue. We also learn that
there is a probability of $500 being APP
propriated for the grading of each
street. and that citizens have subscribed
for the building OF the bridge.
