ter.



DULUTH. May 25.-The building sea-
son is now fairly opened and a fair esti-
mate of the aggregate work can be ar
rived at. In round numbers the value
of improvements made during 1889 will
easily reach $4,000, 900 for Duluth proper,
with full another s1.OOO,OOO for West
Duluth and other suburban portions.
Of the principal buildings in course of
erection the chamber of commerce
and Masonic Temple lead with an out
lay Of s25O,OOO and 100000 respectively,
though but three-fourths of this
amount will likely be expended before
winter. The Palladio building comes
next, with cost of S175,O0O. and the
Pastoret & Stenson block at cost of
Sl25,G0). The Henderson block will
eventually cost $4,000 though present
leases Oh buildings occupying its site
will not permit of an expenditure of
over $4,000. Wieland Brothers will eX-
pend $4,000 on their new business
block, and the Lincoln school building
will cost another $4,000. Freight
depOts will cost another $4,000, and
mary. Two hundred thousand dollars
expended in the West end in sums of
$500 to $4,000. while contracts let
for unenumerated buildings on Superior
street and avenues to Fourth street will
double this figure. The gas and water
company promises to spend $500, 1000 in
improving its system, and the street
railway company expects to eXpend con-
siderable money In extending its lines.
but these amounts are not included in
the total above indicated. With no
prospect of labor troubles to impede
progress. 1890 will dawn upon Duluth
an almost revolutionized city.
THAT UNION DEPOT.
Duluth is still sore over the shabby
treatment she has received at the hands
of the so-called "Union Depot COM
pany." In conversation with Mayor
Sutphin this morning over the matter.
that gentleman seemed to forget he had
just got out of a sick bed, so irate did he
become. Why" said he. 1.-The city
council has done its entire duty in this
whole matter, and it is my firm cOnvic-
ton now that the company has been
playing game of bluff from the be-
ginning; it never intended to do any
thing" And the mayor echoed the
sentiment of nine out of every ten repu-
himself. but not content with this
he added: 'If this cOmpany-the st.
Paul Il Duluth-shouldp pick up it's whole
track, depot, service and all. and move
out of the country. Duluth would never
miss it, nor know that she ever had it.
except as she might occasionally see it
mentioned in newspapers" 1t mem
berS of the company are afflicted with
burning of the ears, they may know the
cause.
