THE NEW BUILDIN0A
Brief Sketch OF Some of the Struc-
lures to Be Erected at Once.

lures to BE Erected at Once.
The list of new buildings to be erected
At once is rapidly incre asing. The capi-
talists seem to have been encouraged by
the determined spirit displayed BY the
business men in ordering goods and
could find or get into, and they seem to
have no hesitancy in putting their capi-
tai into new and magnificent structures
to replace those now in ruins.
IL can be safely said that the Frank.
furt, Tull, Postotfice, Cannon, Browne,
Hyde, Eagle, Washington, Falls City,
Union, Jameson, Ziegler and Ide blocks
will be replaced and in more magnifi-
cent and modern style.
Besides these large number of other
new blocks, which were in course of cree
ton, including the Granite, Tidbolt,
Nichols, Brook Il Burch, Lamona and
Opera House blocks, all of which arc
planned for high and beautiful struct-
ures, will be put up as fast as possible.
A great many more are considering
the matter of building, but have not
fully decided upon what kind of struot-
ure they propose to erect.
The Northern Pacific will put in some
handsome buildings to replace their old
ones.
The different architects in the city
have been kept busy the past few DAYS
drawing up plans, and each following
day adds TO their labors. One ofthe arch
itects has been receiving orders for plans
at the rate ofthree or four day, while the
others are getting about all they can
handle.
A few of those contemplating building
are somewhat afraid of the granite,
which they seem to regard as not the
best material, but the architects and
builders are doing tEeir best to persuade
them that no better building stone can
be found than the granite we have here
and they strongly urge that it be used
and used extensively. They explain
that limestone, which is used largely in
Eastern cities, heated as the stone in the
buildings here was, will crumble when
water is applied.
Quite good many are taking their
old walls down very carefully and are
preserving the brick, which will make n
great saving. There seems to be little
doubt now that building material will
be plentiful.
II is generally conceded by all that
the burnt district will soon be rebuilt,
and that by the Ist of January Won
derful change will be wrought in the
city.
The following is the list of proposed
buildings, as far as ascertained.
The best evidence that Spokane Fall
will soon rise from the ashes and assume
her former position, only on grander
scale, is the fact that property owners
within the burnt district have already
commenced to figure upon new build
ings, A large number have already de-
cided upon the structures they will erect,
and when questioned with reference to
the character of their proposed struc-
lures they say: "We win build much
higher and better buildings" The only
thing that can possibly deter the progress
of building will be the lack of material,
and it is hardly thought there will be
any trouble from this source since the
Northern Pacific Company have igni-
fled their intention and willingness to
assist the city in the way of transport
ing building material, The city is for
tunately supplied with an excellent
quality of building stone and lumber,
which can be furnished in abundance.
