such stone buildings is incomparably
greater than that of any other material
| which offers itself in any locality.
Only one fully familiar with architec-
ture could well describe the style and
appearance Of the exterior of this build
ing. a conspicuous feature of which is a
tower on the precise corner of Central
avenue and Second street. On the first
floor this tower is octagonal in shape,
and from the floor line of the second
story this tower corbals from the octagon
to the circular shape, and continues so
throughout the building being capped
with an iron frame design. which, be-
sides being handsome, sustains a flag
staff, which gives a natural and effective
finish to the general design. The vesti-
bules and entrances on the lower floor
are of the Egyptian style. and are mas
sive. effective and convenient. The main
fronts above this floor are in narrow
courses of rock-faced stone than which
could not be imagined more effective
work. The frequent arrangement of
windows breaks the mOnotony of the
stone, and besides affording light in the
Office rooms, assists the design of the
building.
The height of the building has not
been fully determined. If desirable ten
ants can be found and if the plan of the
builders Is not interfered with by labor
troubles which appear to threaten, the
roof may not be put on till the building
reaches a height of five stories
The gentlemen composing the Great
Falls Realty company are we'll known in
this city. The trustees of the company
are: J. Kennedy Tod, of New York city;
T. E. Collins and j. Stewart Tod, of
Great Falls. Some of the stockholders
are: Paris Gibson and Robert Vaughn,
of Great Falls, and others, eastern and
European capitalists. This company
owns, besides the lot on which they are
now building, a number of other valu-
able lots in desirable parts of the bust
ness portion of the city, and it is the in
tention of this company to build on these
lots as the business of the city demands.
These gentlemen have means and expert
ence, and are assisting largely in devel-
oping the of Great Falls and
its surroundings. Every encouragement
should be given them to continue the
good work.
This building now being erected by
the Great Falls Realty company will
have for its distinctive name the Tod
Building. The cost of the structure
may be placed at Sl50.OOO.

THE COREY BLOCK.
Another Elegant Business Structure for
Central Avenue.

Another Elegant Business Structure for
Central avenue.
Large buildings seem especially the
rule this year in Great Falls. Nothing
is done on a small scale and among the
very largest of the buildings is the Corey
block. 1t is named after it's owner, G. B.
Corey, a Boston capitalist, and is being
erected by the well known contractor.
William Roberts.
The building stands on the corner Of
Central avenue and Fifth street. 1t has
a frontage of 100 feet on Central avenue
and of 80 on Fifth street. The main
building, which occupies the corner, is
5Ox15O feet, and the annex, adjoining it
on the west, J0xSG. When completed
the building will be two stories high. Its
entire front, 80 feet long, is of pressed
brick and has a remarkably handsome.
as well as solid, business appearance.
The trimmings are of dressed gray sand
stone taken from the Ulm quarry. The
long high brick front is much enhanced
in it's appearance by what are termed
return corners" a kind of fancy work,
fashioned by artistic laying of the brick.
The main entrance is on Central avenue.
1t slopes from twenty feet in front and
at the end of the corridor is eleven feet,
from wall to wall. 1t is to be handsomely
finished in oak. The side entrance is on
Fifth street and is likewise very imposing
in its appearance.
Four commodious store rooms front
on Central avenue and three on
Fifth street. The doorways leading in
to each of these rooms are broad and
handsomely finished. The second story
contains twenty-five rooms, all finished
in hard oil and with good high ceilings
fully twelve feet. Light is furnished in
this story by forty-five windows, and as
each room is furnished with atleast one,
the supply of light is abundant.
The entire building is surrounded at
the roof by a galvanized iron c%ornice, at
once handsome andneat. The building is
furnished with steam heat and with all
other modern cOnveniences, is well To-
Gated, excellently planned and well con-
structed. Its solid pressed brick front
will add greatly to the appearance Of
Central avenue. The long line of plate
glass windows set in their elegant oak
frames, the handsome d~OOrways, and the
ample windows above, surrounding the
magnificent front entrance, will form a
building worthy acity with the prospects
of Great Falls. The fine brick work re-
fleets great credit on Frank Coombs,
who has it in charge and the entire build
ing will yet further enhance the already
excellent reputation of contractor Will
liam Roberts. The building will be a
100000 monument to the enterprise and
business foresight of its owner.

"By their fruits We shall know them
Wheat grows not out from the rocks no
do the mountain frs bear fruit meet for
a cooks delicate creations. Neither does
a city which has nothing build for itself
handsome and permanent structures,
and then, when it has built these, go on
and build yet more. There are cities,
even in this free country, the siren prom
Uses of which lure the unwary for a time,
but whose promises surely fade into
nothingness, and even on the expansive
and marble cheeks of their boomers the
finger of logic traces the legend: Thus
far and no farther"
Such has not been the character of
Great Falls. Since her very birth her
every promise has been fulfilled. From
an empty prairie waving with green
grass, in a few years has sprung up the
most hourishing city in Montana. Last
year her building was a surprise even to
her admirers. This year promises to
surpass even its predecessor.
Since the first of January last more
building has been done in the city of
wondrous water power than will be
in any city in Montana this year, and
yet contractors say the building season
has barely opened. New people have
built new houses, and, IN the other hand,
the new houses indicate the arrival Of
new people. Last year the assessment

than 80 per cent, was 100000. Since
then. in about six months time. she has
gained almost one-half. Great buildings
have gone up. Her mammoth smelter.
of which So much has been said and
written, will add about S1.50O,0OO. Then
the Tod building. the Bank and Town
site company's building, the Corey
block, the Butte a. Montana Lumber
company's mill, the hospital, the Realty
company's building, the Beachly build
ing and others, besides dwelling houses
almost without number, have added to
swell the valuation. The total figures
of this years building which the TRIBUNE
lays before its readers. make the enor-
nous sum of s2,233,OOO. OF this
s13S,5OO belongs to dwellings alone.
A list of the main ones of this class,
though not all, have been col
lected. Where SO many are being built
it would be almost a miracle if some
were not missed. The work goes on
constantly. 1t increases and will con-
tinue so to do. Capitalists have long
since recognized the magnificent posi-
bilities of the Cataract City. She is on
the move forward and her splendid
progress cannot be stayed.

Another building, which when com
pleted will furnish employment for many
men, and which will be such an institu-
ton as a city may well boast of, is the
Butte & Montana Commercial Co.'S mill.
Facing the turbid Missouri it looks on a
great mass of logs. which probably con
tain 10,OO0,OOO feet of lumber, this being
about half the amount cut for the com
pany last winter. The main building
measures 12SxGO feet, its wing 5Ox32,
The engine room is 32x4O feet in size and
the boiler room 5Ox5O feet, both of these
latter being built of brick. The main
building and its wing contain three
stories. The first and second are de-
voted to machinery and the third or up
per story to saving. A Corliss engine
from five to eight hundred horse power
runs the machinery of the great mill.
In the boiler room adjoining it are six
boilers fifty inches in diameter by twenty
feet in length. Two circulars, an edger,
a trimmer, a lath and single machine
make up the machinery, which will re-
quire a force of from fifty to one hun
dred to keep running. The mill has the
enormous capacity of 125,O0O feet per
day and should the weather permit will
be in running order, all wheels turning.
some time about July LIST. 1t will be
managed by w. f. Bagley, an ex-
perienced millwright, and will cost at
least 100000. Mr.. j. L. Harris is the
superintendent of the company.

THE TOD
A Magnificent Five-Story Structure Which
Will BE the Handsoinest Build
ing in Montana.

One of the handsomest buildings in
this state is now in course of construc-
ton on the corner of Central avenue and
Second street. and is being built by and
for the Great Falls Realty company.
The architects for this building are
Messrs. Mendlesohn, Fisher IL Lawrie,
and the structural design reflects great
credit upon that well-known firm.
This building is situated on the main
th%oroughfare and on one of the best cor
ners in the heart Of the city. The build
ing occupies fifty feet frontage on Cen
trial avenue and one hundred and fifty
feet on Second street. The first floor OF
the building is designed for a handsome
banking office the floor Of which il
slightly raised from the street level. The
arrangement of this Office is most con
venient for the public and the working
force Of a bank. From a vestibule
through which is the main entrance tc
the banking Office, another large office
or store takes its entrance. These offices
will be among the h~andsomest and most
commOdious in the city.
At the center of the building on Sec.
ond street is the entrance to the Office
rooms on the upper floors Of this build
ing. These office rooms are well ar
ranged and lighted. BY a well arranged
system Of light wells and shafts each
Office room Of the building is Lighted

There are besides these great build
ings certain others which have been al
ready fully described for readers of the
TRIBUNE. They are of incalculable ben
eft to the city and rank among it's most
important improvements.
For example, another improvement
which the Cataract City is to have in 81
is the Fifteenth street bridge. This the
Wrought Iron Bridge company of Can
ton, Ohio, will build for the county at a
cost of $4,000. 1t is to be of seven 100
foot spans set on eight stone piers of
solid masonry, fourteen feet high, and
will be l,O7O feet long. At each end it is
met by a 1-foot roadway. The middle
of the bridge is occupied by a 2O-foot
roadway, which is fianked on either side
by walks three feet wide. The cost of
building this new bridge and the amount
spent on the old one will make $4,000.
