contract for the erection of the new
freight warehouse for the St. Paul &
Duluth Railroad company had been let,
and that the work of preparing the site
for the building would begin to-day

failed to Subtantiate the rumor, but Mr..
4arnall. the agent, said that bids for
the work had been sent to the head
offices at st. Paul, and that the contract
would be awarded within few days.
Inc new depot will be erected on the
site just north of the union station. and
will cost about $1,000. Plans were pre-
pared last fall and the building was to
have been erected then, but for various
reasons the work was postponed until
this spring. One objection to the old
warehouse is that there are so many
railroad tracks 10 cross before reaching
it. This nuisance will be obviated when
the new building is constructed.
