As to the style or the size of the pro-
posed building, which is to be dedicated to
the union men of Great Falls and Cascade
county, nothing definite has yet been
agreed upon. The general idea that meets

ture of stone and brick. The ground floor
viii be rented for store purposes. the Sec
ond floor will be used for lodge rooms,
while on the top floor there will be large
! hall. The last named will be the most
commodious hall in the state and will in
