Among the large number OF fine bust
ness blocks which have been erected 10
Laur,um this summer there is perhaps
none that in as large and as prominent
as the one now near.y completed on the
corner OF Hecla and Fourth streets, dia-
gonally opposite to the store OF johnson
Vivian X Co. The building is being built
by BAZAAR & Ulseth for Mr.. W. M. Har-
| rfs. The frame work on the structure is
already up and the plaster.rs have nearly
! completed their work and the contrac-
tors hope to have It ready for occupancy
within month or two. The building il
| located in the most desirable portion OF
the village and the proprietor will find
little or no trouble in renting the build
| ing. In fact there have been numerous
applications for the two store rooms, but
it has not yet been rented.
The main floor OF the building is fifty
feet in width and sixty long. It is div
ided into two good sized business places,
one OF which is twenty-five feet wide and
sixty long and the other twenty-five feet
wide and 80 feet long. Beside these there
are four living rooms on the first floor in
the rear of the smaller of the two stores.
Both stores have the entrance in the
middle OF the front and have recess door
ways. They have plate glass fronts and

will be hardwood floors and the other
wood work will be in natural pine.
The exterior Of the building is set off
by two towers, one on each corner OF the
front which run up some little distance
and doa great deal toward relieving the
monotony OF the appearance which often
detracts from the general effect of store
buildings. The towers are circular and
are covered with galvanized iron with
copper tops. In the middle OF the front
OF the building on the top is a pedinent
with iron corDice work which also adds
great deal to its appearance.
A stairway in the center of the bnilding
leads TO the second floor and IA long hall |
way extends through the middle of the
second floor. There are eight comforta-
BILE living rooms with a wide porch ex
tending across the rear end. The build. |
ing will be covered with the celebrated |
Spartan roofing.

add to their already well equipped sta
bles. lt came from the kimball carriage
work at Oshkosh and is the latest pattern
back built. 1t is finished deliberately in
SIDE and out and will make one of the
SWEETEST turnouts in the city. The hack
cost almost $1,000. The firm yesterday
shipped one OF their old hack backs to be
repaired and renoyoted.
There will be special meeting OF the
Laurium council soon to decide about
the sewer pipe up Kearsarge
street from the main line on the Old
Torch Lake Road, 1t is question
whether it is more desirable to run the
)Ipe line up the street or the alleys.
Mr.. Il Z. Chamberlain has model OF a
now pillow for cleaning sidewalks which
lie has shown the village council and
which may be purchased for use thiswlnter.
& has always cost the village considera-
,le to keep the walks in passable con-
lition, let alone keeping them free from
now. The new pillow is not expensive
Ind from the principal it works on would
do the work to perfection, and
It small cost comparatively.
