Twin Bridges. Aug. 27.-As the season
advances it becomes more apparent that
the Bridges will be considerable of a
place before snow flies. The town has
experienced a good healthy growth
since the advent of the railroad and the
outlook is very promising for the con
tinuance of the growth. One grand
feature about Montana is that building
operations is that they can be carried
on without stops by the weather up to
the holidays and sometimes until
March.
The ~liveliest street in town is Third
avenue, leading from Main to the depot.
On this street John Dullea, the mer-
chant prince of Silver Star, is building
his large brick mercantile store. The
brick work is finished up TO the second
noor and the walls are lined with ma
sons who are pushing the work with
vengeance. Mr.. Dullea will divide his
attention between his interests here and
the Star. Mrs. Ben Pfdgeon. who con-
ducts the Point of Rocks hotel, has con-
cluded to locate here and is erecting
a two-story brick-veneered house,
which will be used largely for a baker
shop. The new bank building, which
will be the future home of the Bank
Of Twin Bridges" will be on this
street and the corner of Main. The
structure will be a handsome one and
built of brick. For the present bushes

I. Whites. Cashier Wilcomb stated
to the Standard man that plans and
specifications We're in the hands of con-
tractors and that the bids for construc-
ton work would be awarded in a few
days. Henry Springer. who recently
came from Parrott, has finished the
foundation work and Will have the car
penters and masons at work next week
on his two-story house. which is also
on this street. A frame building on
Madison street, near the depot. is about
completed, and will be used by j.. w.
Hartwell e. Son as a general store for
produce, hay, grain, etc. Charley Coch-
ran of Iron Rod has purchased a lot on
North Madison and will have a dwelling
house built for his family. Building
on Main street has been rather back
ward partly owing to the high prices
set on real estate. However. several
business houses will be added to this
street before fall. Cox & Pyle, the Dill
Ion butchers and cattle dealers have
to branch out and selected
this place for their new adventure.
They purchased a piece of ground near
the City drug store and will be ready
for business some time e month. II.
a. Pease, proprietor of the City Drug
Store, secured the ground on the corner
of Third avenue and Main street. but
not decided just what kind of a
he will erect. Work on the
building has been delayed several
times for the want of material. This
building will, when completed, be an
to the town and a much
addition to the State orphans'
home Normal addition II III, ,,,,,A-.- /
