The past year has seen many i'm
provements in Anaconda. There have
been a number Of handsome and even
m~agnifcen; buildings erected in the
city in recent months, and there are at
present under curse of construction
some of the grandest buildings that
can be boosted of by any city in these
parts. The buildings that have risen
upon the streets of Anaconda during
the past year-such great piles as the
Hearst Free Library building, the Ours
ton building and others-will be fully
eoualled by those now in the hands of
the contractors.
First of all. there is the Lincoln
school building. That structure will be
the handsomest ward school in these
parts. and il is built in a manner so
substantial that years of wind and
weather will not affect IL. The Lin
coin school building was begun last
spring. The contract calls for its COM
pletion in a months time from the pres
ent date, and the contractors promise
TO have the structure completed by the
10th of August. or the 18th at the
farthest. The building is a typical
school building. well proportioned, well
lighted, well ventilated. and forms al
together an imposing structure. situ-
ated as IL is on a slight eminence over
looking the city. The briefest survey
of the new school building will convince
one that il is built TO stay, and that
everything about il has been looked
after in a workmanlike manner. When
il is completed the people of Anaconda
may even give thanks that the old Lin
coin school fell a victim to the flames,
for the new structure that replaces II
will be a source of pride to all of them.
The Lincoln school will cost about s4S,-
900, including everything. II will con-
tain u c~ommodious class rooms, each
capable of accommodating in the neigh
borhood of so pupils. In addition to
these IL rooms there are three rooms in
the basement which are well lighted
and in every way adapted to school
purposes. The board will fit these three
rooms for class rooms If II becomes evil
dent that the enrolment this fall re-
quires 1t.
The MacCallum & Cloutier block Is To-
Gated at the corner of Park avenue and
Chestnut streets. directly opposite the
building now occupied by the firm. 1t
is a two-story brick building. whose
outlines are splendid specimens of the
architects art. The building cover a
space of ground 140x50 feet and faces on
Park avenue, but also furnishes a hand
some adornmen to Chestnut street.
The building is so far progressed that
the bricklayers have removed their APP
paratus and il will now be given into
the hands of the carpenters, roofers and
finishers. Two weeks will suffice to
complete the building. 1t will be occu-
pied. both first and second floors, by
the firm which is constructing it. The
building will cost about $50, 600.
81. Peters Catholic church, at the
corner of Alder and Fourth streets, is
also nearing completion. and three
weeks more win see the dedication cere-
mony in this edifice. The building is
located at the southeast corner of AL
der M Fourth streets and faces west
sshx37 feet. 1t is built of brick.
trimmed with stone. and will afford a
seating capacity of fully $50 persons.
The church, while open TO all. as every
Catholic church is. is to be more espe-
cially devoted to the uses of the Aus
tro-American population. The compile
ton of the new church will greatly re-
l1eve the crowded condition of st. Paurs
Catholic church, where many are un-
able to find accommodation. The first
cost of the building will be about &c.
600, exclusive of the fittings, fixtures
and furniture, and other extras, which
will bring the cost up to a much larger
total.
The Flood building at the southeast
corner Of Park avenue and Oak street.
will be one of the most imposing struc-
lures in the city. As yet IT has not
progressed beyond the foundation, but
