Rome was not Built i'll Day, nor was
Any Other City,
BUT WETER demonstrating
Just About how Quick Great Commercial
Center Can be Created.

The final adjustment Of all differ
ences between the town company and
the railroad company has started the
long delayed move in tile erection of
business buildings and many new
residences as well. OF course the
present is only starter and to be
followed by al increased and steady
growth, that is necessary to meet the
necessary business demands There
is nothing Of the ''boom" nature in
all this. True, property is advanc-
ing and prices have been established,
that is to say, the minimum
and the margin for speculation
subject left to individual Judgment
So far all the property bought will be
improved at once. On the north side
of Commercial street opposite the
Hotel Weiser Block, all the lots have
been sold and brick business houses
are under construction or contracted
for The first building is 40 foot
'front.' for A. Eoff; east of this 30
foot building will he erected by Mr.
Fuller, lately from Florida, who also
has purchased fraction west of the
Mulloy corner. Mr. Simmons will
occupy the next 80 feet with brick,
and James Patton has the next 80
| feet between Simmons and Coakley.
This will give solid brick front from
Jenneys drug store to the Mulloy
corner opposite the brewery building.
Mrs james Patton has bought the
lois on which the soda factory stands
and the frontage as far us the little
building known as the Novelty Works
MIR. Tom Coffee, of Atchison Kan
sas, brother of Mrs Patton, has
bought the small brick and ground
luts-whcre w w. GOWN resides.
Work on S. Sommers' brick. next
west of Sears is progressing. Stone
is being hauled for the foundation
of Sommercamps new store joining
the Ayers building The foundation
for the new store east of the Bank
of WeiseI is complete and brick lay
ing commenced Wednesday This
block will be improved by an addi-
cional story on the bank and third
story on the Hotel Weser. Con
tractors have also commenced work
on Mrs Slephenson's new lodging
house on the corner west of the Ven
dome. All these will give CONNER
cial street boom that cannot fail to
give it business prominence that
will make it u center for some time
to come.
= AS there are no vacant residences
in town new corners are forced to buy
or build. Mr. N. B Merritt will
build an addition at once to The
Newman house recently purchased by
him and many Others are contem
plated.
0 In addition to these are the Som
= mercamp, Davis, Butterfeld an'
Morehead residences, all fine struct
ures, and the Catholic church.
The weekly pay roll from thes
' sources alone amounts to $1,000 pc
week.
Mr.. Gordon Of the Weiser Brio
- Yards is doing his best to keep hi
: product up to the demand and no dc
Law is feared unless it be want G
wood, and this can only occur frol
want of cars for transportation, au

w. Property generally has advanced
and as it is changing hands readll
at present prices, an advance ca
:. readily be expected, but as befo
stated, so far as heard from, no Il
yestments have been made for spe
w. ulation; all for occupation and IN
mediate improvement.
