the frail and iniammable buildings Of
the town.

was in the same row as the ate.

the enemy In the outskirts Of Iloilo
but not an American was injured.

BUILDING THE CITY.
New Telephone Service. Long sance
PhonnEe To Come Next. Going
to Meet Our Destiny

The Colorado Telephone company
which has the present system in opera
tion n this city, is prop sing and ex-
poets to have in operation very shortly
the manual system to extendthroughout
the city ana the ranches and the smaller
toN ns contiguous to this city.
The manual system means a system by
which all phones are connected with a
central station, where day and night
serv .ce is maintained.
This is certainly matter upon which
the public can congratulate ITSELF as the
present system is unsatisfactory to such
an extent that it's subscribers are few,
thereby lessening the service to the sub
scribers.
The need OF first class telephone
service is becoming more apparent each
day. Institutions of mercantile char
acter, which had no being, when the
present unsatisfactory system was
placed in operation, now demandan
adequate service for the transacting of
their business and this has been a NOV
ing and potent factor in determining the
company to enlarge it's system in Grand
Junction, with day and night service
and proportionate patronage, the value
Of the new and designed system OF con-
munication by phone, will be OF incalcu-
able benefit to the city.
This is however, only the beginning of
opening opportunities for communica-
ton, The long distance system, by
which we may connect with almost any
portion OF the state, is comparatively
close at hand AT the present time it
is being extended from Aspen to Glen
wood, and said William Warren Fraser,
the companys contracting agent" it lies
alone with the people of this city
whether or not line time shall not be
brought at once TO- this city. am ready
as the representative Of my company, to
say if any comparative encouragement
is extended in this city and along the
line, the connecting link between this
city and Glenwood will be built"
OF the benefits Of long distance tele-
phone connection to the material devel-
opment Of any city, it is unnecessary to
enumerate. Those who would COM
mand the service did it exist, already
know and will hail the day with de-
light when the connection 10 made.
This is building Greater Grand juno

THE LEE BUILDING.

One of the homdsomest and most sub
staLtial business buildings erected in
the city, for commercial purposes, is the
w. H. Leo building on the south side
OF Main street, bstween 4th and 5th
streets.
The building occupies the site of the
old frame store building. SO long occu-
pied by w. 81. Lee and then by w. II.
Lee and Son, which was destroyed by
fire some little time ago.
The building is brick. The front is of
a cut press brick of new design, pre-
senting a very agreeable contrast to the
plain brick fronts. A corrugated iron
cornice, of late pattern surmounts the
brick giving handsome and tastful
effect to the entire front The display
windows are cut low and set flush with
the pavement. Through them the in
terror OF the store is seen to advantage
Here is the place, however where the
work is to be done and here every detail
for the easy dispatch Of business has
been added. The floor is OF oiled hard
wood. The ceiling and sides are hand
somely calsomined. On the left in the
rear is the great ice chest where the
meats will be kept at the proper temper
ature. BY the side Of this, with pas
page between is the Office OF the firm,
we'll located, commanding the whole
store and easy Of access.
The shelving is all set on iron brackets
removable or adjustable, The counters
are new, as is everything else in the es-
tablishment
The firm ofW. II. Lee Il Son is one Of
the Oldest established in the city. For
many years the business was conducted
w. h. Lee and lately by himself and
son Frank. 1t is pleasant to know that
it is the old firms in the city which are
keeping in the van Of ofprogress. 1t shows
good business ability and is profitable.
