had set in. The land was bought dur

notices were given the owners of four

yarns for the goods are to be bought.
Samples Of the goods are already on

At the present time the mill is used in
the manufacture of the samples of the

six months. Already the weavers are
beginning to come to town and new

While this gain in itself may seem
small Yet the significant fact
is that good part Of the
building that has been done
will tend to upbuild the city in a com
mercial way. y good part of the
building that has been done is that of
erecting new industries. And among
these are the plant of the RiVerVieW
Worsted Mill Company. that of the
Whittemore Furniture Company, that
Of the Waterville Creamery, the addi-
tions to the Weber & Philbrook foun-
dry and most important Of all the
plant of the Union Gas < Electric
Company.
The plant of WhittemoTe Company
has been written up in detail. The
story of the enterprise of the men in
the company. how the build
ing was started and within less
than IA month after that time was
completed. has been told in the Jour
nal and is familiar to all. 1t is sufii-
cient to say that last July the com
pany had practically dropped out If
existence and the goods We're almost
unknown on the market, no attempt
having been made to interest tho
trade. Now the business has SO in
creased that it has been necessary to
double the crew.
Another important building is that
of the Waterville Beef Company. Al
though the company has been doing
business on small scale comparative
~ yet it has been 50 increased that il

surrounding territory will be able To
be handled with the greatest ease.
The finest piece of building has been
done by 5. F. Brann. This was for the
late Hon l. c. Libby and was stable
that was erected on Highland avenue.
This stable is built and furnished as
we'll as any home in the city. 1t is
two stories high and is one Of the best
in the State This was erected at a
cost Of about $4,000. 1t is fitted with
electric lights and every modern i'm
provement
In addition to that, five houses We're
built on Brook street. These Were
companion houses and We're built Tor
letting. Each is a story and half
house. and they We're erected ut a cost
of about $500 each. at the orders 81
Mr. Libby.
Hon. w r. Haines came in for MS
share Of the building, ana has built 2
new cottage on Sanger avenue. TINS pc
ing the first time that he has at
tempted to open up this section This
cottage is a story and a half building
ana cost about $500. The style IS
something of q departure from IN"
others built this year and is rather
more imposing. In addition to this ne
has made extensive repairs to the
building on Main street. The ROOT mas
been raised 50 that an additional story
is given. and alterations have betn
made by which the building is made
mare convenient for the tenants. IN
addition he has completely renovated

will occupy this for a dwelling.
In the business section the most
notable change is that Of the Carleton
