Iowa Falls, Nov. 25.-The close of the
building season in this city shows that
the present year has added improve

a normal one for the city, promises to
be duplicated if not increased next year.
These improvements are the natural

matter of congratulation. The growth
has been about equally divided between
the business and residence part OF the
city and among the larger expenditures
are the Harrington & Taylor Ellsworth
block of four business houses, the h. S.
Ellsworth double, three-story brick
block and the Ellsworth & Jones three
story bank building. Among the finer
residences are the r. c. Kennedy and
X. C. Curtis dwellings. built at cost
of $4,000 and $4,000. The coming year
promises substantial improvements in

hot and brown. They thought they
couldn't stand 1t, SO they called on him
Saturday and demanded that Glib"
