La our resume of building and manu-.
featuring last week we overlooked a
house built by Major Laney on the Plains
and one moved and rebuilt by Archie

erection of an addition to his house and
the establishment of bakery by George
Butler. There are probably other build
ing operations that we have not observ-
ed. Take 1t all in all, a very respectable
amount of work has been done In the
construction line for town OF this size,
not boom town.
