Structure to Be Erected on
Woods Site.
MODERN STORE CONTEMPLATED.
Three Story Buildings are Said Not
to Pay.
jNSIGHTLY RUINS WILL BE CLEARED.
One of the Finest Corners for Business in
the Lity-Ground Floor Space
to be Ample.

1t has practically been decided by 5,
A. Wood to construct building on the
site of the destroyed Wagner store, sth
and Franklin streets The present Lur-
pose of the owner Of the ground is to
build modern two story store, with
the same length of ground space as that
occupied by the Ernst Wagner Co. The
store will be modern in all particulars
and there will be little trouble in rent
ing it,
The second floor will be devoted to Of
fees, and these will be let out to profes.
sional men, or any business that can be
transacted on second floor.
The work Of tearing down the walls
will begin within a week or two and
the unsightly ruins will be thing of
the past.
The shoe store of Carl Luebke, which
was also scorched by the fire, is to be re-
rooted and Mr.. Luebke will continue to
do business at the old stand
1t is the general impression that a
three story building will not pay, that
is why Mr. Wood has practically decid.
ed TO build only two stories.

DRY DOCK NEG0TlA.
TIONS ARE YET
UNDER CONSIDERATION

Henry Burger is authority for the
statement that the negotiations for the
purchase Of his shipy ard property, by
the Chicago Dry Dock Co.. are not yet
closed. 1t is still an open question
whether dry dock will be built here,
but everybody is hoping that it may be
SO, because the effect of such an indus
try would be very beneficial to the town
generally. 1t would help the merchants
very greatly, besides it would give EN-
ployment to many men who come here
from abroad, thus helping TO swell the
population.

much manure he wants in his cheese
than you do; then he can mix to suit
