we;srerber Building Will be Oae
of the HandsOmest Struct.,
ures in Lewiston

Tho new Weisgerber building to be
..oo,ed at the corner OF Main and

will move the smaller building to a
Inf on First street. The building on the
corner occupied by Kress will be torn

Malmgren Of Spokane for the building
which will be three-etory brick and
basement have been accepted by Mr..
Weisgerber and bids are now being
received by him for the early con-
struction Of same.
The plan Of the building on Main
street show that the 40 feet will be
divided into two store rooms Of equal
size on the Main fioor which will have
a depth Of seventy feet. Each store
room will have two elegant large plate
glass show windows 7Sxs0 with large
door in the center which will be the
entrance to the stores.
The building will be built Of bun
brick throughout with trimmings Of
white pressed brick and the building
will be made fireproof in every re-
spect Arrangements have been made
in the plans to have a number of fire
escapes on the Fifth street side of the
building from the second and third
floors which have the appearance of
balconies. The Fifth street outside plan

stalled with spa cious hall and stair
way leading to the upper floors. On
the south end Of the main entrance
there are two more store rooms which

The first and second flood plans are
nearly Identical. A corridor will run
the full length of the building on both
noors Spacious Office rooms well
hghted with windows from all sides
are provided for. Mr.. Weisgerber has
nxed the plans so that the rooms may
oe remodeled finally to suit any tenant
VINO might desire them. The floors Of
the upper stories are to be of tiline
and every modern method will be used

IT WAS stated in the Gazette on sat
urday that under the leadship of Speaker
Cannon. the House of Representatives
on Friday had broken all records by pass
ING 800 private pension bills in 100
minutes without even the formality OF
reading the titles and of course with
out consideration. As an excuse for
this farcical performance it is urged
that the bills, had they been formally
acted upon, would have all been APP
proved as reported from committee, and
valuable time would have been consum-
ed to no purpose. The fact that private
pension bills are only made necessary IN
cases of such doubtful validity that the
claims upon which they are based VIII
not stand the scrutiny of the Pension
Office makes this excuse entirely Invalid.
The Philadelphia Record well asks;
us it any wonder that the pension list
continues to grow after the lapse oil an
ordinary lifetime since the war was
ended?"
