G. N. BUYS NEAR STATION
Pays 81, According to Deed, FOR Half
Block in st. Paul.

The Great Northern Railway com
pany has purchased the half block on
Third: street, st. Paul, between Sibley
and Wacouta, and directly adjoining the
half block on which the St. Paul union
station is situated. The deed does not
show the. price paid, the consideration
mentioned in the instrument being 81.
That the price was large, however, is
certain from the fact that unimproved
property in the immediate vicinity has
sold for $500 front foot
Officials of the Great Northern road
refuse to throw any light on the pur-
chase. It is probable, however, that the
property is. to be used some day for
new union station. The property is
now covered by buildings which yield
good interest on the purchase money,
and it is intimated that the new depot
improvements may not be commenced
within five years; that the Great North
ern secured the property in anticipation
of future needs.
