LARGE ADDITION
The Rogers Lumber ca. to Handle
Three Times Former Amount
of Building Material Teutsch
Does Rapid Work.

Eugene Teutsch is building a
very large addition to the Rogers
Lumber Co.'S. plant. When fin
ished the structure will be 64x95
feet in size. In three days after
the foundation was completed
the building was under roof.
This is considered very rapid
work. About fifteen men were
employed on the job.
The Rogers Co. have found
business so much better than
they expected it would be that
this addition was necessary. It
will give the company room for
several carloads more OF material.
This means an investment in
stock of about $4,000 contin-
ually, by this concern and an en-
ployment of several men.
The building will be covered
with rock faced brick steel, and
the Office will be located on the
first floor. The company will
handle about three times the am
cunt of building material formers
ly kept in stock.

Having been prevailed upon by
my many friends in Minot to be-
come a candidate for Mayor at

4 it is due to them to inform them
where l stand upon the many inn
portant questions and duties that
will confront the Mayor elected
for the next two years.
: If elected Mayor l propose to
Immediately proceed to the con-
struction of a proper water works
system, and a. sufficient extension
Of it to make itself supporting
and thus relieve the tax payers
of any burden for the support Of
the water system.
To Immediately commence the
construction Of a permanent
sewer system, with a sufficient
extension Of it to meet the needs
of the city, and upon plan that
will permit Of its extension as
the city grows, both Of these
things to be done as rapidly as it
is possible to do it, and do it in
an economical and permanent
manner.
I:propose also to Immediately
procure for the fire department
a first-class chemical engine, for
the reason that the city at the
present time has no adequate
protection from fires, either in
supply offswater Or in appliances
for fighting fire, and on account
Of the long distance from hy-
drants in a large portion Of the
city, it is highly important that
some means be provided inn,
