BUILDING
OPERATIONS.
A Brief Resume of the
Growth and Improve
mentS of WinSloW

The work on the 60 40 addi-
ton to the depot, which is to be
used for additional office room,
was commenced last week and
is progressing rapidly. Contrac-
tor A. w. Anson, of Albuquerque,
is doing the work.
1t is rumored that a building
for a curio store is to be erected
on the vacant space just east OF
the depot, where Fred Harvey
will put in a stock of up-to. date
curios and Indian relics.
Greaves & Dye have just COM
pleted a large addition to the
rear portion of their building
which will give them additional
store room, badly needed. When
a few minor improvements they
have under way are completed,
they will have one Of the finest
stores in town.
A building to be occupied by a
hot water heating plant has
been added to the Hotel Navajo,
and as soon as the radiators and
other apparatus arrive and are
installed, which will probably be
within the next few weeks, the
entire building will be heated
thereby.
The building to be occupied by
the Marley butcher shop is well
under way and viii be ready for
the roof in short time.
Three frame cottages are being
built at the north end of Kinsley
Avenue, which will prove a wei
come addition to the town, a
shortage of desirable residence
locations now existing.
The work train which has been
hauling cinders on TIE second
district for the past the months
was pulled off 81 tur'lay night
and the tram an;! engine crews
returned to Ninslow and assign
ed to the cham gang. The work
of ballasting is now fairly well
along, and on account OF the
frosty weather setting IN, it was
deemed advisable to cut out this
particular work. The ballast
cars have been assigned to the
coal trade, which will materially
help the coast cities in receiving
a supply of fuel.

Engineer Pete Henderson is in
town, having returned this week
from visit to his old home in
Eastern Canada. Mr.. Henderson,
in an interview with the MAIL
representative, says that business
is hourishing through the por-
tions of Eastern Canada which
he visited, the financial disturb
ances throughout the United
States having failed to make any
impression on the banks or other
business across the border.
Farms are looking we'll and far
mers well-to-do and prosperous.
Altogether, Mr.. Henderson says
the people there are doing well
and are tolerably happy. The
Post-offlce Savings Bank, in Mr..
Henderson's opinion, is the main
cause of the failure of the imam
cial panic in this country to at
feet business or finances through
