duct a big jewelry auction sale for
Sutter Brothers. 1t is the intention of
this popular firm to put up for auction
several thousands of dollars worth of
diamonds, cut glass, silver and other
fine jeWelry. A great deal of this
stock was ordered for the holiday
trade but did not arrive owing to the
freight blockade on the main western
roads, until several weeks after
Christmas. Mr.. Raven is an auctioneer
of national reputation among jewelry
houses and demonstrated his abilities
at the big Sutter auction sale last
year. The first sale was held Saturday
evening and large crowd was
present. A drawing is held each af-
ternoon and evening and the holder
of the lucky ticket receives valuable

John p. Barnes and Associates Pur-

Estate in City's neaat.
FINE BUILDING A PROBABILITY
New Owners Contemplate the Con-
struCti0n Of Three or -Four
Story Hotel and Bank.

John P. Barnes last Thursday con-
summated deal which has been
| pending for several weeks for the pur-
chase of the Holzemer or better known
as the Day House property, located on
the corner of Main street and Fourth
avenue, the price paid being 100000
The property includes four lots, two
of which are on Main street and two
ON Broadway, giving a 1OO-foot 'front.'
age on each street and a 2OO-foot
frontage on Fourth avenue. 1t is
generally considered one of the most
valuable pieces of property in the city
and the general impression is that Mr.
Barnes got bargain for the money,
While nothing definite has yet been
done in the matter, it is the present
intention of Mr.. Barnes to organize a,
company for the construction of a
three or four story building on the
two lots on Main street. This build
ing will cost from $6OOOO to $4,000 and
''A-A W oiiN VI tilC IIICSl III lne nOfIn-
west
In case these plans materialize, the
Empire Bank and Trust company will
likely occupy room on the corner Of
Main and Fourth avenue. A portion
of the remainder of the first story win
he devoted to hotel lobby and the
third part to a fine store room. The
second and perhaps the third story
will be made into hotel rooms, giving
this city as fine a hotel as can be
found in the state In the event that
a fourth story is built this will be used
for fine offices with probably, fine
hall for general use. There will be
basement under the entire building.
Lewistown is sadly in need of bet
ter hotel facilities and every person
living in or near Lewistown will COM
mend the enterprise of Mr.. Barnes in
opening the way for providing this
long felt want.
