story brick hotel building in Winona,
which is noble structure for town
the size Of WinOna. The town, however,
is expected to grow, it being in the cen
ter of the great wheat belt of Whitman
county.
Lumber is exceedingly low at this time
and now is the time to build. This is
due to the fact that eastern freight rates
have not been established, hence but
little lumber is being carried across the
continent. As soon as rates have been
established the mills will resume opera
tions on larger scale, shipments east
will begin again, and prices for lumber
may be expected to advance probably
25 per cent. Those contemplating build
ing operations should not lose sight of
this, but should take time by the fore
lock and buy building material now.
Probably many are doing so, as build
ing and improvements in many ways
was never more active in Whitman
county than now. This remark applies
particularly to the farming community

their holdings in every direction.

GRADE TO BE EXTENDED.
Along West Street to Connect With
Road to AImota.

The road leading up the west side
along West street from Wall may be ex-
tended to the top OF the grade on the
way to AlmOta. That is the plan out
lined by Mayor PattisOn and the city
council, an improvement that will be Of
great benefit to all classes Of citizens,
whether living in Coltax or the surround
ing country. This grade is finished to
point nearly opposite the English school.
The right of-way for the proposed ex
tension has been given with but two eX
ceptiOns, and scrupIes advanced will
probably be overcome. In this improve
ment the county will be asked to assist,
as it ia a work largely in the interest of
the country districts. The county com
missioners will undoubtedly see their
way clear to grant this request. The
county is possessed OF certain machn
cry for road making, and the assistance
asked, or to be asked, from the county,
is the use OF this machinery more than
the appropriation OF a large sum of
money, although the county should
give reasonable sum. Once built the
grade can be maintained by the city.
This means, OF course, a new bridge
across the South Palouse on Wall street,
as traffic will be greatly increased and
safe and substantial structure is needed.
The Gazette expects to see this improve
ment completed before the close Of the
season.
