The Falls City tribune., 1909-09-03

A lot that was on the market a
year ago for $3.50 with no buyer was
sold for $675 last Saturday
The new home of Albert Maust Is
nearing completion and is one of the
most pretentious residences in the
city.
Squire Redwoods new home will
be dandy when completed. 1t will
cost a good many thousand dollars.
but it looks to be worth the price.
Not vacant house in town nor an
idle working man who wants work.
At least thirty new houses will have
to be erected within the next few
months to accommodate the constantly
increasing population.
The new Vinegar factory is pro-
crossing rapidly. This company Is
laying out good many thousand dol
lars in these improvements as an evil
dence of its faith in Falls City's
splendid future.
We are glad to note that sewer
system is being seriously proposed
by the administration, and that the
citizens are SO favorably disposed.
This is an improvement that should
be constructed without unnecessary
delay
The new brick building being erect
ed next to the Falls City Auto COM
panys new garage will add greatly
to the block that has been in frame
buildings so many years, and has
been built up in new brick struct-
ures this spring.
The Gilligan addition and the new
addition opened on the Frank place,
are going to add many beautiful build
ing sites to the already beautiful
north end. II there Is any sure thing
in business, the factf that the pur-
chasers of these lots will make mon
ey, is that sure thing.
Every merchant in Falls City Is
activity in our business life. With
labor employed at good wages and
the many new families who have
come to share in this general pros
perity, the merchant is reaping his
share of the reward.
The Putnam cement block factory
will be a big improvement. Falls
City has been backward on this pro-
position and seems not to have awak-
ened to the fact that cement is the
future building material The Put
nam factory should have ready
market at home for all of its pro-
duct, and should be kept constantly
busy by the local demand
If you think that the division is of
| little consequence just go down to
headquarters and see the steam
plows, the teams, scrapers and wag-
| ons all as busy as bees. A new
steam ploW Will be put on next week
and about thirty additional teams in
order that the work may be hurried
| to completion. 1t is now estimated
that the grading will be finished in
about four months
The material for paving Stone
street is being put on the ground.
| Several cars of crushed stone has
| been dumped on the street in front
of the court house, and we may ex-
pect Contractor Heineman to start
the dirt to flying within week or
so. This will furnish employment to
many men and will make Stone
street one of the most beautiful
streets in the state.
The opportunity doesn't often come
to a city to become great, and when
] 1t does come, the city doesn't always
embrace it. 1t was written that
some place in this vicinity should
grow, for the location demands it.
We are far enough removed from
Kansas City, Omaha, Lincoln and
| St. Joseph, to justify a substantial
growth. At times it looked like
Auburn or Hiawatha might be the
growing place, but the signs Of the
times are all pointing towards Falls
City. This is the opportunity. This
is the physiological moment. A
united citizenship bent on the city's
progress will accomplish wore within
the next year, than it could in any
