The rumblings of the ground
swell that is going to shake Grange
4 vile up this season, can now be dis
tinctly heard without placing your
n self in the attitude of the oriental
worshiper. No use putting your ear
to the ground, the vibrations can be
felt, the very air is full of the spirit
of progress and development.
i While the spirit is on let everybody
/ get to work with redoubled energy.
and the results will amaze the most
optomistic.
Last Saturday w. F. Schmadeka,
of the Big Buffalo Store, through
the SaSsenbery & Wilkinson agency
purchased of the other six stockhold-
ers, w. A. Hall, Robt. White, Mrs.
Pel Sherwln, Mrs. Dave Sasenbery,
Mrs. w. A. Hall and w. S. Nj.
Williams, the old Grange lots at
the corner of Main and Hall streets,
giving IS foot front on Main and
extending entirely through the block,
and on Monday morning four teams
with scrapers and plows began the
excavation work for a large brick
block, which will be pushed to COM
pletion at the very earliest date pos
slble. This is what may properly
be termed getting action" and it
should be an inspiration to others
to carry on the good work SO we'll
begun. While the plans have not
been perfected yet by the architect, it
is Sknown that the structure will be two
stories with IS foot front and 100
foot depth, with basement. The
lots on Main street between this
structure and the new Imperial hotel
are owned by w. A. Hall, Frank
Hogan, Judge J. F. Aishie, Henry
Elfers, A. c. Lanningham, Pat
Courtney and Joe Basler, and it is
understood that these gentlemen have
been consulting and corresponding in
regard to putting up a solid brick
block from the corner to the hotel,
and it will be no surprise to see dirt
nylng along that entire front within
the next few months. The owners
realize the fact that the time has
come tor them tc build or sell their
holdings to some one who will, and
as one of the parties said to the
Globe representative on this subject:
fou Can count on it there is going
10 De action taken soon one way or
'ne other; as we do not intend to
ooStiuct the progress of the town.
