MOORHEAD POSTOFFICE
Little Danger that Proposed Federal
Building for Moorhead VIII
Not Be Built.

Little local credence is given to the
reports that there is some danger that
the postoffice building for which
site has already been bought and an
appropriation OF $4,000 made. will not
be erected. NIoorhead was prompt in
acting upon the site for the proposed
federal building. bids were submitted.
later a site was selected and the pur-
chase from p. III. Lamb was consum-
mated and the government has the
deed.
In some instances where approprla-
tions for federal buildings in the
northwest were made no steps have
been taken in regard to the selection
of sites and there are delinquencies
in the treasury department at Wash
ington on account of estimates not
having beer submitted. Saturdays
dispatches from washington seemed
to indicate that new public buildings
at various places might be denied on
account OF absence of estimates, but
later information is to the effect that
officials have somewhat relented and
the outlook for buildings is encourag-
ing-for Moorhead at least as every
thing here has been attended to To-
cally and 1t is we'll known that Con-
gresham Stevenson has got his best
optic on the situation. President
Lamb Of the Moorhead National bank
and quite a number of Others in Moor
head feel that there is no occasion
for Moorhead people to link them
selves with one or two chronic pessi-
mists who seem never so happy as
when they are handling things Of a
depressing nature. 1t is the general
opinion that Moorhead will have a
much better building than was at first
proposed, as it is rapidly growing in
commercial supremacy.

ing the session. Northwestern mar
kets were easy in tone and there was
said to be considerable selling in our
market for that section Farmers ana
dealers offerings were freer from

breaks and are inclined to advocate
that position for the present at least.
