THE OUTLOOK

The coming year, unless all signs
fail, will show a very decided I'M
provement in the building line in
this city. The new postoffice is now
in course of erection. a good start
has been made for new hotel, prep
arations are being pushed for the
power house, work will soon begin on
Normal school building, and the con-
tract for a new up-to-date depot
here has been awarded to one of our
own townsmen. There will be add
ed many new residential and busi-
ness houses in contemplation. So
looking to the year 1910 we have
every assurance of improvements
and the upbuilding of our city on
all lines.
