No Let Up 10 New Construction
in all Parts Of City Of
Watertown.
GREATER THAN LAST YEAR.
Building Operations this Year
Greatest in Annals Of Making
Greater Watertown.

Building goes on apace in Water
town and apparently nothing will re-
tard the speed other than the elements
In all parts ef the city the work of
the artisan is in evidence. 1t is ap-
parent to any person who watched
the building operations OF d year ago
that this season is to be one Of the
greatest in the annals here in making
a veritable greater Watertown. And
the work of construction now on AMI
in contemplation is merely bagatelle
of what is to be brought out and cou-
summated before the season closes.
James Brothers Lumber company
of Aberdeen, which has yards at Hu.
ron, Aberdeen and Redfield and for
merly conducted a line of yards on the
Sisseton branch, very wisely jumped
into Watertown and established yards
here. They have secured a fine tract
on Fourth street S. W., where they
are piling up the lumber of all kinds
in contemplation of the large trade
which they can reasonably anticipate
this season. At an early date they
will construct large lumber sheds for
the protection of the large stock that
will be shipped into the city. u

be completed in about one month. An
