THE MAKING OF A CITY
Building Operations Going on Here
and There AboutTown.

Alterations are In progress In the
rear of the Shoemake- Barnhart paint
store on First avenue west. The store
Is to be extended back to the alley
and this will add at least one.third to
its present size. The second floor
will also be built out as far as the
alley and the present accommodations
in living rooms about doubled and a
new roof will cover the whole. With
this improvement all of the stores in
the block will be built out to the full
size Of the lot except one.

The Western Manufacturing Co., on
Rock Island avenue. have built gal
vanized iron shed on the west side of
their building about 1890 feet in size.
The structure is erected on a concrete
foundation and will be used for stor
age purposes.

s The recent Increase In the heating
lighting and power capacity brought
about by the extension of the heating
system and the transmission of light
and power to New Sharon, has made
some changes necessary at the power
house of the Oskaloosa Traction 4
Light Co, and now about ten boilers
are in operation, which have a capac
ity for developing some 1900 horse
power, requiring the work of some
twelve men during the twenty-foul
hours of the day. These improve
ments have been made gradually dur
| ing the past year in anticipation o.
the present extensive work that has
been put in.
The Sheriff lot on North Marke
street on the south side of the Rails
ton building has been enclosed witt
high wire fence.
- = -
| A fine wide porch has been added
to the front and side of the Mcdonald
house at 209 Second avenue east
Improvements have also been made
to the interior of the house.

Work at the Mahaska County Banl
building is progressing rapidly. 9th
Nugent, the owner, Is giving the worl
his personal attention. The entire
main floor, which will be used by thu
bank, is faced up on the outside will
Bedford stone, with backing OF brick
The new banking room will extent
from South Market street back t.
the alley and will be thoroughly mod
ern and complete. Above the frs
! floor the entire front and side will b.
rebuilt and the whole building mad'
practically new. The wide opening
are all reinforced with structural
steel SO that comparatively LITTLE
wood work will remain. When com
pleted the reconstructed building will
make a decided change at the south
west corner of the square.

The question of new schoo
house for the territory south of tn
Rock Island r. r. tracks is again be
ing considered by the Board of Edr
cation. There seems to be persist
ent demand for this school, as all o
the children in this section of tn
city are obliged to come across tn
tracks to the Second or Third war;
schools. The school district have
building lot on the south side of tn
tracks and a building could be erect
ed with comparatively little expense.

Prior to the year 1909 whenever a
road was built in Arizona. it was with
the view Of reaching some mine or
mining camp and was built on the
line Of least resistance. both as TO
location and cost
Not until 1903 did the people OF Ari-
iona realize that in order TO keep
abreast with the progressive states OF
the union. was it necessary to begin
Nthe construction Of a system of high
ways This feeling, as has been men
toned was augmented by the large
number OF motor tourists, and also
from the fact that the east was look
ing for some feasible route across the
country upon which 10 build a trans
continental highway. These facts,
coupled with local conditions, were
responsible for the legislature passing
the highway bill. under which pro-
vision was made for the levying OF an
annual tax Of 20 cents on the 800
valuation Of taxable property
This TO some may seem like an
abnormal tax. but as territorial en-
gfneer Grand said. they have to do
filings in an abnormal way in Arizona
to obtain results. because Arizona has
