plete Elevator and
Corn Warehouse.

The extremely late season hiss been
most fayorsble to building operations
in New Jlm and several large
structures amounting to thoussnds of
dollars in value have been erected and
have been SO far advanced In con-
struction that only the inside finishing
remains to be done. It is doubtful
whether there has been q time when
more large structures we're In course
of building 1t this season than is the
case this year. Another favorable
feature is the fact that all these
operations have been entered upon
because of growing business which
called for more space for expansion
and this indicates healthier con.
dition than entirely new enterprises
would.
The Minnesota Seed Company have
practically completed the work on
their immense new warehouse. Il
stands three stories above . deep
basement. Its Dimensions are S5 by
50 feet and this gives the entire
building length OF 165 feet. The
basement is built of concrete and the
upper portion is frame covered with
galvanized iron. 1t has q capacity ot
ten to fifteep thousand bushels Of ear
c,rn. The interior has merely .
warehouse finish and the curing Of the
seed corn will be done as before in the
original plant. The company reports
q successful year.
The Northwestern Hotel recently
completed the addition of third
story which was Dscessitated by In
creased business. The place is nox q
twenty five room hotel and plans are
already made to enlarge It to thirty
i've rooms in the spring.
The New Ulm Roller Mill Com
pany's new elevator was completed
last week so that it eau be used for
storing of grain. 1t has capacity
of 45, 900 bushels. 1t, too. is Q frame.
iron clad building and was erected by
Chas. E. Webster of Winthrop. The
building was necessitated by the
growing grain trade of the Mill.
The Farmers Elevator Company has
a new store house for oil, meal, flour,
feed and salt. The building is locat.
ed north of their grain elevator and
is two story structure, 1896 feet, and
costs something like $500.
The new boiler house and metal chin.
ney erected at the south side of the
Brewing & Mailing CompaDy's plant
will cost from $1,000 to S25OO. The
boiler house stands approxim ate]y
2Ox28xl4 and the chimney is 80 feet
high. The building operations are
complete and two new boilers each
having q capacity of 50 q. P. will be
installed this week if they arrive in
time to do so.
The $500 warehouse erected by the
New UIm Ice Company will have q
capacity of 600 tons of ice. A little
figuring will show that this means
more than q dollar q ton merely for q
storage place for the ice. The ware.
house is located between the M. Il St.
L. Right-of-Wsy and Water Street.
1t is of thoroughly modern coostruc-
tion with double walls. Between the
two shells there will be sswdust and
hereafter the ice will not be packed in
sawdust but will be covered with hay
instead. Electric machinery will be
used for hosting the bio, ks of ice into
place. The old house will still be
used. Ice cutting will be late this year
on account of the seasons warmth. 1t
will pre- badly not begin much before
New Years.
Building operations at the Hospital
have gone forward with speed also
and temporary roof covers the i'm
mense structure so that all thru the
winter finishing operations can be con.
tinued on the inside and there's no
doubt the building will be completed
for use early next season.
