Power Mercantile company, gave out
the pleasing announcement yesterday
that arrangements have been COM
pleted for the erection this year of a
store building adjoining the present
establishment of the company and ex-
tending on Third avenue to Broadway.
The building Will have frontage of
200 feet on Third avenue and prob.
ably so feet on Broadway. Work is
to begin just as soon as the frost Is
out OF the ground and the building
VIII be ready for occupancy by Sep
tember !. The structure will conform
IN material and design to the present
building, of which it will become a
part, SO that it will be but two stories
high. A foundation sufficient to carry
four stories will be put in, however,
with a view to adding two stores in
future. The material and construc-
ton will be of the best. This addition
will be used In connection with the
general business OF the Power Mer-
camille company, which will thus have
one OF the largest establishments of
the kind in the state.

The arrangements for the building
at the corner of Main street and Fifth

Immediately adjoining the Crowley
building. The details for this struc-
ture have not yet been definitely ar
ranged.
Over 100000.
The business blocks thus far def
nitely announced for this year will
represent an outlay of more than
100000, and it is more than likely
that there will be some additions to
the list given. This is enough, how
ever, to make the coming season the
greatest one in building way Lew
istoWn has ever known.
Not included in the list will be the
two splendid depots to be constructed
by the Milwaukee and the Great Nor
thern.
