The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-04-11

Some time ago The Call predicted
that the year 1916 would be the great
est year in the history of Kimberly,
and the activity here at this time in
dicates that the prediction is going to
be fulfilled
Work is now under way on the
Swearinger & Wilson building on Main |
street, opposite the Kimberly Hotel, a |
large force of men are working on the |
foundation for the new bank building |
and Odd Fellows building and by next |
week work will undoubtedly be under |
full swing on the new blacksmith shop |
and garage to be erected by w. A.
Gill opposite the bank corner, the
hardware building in which Swear
niger & Wilson are located is being
moved south of its old location and
will be moved up against the Turner &
ClaibOrn building, occupied by Wilson
Brothers general store, to make room
for the big store building that firm
will erect adjoining the Swearinger &
Wilson building. 1t is also rumored
that the Consolidated Wagon & Ma
chine company is negotiating for the
purchase of two lets on which they
will erect a building with fifty-foot
frontage, and the Idaho Seed & Pro-
duce company is considering the cree
ton Of a large seed warehouse, on 2
site to be selected.
CAS- has heretofore been stated in
The Call, Wilson Brothers and Swear
niger & Wilson will each erect a build
ing with a fifty-foot frontage and a
depth of one hundred feet. Excava-
ton for the Swearinger & Wilson
building is now completed, and the
basement walls are being put in this
week. AS soon as the old warehouse
building is moved work will start on
the basement of the Wilson Brothers
building, and both buildings will be
rushed to completion.
Both buildings will be equipped
with modern heating plant, will con-
tain running water and in every way
will be equal to any buildings of like
size on the tract. Wilson Brothers
will have a large, commodious rest
room for ladies with all modern con-
veniences. Red brick will be used in
the construction, with white brick for
trimmings
Kimberly can now boast of a cafe
second to none in the county-and, in
fact, it has been a good restaurant
ever since Mr.. Rice has been here, as
is indicated in the constant increase in
his business. But Mr. Rice realizes
that Kimberly is constantly growing,
and he proposes to keep abreast of the
times. During the last week\or ten
days he has been quietly changing the
interior of his place, adding a little
here and there until he now has quite
a cosmopolitan appearing place. He
has put linoleum on the floor, new
shelving for his canned goods and re-
arranged the whole place. The con-
stantly increasing business demanded
that additional help be added, and he
was fortunate in securing the ser
vices of B. F. Williams, an experienced
chef who has recently been with the
Fitzpatrick Cafe at Filler, Mr.. Williams
needs no endorsement from The Call
his work speaks for itself.
Ernest White, of Twin Falls, was
awarded the contract for the new bank
building and the Odd Fellows building,
and will doubtless erect the Turner e
Jones building and the Tilley building,
which are to be built in connection
with the other two buildings Mr.
White has a large force at work this
week cleaning out the basement and
making the necessary repairs and

building and the Odd Fellows building
will be two stories, 25-foot frontage
with a depth of so feet, and the Tur-
ner e Jones building and the Tilley
building will probably be but one
story.
Ernest White also has the founda-
ton work on the new garage opposite
the bank, and Olds e Overbaugh, of
Bull, have the contract for the work
above the ground
wv r. Summers has bought several
lots adjoining the livery barn on Main
street and has been busy this week
moving the shed on the south side OF
the barn to the rear Of these lots. Mr.
Summers was non-commital as to his
plans, but said they would be matured
in the near future and that some sort
of an imposing structure would be
erected on his lots before fall
