PLAN A new STRUCTURE
Merchant Intends to Branch Out
With Larger Stock; Extend
His Trade
from SATURDAYS Daily.

L. Salet, the well-known merchant
of North Front street, has purchased
site for new location of his de-
partment store. He will build the
new home for his establishment
where the saloon of Chris Polchow
& Son and the Boston restaurant
are now located, on the east side of
South Front street, just north of the
Mitchell cafe.
Mr. Salet has purchased this prop
erty from d. Oster for $4,000. Most
of the old building will be torn away
and in its place new store building,
consisting of two stories and base
ment will be erected. 1t will be a
first class structure, modern in every
way, and all parts of it will be used
by the Salet store. The present two
story building on the site goes back
only sixty feet, but the new building
will have length of $50 feet, almost
reaching the alley. The frontage of
the lot is thirty-two and one-half
feet and the depth is 1871 and one
one-half feet.
Chris Polchow has lease on the
present building, expiring a year
hence. Mr. Salet cannot begin work
on his new building before the lease
expires.
Plans are soon to be drawn, though
all the details of the new building
have not yet been determined.

Farmers living east and south of
town are growing impatient over the
delay regarding the repairing of the
bridge east of town, recently dam
aged by high water. 1t is just in
the busiest time of the year and
they can ill spare the time to go a
long distance round to reach their
home town. All credit to them, how
ever, for they are most loyal and
come patiently plodding to town
with their produce and may their
patience soon meet with reward. A
repaired bridge and traffic, about ten
hours work driving down solid tim
bers and bracing the bridge would
make the bridge safe and once more
in shape to travel over. Auto parties
going to the county seat have turned
back upon finding they could not
get across and the new road bed and
soft graded hill at the Gainor bridge
was a bug bear to auto parties all
spring. Let us hope for a move in
the right direction in the near future.
A crippled bridge and closed highway
is no credit to our fair and prosper

town, is proving great success.
Each Thursday evening the movie
hall is thrown open to friends and

render number of excellent songs.
By the large attendance each Thurs
day night the merchants are more
than repaid for the expenditure of
money and their move is in. the right
direction for it radiates a good fell
lowship and optimistic comradeship
from merchant to farmer, and it
would be wise for other towns to
copy after the most excellent plan.
