NEW BUILDINGS ON
THE CAREY TRACT

1t is an old saying that it takes a
new country ten years to get on its
feet, and down on the American Falls
tract is new evidence of the truth
of the saying. At the town Of Ster-
ling a fine brick and cement school
building of two stories is being
erected. 1t has some of the modern
things in the basement, and school
will be conducted this year in the
two rooms on the ground floor. 1t
is built of red brick with heavy &C.
ment foundation, and is a building
of which the whole community may
well be proud. Taylor brothers, of
Blackfoot, have the contract for the
building.
A two-story house on the farm of
Ancil Rupe, spoken Of elsewhere in
this issue, is just being completed
by Taylor brothers, with Thomas Hall
in charge Of the plastertng. Mr..
Rupe says he is well pleased with the
treatment he has received from the
builders all the while. When he
wanted anything changed from tho
original plans he had only to say so
and changes were %cheerfully made
and at reasonable expense. In get
ting up the plans, when they were
puzzled about the arrangement of
certain parts of the house, Mrs. f.
NJ. Taylor devoted considerable time
to the study of the house and its
parts, and gave the benefit of much
practical advice and drawings.

house built on his farm, and G. A.
Line is Just starting construction on

both buildings are with Taylor
