Stewart Block
Being Rebuilt

O. HI. Ostness, contractor, has a
crew Of men at work putting up a
new building on the site Of the Stew
art store, which was burned last
November. Geo. Theo. Smith will
put up another large building there,
somewhat similar to the other one,
with the exception that the second
story will extend over but half of
the whole, or, to be exact, "a feet in
from the Main street front. The
upper floor will be designed to &C.
commodate six or eight office suites.
The ground floor and the base
ment have already been leased by
The Stewart Mercantile Co., for gen
eral merchandise stock, and l. |.
Lusk, furniture dealer.
The Stewart Co. will have the
large display windows on Main and
Walnut streets as before, Lusk to
occupy the south SO feet on the main
floor and a corresponding share Of
the basement. A basement entrance
will be provided at the southwest
corner Of the building for access to
Lusk's display rooms, which will be
downstairs.
Over the east half of the ground
floor there will be a balcony upon
which will be located the Stewart Of
flee, a sales department and also the
ladies' waiting room, the latter to
be somewhat more elaborate than in
the old building. There will be no
partition between the Stewart and
Lusk sections on the ground floor.
all occupying the one open room.
The new building is to be of the
same material as the old, the Main
street front to be finished in cream
colored stucco. All of the cement
work in the basement ruins is serv-
iceable for the new building, and it
is expected that the structure will be
ready for occupancy so that the
Stewart Company may hold their
annual opening there on October 1st.
This will be their third annual sale
in this location, the first being the
dedication of the new building in
October, 1914, and last year this
event preceded by only a few days
the fire which destroyed the store.
In the new store provisions will be
made so that every part may be cas-
lily and quickly reached by fire ap-
paratus.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 2S.-The immedi-

charged by the mining companies, high
freight rates on water-borne coal and
the difficulty of obtaining additional

appointed to investigate the cost of

saws the report, lis the domination OF
the anthracite coal trade by nine large
companies, each of which is closely al
lied .or at least in sympathetic opera
whose line il is located. Two or three
of the companies have curtaiIed their
shipments to New England during the
present year, presumably in the inter
ests of the railroads that could secure
a longer haul and more revenue by de-
liyerine coal elsewhere. This year the
demand has been so heavy in markets
to the railroads that the orders of many
Massa chusetts retailers have only been
pa rtly filled and a serious shortage has
resulted in numerous cities and towns
Of the commonwealth.
The report recommends that the leg
islature memorialize congress in behalf
of a law that will give power to federal
authorities to separate effectively the
anthracite coal business from control.

gard to what are called the unjust YER
diets of beiligerent prize courts. In
the case of Great Britain. France, Italy
and Portugal, with whom Holland has
concluded arbitration treaties, II is
urged that in the last resort such cases
must be submitted to the permanent
court of arbitration, while special arbi-

with other belligerent states. Further,
the government is urgently requested
to appoint a commission of experts to
make preliminary inquiry into such
cases. Dutch merchants and ship own

this matter.
