CITY IMPROVEMENTS
Business Houses Remodeled; Streets
Rebuilt; Other Signs Of Prog
ress in Evidence.
While the building has not been ex-
tensive in Princeton during the sum-
mer months, several improvements
have been made in the business dis
trict
Repairs in the Princeton Roller mill
have been progressing rapidly. The
new boiler has been installed and
smoke-stack has been erected. Ma
terials for construction have been
slow in arriving or the mill would be
in operation. 1t will have a capacity
of 100 barrels day and will employ
from three to five men depending on
the business done. They will make
corn meal and grind feed as we'll as
preparing flour and its by-products.
The mill will buy and use locally
grown wheat supplemented by North
Dakota yields.
Chas. L. Carlson, the new miller,
worked in the mill 20 years ago with
Joe Craig. At present he is directing
the work Of remodeling. He will
bring his family here before the first
of next month.
The Max Kruschke building is un-
dergoing extensive renovations. The
part that was formerly the old opera
house had been made into apartments
with 14-foot ceiling, which is being
lowered. What was formerly an attic,
is being converted into a third floor,
to contain when completed five new
apartments with all modern convent
cnces. New windows are being put
in and the ceiling on one side of the
building is already completed. Mr..
Kruschke expects ts'ss work to be
finished by the first Of October.
L. E. Bergman has purchased the
Bazaar store from c.. M. Mortinson.
The shelving has been moved forward
to make room in the rear for an office
for Mr.. Bergman. Here he will meet
his patrons in the cement business and
also have on display the Jamesway
farm equipment. Mrs. Bergman will
have charge Of the sale of merchan-
disc and will continue the old Bazaar
store. Large additions to the stock
will be made as soon as supplies can
be ordered.
A coat Of paint has been applied to
the exterior of the building occupied
by the Peterson Photographic studio
while the interior has also been re-
decorated. The structure now looks
like new building
The Alfred Melin company is now
settled in their new quarters. The dis
play windows are so arranged as to
prevent frosting in cold weather.
They are in all ways up to date and
attractive. The outside marble basis
and copper window frames add greatly
to the appearance of the front.
The new quarters for the filling sta
tion conducted by H. Sthanke, just
across the street from Henry New
bert's residence, is almost ready for
occupancy. Now that the cement
work has been completed, the side
walk and curb laid, the building pre-
sents neat, attractive appearance.
The enterprising firm of Hetrick &
Henschel has installed a new electric
sign in front of their garage. A sim
liar sign has also been erected by the
Branchaud hotel. With several of
these signs and our we'll lighted
streets Princeton will present quite a
metropolitan appearance.
The new creamery is getting we'll
under way and the superstructure will
soon be going up. Inside equipment is
already being purchased.
Under the direction of the village
council considerable improvement has
been made in the streets during the
past few weeks. The street just north
of Even's hardware store is staked out
west to the railroad for improvement.
It will be we'll to have this street in
good condition before the opening Of
the fair. The grading and graveling
is just being completed on the street
running west past the new creamery
site to the railroad track. The ap-
proaches to the community scale are
being put in good condition for the
fall marketing. The corner northeast
Of Caley's hardware store is to be re-
paired. The power house is being put
into better shape by the addition of
a much needed coat of paint on the
inside walls. This was one of the
recommendations received by the
council at their last regular session,
though this matter has been under
discussion at former council meetings.
The outside is to receive a coat of
paint also. These improvements
were much needed and the council is
to be commended for its action in the
matter. May the good work continue.
