The inside story Of the recent

years Of their now historic feud

Although Shouse long was bit

Builders were busy that
spring. Mr.. J. c. Man was adj
vertising for bids for the eree-

the west side Of Pacific Avenue
south of Ninth street. There
were to be five stores of diff
ferent dimensions on the ground
floor and ten offices of an
average size of 1sx21 feet on

were to be of artificial iron.

John Forbes, the contractor
was starting work on the opera
house, A by 120 feet with a
20 foot ceiling. The building
was to cost $500.
Contractor Forbes also was
building a home for S. M. Jones

contracts for Mr.. NJ. J. West

feet, and a store 20 by 81 feet.
other jobs included the First
Presbyterian church on the site
now occupied by the Fidelity
building. The cost of the build

later the church sold the prop
erty to John S. Baker and as
sociates for enough to buy a
new site at South Tenth and
G and build the most elaborate
Presbyterian church north of
San Francisco, now occupied by
the Central Lutheran congre-
cation.
Those were interesting days.
