NEW OFFICE BUILDING EINE EDIFICE OF ST. HELENS LUMBER CO. ABOUT COMPLETED The ofice of the St. Helens Lum ber Co. is nearly completed and is one of the finest finished office buildings in the state. The lower floor is very handily arranged in sections, finished with the product of the mill here, beautifully stained and painted. The main room is large and commodious w ith every niodern convenience, while the pri vate rooms are most tastefully and handily arranged. The building I also quite an imposing structure and stands out as one of the very best of the large new buildings erected and under construction in our little city. The large columns on the concrete piers makes the j building very substantial. The car-1 penter work has been under the very efficient management of U. W.j Clark of Hou'ton. while the paint ing and decoraiing was done by R. C. McCoy, the well known St. Helens painter. The work of these men speaks very highly of their pro liency in the work engaged inly them and is the best advertisement they could get. The building is a credit to the St. Helens Lumber Company and the city of St, Helens.
