FRISCO FIRMS COLLECTING.
Their Necessities Will Tax Business In
the Northwest.
The following message which was
received by the Taylor Hardware
company, Is doubtless a forerunner of
many others that will soon reach
merchants In this section:
Oakland, Cal., April 21.
Taylor Hardware Company:
If possible remit by express to Oak
land all or portion your account. Send
cash or currency. Need money.
PACIFIC STEEL & WIRE CO.
In reply the Taylor Hardware com
pany at once shipped $1384 to the
'Frisco firm, although the account
will not become due until May 15.
The money was shipped through the
First National Bank of this city, and
the express charges were $4.85.
In the opinion of T. C. Taylor, the
merchants of this section and the en
tire west will be called upon to
promptly pay all accounts with San
Francisco houses. As a large per
centage of the Jobbing business In
the northwest Is done with 'Frisco
houses, this will require thousands of
dollars. However, Mr. Taylor believes
the payments should be made, and
his firm has set the pace.

CONDITIONED
UPON PAVING
SCIIWARZ & GKEULICII PLAN
VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS.
Would Occupy One Hundred Foot
Front on West Wetib Now Owned
by. Them A Portion of the New
Struct ii re Would Bo Tlirce Stories
High and the Entire Packing Plant
Would Be Greatly Enlarged: Pro
vided the Streets Are to Be Paved.
Schwarz & Greulich are now plan
nlng extensive Improvements on their
property on Main and Webb streets,
and If the streets are paved they will
likely have the work done.
Speaking of their plana this morn
ing Charles Greulich said his firm was
considering the erection of a two-story
brick in Webb street, where the Sal
vatlon Army now has quarters.
Counting their present brick packing
building the firm owns 100 feet on
Webb street, and a building will be
erected covering this entire lot, the
present building being raised one
story. The lower rooms will be ar
ranged for store rooms, while it is
planned to have a hall In the second
story.
Also, Schwarz & Gleulich and Mrs.
Stangier, who own the half of the ad
joining building on Main street, are
planning to construct a three-story
building on that property. According
to Mr. Greulich the foundation Is
strong enough for a three-story build'
Ing, and he believes the property ius'
tifles such a structure. Should this
Improvement be made, the present
quarters of the meat market will be
enlarged and the shop be even better
equipped than at present.
"We have been figuring on these
Improvements for some time." de
clared Mr. Greulich this afternoon,
"and if the streets are ordered paved
we win go ahead with our Dlans.
Just now we are waiting on the coun
cil's action regarding paving, because
we want to find out if improvements
are to be encouraged in Pendleton.
The buildings we are figuring on will
cost about ii'0,000.
