If. 635, -WV of W. ALMOTA CIRCLE. No. 278. W. of W. A site for a $10,000 fireproof wool and general warehouse 150 feat west of the Enterprise depot wae granted to a company composed principally of wool growers by Gen eral Manager O'Brien on his vlsli here Friday night. The company has been organizing for severa. weeks, and nearly every prominent wool grower has subscribed for stock. Enterprise business men who otherwise would have put up ware houses have given way to this com pany and will co-operate with it. A forwarding business will be done and the management of the company be lieves that with the big advantage In roads from Enterprise, the fire proof building and equitable charges as low as the . business will permit the bulk of the distributing business for the county will be handled at Enterprise. This warehouse company had lt Inception at the wool sale in Elgin, when the buyers asked that the wool men get together on the prop osition for they would attend bu. one sale3 day in the valley. Enter prise was selected as the most cen tral and accessible point for the erection of the warehouse, which will be .large enough to store the entire clip of the county, and wll be built of stone, with a cement floor . and have a steel-trussed fire proof roof. The warehouse and forwarding company being owned and controlled by the stockmen and ranchers, low rates for' storage are assured, and the fire-proof building will save shippers insurance, a no. small item. The building will be so located as to be reached by. teams from the south and . east without passing through town. The council will bridge Prairie creek at Residence street, and there' is talk of extend ing Alamo street to the county road whero the city water -ditch- ' flume crosses it. If the latter Is done 1 will give a direct road to the ware house, which will - front on Alamc street. V "As Boon as the stakes for the site are definitely set by Englneei Brandon, work on the project wll begin," said W. H. Graves, one of the prime movers in the enterprise.' The foundation may be put In this fall; anyway the rock and othei material will be hauled for It is the Intention to have the building' com pleted in time to store the wool next June. Lot $30 to $60.
