GRANGE WILL BUILD STORE AND A HALL Baker Lot Purchased on First Street Near the Depot by Grangers— In teresting Meeting Saturday. Industries. VOL. XXIV. NO. 1 THREE STORY BRICK HOTEL Cooper Block to be Con tinued Another Story for new Hostelry W . B. Cooper who is erecting the fine brick buildiug at the corner of Main A venue and Second Street have come to the conclusion th at a three-story buildiug will justify, and therefore their plans have been changed to th a t end. T his will be a pleasant surprise to m any, as we all feel a deep in terest in the beautiful aud sub stantial C ottage G rove which is to come, and from the present o ut look, it begins to appear th at the w ait is not going to be very long. This building, 75x90 feet, three stories high is a very good addition to w hat we already have, iu that direction. T here are ju st a very few old sh ack s left oti our main business street, and when these are replaced by good aud sub stantial two an d three-story bricks, Cottage G rove will have a business section th a t m anv tow ns much larger th an this m ight well feel proud. Since we first m entioned this building there have been other changes beside the addition of the third story. Instead of the lower floor being-occupied by two stores aud the secoOd as an A rm ory for the Coast G uards, the whole struc ture with the exception of one room on the ground floor will be used as a hotel. Oue of the ground floor rooms will be occupied by the office, dining room, kitchen, etc., while the second and th ird stories will contain about sixty rooms, half of which will be n ex t to the outside waffs with beautiful win dows giving plenty of light, air and sunshine. At the present tim e it has not been determ ined who will be so lucky as to become the first lan d lord of this m agnificent hostelry, while Mr. W allace, of the Rees- W allace Co., general merchandise, is looking forward to the tim e when his stock of goods will occupy the corner room ou the first floor which will be one of the finest store rooms iu th e city, and will furnish him a better chance to display his goods.
