class than the generality OF those heretofore
.,sctsd, We will allude TO one branch
Of prospective progress, that OF hotels.
Perhaps the most marked Improvement OF
IN. season, as doing away with feature
that has long been prominent ia our city.
will be the tearing down OF the lie Claire
House and the erection upon its site OF a
building commensurate with tie size and
growing importance of our city A lie"

the town on the Upper Mississippi, now ii
il to be torn down 10 make space for
huildiup more in cores pondence with the
business and extent OF the place.
Mr.. d. NJ. Adams has leased the lot at
the corner OF Perry and Fourth sts. where
he eontemplates the erection OF hotel the
present season, "a by 100 feet, four stories
sboye the basement, eomPrehending about
one hundred rooms. Mr.. A has already
done something for our city by purchasing
tho old brick brewery at the head oil Main
street, fitting it up into some twenty-five or
thirty rooms and converting il into board
ing house.
II is also rumored that n company has
been formed in our city for the erection OF
, colossal first class hotel, and for that pur
pose have purchased one-half of the square
owned by Capt. May and occupied by Cotes
g. Davies as lumber yard. The building
il is said, will be the full front size Of the
lot, extending from street to street. The
hotel business of Davenport is so large that,
we presume, there is thought to be no pos
sibiity Of overriding it.
