THE GRAND PACIFIC.
The erection of this splendid hostelry, its
elegant furnishing and sumptuous fare is doing
more to advertise the city than any and all the
rest of the institutions which Moorhead pos
sesses. 1t was built magnificently, furnished
luxuriously and is kept sumptuously. 1t is
built after the Queens Anne style of architec-
ture and is a model of beauty. 1t is located
on Front street, Ninth and James, and fronts
on each. On James street the st. Paul, Min
neapols & Manitoba railroads broad and spa
cious platform reaches the north
entrance. The building is 1876 feet long by
40 wide. 1t was designed by L. s. Buffing
ton of Minneapolis, architect, was erected by
Fl. A. Bruins and is operated by John Baugh.
In its conception the owner designed to build
a hotel perfect in all parts. Large, high
sleeping rooms, spacious halls and corridors,
office, parlors, dining room, sample rooms
and all other hotel apartments are the result.
In its equipment nothing but the best was
desired, or had. Heated by
steam throughout lighted with
gas, bath rooms adjoining sleeping rooms,
and luxurious parlor and bedroom furniture,
velvet and Brussels carpets, and in short any
thing rich and comfortable which money
would purchase is the result Nothing but
the rich, elegant and beautiful are to be found
within its four walls. It is built in the form
of hollow square, the office one story high
and lighted by skylights occupying the center
space. AS you enter from either side you are
at once impressed with the vastness of the space
allotted for office and halls, and find yourself
able to move without the inconvenience one
usually experiences about the office and cor
ridors of some of our first class hotels. Its
suites of rooms, comprising bedroom, dress
ing room, sitting room, closet, bath room
with hot and cold water and
water closet, heated by steam and
lighted by gas, suggest an idea of
comfort to which ordinary hotels are utter
strangers. The proprietor, Mr.. H. A. Bruins,
has eXhibiteda remarkable sagacity through
out. Any man of means can build fine
hotel under the plans of a competent archi-
tect. Any man of means can furnish hotel
under direction of furniture dealers and up
holsterers who understand it, but it
takes a pretty level headed man to
select manager who won't run the institu-
ton into the ground. That Mr.. Bruins is just
that sort of a. man is evidenced by his selec-
ton of Manager Baugh. st. Paul people,
and, in fact the travelling public of the North
west, are too familiar with his capabilities as
a hotel man, to need any introduction to him.
1t is only necessary to say, that he has brought
about him thoroughly competent and ex-
perienced corps of hotel people, who under
stand every part of their duties, and who make
the comfort of their guests their first thought.
Courteous treatment and prompt attention TO
The wants of patrons, is the first
duty he requires of his subordinates.
There are 104 sleeping rooms in the house in
Guiding nineteen suits of three and four rooms
reaclly adapted for small families. In every
particular in construction, equipment and
the Grand Pacific hotel of Moor
head is perfect and model of its kind, fur
nishing table unrivalled by any house north
west of Chicago and Milwaukee, and will of
Itself do more for Mooroead than anyone who
has not seen it can imagine. Manager Baugh
IS ably assisted at the desk by Chief Clerk
David K. Edwards, late of the Metropolitan,
st. Paul, and Fl. s. Hyndman, late of Boston,
night clerk. All Manitoba trains stop for
mails H. the Grand Pacific.
BLOCK OF STORES.
Mr.. F. NJ. Blines is building a block of ten
stores on Ninth street, fronting the Grand Pa
life, the larger part of which are already
'ented. They are two stories high and are
7eneered with brick.
MANUFACTURES.
Although comparatively little has as yet
,een done in this city, the little accomplished
S important. The
MOORHEAD ROLLER MILL,
owned by Mr.. II. A. Brun, manufacture 100
barrels of -four per day, which is all shipped
vest to Ft. Benton, Miles City, Deadwood and
other points but can't begin to supply the de-
nand. Recently two car loads were shipped
7ia. Ft Benton to the Canadian Pacific adj
vance engineers on Bow river, Manitoba.
STEAM PACKING HOUSE.
Mr.. Peter Click, one the livliest of the live
men of Moorhead, has very perfect butcher
shop and packing house, doing all
,he heavy work ana cooking
by steam. He did a business last
year of over 100000, and has made every
dollar he possesses since he came here. He buys
lis stock entirely at st. Paul, and only the
best.
BRICK MAKING.
In the past season 10000 brick were made
At Moorhead, and to-day none can be had at
s25 per 1000. The Lamb Bros. made of this
number over 100000. Eight years ago they
began by making 10000, the first ever made
here. They are very much similar in color
20 the famous cream brick of Milwaukee, and
Ire superior to any brick manufactured north
west of st. Paul. The gentlemen own and OPP
.rate also large livery, feed and sale stable,
which will hold 100 horses and seventy-five
,ons of hay, and are heavily engaged in the
wood business having over l 900 cords of dry
wood now on hand, They en-
eloy sixty.fve men the year round,
