DEPOT HOTEL.
This Hotel was opened by II. Thomas
the present proprietor in the fall of 1872.
Here Is where the trains on the o. & C. X. r.
stop fol breakfast and supper and always find
meals IN readiness and well served. "Dick"
as he is familiarity called is the Improvement
company" of the town. He has covered
every available foot OF ground on his lots with
buildings and the last year he conceived the
idea OF another convenience he could add 10
his already handiIy ftted-up house, by build
a tower and placing large water-tank on
top which upon being filled with water
would enable him to supply all his rooms
with water and at the same time be protec-
ton by IFS facilities for extinguishing fire To
act upon this idea at once is Characteristic of
him, and he Immediately employed workmen
and in short time had the structure complete
and placed 1900 gallon tank on top with
one OF the latest improved windmills to force
the waterup and into the tank, the whole
structure being about eighty feet high. He
has since constructed horse power to attach
to the pump, and is now prepared for any
emergency. In the way Of improvements it
can be safely said that Dick Is far ahead OF
any business man in Oakland.
