GUS hctel, it does not seem to make much
headway, there is still a quiet agitation Of
the subject and some Of the more hopeful
ones think that it viii be but q short time
before the matter shall have taken definite
shape. Since the burning Of the Centennial
the need for such an institution has been
made painfully apparent. and the bitter
experience Of a number Of gentlemen now in
the city in attendance upon rourt should
make the people stir themselves and sub
~stitnte actions for words. There is no
heed Of building a palace A Substantial
structure with conveniences and good ac-
commodatiOps will answer the purpose.
Bntii this is done there is no need asking
people to come to Butte on Especial or other
occasions, for only Sunday night a number
Of the Philipsburg people who came in were
compelled to walk the streets all night be-
cause they could not secure sleeping
accommodations. While, however, The
hotel is making slow progress
there are several citizens who have
taken time by the forelock, and while me-
chanics are comparatively plenty and labor
and material cheap, they are building.
Among these may be mentioned j. f..
Kelly, whose fine structure on West Park
is now fairly under way. The solid stone
foundation is nearly completed and in a
lew days the superstruc6ure will be begun

liver the goods.
