the accommodation Of guests than ever
before.
Pomona's hostelry, in her hotels and
large lodging houses, is all that could be
expected Of q city Of 1000. The Palo-
mares hotel Is mammoth structure, on
Carey Avenue, extending from Centre
street on the north to Libbie street on
the south, and is finished, furnished and
equipped regardless Of expense. A he
tel OF one hundred and thirty rooms will
soon be completed in Lordsburg and
will be finely furnished. As Q sample,
the elevator cost $500. The sixty.Rve
room hotel at La Verne will be ready
also for the accommodation OF guests BY
the time 1t will be needed. L. Verne,

We all are very confident OF the result

majorities change. Look at Grover
Cleveland. In 1882 his State gave him,

1884, for President, less than eleven
