One ofthe most pleasing architect
ural features of the main building is
the immense chimney at the west
end. An arched opening through its
entire width at the end of the hall
on the second floor affords light and
an egress to future balcony from
which will be obtained one of the
finest views in the West.
All outdoor plumbing for the
water works system is about COM
plete. Superintendent Choate is
much complimented for the manner
in which he has done this work.
The bowling alley is now well ur-
der way and its proportions indicate
ample facilities for the enjoyment Of
this popular amusement.
The mason work for the gents
plunge will be completed tomorrow.
1t is the best piece of rock work
about the grounds.
The ballroom has been floored in
first class shape and will be the f.
nest room of the kind in Idaho.
The ornamental work on the east
and south gables in connection with
the tower between those gables, con-
spire to afford Haley the best view
of the building.
Flowing, leveling and seeding is
being pushed at a lively rate these
beautiful days. Some 40 acres of
the ample grounds will be seeded
within few days, if the weather
continues so favorable. Much time
will thus be gained as the grasses
will secure the full benefit of the
winter SHOWS and early spring will
reveal velvety lawns where a few
weeks ago was only sagebrush
wastes.
If our Eastern readers who have
already enjoyed one or more snow
storms could witness the activity
around the Haley Hot Springs this
Goth day of November, they would
no longer marvel at our claims of
possessing the finest health and pleas
ure resort in the United States.
Over $4,000 is being systematical-
ly expended under the personal di-
rection of Robt. E. Strahorn to make
this a resort of which all Idaho will
be proud.
The Hot Springs herd of Short
Horn cattle, now numbering nearly
500 head, are in tip-top shape for the
winter. Strahorn & Co. have made
the most of the fine season in the
erection ofample barns and sheds to
comfortably house every animal.
Meantime all but 80 or 40 head
of mich COWS are still being kept on
the unsurpassed natural pasture
lands surrounding Hot Springs
Ranch. This is undoubtedly the
greatest fine stock-breeding enter
prise in the Northwest, and the range
stockmen familiar with it freely ex-
press the opinion that it will prove
highly profitable as the present ten
dency is to grade up the native herds.
Several sales Of breeding stock have
already been made at handsome
bargains, one Cassia county ranch
man, few days ago, having come
nearly 100 miles with his wagon to
haul away two spring calves for
which he paid $3.50.
Those who are expressing their dis
appointment at the delay in opening
the resort this fall have a grain of
consolation in the fact that every
thing will be in such perfect order in
the spring that when its hospitable
doors are thrown open there will be
no occasion to close them again to
finish the work.
The electric light poles are now in
place from the new works to the
grounds and all buildings of the
resort. Even the barns will have
electric lights and thus insure their
safety from fire. Think of the beauty
and animation of the scene as view
ed from Haley on dark nights when
the entire drive and all buildings
and grounds are thus brilliantly
illuminated.
The most elaborate preparations
are being made for advertising the
Hot Springs and this region as a
health and pleasure resort through
out the East this winter, in which
Strahorn & Co., the Union Pacific
Railway, and our citizens are all
taking hand. One of the schemes
taking shape is to have special trains
out of Chicago, Omaha, Denver, Salt
Lake and Portland emblazoned in
giant letters with legends best cal
culated to attract attention HALEY
and Idaho. This will be done at the
