since resigned the position of city agent on
the San to Join the tide of humanity
bound for the glorious climate of Califor-
MIA, returned from the west via Denver
last evening and was interviewed by a
LEADER representative. Mr.. Jennings
is a conservative business mar and his

The southern portion of the golden
state is terribly overcrowded and vastly

were made to have every room face the
south, but this undertaking was aban-
doned after four architects had suicided
through chargrin over their failure to
draw the desired plans. When com
pleted it will be the largest hotel in the
world. The dining room will seat 1000
people, and a large theatcr will be at
tached.

southern portion of the state overdone,
