rHE rwo BIG HOTELS.
The Denny to Re Ready for Guests on
Nay DAY.


May Day.
The progress OF work on the big Denny
hoteI Is beginning TO show for itself every
day, and those increduaons individuals
who az FIRST had their doubts about the
Denny being the largest hotel structure In
che Northwest, are beginning 70 reaiize
that its claim to that distinction IS not IN
the least oFerdrawn.
The basement and first-story walls are
up. and Yesterday workmen were engaged
putting the first door joist in position.
Contractor Potvin said yesterday thaa he
had just seyeniy-three men engaged on the
structure. and that the building was going
up as fast as he wished for. Over fifty tons
of iron arrived yesterday from Pennsyi-
wanna, which is all that viii De used IN the
snperstruc.ure. The terra Gotta ornaments
also arrived yesterday. He has all the sand,
rough lumber and most OF his brick on the
ground. and Mr.. Potvin does not appre-
mend any further trouble about beng able
to finish the building at the stipulated time.
Mr. Potyin has used over 100000 brick
since he commenced operations. 1ester.
day afternoon he placed four stone blocks
in position weighing $500 pounds each, 70
support the center tower column. III the
weather permits, said Mr.. Potvin, Il will
have the building rooted by the 18th of
January, and then the people OF Seattle,
and the large number OF tourists WAC visit
5oGr city, will have the opportunity of see
ing for themselves, what magnificent
structure the Denny hotel is going to be.
There is no doubt but what this fine hos
telry will be thrown open for guests By
next May"

A National Ylowsr.

More than ten years ago the writer
made o suggestion concerning q ma
Gonal flower and referred to the ia.
vorites Of other nations. II attracted
the attention Of few botanists at
the time and there the mattar rested.
OF late the subject has been revived
and various flowers have been men.
TONED. Many Of them have only a
local reputation, or are to be found
only in small quantities and in certain
sections Of tho United States. Like
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes. whose
poem all must remember, I desire To
recommend the Golden Rod.
1t is found in all parts Of the United
States, and, the botanists tell us, in a
hundred varieties. The Golden Rod
is far from being the 'Coarse looking
herb" which Webster defines it but Is
