THE HOTEL sEAGRAyE.
A FIr.t. Class Jnssitution and Con.

Undoubtedly some injury has been
done to Seattle by the report. assidu-
oasly circulated abroad. that there Is
no first-class hotel in this city. People
Who have intended To visit the city
have not landed for this reason, but
have gone to Victoria or Tacoma.
when the big fire came and swept
away the Occidental, Mr. A. A. Sea
grave had nearly completed row OF
seven flats on the corner OF Third and
Virginia streets. lie saw at once the
disadvantage the city suffered for lack
of a Grst-ciass hotel, and as soon as
possible cancelled the leases, already
signed. and expended several thou
sand dollars in turning the building
into a hotel. The work was finished
and guests received week ago
The hotel, which Is frst-ciass in all
its appointments, contains 100 rooms,
and i run on the American plan. The
furniture of the building cost $4,000.
There are electric call and lire-alarm
bells In every room. Captain John A..

manager of the 81 James, San Diego,
