tic meeting of the Stewart Hotel
company appeared and it was then
stated that an extended description
of the new grand hotel to be erect
ed at once would appear in this
issue.
The late meeting was a thorough
ls enthusiastic one. all members
were present except one, whose
absence was sincerely regretted by
all, on account of the important
business pending the action of the
meeting. That the enterprise is
on solid, substantial basis is evil
denced by the fact that by unami-
nous vote it was agreed to double
the capital stock, making the capi-
tai of the company $50, 600 instead
of $40, 600. The hotel will cost
$50, 900 and the bath house $40, 600.
The plans for both, drawn by Ar
chitect Cushman, were adopted and
work ordered commenced at once.
The push and energy of the men,
bers of the Stewart Hotel company
united with their enthusiastic in
terest in the enterprise insures an
early completion of the elegant
structure.
The new hotel will be erected on
block 12 of Fargo & Prentice's ad-
dition, one of the most eligible and
convenient sites in the city. The
building which is of the Gothic
style of architecture, will be 1o6
feet long over the porch, the main
building will be e6 feet long and
81 feet wide on the ground. From
the foundation to the top of the
tower the height will be 80 feet,
the length of the third floor will be
70 ft. 6 inches from outside to out
side. The hotel proper will con-
tain 80 rooms. There will be no
room contain less than 135 square
feet of floor space. The balconies
will contain 1850 square feet of
floor space. The guests will be
carried to the fifth floor by means
of a hydraulic elevator. The
kitchen and dining room are locat-
ed on the fourth floor, which does
away with the smoke, steam and
smells that naturally arise from
cooking however cleanly it may be
done. Plate and art glass will be
put in the windows throughout the
building. The entire hotel will be
lighted by means of electric lights
and all the latest improvements
and conveniences will be put in
that will render the building equal,
if not superior to any hotel in the
northwest. 1t will be heated
throughout by the latest improved
steam heating apparatus. The
plumbing and sewerage are as
nearly perfect as it is possible to
make them.
The inside of the hotel will be
finished in the finest style of car
penter work and made as nearly
freproof as it i; possible to
make it. Nothing will be omitted
that will tend to the convenience,
comfort and enjoyment of the
guests. The building will be a
/! frame one of artistic design, and
built in the neatest and most orns-
mental manner. The location is all
that conld be desired and the large
lawn surrounding the hotel is to
be laid out in drives and walks,
ornamented with flower beds, shad-
ed with trees and irrigated by
means of several fountains. The
site overlooks the valley of Fall
River and from the tower the
entire city of Hot Springs can be
seen.
The bath house will be built OF
stone on block 18 of Stewards ad-
dition and is of the same style OF
architecture as the hotel. 1t will
be remembered that the water in
the we'll located on this block is oi
higher temperature than any found
in or about this famous Hot
Springs country. The temperature
reaches 1o6 degrees and carries
the same medicinal qualities as
that found anywhere in this neigh
borhood. The bath house will con
tain all modern Improvements and
conveniences. The inside fittings
will be of the latest design and
improved pattern. No enterprise
could have been entered into that
will be of more benefit to the city
at large than the erection of this
new hotel and bath house. The
hotel is located near we'll of the
finest cold water known of in the
county, which will be carried in
pipes all through the hotel, the hot
water will be carried the same way
to all parts of the building. Al.
together this hotel will be one ol
the finest in the state, and Hot
Springs is to be congratulated that
she holds i'll her midst men of such
enterprise, energy and foresighted.

beginning of numerous other i'm
provements that this company have
in view. And as all the members
of the company are known to be
capitalist of no small calibre The
company is one of the soundes,
