made money out Of everything he has
ever .ried it is generally conceded that
this big hotel scheme will not prove an
exception. 1t is frame structure, will
be three stories in height and will con.
tain 80 rooms, including q couple OF large
store rooms. Wood work has been COM
pleted up TO the second story and the
