HAMILTON, March 2S.--William Toolo
and wife returned this morning from an
extended trip in the East. Mr.. Toole told
Q STANDARD reporter that the various inn
provements which have been considered
here this spring will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible. The new hotel, he
said, would be commenced at once and
would be ready for occupancy as soon as
workmen can get il so. The stone for the
foundation is already on the ground and
the excavation will be started immedi-
ately. With Mr.. Toole are e. w.
Reynolds, manager of the Montana hotel
at Anaconda, and L. w. Scofleld, who
designed the new hotel which is to be
built here. These gentlemen came over
from Anaconda to assist in the prclimin-
airy arrangements for the work on the
hotel, and Mr.. Scoield has tho plans of
the building with him.
These plans show handsome three
story building, which will contain about
60 sleeping rooms and fitted with all
modern convenences. On the ground
floor are the large rotunda, 90 feet by 30 !;
the dining room and kitchen, sample
rooms, bar and billiard room, barber shop
and bath rooms, and large pantries and
store rooms. In the second story are
large, well-lighted halls, pleasant parlors
and single rooms and suites with bath
rooms. Tho arrangements of the third
floor is similar TO this.
An elevator runs to the top of the build
ing from the basement and broad porch
surrounds the structure on three sides. In
appearance the building is very attractive
and will he an important addition to o-Inc
attractions of the town. In extreme di-

south and east exposure. The womcn's
entrance is on the south side and here the
porch widens into a 14-foot veranda, which
will make q delightful lounging place. On
every floor are bath and toilet rooms. The
building will be heated by steam and will
be one of the most comfortable hostleries
in the state.
Another visitor in town to-day is Con
Kohrs, the cattle king, whose presence hero
is of particular Importance, as it is con-
nectcd with the Inauguration of work on
the extensive cold storage plant which
Mr.. Kohrs and his associates will erect
here this season. The plans for the new
plant are about completed and it will be
the most extensive establishment west of
the Missouri river packing houses. Mr..
Kohrs talked Interestingly of the plans of
his company to-day. The new institution
will be of more than local importance. II
will benefit the whole state and will be a
boon TO all citizens of Montana. The
operations of the concern will be more
extensive than has generally been sup
posed and will be the first practical trial
on large scale of tho oft-discussed plan
of having packing houses near the source
of the beef supply.
w. w. McCrackin of the Ravalli county
bank will be in town tomorrow after
trip to Butte and it is expected that the
new bank will be opened for business
next week. Everything is i'm readiness
for the opening and everybody is anxious
that it should take place. The steel safe
of the bank, which has been in tho vault
for two weeks, is n splendid piece of me-
chanical work. 1t is of the most modern
construction and is probably the finest
safe in the state. The mechanism of the
locks is very intricate and they defy the
most expert burglar.
Farmers are sowing their grain in all
parts of the valley this week, those below
Stevensville having begun with the past
few days. The busy season of the valley
is fully under way and there is no rest
now for the Bitter Rooter nor will there
bc until winter comes again,
