Seattle is to have another hotel. A
deal was closed yesterday whereby the
Occidental Block will become the
Hotel Seattle. The incorpOrat0rs Of
the new venture are State Senator F.
G.. Harper, of East Sound, w. e.
Stevens, J. III. Grant, Charles Roy and
H. S. Stevens, all now incorporators of
the Hotel Stevens. The Stevens Hotel,
at the corner of First and Marion, be-
comes part Of the property of the in
CORPORATION. The office of the new
hotel will be where the Peoples Saw
ings Bank is now located, and that i'm
stitution was yesterday notified to find
a new location in twenty days. 1t is
supposed that by that time the fres-
Goes and the army Of workmen will
be ready to 90 to work to transform
the business block into first-class
hotel. A grill room will be established
in one of the store rooms Of the build
ing, and altogether the new property
wilt be desirable one in every sense
of the word.-Seattle Times. We are
pleased to note that Hon. +. G. Har-
per, for many years one OF our most
prominent citizens and merchants, has
engaged i'm q business in Seattle which
will in all probability prove to be a
very lucrative one, and one which he
is particularly we'll qualified to con-
duet. He has engaged himself with
gentlemen of high standing and ell
viable reputation and we'll known as
among the best hotel managers on this
coast. The hotel will be the largest
and finest in the Queen City and Mr..
Harper's host of friends in this county
hope and believe that it will always
be well filled with satisfied and well
fed guests. Mr.. Harper's wide &C
quaintaince throughout the state and
his gentlemanly and afable manner
at all times, will win for his house
many patrons. The already popular
firm of Stevens & Grant have made no
mistake in selecting Senator Harper
for partner and business companion.
We wish them success.
