A MAGNIFICENT HOTEL.
The New Hotel st. James of San Jose
Will Be an Imposing Fire-Proof
Structure and Perfect in
It's appointments.

SAN JOSE, May 6.-San Jose is soon
to be graced with one of the most mod
ern and complete freproof hotel struc-
lures Of the Western coast Mr. David
c. Halsey. proprietor of the Hotel ST.
James. has completed plans for a new
hotel building that in point of attractive
ness of exterior and convenience of inte-
rior arrangements can with difficulty be
surpassed. The main portion of the old
building has been demolished and in five
months it is anticipated the new build
ing will be ready for occupancy.
The new St James will be a five-story
building, the framework being of iron,
the walls Of brick with terra Gotta finish
and the roof of thing. The style adopted
vogue in California, and the erected
structure will be one of San Jose's best
architectural ornaments. The building
will, as formerly, front on North First
street, overlooking st. James Park, and
adjoin the courthouse During the de-
molition of the old main building and
the erection of the new the business Of
the St. James is being conducted in the
cOmmodious four-story brick annex that
of itself contains $50 rooms, and Will
eventually be attached to the main build
