Another Hotel Scheme.

than a month past. Among them ie
one which proposes to build a hotel on
the corner at Sixth and Main streets at
the point where a large excavation has
been made.
There are other schemes afoot and out
| OF all of them it is to be hoped that
Grand Junction may get hotel COM
mensurate with her size and COM
mercial Importance.
At the present time Mr.. w. R. Haines
of the lower valley and A. A. Miller are
in Denver working in conjunction with
j F.. Mcfarland and others on the
scheme to locate the hotel at the corner
of Sixth a. Main streets. 1t is said
that Mr. Haines has parties backing him
in Chicago to erect large hotel, il GER
tain important concessions are made.
The location proposed is an ideal one
and would materially benefit that end
of the city 1t has been the general
rule that, wherever large hotels have
been erected, which have been at all OF
any pretensions there business has fol-
lowed.
Another scheme has zen to erect
la rge hotel on the Brunswick hotel site.
There is frontage owned by Mr.. Ven
ner z. Reed of Colorado Springs on
Main street of 175 feet, upon which
could bs erected very commodious
hotel OF forty or fifty rooms. That site
offers as many advantages as the one
named above and as it is known far and
wide as a hotel it would command
great deal OF the trade.
1t is expected that some action will
shortly be taken whereby some one will
erect hotel. The trade is increasing
here all the time and the Brunswick is
far too small to accommodate the patron
there would doubtless be little hope for
one, but an examination OF the hotel
registers Of the city is conclusive proof
that good hotel will pay and pay a
rich dividend on the Investment.
