The other business to come before

merchants to investigate the premium

The next question of Importance to

the board Of directors, will be the cleo

The WORK
WILL GO ON
On the New Sheldon Hotel,
But the Question Is
WHEN WILL IT GO ON
Stoppdge OF the Work Was Caused
BY d Necessary Modification Of
the pldns-Mr. Fischer Has
..-. Bought $4,000 Worth OF Fur

nlture
"Work on the Sheldon will be re-
sumed on the - day of -, 80"
This Is the most definite statement
that can be made at present in regard
to the question that is uppermost in
the minds of lots of business men.
Mr.. Fischer, proprietor of the
Pierson hotel, and prospective lessee
Of the new Sheldon, returned this
morning from Chicago where he has
purchased furniture to the extent Of
$20, 900 for the new hotel. He said that
he was aware of the recent stoppage
of work and had kept in telegraphic
communication with Ell Paso. He So d
that differences had been adjusted and
at work would go ahead at once.
"Yes, work is to be resumed" said
Horace B. Stevens, this morning, "on
the Sheldon, out am not sure as to
the next date"
A fair summary of the whole mat
ter is this: When the original propo-
sitton was made and considered, it WAS
believed that the improvements would
cost 1925, 900 and on this basis the con-
tract between Fischer and Sheldon was
signed.
After an examination by the archi-
tect, Mr.. Sheldon was informed that
than that. The contract had been
signed, but at the suggestion of Mr..
Partits, it is said, Mr.. Fischer: in con-
sideration of the grester improve
ments that the architect advised,
wrote Mr.. Sheldon, Offering to pay an
additional rental of 10 per cent per
annum on all the amount above S25, 600
expended on Improvements on the
building. This proposition was &C
cepted.
But the plans have been so enlarged
and so elaborated from time to time,
that Mr.. Fischer does not now feel
justified in paying the additional rental
that would be required by a strict COM
pliance with his letter. The total rent
al, under that, would be nearly 1000
Therefore he made himself plain in
the matter to Mr.. Sheldon, and the lat
ter finally ordered work on the build
ing stopped, preferring to modify the
plans, rather than compel strict COM
pliance on Fischer's part of every let
ter of the contract.
1t is believed now that modif-
cations of the plans are being
made, and that when these are
completed, work will be resumed
1t may be necessary for an architect
to come out here again and again
examine the building.
This Is the true state of affairs. It
may be June before Ell Paso has q
Sheldon hotel.
But telegram has been received
saying the whole matter has been sat
isfsctorily arranged by Mr.. Sheldon,
so the hotel at some time is assured.

HIT FOR A HUNDRED

A. E.. Dale is the name of a
young man from Mexico City who came
to this city and presented several drafts

The draft in the latter instance was
