HOTELS COMBINE
Strathmore and St. Cloud Will be
Under One Management After
Feb. i.--Free Bus to be
Abolished.

this week whereby the furniture and
management of the Strathmore are
transferred to different hands. The
new arrangement will consist of an
incorporated company, to be known
as The Canon City Hotel company.
Mr.. John A. Armor will be the presi-
dent of the comrany and will have
the management of the two hotels.
No More Free Buses.
After the new company takes
charge Of the business of the two
hotels the free transportation from
depots feature will be abolished. This
has long been source of annoyance
to the hotel keepers, as the expense
of keeping the buses running amount
ed t. considerable.
Strathmore Main Hotel.
In the new arrangement the Strath
more will be made the main hotel.
After February the dining room
and kitchen Of the ST. Cloud will be
closed, and that place will thereafter
be operated on the European plan.
Regular boarders at the Strathmore
who will room at the st. Cloud will
be given special rates. There are
seyenty-two rooms in the st. Cloud.
and fifty-six in the Strathmore.
The Strathmore.
One set Of cooks will be dispensed
with in the new plan. Another big
feature where the expense will be cut
down Is in the laundry. The st. Cloud
is equipped with n laundry. This will
be enlarged. and the Strathmore's
: work will be done here. As everyone
knows, the Strathmore is one Of the
finest hotels in the country. The
furniture was all purchased new lit
tie over a year ago, and it is adver-
tised far and near.
The st. Cloud.
The st. Cloud has always enjoyed a
good reputation, and the combination
of these two popular resorts will
doubtless put the hotel business in
this city at very high standard.
The Bar Room.
The bar at the Strathmore is leased
by Messrs. Manning & Sappington un-
til year from next April. II they
desire to sell their lease at the expi-
ration of the coming April. when their
license runs out. the new management
will purchase il. II they do not care
to sell, things in that line will be
operated as usual.
About the Help.
In change of this kind there will
necessarily be changes made among
the employees of the establishments.
Mr.. Armor said that he knew of some
he would keep and some he would not.
Under the one management the help
problem will be lessened, as one man
can be utilized in the same capacity
in both houses.
Last Tuesday an inventory Of the
stock in the hotels was taken and
plans for the taking hold by the new
management will be quickly CON-
pleted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, who have been
in charge of the Strathmore since it
opened about year ago, have no
definite plans for the future. They
will probably remain at the Strath-
more for several days as guests after
the first of February. After that
they expect to go to Denver for a
visit, where their plans for the future
will be formulated.
The Modern Woodmen last week
initiated one candidate and acted
upon the applications Of several
others. There will work next Thurs
day night, neighbors.
