ing Machine Installed in Traders Ho-
tel Kitchen.-Extensive Improve
ments Being Made.

Colonel 7. B. Seely, the genial pro

ing constructed by a force OF carpen-
tiers, which will be used for the accommo-

etc, will be locked up and a baggage
man will be in charge to look after them.
Among the other new improvements
that have already been installed is a
new patent DISTINGUISHING machine, which

operation is 50 simple that mere child
can run it. Other costly improvements
are to be installed in the kitchen and
dining room in the near future.
