visit TO the. new seaside resort aC
Moclips, will be surprise to those un-
familiar with the beach on the north
eide, az will also be the large hotel, built
BY DR.. Lycan, in but little over thirty
days. The first lumber, eight carloads,
was received May 27, and on July l, DIR.
Lycan entertained over fifty Northern
Pacific Ry Go. officials, who came there
on an inspection trip over the new road,
and now has 96 bedrooms furnished
most comfortably.
The hotel ia in the form of three sides
of hollow square, the longest side be-
ing 2SO feet long, by "a feet wide, and
the ellis 34x6211s feet. and is all now COM
pleted but about 40 feet Of one OF the
ellis. The hollow of the square fronts
the Pacific ocean, at distance OF about
$50 feet, and is furnished with wide YER.
andas on both floors it's entire length. The
plan of the building is an improvement
on the latest ideas prevalent at the At
lantic coast summer resorts, and az
whole forms an ideal seaside hotel.
It is furnished with a large lobby,
which is used this year as a dancing hall
a. we'll; large, pleasant dining hall,
and the bedrooms are arranged 30 that
each il an outside room, and all open
onto the verandas. Although built in
such hurry, the building is finished In
q very comfortable manner. Large,
cheerful freplaces are found in the
lobby and dining room, the table and
service are excellent and the bedrooms
cleanly and cosy.
It is the intention of DR.. Lycan to
make his place resort for invalids, and
those wishing to escape from the worry
of business all the year round, and, when
his plans are completed-which he ex.
poets will be by next SUMMERTIME resort
will represent an investment Of about
$4,000.
Work will begin next fall upon two
large buildings, 4OxlO0 feet each, one Of
which will have concrete basement, +,
which will contain the electric light
plant and laundry. The first floor will
be furnished with a billiard room and
complete gymnasium outfit, smoking
rooms and bar, while on the second
floor will be the dancing hall.
The other building will be for a nata
torium and baths. A concrete swimming
tank, from to 10 feet deep, will occupy
the first floor, into which will be pumped
sea water. The heating plant for the
hotel will be in this building, and the
water in the swimming tank will be kept
at a temperature of 80 degrees. The
upper floor will be used for private ba th
rooms, where hot or cold, fresh or salt
water baths can be had at all times, in
fact, it is the plan of DR.. Lycan to max g
the Moclips hotel pleasant and restful
resort, such as will attract visitors at all
seasons from all over the Pacific coast.
The present residents of Moclips are
enthusiastic over the future prospects Of
the new town, and by no means confine
themselves to it's beauties as seaside
resort in speaking of it's possibilities
Hunting and fishing in the vicinity is
said to be Of the best, and Moclips has
dreams of manufacturing and commercial
importance.
Situated on the Moclips river, an ex-
cellent logging stream, and surrounded
by immense bodies of fir and cedar tim.
Der, with terminal rates on the railroad,
it is certain to be the center Of quite a
numbering business in the near future.
Again, the enthusiastic resident proudly
points to the fact that Humptulips City
is but u miles distant, with Moclips it's
nearest railroad station; that the large
agricultural valley Of the Humptulips
can reach it over level road, and will
surely make it the shipping and trading
point for that rich farming section. And,
in view of all the surroundings, the
claims OF Moclips are not at all improb-
able.
