Seattle Capitalist in City to Make
Arrangements for Putting up
Modern Structure on His
Property Here.
Letter from J. W. elise States thai
He also Intends Building I'M
mediateIy on Wenatchee
Hotel Corner

From present indications Samuel
Rosenberg will at an early date begin
the erection of three story hotel on
his property on the corner of Wenat-
chee and Orondo avenues.
Mr.. Rosanuefg met the trustees of
the Commercial club last plight ana
asked them TO aid him in securing
the REIMBURSEMENT of the Kruger lease
upon a part of the present BUILDING,
stating that unless this were done he
would make no attempt to improve
his property and would not consider
further the matter of erecting a block
in this city. He stated that he desired
to erect three story hotel containing
A rooms and NJ ,dern in every partc-
ular, but that unless he could secure
more room on the ground floor for the
lobby, than the present leases would
allow, 1t would be an impossibility to
attempt it at tho present time. He
stated that plans for the hotel we're
complete and introduced to the trns-
tees Mr.. Warner of Seattle who will
lease the hotel as soon as it is ready
for occupancy.
After Mr.. Resent berg had laid his
proposition before the trustees. Wal
ter Olive, who is Mr.. Rosenberg's ag-
ent here, read letter from ]. ". elise
of Seattle, who owns the corner occu-
pied py the Wenatchee Hotel, stating
that it is his intention to build on the
property this spring and that he be-
lieved his building will be complete al
most rs soon as TIE Rosenberg builc-
ing. The possibilities of getting quar-
ters for Mr.. Kirger in this new build
ipg werediscussed and q committee
was appointed by Presi dent Browne to
wait upon him and see what could be
done toward securi ne a vacation of
the Rosenberg buildin 6.
Today the committee consisting of
Arthur Gum, Jack Seaman and Jake
Miller, met MI. Kruger and practical
Iy made arrangements whereby he
would move TO the elise building pro.
viding the tG1ms of rent were satisfac-
tory. This, il is believed can be set
tied and as the matter now sta uds the
cnances for hotel on the Rosenoer 6
corner seem very good. Mr.. Rosen
berg himself has secured the Duncan
lease on the upstairs of the building
now standing on the property pay ing
Mr.. Duncan the sum of $500. 1t is
the intention of Mr.. Rosenberg, SO he
states, to erect a hotel Of which the
city may be proud and one which will
meet the requirments of the trade for
many years to come. The hotel will
be steam heated and supplied with
all modern conveniences.
Nego tlations are now under way for
combining the Beal block, just west
of the Rosenberg block. with the pew
building and increasing the size of the
tu6 IIUt61 UU
"A rooms as soon as the leases on that
block shall expire. No definite ar.
ragements had been made up to late
hour this afternoon but it is expected
that the deal will be settled before
Mr.. Rosenberg leaves OH the midnight
train for Seattle
The news that MI. elise intends
building Immediately on his property
came as surprise to mcst of those
present at the trustees meeting and
created much favorable comment. The
property has 120 foot frontage on
Wenatchee avenue and is feet deep.
Mr.. elise has NOT made public the
plans CT his new building. Mr.. Olive
who is his agent here stated today
that it will occupy the entire property,
but could not say as to whether it
would be one or two stories nigh.
The new building will give the town
| four more good store rooms.
