The most sensational development

.STETSON PURCHASES

Same Grounds..to Contain
80 Rooms

Geo. W. Stetson of Seattle yesterday
pnrcnased the Elberta hotel property
at the corner OF Palouse and Mission
streets of the Brown Bros. Tor the sum
Of $13, 900.
The property include the two.story
hotel building and five lots facing on

Mr.. Steson will put force of men at
work repainting, repapering and thor.
ougbly repovating the hotel and will
open it again on June 10 under new
management. 1t is MIR. Stetson's idea
to put the hotel into ape to take care
of the trade only until he can have
plans drawn and complete the details
for a modern brick structure TO occupy
the grounds.
According to the plans which be
now mas iu mind the new hotel will
contain not less than 80 rooms, will be
three stories with basement and v ill
be built in the shape of an l., occupy
ing the part of the grounds not now
occupied by the present hotel. When
the new building is complete the old
structure will be torn down and the
ground where i ss2nas uAkked With a
driveway running through it. The
new building will extend at one end of
che L of Mission street and on the
other to Palouse. Il will be so arrang.
ed that the halls " ill be in the middle
of the BUILDING and every room will be
an outside room. On the sizes toward
the park will be broad verandss on
every floor from the first 60 the third.
Tie hotel will be of bi ick and the in
terror will be finished In the most
modern style.
Mr.. Sretson states that it is his in
rention to refit the Elberta hotel only
for the purpose of taking care of the
trade while the new building is under
construction and that it will be torn
down just as soon as the other is
ready for occupancy.
Just when work Will pegiD on the
building Mr.. Stetson cannot state as
there are many details to be arranged
first and the plans must be adapted to
the street grades and other conditions.
Before he can begin work it will also
be necessary to secure a permit to
connect with the sewer on Wenatchee
avenue.
MIR. Stetson left today for Seattle
and will return to Wenatchee next
week with his sIster-i law, Mrs.
Taylor, who is to run tie hotel, to
complete arrangements for his nsw
