A SUNKEN GARDEN.
Novel Feature Planned For New
Hutchinson Eating House

Hutchinson will have a. "sunken
garden" when the plans for landscape
decoration at the Bisonte, are carried
out by the Santa F'e railroad com
pany, that are now planned. On the
north side Of that hotel and between
the building and the Santa Fe pas
senger station and the big platform,
there is space that will be filed in
with garden, sunkeni below the level
of the ground there, and filed with
flowers and shrubs. There will be
walks through 1t and steps down into
1t and it will be made a place of beau
ty. 1t will attract the eye of every
traveller on all the through trains,
whether the train has it's meals here
or whether it Is the limited that stops
but a little while here. It will be a
beauty spot.
This work is not to be done until
| in the spring of the year when the
| soil will be free of frost and the
ground is in good conditions for gar
dening. 1t will then be in the hands
of a landscape gardener who will look
after that part, the little court on the
south side of the hotel and the pas
senger station park, the latter the
pride of General Superintendent
Parker
The curbing is being built for the
pavement in Walnut street, alongside
the hotel. Half of the curb is al
ready done. The pavement will be
laid within a week or so.
The platform at the passenger sta
ton Is to be heightened toward the
east to give more room for the long
trains. 1t will be the finest station
platform on the Santa Fe road, ex-
cepting at terminals and union sta
lions. It will be nearly two blocks
long and there is enough Of it to take
care Of the biggest of big trains.
The Bisonte will be opened on the
morning of Tuesday, February IS, the
first meal being served there then. II
is probable that the meal trains will
| begin to stop at the new house on
Tuesday or Wednesday, although the
old hotel will be kept open until after
| the Democratic state convention is
over, the latter part Of the week.
