TO BUILD $2,5O0,O0O HOTEL in SPOKAN
Davenport Plans IL Story Structure That
Will Cover Entire Block.

The most stupenduous hotel I'M
dertaking in the west, entailing an
expenditure of $2,500,000, is
planned for Spokane by Louis
Davenport, recognized as the fore
most restauranteur of the country.
The deal is now under way for the
purchase of the entire block of
property bounded on the north by
Sprague avenue. the west by Lin
coin street, south by First avenue
and east by the Davenport res
taurant and Pennington hotel.
Although the deal has not yet
been completed, deeds for enough
of it have been signed to make
the purchase of the entire property
certainty. The only difficulty be.
ing experienced in the deal is in
the negotiations with ]. w. Cor
bett, owner of about so feet front
ing on Sprague avenue. 1t is un,
derstood that Corbett has set a
valuation upon this property which
Is considered too high at the pre-
vailing price the other property
has been purchased for.
Just what architectural plans
are to be adopted are unknown, but
in all probability Kirkland X. Cut
ter, the architect who planned
Davenport's restaurant, will have
general superintendence. Cutters
Davenport plans have made him
famous and made the restaurant
famous. For this reason his
genius will probably be employed
in perfecting the architecture of
the new institution.
At least an IL story building will
be erected. Although the Paulson
building is II stories high, the
stories are lower than those of the
Davenport project. Davenport's
plans are for the highest building
in Spokane.
Just what price will be paid for
property already optioned Is un-
known at present, and Mr.. Daven-
port refuses to state, although &C.
knowledging that things are un-
derway.
1t is planned to make the actual
expenditure on the hotel $4,000
600, and as the property in that
section of the city is considered
almost as valuable as property in
the business center-Howard and
Riverside--the price will probably
be considerably more than 100000,
making the total expenditure near
100000.
: A separate company from that
which owns Davenports restaurant
will own and operate the proposed
hotel 1t is understood that the
Spokane & Eastern Trust Co. is
backing Mr.. Davenport in his new
deal.

POCKET PICKED
OF $1,000
OWNER HAD HIS HAND AND
MIND ON THE MONEY, BUT
1T VANISHED JUST THE
SAME.

While walking from the Old Ma
tional bank to the ROokery build
ing yesterday, Emil Ewanson's
pockets were picked of two pack
ages of currency, each containing
$780, which he had just drawn out
of the bank. Swanson put the
packages in his coat pocket and
claims he kept his hand over the
pocket all the way to the Rokkery
building. Yet the packages when
he looked for them were gone.
1t is believed he was the victim
of an exceptionally clever pick
pocket. These fellows have the
business down to a science. A
mans brain can intercept but a
single thought at a time, though
it be but an instant until it is on
something else. The philosophy
is carefully worked out by the
dips" Usually they will jostle a
man or slap him on his back. His
mind at once reverts to the point
jostled or slapped and while his at
tention is so centered a pickpocket
can rob him. Swanson, however,
has no recollection of any such &C.
currence.

Francis Cinquars, the republican
committeeman from Brickell pre-

that only four men had up to date

s,aked the maximum on No. 32 on two
tables simultaneously. Marvellous to
relate 32 won on both tables 1t took
the croupiers, paying 35 for l OF her
stake, nine minutes to count out her
winnings.
The coup caused Intense excitement,
especially ss Lady de BAthe resolutely
walked out With her winning. In The
arium number of sCqusiDtances sur
rounded her and were c0Dgralulsiing
her when a friend rushing from the ta-
bles shouted 10 her;

Unlike the seasoned gambler she hsd
not bet again IN the number which
brought her rsuch big winnings.
