The managers of the North

and always endeavor to keep that
popular hosiery up to date The rooms
have recently been papered and the
wood work decorated and also new
furniture Installed. The heating ar
rangements have been improved
greatly and in a few weeks new
| toilet and bath rooms will be in
stalled. With these changes will no
doubt come an increase in the already
! large patronage that the hotel enjoys.
That the use of cement, terra
Gotta, brick and stone, with steel
framework, will make it possible soon
to do away with wood entirely, is the
belief of many. AS matter of fact,
however, the popular idea that fire.
proof materials will do away with
the need of using lumber in COM
paratively few years is very err
roneous one. All of the various fire.
proof materials going into the ap-
proved construction of the more sub
stantial buildings are used in greater
quantities now than the world
dreamed of few years ago, yet the
heavy demand for lumber continues.
