himself while lying on a cot in the

complained of not feeling well.

New Hotel for The palles.


The new hotel directors and stock
holders held a meeting Friday eve
ming to discuss the question as to
whether or not the hotel that has
been talked of SO much, will be built,
and 1t was decided that 1t should by
a strong affirmative vote, says The
Dalles Chronicle. 1t has not been q
question of lack of capital that has
held the proposition back. 1t is a
business project that could not be
rushed into without studying the
question from all sides.
The projectors are almost a unit
for the building of the hotel.
Mr.. Mueller of the Star Brewing
Co., and a we'll known hotel man,
when asked about the best location
for a hotel, said: place your hotel
on west Second street on the location
you selected" and seemed to think 1t
was the most slightly place, and the
most public and most desirable place
in the city
The secretary of the hotel project,
when asked about the time the hotel
will be built, said the company hopes
TO soon begin. C. p. Crandall is the
architect who has furnished plans for
the building.
The building of the hotel will mean
a great deal for the city and will be
a great improvement to west Second
street.
The stockholders are holding an
other meeting this afternoon.

CANDY FOR THE FLEET.
Battlcship Squadron Receives 10000
Pounds of Sweets.

The navy department has ordered
another lot of 10000 pounds of high
grade chocolate bonbons for the Pa
cific fleet, to be delivered in San
Francisco before the ships sail for
the orient, says the Trade Review
Since the Spanish war large ship
ments have been repeatedly ordered
for the warships, owing to a convic-
tion on the part of the medical corps
that chocolates lessen the desire for
strong drink and are especially good
for men in the tropics.
Purity, flavor and keeping qualities
are the three requirements. Every
bonbon is wrapped in tin-foil and then
packed in air-tight tin boxes with
screw tops to resist heat and salt air.
Jack does not care for the pretty pa
per boxes landsmen know so well,
