A LARGE ATTENDANCE.
The Initial Event at the Imperial Hotel
Was a Ringer.

The banquet and ball, given as the
opening event of the new Imperial
Hotel, which took place Tuesday
evening, was a very successful affair.
The large building was crowded with
eager throngs desirous of inspecting
this elegant hosiery, said to be the
best appointed hotel between here and
Spokane, including the entire Palouse
country, and ample opportunity was
afforded all to do so. Every room
was left open, with only a delicate
ribbon across the threshold to indicate
that observation and not intrusion was
desired. The ball and banquet were
strictly up to the mark, and partici-
pants pronounce the occasion one of
festal gaiety and enjoyment. The
banquet music furnished by the Riggs
orchestra, from the orchestra balcony,
came in for its need of praise.
