MAGNIFICENT NEW HOTEL IN
THE PARK
Grand Canyon Inn Will be as Big as
City BlOck--Finished i'm Time
for Opening This Year

The National park has been the
scene of unusual winter activity. Last
summer those who toured the Won
derland" saw heavy freight teams pa
tiently plodding over the hills and
wales of the national playground.
The more curious asked why" The
answer was, material for the new
hotel" and all through the long win
ter months, with drifts high and
temperatures low, the work has been
steadily progressing. On June Is,
the day the park opens for the regu-
lar tourist season, the new Grand
Canyon hotel will >be opened-p INK
urious, restful place-a place where
millions will seek bed and board"
millions who will visit Wonderland
in the years to come.
The Grand Canyon hotel, located
on an eminence adjacent to the cam
yon, and being constructed at great
cost, both of labor and money, is a
three, four and five story and base
ment frame building, with total
length of 600 feet and a maximum
width of AIS feet, containing 375
rooms and Is private bath rooms.
1t is equipped with elevator, vacuum
cleaning plant, cold storage and ice
making plant. It will be electric
lighted and steam heated The wa
ter used in the hotel is brought from
a natural cold spring about mile
and a half distant. There will be a
modern and fully equipped steam
laundry. In every way the facilities
will be thoroughly modern.
The main feature of the hotel is
the lounge" This building is a
room IT'S feet long by IS feet wide,
in front of the lobby,
and reached by broad flight of steps.
Inc SIDES are practlcally all plate
glass, so that the room will be well
lighted A fire place in one end will
be an attraction. In connection with
the orchestra to be stationed here
during the summer, the lounge will
be an ideal place for dancing.
Here will be a hotel in thorough
keeping with its surroundings-an
to command the admira-
ton of the thoughtful who realize
what is means to build thus, at tre-
mendous cost, for the future and for
the entertainment of that indefinite
and undetermined quantity-the
tourist traffic of each
summer.

OWES HIS LIFE TO PHONOGRAPH
Greeley Man at Deaths Door Changes
Mind

Greeley, Colo, June 2.-Lying at
the point of death, conscious but too
ill to care whether the thread of life
was snapped or not, w. H. Baker, an
attorney of this city, believes today
he owes his life to a photograph
played in the home of J. M. Clark,
across the street. Baker was lying
near an open window when the ma
chine began to play 20, Think of the
Home Over There" 1t was too much
for Baker, who particularly detests
this gospel song, and he resolved that
no one should have chance to sigh
over his body. His mental attitude
had so marked effect that he was soon
out of danger, and he is now we'll on
the way to recovery.

v. I. S. AT ABERDEEN
(Aberdeen Times)

Plans have been laid by the Com
mercial club for it's first social meet
ing, to be held about the last of June,
when the women of the V. |. S. and
all their friends will be the guests OF
the club. Steps in this direction were
taken at special meeting of the club
last Monday evening. Ever since its
organization something more than a
year ago, the club has been so busy
looking after the best interests and
general welfare of the community in
more material ways, that the social
interests of the organization and the
village have been neglected. 1t is
now proosed to make up for lost time
and the club members and officials
have planned big social gathering TO
take place at the Auditorium about
the time mentioned.
1t was learned that the new Village
Improvement society expected to hold
a public meeting and that one or two
of the leaders and official members of
the Blackfoot v. I. s. would be in
vited to come to Aberdeen on that
occasion to tell the Aberdeen women
how best to secure results is their eff
forts to make our town village de-
lightful.
Under these circumstances the
Commercial club decided to play the
part of host, making the Blackfoot
visitors the guests of honor and in
viting the women and all their
friends to big "get acquainted So
cial. Full details of the plan have
not yet been worked out, but a COM
mittee on arrangements has been ap-
pointed, and it is needless to say that
the gentlemen of the club will spare
no pains to make the evening a pleas
ant one for their guests. Everybody
and his wife and all other members
of the family will be invited to attend
and a generous feed will proceed the
program of the evening.
Plans have been laid for big
public meeting to be held at the Aud
itorium some evening within the next
month or so, at which time two or
more ladies who have helped to make
the Blackfoot V. I. S. success will
be present to address the gathering
and tell the women of Aberdeen how
to win out in their efforts. 1t is
promised that further details of this
big meeting will be made public in
later number of the Times.
The list of officers chosen is as fol-
lows.
Miss Emma l.. Davis, president.
Mrs. j. B. Baer, LIST vice-president.
Mrs. Mary Jackson, End vice-pres-
ident.
Miss Nora M. Jones, secretary.
Mrs. Nate Newcomb, treasurer.
The committee chosen to draft the
constitution and bylaws Is composed
of Miss Nora M. Jones, Mrs. Calvin
Moser and Mrs. D. e. Arms.

saturdays Capital News)


In the state supreme court this
morning Justice Sullivan handed
down a decision in the case of Willet
ID. Trego VS.. William Arave, reversing
the decision of the lower court, which
was a judgment for the defendant.
This case is an appeal from the dis
trict court of Bingham county and
was an action brought to recover
damages because of an alleged breach
of contract for the delivery of 300
tons of good merchantable hay. The
syllabus of the court is as follows:
/. Where contract was made for
the sale of 800 tons of good mer-
charitable" hay to be baled and ship
ped, the words good merchantable"
is descriptive of the quality of the
hay required by the contract, and
means such hay as is vendible on the
market, at the ordianry price on such
market
2. Where hay is purchased to be
sold on open market and the pur-
chaser had contracted to sell the
same for a certain price on said mar
ket, and the person from whom he
purchased it failed to comply with
his part of the contract in regard to
the quality of the hay, it was error
for the court to reject evidence tend
ing to prove the reasonable profits
that would have been made by the
purchaser had the seller delivered the
hay in accordance with the contract,
as such profit is an element of dam
age that may be recovered in an &C
ton brought for that purpose.
3. If purchaser of hay makes a.
contract for the resale of such hay
and discoloses the fact to his vendor
who undertakes to furnish the hay
and deliver it at specified time and
place, and his vendor fails to deliver
the hay, he will be liable for dam
ages on the basis of the reasonable
profits the buyer would have realized
from resale of the hay.
4. On the trial of an issue as to
whether the hay alleged to have been
sold was good merchantable hay as
provided by the contract of sale, it
was error to admit as an exhibit
bundle of such hay for the inspection
of the jury, as the jurors had not
qualified on the question of whether
they knew what good merchantable
hay was in the market where this hay
was sold; and especially is that true
in this case, as the sample introduced
was not proven to be a fair sample of
the hay alleged to have been sold.
5. The merchantable quality of
said hay should have been determin-
ed or established by the evidence Of
experts or by men who knew what
merchantable hay was in the markets
where this hay was sold, and who
had inspected said hay or an average
sample of it.
