DIRECTORS OF HOTEL COMPANY
MAY DECIDE TO MoDERNlzE
hosTELRY.
ADDING OF FIFTH STORY
THE PRINCIPAL FEATURE
Expenditure Of 1etwssn $4,000 and
$4,000 Being Considered in Remodel
ing Strueture-Hot and Cold Water
For All Rooms and Electric Elevator
Planned.

A big Improvement for the Pilgrim
Hotel, including the addition OF fifth
story, the placing Of hot and cold water
in all rooms. and the installation Of
combined electric passenger and
freight elevator. is under contemplation
by the Pilgrim Hotel Company, Of
which George F. Kirby is president.
At the present time the plans are
only tentative, and no definite action
will be taken until the return Of A. A.
Moore. vice president Of the company.
who is expected here Saturday or Sun
Gay from his Honolulu trip. A meet
ing Of the board Of directors will be
called soon. and at that time it will be
decided just what will be done.
To Modsrnixe Structure.
The hotel company's plans are for
the undermining Of the building thru
out. A new roof is going to be needed
the officers Of the company believe
that a fifth story may as well be
added, thus giving the hotel the in
creased room that Is needed. In pro-
viding hot and cold water for all Of the
new rooms, the system will be built so
that the water may be carried to the
other rooms.
At present the hotel has in service a
hydraulic elevator. but this is expen-
sive to operate, and new electric ele-
vator Is being considered that will haul
both passengers and freight.
Mr.. Kirby said today that If the i'm
provements as now planned were car
ried out the company would spend be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in remodel
ing the building and undermining it.

CARE OF SHADE TREES.
opportuns Subject Presented Before
City Federation of Womsn,s cluhs.

The regular meeting Of the City Fed
Grafton OF Women's Clubs Thursday
afternoon at the public library audi
forum, was In charge Of the Spinning
Wheel Chapter D. A. r. The federation
president Mrs. May F. Montgomery.
presided over the opening session.
A very instructive and interesting
address was given by Mr.. W. o. Allen,
science teacher III the high school, on
the very timely subject; 1.-THE Care Of
Shade Trees" Mr. Aliens paper was
confined to only the more impor
phases Of his subject. Mr. Allen be-
lieves that the majority Of people are
ready to go ahead provided the move
ment is a concerted one. and with his
idea in mind, he sought to show the
necessity Of caring for shade trees.
II think no one will dispute the state
ment that a carefully pruned tree, free
from dead and decaying branches, and
with no sign Of fungus diseases or in
sect pests, is very much more beautiful
than 1t would be II care were not taken
to keep it in such condition" said Mr..
Allen. 1T is clear then that II we are
to have beautiful trees. we must care
for them. and I am sure that the
pleasure resulting from the mere con-
temptation of a beautiful tree is we'll
worth the cost Of caring for it."
He also discussed at some length the
utilitarian phases Of the matter. Shade
trees are intended as their name i'm
plies. to furnish shade but as soon as
they are planted many Of us seem to
think that our part in the matter IA
ended How successful do you think
the farmer would be who carried out
the same line Of reasoning in raising a
crop Of corn?" he asked. Shade trees
must be Of the proper shape and size
to be most efficient, and they simply
will not assume this condition unless
given intelligent care. Speaking Of an
other side Of the same phase. called
practical necessity he considered that
money spent to beautifuy ~. sur
roundings and increase their efficiency.
is merely an investment, and the re-
turns, aside from those merely fnan-
cial, are out Of all proportion to the
amount Of the investment. One more
necessity that exists for the care Of
shade trees. which he mentioned. IL
that Of their preservation.
Referring to the oft-heard remark
that it is useless to try to improve on
the works Of nature, the speaker said

Of the bark has resulted, all unevsnness
may be removed with sharp knife. In
order to obtain the best results Il -
