able of taking care of a large
number of guests. Mr.. Ralph
states that his outlay Of cash in
the matter of equipping this
hotel will represent a sum near
the six thousand mark, and hav-
ing purchased for splendid fig
ures it means that he will have
something swell.
1t is probably useless to say
anything about the building as it
has been described before in this
paper, but will state that it con-
taIns fifty bed rooms. twenty
eight of which are equipped with
bath rooms. besides two public
bath rooms. The parlor is on the
second floor and will he elegently
furnished. The office and lobby
is on the ground floor near the
center of the building facing the
the south. II is large and con-
veniently arranged and will be
furnished with the latest equip
ments. At the back of this is
the large, well lighted and venti-
lated dining room, which will be
one of the most tastily arranged
in the whole South Plains and
near this will be the kitchen
which has been designed with a
view to being highly sanitary.
Lubbock has had many good
hotel men. and has now, but the
equipment in this hotel will give
Mr.. Ralph an opportunity to offer
the public better hotel accommo-
dations than ever before in the
history of Lubbock.
We are sure that the travelling
public will appreciate it and give
the new hostelry a liberal patron
age.

GRADE WORK PROGRESSING
Graders on the Santa fe Lubbock
to Texico Cutoff Max
ing Good Progress

Everything is lovely along the
grade line of the Santa Fe Lub-
book to Texico cutoff. Several
of the graders are now on their
portion of the line and others will
be arriving next week. and begin
operations as soon as they arrive.
As stated last week the first
twenty-five miles of the grade
has been covered by sub-con-
tractors, and the balance of the
line will be assigned as soon as
the contractors can get on the
ground. There is no delay an
ticipated in the grade work, as
everything is in good shape and
the grade is light all the way
with the exception of one or two
short stretches and even that is
light for railroad grading.

The Avalanche representative
this week met the proprietor of
the new hotel and from him we
learn that he has Just returned
from Kansas City. where he had
spent a week or more selecting a
complete set of hotel furniture
and fixtures for the new hotel
building, owned by Merrill and
Roberds. and which is just now
having the finishing touches put
on it.
Mr.. Ralph stated that he ex-
pected to have everything ready
to open for business by the first
day of September. His furniture
will arrive not later than the
tenth of this month, and he will
put big force Of workmen to
work placing it as soon as it gets
here and calculates that he will
not miss the date of opening as
stated above. He purchased the
furniture for this hotel with the
view of giving his guests the
very best that can be had IN this
section of the state. The furni-
ture and fixtures will be attract
i've, every thing from the lobby
to the parlor will match in finish
and will be q very attractive
stopping place tor the public.
He says it will be the best hotel
on the plains when he gets it
furnished and his experience in
the hotel business covering a Pc
riod of over twenty years assures
the public that he is on TO his job
and when he says this, it is likely
to be said from the view point of
knowing whereof he speaks, and
Lubbock can publish to the world
that she has a hotel well equip

Refugees From Mexico

FL Paso, Tex, July 81. An
other special train. bearing 400
refugees from American settle
ments in the Cassas Grandes dis
trict, arrived to night, making
l, 500 refugees. mostly women
and children, stranded here.
Few men are arriving.
The refugees report at Pear
son, 200 miles south of the bor-
der that hundreds of refugees
are mobilizing from the noun
tain settlements.
Overland from Colonia Diaz is
moving a wagon train of 500 per-
sons, mostly women and children,
men walking by the side of the
caravan with rifles in hand.
This group is due to arrive in
Hachita, N. NJ, where a few
miles west a railroad will give
the men immediate employment.
Hundreds cared for here at
municipal expense remained
housed in tents. and at a lumber
yard. The tents ordered from
st. Louis by Washington authori-
ties have not arrived.
Nothing has been heard from
Colonia Morelos. where many
AmericaDs are. This gives rise
to much anxiety on the part of
the refugees here. 1t is known
that band of rebels set out for
Morelos just after disarmlng
many Americans.
