NEW HOTEL
DOW PLANNING A BEAUTIFUL
STRUCTURE LIKE. G. N.
BUILDING.

E. E. Dow was down from Bolton
yesterday, and says he is preparing
to build a new hotel there, the rapid
increase in the number of visitors
to Glacier park making it necessary.
The new hotel will be located
north and west of the present one,
and will overlook the river.M will
conform in general style and archi-
lecture to the Great Northern chalet
and cottages, the plans being fur
nished to Mr.. Dow by the railroad
company's architect. Mr.. Hill makes
this offer to Mr.. Dow In order to
make all the buildings at Bolton fid
into general design as far as pos
sible. The grounds about the new
hotel will be laid out by a landscape
gardener, and the intention is to
make the hotel equal to the best OF
the railway buildings, and large
enough to accommodate the travel
for years to come.
The administrative buildings fol
the park will probably be near
the new hotel land on the south side
Of the river, near where. the project
ed bridge will cross the Middle Fork
The park officials prefer to have
their headquarters at the entrance
and Mr.. Dow has offered them tract
0f land fhov co1ockod on hoSf for n q
purpose. Mr.. L. w. Hill, OF the
Great Northern, offers to purchase
and present to the government any
land needed in addition to the tract
given by Mr.. Dow. 1t is believed
that this location would be much
more convenient for the park offic-
ials, and also for the public.-Kal-
