BE FINISHED THIS SUMMER

SPOKANE, Wash, May 26.-"The
completion of the s2,500,000 Daven-
port hotel in Spokane early this sum-
mer will give the Inland Empire a
hotel that will compare favorably with
the best in the United States and that
will attract to this region thousands OF
ourists who otherwise never would be-
come familiar with the agricultural
mining, timber and other resources OF
this section" states Clarence A.
Chase, prominent Chicago hotel
man who recently became associated
with the management of the Daven-
port. II am amazed at the manner
in which everything is being done to
make this something more than ho-
tel in the commercial sense of the
word-to make it an elegant home
he says. 'It will be wonderful as
set to the entire Inland Empire, for
1t will attract men of money to this
section, and such men are always or
the lookout for good investments
Therefore am convinced such a no
tel will have great influence in the
development of all the rich natura
resources for which the Inland EN-
! pire is famous

NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE

Ontario Wool Operations = ]. NJ.
Johnson, the well known wool buyer
and Jeff Billingsley of ontario, We're
in this city the fore part of the week
and as result something over 800 :
coo pounds of wool was contracted az
prices in advance of last year, the
price being in the neighborhood of
16 cents says the Burns Times-Her-
aid. This Is considered very good
price and equal to at least cent
more than on the main line of the
railroad as It is to be delivered at
Juntura.
Some of the wool men of this Sec
ton refused to contract and will take
their product out later and take a
chance on higher price. This has
always been the case, as growers in
this section cannot keep in close
touch with the markets and are moi
always sure they are receiving the
best offers.
