as soon, as the plans can be completed.
On one of the floors in the new part,
the rooms will be en- suite, with sam
pie rooms in connection.
The second story of the present
building has just been remodeled at
cost of $4,000. All of the rooms are
now strictly modern. They are all

best of mahogany furniture. Each
room has it's individual bath, the fix
lures alone costing 5000 for each bath.
The cost of the furniture in each room
averages 5000. The rugs cost $50
each. In each room is writing table
with electric light on table and an
electric reading light at each bed. In
each bathroom the mirror is provided
with an electric light at either side.
The improvements provide new par
lor 2Ox45 feet and a large writing
room. Nothing has been overlooked
that might add comfort to the guests.
