HOTEL FREDERICK Of GRAND
FORKS To Be ENLARGEDlN
ORDER TO HANDLE BUSINESS
Picture Below Shows Hotel Frederick as it will Ap-
pear When the Sixth Floor and Many Other
improvements are Completed

Hotel Frederick is an example Of
what modern methods will accomplish
and probably shows the most phenom-
email growth and success of any hotel
in the Northwest. Eight years ago,
this hotel was opened by Mr.. Bar
tholomew and named the Frederick,
after his first name. It was then a
hotel Of eighty-five rooms. Four years
later an additional forty rooms were
added and other improvements were
made at a cost Of over $4,000.
Now, another four years have gone
by and the. accommodations at Hotel
Frederick are entirely inadequate.
Therefore, another addition becomes
necessary and already carpenters are
at work widening the halls in the old
part and preparing for the new sixth
story, which will soon be added.
The hotel as it stands today, is
owned solely by Fred Bartholomew.
He has conceived a novel plan to
finance these improvements and one

portant reason why freight rates from
this country were low was that there
was such an imense passenger bust
ness. Liners wanted all the cargo
they could get, but they must sail on
schedule time, and So cargo in some
seasons came almost to command a
premium. The real business, the real
money-making operation of these
great boats, was hauling the people
To get something in their holds to
keep them steady as they crossed the
Grand Banks was the real question.
A large share of American exports
went that way;4 the cabin passengers

securities, but he prefers to place it in
the towns tributary TO Grand Forks.
This means that he will have an active
representative in each town who will
be continually boosting for Hotel
Frederick.
The only stock sold is non assess
able preferred stock which is the same
as a first mortgage on the building,
thus affording a very desirable invest
ment. And a written guarantee Of
not less than six per cent is printed
upon each stock certificate, while the
holder of the same is entitled to as
much more profit as the corporation
can make .Anyone who has been at
the Frederick and seen the enormous
business will realize that the profits
are larger than the guarantee.
This will make Hotel Frederick one
of the finest hotels in the Northwest
and the most ~up-to-date in Grand
Forks. It is Mr.. Bartholomew am
bition not only to have the finest hotel

meant publicly to proclaim that her
grave would never be opened-nexer.
It happened that a little seed was
buried with the princess. a ting acorn.
It sprouted under the covering. Its
tiny shoot. soft and pliable at. first.
found its way through the crevtce be-
tween two of the slabs. And there it
grew slowly but surely, and there it
gathered strength until it burst the
iron clamps asunder and lifted the i'm
mense blocks and turned the whole
structure into an irregular a Of up

Young Hester Harlow was slender
and supple and glowing with a certain
rich dark beauty that had been her

A pang struck Lucy to the heart II

she might have walked with a young
daughter instead Of spending her years
in loneliness.
Mrs. Jones said:
