Fort Yates Hotel Is
Leased For I Year
]. M. Carignan Has Leased New Stand
ing Rock Hotel for Term of l Year.
jos. Forte Takes Charge

At a meeting held by the direc-
tors of the Fort Yates Hotel Com
pany Tuesday evening, the newly
completed Standing Rock Hotel
was leased for a term OF one year to
]. NJ. Carignan who will place Jo-
seph Forte in charge as manager:
The leaser is to furnish the build
ing throughout and it will be opened
for business as soon as furniture is
installed which will be in a few days.
A few OF the rooms are now fur
nished and kept open for the ac-
commodation of the travelling pub
lie.
1t is not the intention of the ma
nagement to open the dinning room
this winter, but as Fort Yates has a
first-class restaurant this will be no
drawback. Mr.. Carignan did not
lease the building for the purpose
of entering the hotel business, as he
owns fine home and enjoys a
prosperous general mercantile busi-
ness which demands his entire
time. His action is simply pub
lie spirited move to insure for Fort
Yates hetel accommodations that
will reflect credit ON the commu-
nifty.
The Standing Rock Hotel has
been built entirely by funds sub
scribed by the business interests of
Fort Yates, Cannonball and neigh
boring towns, and has been COM
pleted at a cost OF about $4,000. 1t
is the largest and best appointed
hotel in Sioux county, and few
towns much larger than Fort Yates
located on the railroad will have
better accommodations for the
travelling public.
The formal opening Of the hotel
will take place Friday evening,
October 9th, with grand ball, to
which everybody is cordially in
vitcd. The hotel will, however, be
open before this date and accommo-
dations will be provided for all

program was excellent and the
races fine. There were no harness
events, but the running horse races
were worth going miles to see.-

'DRENNEN DECLARES
HIGHWAY MATTER OF
VITAL IMPORTANCE
Birmingham Would Benefit
More From Jackson Route
Than From Two Blast
Furnaces, He Says.

That the people of Birmingham, JEFF
ferson county and the state of Ala
bama do not realize the Importance of
the Jackson highway is the opinion of
w. Melville Drennen, former mayor of
Birmingham, large land owner In
Blount county and one of the leadirg
business men of the state.
"A great national highway running
500 miles through the state of Alabama,
as the Jackson highway does. should
have the hearty, outspoken and en-
of Alabama" he said. THE value of
such a. highway is incalculable. 1t
would be the official as well as the
national route for all automobile tour
lists. 1t would be a trail of gold which
would enrich and prosper the property
contiguous to the highway and would
radiate Throughout the length and
breadth of the state.
Il believe that such a highway pass
ing through Birmingham would be
worth more to the city than two blast
furnaces, and I believe that the propo-
sition is big enough even for our city
commissioners to get busy on. It is
important enough for the governor of
the state, our two United States sena-
tors aad our congressman to work for.
In fact, every citizen of the state who
has the states welfare at interest.
should get busy and get busy now.
And when the members of the COM
mittee which makes the decision meet
in Nashville, 1 believe that Alabama
should have a delegation of 1000 peo-
pie there, headed by the governor II
the state, to present our claims.
Il do not believe, as has been sug-
gested, that this committee will make
it's selection of either the Alabama or
Mississippi route by the present con-
dition of the roadways along the pro-
posed national highway, but will be
guided mainly in its decision by the
ability of the communities along the
two proposed routes to maintain the
highways. This, it strikes me, is the
only sensible way a determination can
be reached"
