 Rooms Are We'll Furnished
 Minute details has been paid 10 the furnishing of the l25 rooms in the new hOstelry to the end that the com fort of the guests in their rooms as well as in the parlOrS of the hotel may be assured. As an example of the care with which the rooms have been pre- pared may be noted the small grip stands-tiny tagle affairs with rack tops on which guests may place their bags when they are preparing to make themselves at home in their tempor- ary lodging. Beside the comfort which these carefully chosen details give, they are a saving to the hotel in that they protect other furniture from wear and tear In the usual instance a guest throws his suit case onto the dresser. The result is a series of scratches. The grip stands will save this marring of the rooms larger furnishings.
 Hot and cold water is furnished guests in every room in the house. Stationary wash bowls have been in stalled in each room. Above each of these stands is a small mirror. Be- low the mirror is a shaving shelf. where dressing materials combs, brushes toilet articles, shaving ma terials, and other small articles may be kept handy to the mirror and wash stand. In each room in the building is a closet. large and ample in room lab Ic
 More than three quarters of the furnishings in the rooms is new. This applies to the bedsteads, the carpets, rugs, mattresses, bedding, chairs, stands, racks and other room mater ials. While a large portion of such necessary materials of the old build ing were saved from the fire much of 1t was water stained or smoked. This was all disposed of, and only the prac- tically new materials were saved.
 The bedsteads are of heavy iron and steel materials except in several of the higher priced rooms where heavy. expensive and massive old fashioned wooden bedsteads blend with the remainder of the furniture and the wall finishings Such a room is the bridal suite, finished in old ivory as to walls and furniture, and
  each room, however, an attempt has been made to make furniture and fin ish blend.
 Walls on the first floor in the hall are of old tapestry pattern On the upper floors similar but more unique pattern has been chosen for the hall finishing In the rooms three styles of finish have been chosen. Cream color. natural wood and mahogany have been selected here and vary throughout the house. The furniture is chiefly birds-eye maple or maho- gany in finish. The bedsteads are finished to match the furniture and are chiefly of brass, iron or steel. Mattresses are the best grade as are the springs. The carpets are thick and smooth. About one-half of the rooms are paperd. The remainder are tinted.
 Building Is Steam Heated
 Steam heat has been added to the buildings equipment. In the old ho- tel all rooms were heated through the use of either wood or gas stoves Now each room is supplied with steam radiator and heat for the whole build ing is generated through central system located in the basement The heating system as well as the plumb ing system was installed by the Phoe- nix Heating S Plumbing company.
 In the basement at the rear of the building is the boiler room which sup plies the heat for the building. Here a large oil burning boiler is installed, Tn the winter the boiler heats the water for the radiators and for the hot water system in baths and hy- drants. In the summer when the general heating system is not in operation an auxiliary boiler known as a summer heater supplies the hot water for the general house system. Oil for the burners has been con- tracted from the Phoenix Wood and
