Site
The site Of the proposed new hotel is the block Of
ground bounded by Fourth and Fifth Avenues and
University and Seneca Streets, with the exception
Of that portion now leased to the Metropolitan
Theatre Company, and occupied by the Metro
politan Theatre The Metropolitan Building Com
pany holds lease on this ground that expires on
the LIST day of November 1854. They have sub
leased the land above described to the COM
MUNITY HOTEL CORPORATION for the full
period Of their lease. The Hotel Committee appoint
ed to secure hotel propositions have advised with
the leading hotel men and they have been informed
that this site is ideal one for the location Of a
large hotel Mr. Roy Can,ithers, managing director
upon recent visit to Seattle informed the Hotel
Committee that this site the most advantageous
one for the erection Of large hotel.
Many Of the large hotels in the country built
leased ground including such well known hotels as
the McAlpin, Vanderbilt, Commodore and Bitmore
Hotels of New York City, and the La Sale Sherman,
Morrison, Fort Dearborn and Blackstone Hotels of
Chicago, and including the Alexandria Hotel of
Los Angeles

erty and is exempt from taxation except that the
State has right to tax the of the property This
tax the right to use the property is considerably
less than the normal tax on buildings and property

of Directors and it will necessarily be governed
somewhat by the amount of stock and bonds sold.

The peculiar location Of Seattle renders it unques-
tonaby the desirable Convention City Of the Pacific
Northwest Tourist travel is yet in its infancy and
with the many natural advantages which Seattle en-
joys, the city should become mecca for visitors.
Every business and industrial enterprise in the city
will benefit by the building Of this much-needed new
hotel-all for bigger, greater Seattle.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1922-06-29

It Is the opinion Of hotel experts who have made
q careful study Of the Seattle situation that our city
needs new and modern hotel of approximately six
hundred rooms. Careful preliminary estimates
would indicate that such structure be built for
approximately $2,700,000.00.
Lease Contract
The COMMUNITY HOTEL CORPORATION
agrees to pay the METROPOLITAN BUILDING
COMPANY from the time 1t takes possession Of the
site until the expiration Of the lease November l,
1854, the sum of $25, 100000 per annum, and In adj
dition to pay the METROPOLITAN BUILDING
COMPANY the unamortized portion Of the improve
ments put upon the block, amounting to $75,00000.
Operation of the Hotel
There will be two methods open to the Hotel Com
pany, namely to form an operating company to OPP
crate the hotel to lease Il TO operating
pany already formed or hereafter to be formed.
Two leading hotel companies and at least one very
prominent hotel operator have intimated that they
would be interested in leasing the hotel property
basis that will pay the interest and sinking fund
charge the bonds, and something in addition for
the stockholders The matter of making final ar
rangements for the operation Of the hotel will be de-
termined by the Board of Directors.

Value of Bonds

The purchase of these bonds should appeal to the
citizens Of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest because
of the fact that the bonds will be first mortgage
the easehod on well planned and centrally located
building in a rapidly growing city.
The sinking fund, as compared with most hotel en-
terprises, while extremely moderate is sufficient to
retire the entire investment within the life of the
bonds namely twenty-five years. The earnings of
modern hotels justify the belief that the investor
should receive not only the To returns the bonds,
but dividend on his stock
This hotel will be great advantage to the COM
munity and in addition to the financial benefits re-
ceived, the citizens will receive great indirect bene.
fits by reason of the building Of this hotel.

100000 FRUIT
CANNING PLANT
NE VI INDUSTRY.
NEAR CHANDLER.

Chandler and the Salt River Valley
may boast of having one of the most
modern and up to date canning fac
tories in the entire United States.
The rlant is located one-half mile
south of Chandler and is owned and
operated by George F. and w. j..
lewis. 1t is known as the Lewis
ranch, Incorporated, The brand of
products manufactured is known as
the Lewis Homemade Products.
George F. and w. J. Lewis came
to Chandler in 1914 and purchased an
80-acre tract of land south of town
for the purpose OF carrying on ex-
tensive experiments in the canning
and preserving of fruits. Much care
and thought was exercised in laying
out the farm and plant with the idea
OF giving service to other growers OF
fruit so that an extensive industry
might be developed in the entire val
ley. In order to make a beginning
and to be assured of having fruit
when the industry was developed,
they planted q number of fruit trees.
At the present time they have bear
ing in season 5000 peach trees, 1000
apricot trees, ESQ olive trees, 1000
blackberry bushes, 40 ounce trees
and 200 Black Mission fig trees. In
addition to raising these fruits, they
purchase plums, strawberries, logan
berries, peanuts oranges and honey,
all Of which are used extensively in
making up their products. Mr.. Lewis
stated that he hoped that his plant

within the structure and in the sur
rounding ruins.
And Arizona is not lacking in pas
toral beauty, for the Salt River vail
ley farming lands are green the year
around. The fields of green growing
products are bordered by massive
cottowoods, willows, palms and
ash trees, and the autumn colors of
the varied trees is startling. The
many large olive, orange, lemon and
grapefruit trees are green all tie
time, lending freshness to the valley
and preventing there ever being a
season which is drab and sere.
Wherever is found a fence post in
any other country, in the Salt River
valley there is tree. So fertile is
the soil and so willing the cottonwood
that when fence posts Of this material
are made from four inch sections of
young trees, they take root and put
out green leaves. In the course of
years they are perfectly formed trees
30 feet in height. This is the ex-
planation for the multitudinous rows
of trees which border every field in
the farming country.

viii serve as an incentive to fruit
raisers and that he will be more than
glad to give the benefit of his ex-
perience to all growers so that they
may be able to reap good profits from
their labors.
irrigated BY Pipes
The trees and bushes are neatly and
accurately arranged and water is
piped all over the ranch in S-inch
concrste pipes so arranged that each
and every row of trees has a pipe to
furnish water. This does away with
open citches and water may be easily
and quickly directed to any part of
the ranch at any time, thus getting
maximum efficiency. Aside from the
water that is furnished from the
Water Users. the ranch has its own
pumping plant which furnishes irri-
cation water. water for the cannery
and for domestic supply. Three
pumps are arranged so that a COM
plete plant is available and furnishes
LOO gallons a minute. In order to
have plenty Of water available at all
times a huge cement storage tank
has been constructed.
The first canning that the factory
did was in July, 1917, and was car
ried on in a room 20 feet square. Dur
ing a run of As days a total of 1900
jars of fruit was turned out At that
time the equipment was very meager,
with an oil stove for cooking and all
the rest of the work being done by
hand. Today the plant is one of the
most modern in the country, being
constructed of tile with all the latest
a.. =. t. hi
vices for labor saving. A good COM
parison would be that of the first
years work compared with today. In
As days in 1917 the total output was
1900 Jars of fruit, whereas today in
an eight hour shift the output is
about 6c00 jars. The cannery proper
occupies about 5000 square feet of
floor space and in addition to this
there are warehouses for holding the
jars and caps, these coming in car
load lots. The warehouse at the fin
ishing end of the plant is capable of
holding several carloads of the pack
ed fruit ready for shipment.
Modern Cannery
The cannery is one Of the most
modern in the whole country and
time and expense has not been spared
10 give IL the pest equipment OBJ
tainable. The fruit when brought
in to be prepared for canning is only
touched once by hand in the whole
process from the time it starts as the
ripe fruit until it appears as jam
ready for shipping. The fruit is pit
ted by land and then thrown into the
lye peeler. where the skin is taken
off. 1t passes from the peeler by
gravity to washing machine that is
composed of six rotating drums that
thoroughly wash the fruit 1t then
passes to a special machine that is
known as a pulper and this with its
intricate machinery prepares the fruit
into what is known as jam stock.
From the pulper the fruit is con-
veyed ty aid Of pump and specially
lined pipes to series of copper ket-
ties where it is cooked to a tempera-
ture of 215 degrees and to a vacuum
cooker at 140 degrees under 26-inch
vacuum. Through specially con-
structed pipes the fruit goes from
the cooker to filling machine, from
the filling machine to the capper, then
through a hot water chamber and a
dry steam chamber where the bot
