was the home of the Spragues. the
Walter Turrells, the Snowdens, the
Grosscups, the Bentons' and the
Mottets. II also was the home
at various times Of prominent
churchmcn. including Bishop kea-
tor and Bishop Wells.
II was the home of f. G. Bogue,
chief engineer for the Union Pa
cific when that railroad WAS head
ing for a terminus at Tacoma or
Steilacoom 46 years ago.
George Stevenson, whose career
as lobbyist In the state legisla-

of men and measures, also made
his home there. Though he han
died thousands of dollars for 9TH
ers when the only way to get
special legislation was to go in
the market and buy 1t, he died q
poor man.
Another colorful character
residing there when II was the
Rochester was ii. Cranston
Potter. nephew Of Bishop Pot
ter, nationally known cleric.
He spoke with n broad English
infection. He was Tacomn's
Beau Brummel and rated one
of the hest dressers ON the
Pacific coast. He was ex-
tremely courteous and was the
clty's most liberal patron Of
the cabs.
He was English in his ideas as
well as speech, and when he came
into sum of money built a home
modelled after an old English
manor house. The building, now
an apartment, still stands oppo-
site the state historical building.
As the Rochester hotel, the Bon
neville was the scene of many gay
parties when ladies and gentlemen
in full evening attire thronged its
public rooms and corridors. Be-
fore the towers were removed, the
Rochester was the place where inn
portant visitors to Tacoma were
brought for view Of the water
front and the city. Bankers, rail-
road men, real estate promoters
and lumbermen brought their
prospects to the Rochester to show
them the wonders Of the world.
Even with Its face-lifting, the
bonneville still retains the dignity
and a traditional air Of refinement
of the old days, There is about
1t something that makes one think
of the days when ladies and gen.
tlemen were mindful of the ameni-
ties and courtesies which distin-
guished the horse and buggy

Briqhfens Bonneville
But Old Character and
Tradition Remain

ONE of the first signs Of pro-
gress noted after being q shut
In for several weeks was the re-
freshing face-iifting job on the old
Bonneville hotel. With the excep-
ton of the towers which were re-
moved when the building was dam
aged by fire. the exterior had re-
manned as II was when the build
ing was constructed more than 80
years ago. But things began to
happen when Norton Clapp pur-
chased the old landmark. To
change the drab exterior to a
bright cream color with light blue
trimmings may have been a bit
revolutionary in the eyes of some
of the old-timers, but II shows
that the world does move and how
far one paint job goes in bright
ening an entire neghborhood.

Shortly after the turn of the CEN

Bonneville dam was named.

together, fixing the fee at $500.
George w. Brown, F. L., Pet

that the fee was to remain the
same and that the price had been
advanced illegally.

AS their licenses expired Sat-

action. After the document was
presented, it was found to bear
the names of the saloon-keepers
and exactly three other residents
here. The council adjourned.
Shortly before noon Wednes-
day, four of the saloon owners
presented their $500 fees to T. G..

their drink parlors again. But

Early Tourists" Were
Leaving Civilization

Redwood Falls was for some
years an outpost of civilization.
Settlers who ventured farther up
the valley were without military
protection, this their last contact
with the outside world. One of
these was Ole K. Orion, for
whom the city of Ortonville was
named. He came through here
from Fillmore county soon after
the first settlement and stopped
here several days to get supplies
and rest. With him were his
wife, three sons and two daugh-
tiers. E. B. Orion of Redwood
Falls is a grandson.
