THE PRESIDENT (CONTINUE* FROM PAGE ONE) I Sam’s command to avert war, to have a lot of jingos and a yellow press doing the tilings and saying the tilings that might bring this nation into such a conflict. We are very glad to say to the president that the lid is off and that he may feel free o rid ills system of any old thing that may be lurking therein. We will gladly hear him to the end and will applaud whenever the occasion de- . mands. The meeting at Tomlinson hall for this occasion will be open to the public. There will be no red admission tickets taken at the door, and no matter what your politics, religion or previous condition of servitude may be, you are welcome. So come. It will be a privilege to see and to hear the president, of the United States. Either Governor Ralston or Senator Kern will preside. Bounty council (CONTINUE FROM PAGE ONE) Several ladies appeared before the council to argue for the rest room as petitioned for last fall, but no definite action was taken further than the allowance for plans. It is likely that by another year some steps for an addition to the court house which will provide the rest room as demanded by the ladies from over the county will then be made. The addition is needed badly by the county as several offices are now outside the court house and the rental paid in this way equals the interest on enough money to build the addition, it is argued. o A MODERN HOSTELRY Col. Dick Townsend this morning received a letter from Harry Watcham, an intimate friend and business associate, describing the new hotel which Mr. Watcham is erecting on the exposition grounds at San Francisco. Mr. Watcham was formerly proprietor of the Inside Inn at St. Louis and last May went to San Francisco with- the purpose ih view of erecting another hotel. The new hostelry is located within the exposition grounds occupying a ground space of 450 square feet, is four stories high and contains 1,150 rooms. Every luxury incidental to modern hotel life is provided such as barber shop, drug store, candy shop, express office, news and novelty stand, haberdasher,'florist, printery, laundry, valetoriuni, private dining rooms, ease, grill and rest rooms. A fully equipped postoffice and telegraph office is also located in one of the spacious lobbies. The lobbies are equal in every respect to the LaSalle in Chicago. The exterior is in the style of an Italian Renaissance villa, the outside walls of which are in imitation Travatine stone. The Spanish tiled roof is surmounted by four huge balls of light, six feet in diameter supported by ornamental griffins. The main front has recessed loggias like those of the Chateau Blois in France. The vista shown from the rooms has never before been equaled on the Pacific coast. The hotel will be opened to the public January 15, it requiring only eight months to secure the grounds, draw up the plans, erect the building and arrange all details. o BIG GROCERY SALE.
