Monday the Fowler Hotel, (the old Summit House) an old landmark of the town, closed its doors and we are without a commercial hotel of any kind. Mr. Smith, the proprietor, was compelled to make this move on account of the heating rates charged by the Public Service company. He states that the present rates are prohibitory and unless a reduction is made, the doors >. the hotel will remain closed as far as he is concerned. —Benton Review.
