THE RICII3IOXI .PALLADIUM AND SV N -TELEGRAM, SUNDAY, MAY 8, 1910. WESTCOTT HOTEL TO BE MODEL OtIE deavoring to hurry their work through so that the carpenters may begin their , work of remodeling the interior of the building. It will require several months, however, to complete the task, owing to the difficulty encountered in carrying on the work while the rooms are occupied and the hotel open to the public Only a limited portion of each day may be devoted to the work of improving the structure. When the hoBtelry Is completed and the improvements all made it will be one of the finest in the state, it is said. No expense . will be spared in making it all that it should be and even the most minute detail will' be given attention. A bath will be installed in every room in the hotel of sufficient size to accommodate one. The woodwork will be thoroughly cleaned and treated to a new coat of varnish. The hardwood floors will be scraped and revamished and several new floors of this nature will be added. The carpenters have already begun the work of tearing down the walls in the cafe and will reconstruct and , equip a thoroughly up-to-date cafe. A telephone will be installed in every room for the use of the guests and a switch board constructed in the lower ; office. A telephone girl will be employed, whose sole duty will be to answer calls and see to it that every guest is given immediate attention and prompt service. New tile flooring will be laid in the lobby and new seats and. chairs purchased. It is very probable also, it is said, that a marble stairway, will be constructed. A new elevator will replace the old one and numerous other ' " improvements will be made. A complete set of new furniture has been ordered for each room and when the work of improving the structure is completed, Richmond will have a hotel that will rival any in the state. FOR GUANO COMPAtlY a time must be exploited in order that not; too many .birds may be frightened away or disturbed. It is estimated that fully 50,000 tons of this valuable fertilizer will be available. tracted wide attention and good many, theories as to -its cause nave been advanced, but so far no definite solution has been found. At one time it was supposed that the large subterranean water channels caused the breathing of these wells and caves; bu; that the presence of oil is more likely to be responsible for this strange freak seems indicated by the fact that the exhalations are slightly explosive when ignited in a confined space. The current caused by the rush, of air In San Antonio, Tex., May 7 Miguel Bornio, who was recently granted a valuable guano concession by the Mexicangovernment, has formed a $100,000 company for the purpose of exploiting his grant A number of Texas capitalists are said to be interested In the venture. By the terms of his concession Bornio is given a monopoly of all the guano found on the islands of Iocina, Pozo. San Andres. Pertlda and Morro, located off the coast of the PUT BLAME Oil OIL Improvements on Building, Now Started, Will Very Greatly Alter It. Turnip Sd. The seed of the tobe turnip i about tbe.tweutietb part of an inch in diameter, and yet in the course of a few months this seed will be enlarged by the soil and the air into 27.000.000 times its, original holU. and this in, addition to a, bunch of leaves. v San Antonio, Tex., May 7. It is now thought that the presence of oil and its tendency to produce natural gas are responsible for the breathing" wells and caves of West Texas. ; For some time this peculiar phenomenon has at and out of the weela and caves la not uniformly strong nor la it subject to regular periodicity, y It is also . inde. pendent-of atmospherical disturbance. Work is being rushed with all possible baste on the Westcott hotel improvements. The .', plumbers are en state of Colima, Mexico.
