An Astorian reporter Interviewed Mr. UlpHiriger, prior to hi departure on the 0:10 train, and learned from him some Interesting fact concerning the con st ruction of the building.- "Your city has a great future," ssid he, "snd our Investment Is warranted. Wis do not propose- to erect a cheap, flimsy building, but a substantial, mod ern edifice. The start of the work, the foundation, which I considered by archi tect and engineers, the principal fac tor, gives an idea of what is going to lie placed upon It. Our architects are work ing on the plans for the superstructure, and axe well along with them. They ara designing a strictly up-to-date build ing, and, when it is completed, Astoria will have as modern a hotel as any city on the Pacific Coast. Contracts will be let without delay for the other por tion of the work, and we nope to have tlie building under roof by September. Today I awarded the contract for the filling for the bacment to a local firm, llildchrand & Ording, and we will have the licneflt of later rains to thoroughly mttle the ground, before placing the concrete floor on it. The many people who will visit Astoria, during the com ing lummer, will ace the walls of a Iwautifiil building going up. and, before the fall rains commence, the building will have so far progressed thst the work csn continue without interruption. This hotel will be dedicated to Atoria, as we are interested in its future, and all we ask Is the good mill of your eiUsuM. V v When assured that there Is little doubt of gaining that, he answered, "I believe it from tha character of the men I have met, and their treatment of me, and I ensure the people of Astoria that we will do our beet to retain that good will, I will return in the near future, and any information I can give you re girding the building, and ita erection, will be cheerfully furniahed." Mr. We singer was accompanied to the train by quite a delegation of business men. WANT CAR LINE EXTENDED. Petition of loo Residents of Alderbrook For Extension to City Limits.
