Thomas Kilpatrlck, of Montana, took
charge of the Capital hotel Friday, not
especially because it was Friday and he
wanted to demonstrate the falacy of the
ancient superstition regarding the day, but
because it was the fifteenth of December,
and that was the time named In the lease
for him to assume control of the house.
Mrs. Tedrowe has made liberal concess
ions for repairs, and many changes and
improvements will be made. The most
notable will be the enlargement of the
lobby, rearrangement of the parlor and
putting In a lavatory with modern ap
pointments, hot and cold water and mar
ble top stands. Mr. Kilpatrlck has had
an extensive experience in the hotel busi
ness, at one time In Los Angeles, and will
undoubtedly make this one of the most
popular hostelrles in eastern Oregon.
For fourteen years lie was in the passen
ger service of the Northern Pacific, but for
the past fouror five years has been engaged
in mining. Mr. and Mrs. Tedrowe retire
from the management of the hotel with '
the kind regards and good wWies of all, '
patrons and the public at large. '
Mine Host Robinson, of the Star. i
V. M. Robinson assumed the manage- j
ment of the Star hotel Saturday and will '
conuuee 11 in uuure. He is a hotel man of
long and successful experience. For some
years past lie has had charge of the Elec
tric Hotel, at Oregon City. Mrs. Robin
son will superintend operations in the
kitchen and a special effort will be made
to set the best table in town, with a view
to securing families and business men as
day boarders, to whom special rates
will be given. J. G. Council, who
owns the Star and has run it for sev
eral years, will remain In Sumpter,and as '
soon as the weather will permit, will begin
to build a splendid new brick hotel at the
head of Center street, on the property
which he recently purchased from Mayor
Gleason, a full account of which was pub
lished in TlIK MINER at the time.
Bum Brick and Build Blocks.
David Wilson, the gentleman who is
under contract to erect 250 feet of brick
blocks south of the railroad track, fifty
feet of which are about finished, was in
Sumpter last week. He says that he will
begin the manufacture of brick here next
spring, just as soon as the weather and
the ground will permit, putting in the lat
est and most Improved machine, that will
turn out 20,000 brick a day. Sumpter
needs an institution of this kind even
more than it does railroad facilities and an
express service. Mr. Wilson says that
he expects to open Hotel Sumpter Septem
ber 1, 1000, and that it will be a house
such as 110 one can afford not to patronize,
his idea being to group there many lines
of business. The hotel will be second to
none in the state, save Hotel' Portland, in
point of convenience and elegance.
And Now Come the Plumber.
H. Orchard, a plumbing contractor of
twenty years' experience, has secured the
contract with the Water company to tap
and make all the necessary connections
with their mains as soon as the water is
turned on and the public begins to use
same. His son, H. R. Orchard, will also
establish acomplete general plumbing and
pipe fitting establishment here and, with a
force of competent plumbers be fixed to
contract or make repairs in this line at
short notice, having a full stock of pipe
fittings, coupling, tubes, etc., which will
arrive in a few days. Until the new shop
is ready, these gentlemen can be found at
their home, one door west of Tom Mc
Ewen's residence, on North street.
