ADDITION TO NEW WAUCOMA 40 ROOMS ADDED TO THE HOTEL ExcATatton to Re Started This Week and Building; Rushed to (.'ompletton. Messrs.

The increasing trade of this popular hostelry baa kmude tbie addition nec essary. Tbey are turning away guests nearly every day and tbe growing oity aud valley, together with the large tourist travel, justifies tbe expendi ture ot tbe large addition to tbe hotel building. , The addition will be three stories, which will extend around thebuiidtng on the south and west side, will matoh the design of the present struotuie, aud will give not only mere rooms for guests, but will allow tbe enlargement ot tbe dining room uod the addition of other rooms nec essary to tbe convenience and com forts ot guests.

Buy log- Treubh Editor of U lacier: The purobaae of the prevent water system by tbe oity is unwise, for tba following reaaona: 1. To buy tbe plant would be to purchase Meal Evan' law tult. 2. To buy thi plant would buy tbe uit against the Brsuk-llaven Fruit Co. 3. It tbe present company gave title, it is questionable wbertbei tba title oould stand. At least, tnera would needs be a long suit to deter mine whether this company or tba submerged company oould give title. 4. As there I a mortgage of about $75,000 on tbe light and water plant, even though tbe Portland Trust Co. gave release of tbe water plant, aa against tbe light plant; every holder of the preent bonds would have re course against tbe oity. Flood might weep the dam away. A competing plant might aweep the profit away. there isj a rat-bole In one oomer of tbia mortgage wbioh will bear looking into. i. As the Oorrunoe Smith traot la not under tbe moitgage tbe oity might still have tbe spring to buy. 0. Who want tbia water, anywayT That' tbo very thing Hood :Kiver want to be rid of. 7. Should the court decide in tba pending suit tbat tbe submerged com pauy i tbe true and legal oompany, and declare tbat 127,000 "melon out ting" illegal, tbe oity would bava purchased a bag of wind, No one regrets tbe necessity toi stat- ingj these hints in piint more than I but gentlemen, you can't, you simply must not, foist this tangle off on tbe oity. To those who honestly think we must absorb tbe present plants, these reasons stated witb malice toward one, will prove sufficiently. U. J. Treiber.
