Show THE HOTEL BARONS. SOME hotel proprietors in Salt Lako were brought Up on the narrow-gauge narrow-gauge line and haven't gotte" jut of the habit of seeing only alon the grooves. Under ordinary conditions Utah may be proud of her capital city's hotels, ho-tels, but when a crowd comes to town for a convention or for some other purpose, the accommodations are so far from being ample that the pride felt over one hotel is dissipated by the chagrin at the spectacle of good people peo-ple being compelled to seek slumber in places that are on the visiting list of the police. The board of governors of the Commercial Com-mercial club stirred the bonifaces by Indorsing tho Newhouse hotel project and urging members of the club to subscribe stock in the scheme and help complete the structure, thus doing do-ing away with the conspicuous skeleton skele-ton an advertisement that does much harm to the city. Two traveling men met back east and among othei cities they discussed Salt Lake, which both, at different times, had recently visited. "They have a great hotel there," said one. "Up there at the head of Main street,, overlooking the city it's a beautiful thing." "Yes, it is," said the other. "But I never cared much for a one-hotel town. They started another out there, but they left Its ribs sticking Into the sky, and that's the end of It.-I It.-I hope by the time I get around that way again the other hptel will be completed, for I hate a town where there'3 only one place to stop." That may be rather an advanced view of the situation, but the Commercial Commer-cial club has a perfect right to urge Its members to aid in the completion of the Newhouse hotel and it comes with bad grace for anyone connected connect-ed with the Hotel Utah to make complaint. com-plaint. Let's complete the Newhouse hotel and then build some more. |
