A deal was consummated yester- day whereby Matt Mayer and wife will assume the management of the new Merchants hotel, which was conducted for several months past by H. P. Burroughs, under the name of the Hotel Burroughs. Mr. and Mrs. Mayer will take immediate | possession, and expect to open the place to the public next Monday morning, Mr. Burroughs having given up possession of the hotel. Since Mr. Burroughs left the hotel there have been several local parties after the property, together with people from Anoka, West Superior, Crookston and elsewhere. Mr. and Mrs. Mayer have pur- chased the furniture and fixtures in the hotel, which were controlled by Boutelle Bros. of Minneapolis, and have also bought furniture and fixtures for that portion of the hotel which has not been furnished. There are sixty-five sleeping rooms in the hotel, twenty of which were not furnished, but will be supplied at once. The merchants is one of the very best hotel buildings in the north half of the state, being of solid brick, and completed in the very best modern manner,and as Mr., and Mrs. Mayer have lived in Bemidji for the past eleven years, they will undoubtedly make a success of con- ducting the hotel.

August Thorell, charged with larceny in the second degree, was found guilty, and Judge Stanton sentenced Thorell to serve three years in the state prison at Stillwater.

Mr. Hill wrote of Spo- kane as easily the- first city, archi- | tecturally, in the United States, ad- ding that the country surrounding it isa rich empire in itself. ‘“There are at least five residences in Spokne,” he added, “which would grace River- side drive in New York, and there are restaurants better than anything in Chicago. I consider its social advantages equal to the city of Minneapolis, and you know I spent 40 years there.” These words are contained in other parts of Mr. Hill’s letter: “This is the country of the future as well as the present.
