Manager J F Douglas says the move makes hotel living cheaper than keeping house and meets the demand during the mining congress lull.

Officials Admit Robbery of Nevada Judge in Rate Hearings
During Salt Lake City railroad rate hearings, Southern Pacific officials admitted damaging facts that may aid Nevada in securing fair rates for Reno. They argued low interior rates and water competition justify high seaboard charges. Judge Bartine pressed Eapse to admit Reno’s freight cost irregularities across mountains. An Espee official acknowledged water lines are owned by Southern Pacific. If arguments fail, SP likely loses. The Salt Lake session exposed a “public be damned” stance by transport firms.
