STEWART, B.C., April 23, 1920 With the announcementby the G.T.P. that the big steamer, Prince George, has been placed on the run to Stewart, comes great activity in the building line. If the crowds of newcomers are to be properly taken care of a lot more sleeping accommodation will be necessary. Work now nearing completion will add accommodations for more than a hundred. This work was further delayed by the accident to the Prince John which nearly ruined big consignments of beds, bedding, etc. The appearance of these goods after their briny bath was enough to discourage anyone faint hearted. But not so the people of Stewart. Parts of the town now resemble big laundry .yards for the salt chuck is evaporating from bedding which seems to hang everywhere and the hot sun is making soaked mattresses fairly steam. The furniture is being repaired as well as possible. General regret is expressed I that the old Empress hotel has not been reopened. This place has some eighty rooms and is in better condition I than it will be if it goes un sed through another winter. Several deals for its purchase have fallen through and the price continues to go up. Several schemes for large '*bunkhouses" are receiving consideration. WATEB NOTICE.
