supports which are to hold the concrete in place while it hardens. The photograph as taken from the northeast corner of the site and gives an idea of the immense preparatory work while awaiting the arrival of the steel for reinforcing. Three cars of the steel arrived during the week over the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific. President Chandler hopes to have the hotel open by January 1, 1913."
