GLACIER PARK HOTEL COMPANY

Mr. L. W. Hill,

President.

Dear Sir:

St. Paul, Minn., February 3, 1928.

Returning my letter of December 16, 1927, and

accompanying fire inspection report made of property owned

by the Glacier Park Hotel Company and the Canadian Rockies

Hotel Company, Limited:

I will try to answer the. notations that you have

made on the attached report:

WHO WAS REPORT MADE FOR? - This report was made . by BlL inspect­or representing the W. C. Kenney Agency and Alexander &: Alexander, Inc., insurance brokers, tor the Glacier Park Hotel Company and the Canadian Rookies Hotel Company, Limited. fhe 1ntormation is not furnished to the insurance company.

HOTELS IlAI CONSTRUCTED OF LOGS - This is an error and in-specto should have said, "Hotels are ot frame constructionu •

HEAT IN B LDINGS - You question the removal of wood stoves in buil ngs.

The wood stoves in use during the winter and before the opening of the season, are in the following buildings:

Glacier Park · - Camp No~ :? 1 - General Office 1 - General Storekeeper's office 1 - Cottage No. 3 - occupied by Caretaker

.Mr. L. W. Hill

BEAT IN BUILDINGS - Continued.

st. Mary's Camp No.4 I - Old dining room and kitchen

ManY Glacier - Camp No.8 I - Chalet No. 8 occupied by caretaker

These stoves are well protected and are the only means at furnishing heat during the closed season without installing furnaces which does not seem necessary for so short a time as heat is necessary.

FRAME GARAGES - GLACIER PARK CAllP NO.1 - These garages are not protected by fire ~dradts. The closest ~drant is at the new laundry and power house which is 'approximately one thousand feet from the garages.

It is recommended on Page No. 6 that three fire hydrants with 2fn - two way connections be installed - one at a point 75' north of repair building and 75' east of car storage building, one at a pOint 75' south of repair building and across the road, and another at a point 75 1 west ot car , storage building. Each hldrant should be provided with hose house containing 150' - 2tn C.R.L. hose.

I think it is verT important that this recommendation be carried out as we are depending entirelY upon the busses far the handling of our tourist business into the park.

Mr. H. A. Noble has an engineer at Glacier Park who would be able to do this work without much cost to the company and probablY we could make arrangements to have the 'transportation company assume part of the cost as it would be the means ot providing protection for their own busses.

In addition to the outside protection it is recommended that the transportation company be asked to furnish the following inside protection:

8 - 2i gal.

3 - 2i gal.

3 - 2i gal. 3 22 gal.

Foamite extinguishers on the first floor or the repair garage

Soda and acid extinguishers on the second floor of repair garage

Foamite extinguishers) To be installed in Soda and acid n ) storage garage.

Mr. L. W. Hill - 3

EXTINGUISHERS FREEZING - All of our extinguishers are emptied Just before the-cold weather sets in exoept a supplT which is available for use by the caretaker for emergency purposes, and kept in the refrigerator in the old grill room kitchen.

NO EXTINGUISHERS - BASEMENT BOXEL ANNEX - The following recommendations have been made on Page No. 6 for the in­stallation of extinguishers in the basement.

Mr. H. A. Noble will arrange to take oare ot this. __ ._ 1 - 2i gal. Foamite extinguisher in paint room. -6 - 2i gal. Soda and aoid extinguishers in storage section.

NO SMOKING SIGNS - Mr. H. A. Noble is making a reqUisition for a supply of these signs to be posted where necessary.

CLEANING UP STORAGE SECTION - BASEMENT HOTEL ANNEX - CAMP NO.1 Mr. H. A. Noble will arrange to have this done.

FIVE GALLON CAN GASOLINE - CHALET - CAMP NO.1 - Arrangements have been made for storage ot gasoline outside of the building •

EMPLOYES SMOKING IN DORMITORIES - This matter bas been called to Mr. Noble's attention.

MANY GLACIER - CAMP NO. 8 - WATCHMAN'S SERVICE - The two men at Many Glacier are not required for watchmen servioe but are needed to protect the property trom snow and ice.

FIRE BRIGADE - Drills .il1 be held and employes instructed as to their respective duties.

FRANKLIN WOOD STOVES - Mr. H. A. Noble will arrange to remove these stove.s.

ADDITIONAL FIRE LADDERS - MANY GLACIER HOTEL - Additional fire ladders will be provided where necessary by Mr. Noble.

FIREPLACE IN LOBBY OF MANY GLACIER HOTEL - The open tire place in the grill room is never used as it would make it too warm for the guests who are danoing. The fire place along the wall is suffioient to oomfortably heat the grill room.

It would be ~- recommendation that the open fire

Mr. L. W. Hil.! -

FIREPLACE IN LOBBY OF MANY GLACIER HOTEL - (Continued) place be removed and this will open up additional spaoe in the grill.

LINING FUSE BOXES IN HOTELS AND ANNEX - OAMP NO. 1 WITH ASBESTOS Mr. Noble will take care of this recommendation.

, , ~ b~ <

BOILER ROOM AND LAUNDRY BASEMENT - HOTEL -OAMP ClNO. 8 - It is my recommendation that Mr. Noble1be asked to submit an A~F~E. ( tar the construction ot a separate building. The laundry was found to be very congested and as clothes cleaning is also done it creates a serious hazard which might re- \ sult in the loss of the entire hotel. I think this is one of the worst conditions we have in the hotel at Many . Glacier.

FIVE GALLON CAN GASOLINE tEED IN LAUNDRY - CA)(P NO.8 - This has been removed and is being kept outside of the building.

USE OF ELECTRIC PRESSING IRONS ~ DQRKITOBX - CAMP NO.8 - This ~ ma tter has been called to. Noble , s attention. We have t9(;L" no laundry room where this work could be done by the employes. ~

EMPLOYES SLEEPING QUARTERS - CAMP NO.4 - This building bas been cleaned up and rubbish removed. ·

FIRE BRIGADE - PRINCE OF WALES HOTEL - Fire drills were started immediately after the inspection of the properties had been made and were continued throughout the season.

USE OF ELECTRIC PRESSING IRONS IN HOTEL (PRINCE OF WALE§) - This matter has been called to Mr. Noble's attention.

STORING OF PAINTS AND MATERIALS UNDER VARIOUS BUILDINGS GOING-TQ-SUN CAMP NO.5 - There is no building available for the

storage of this material. I recommend that Mr. Noble be asked to prepare an A.F.E.

providing for the construction of a building to take care of this materia.!.

YSE OF ELECTRIC PRESSING IRONS IN EMPLOIES ROOMS- GOING-TO-SPN CAMP NO.5 - This matter has been called to Mr. Noble's

attention.

Mr. L. W. Bill - 5

REMOVAL OF AJ.J. PAPERS, RUBBISH AND FOODSTUFFS AFTER CLOBE OF SEASON - This bas always been done.

REMOVAL OF MOPS, MATCHES. FLOOR WAXING APPARATUS AND POLISHING MATERIALS FROM VALUABLE PROPERTIES

This is being done.

CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHERS REMOVED TO WATCHMAN'S QUARTERS - A supply of extinguishers is always kept ready for emergenoy use during the winter months.

CUT ELECTRIC CURRENT OUT OF ALL BUILDINGS - All our rent is out off from buildings o1osed up for the winter.

USE OF LANTERNS BY WATCHMAN - Our watohman when in buildings uses only a flash light.

The Insuranoe Bureau is keeping in close touch with

this matter and all items requiring attention will be followed

through to a definite conclusion.

1. My dear Mr. Hill :

In the sumner of 1911 when Mrs . Vincent and

the Taft party made their trip through Glacier Park , some

moving pictures were taken of the Indians and their white

visitors . The camera man promised Mrs. Vincent that she

should have a copy of the film . At various times she has

endeavored to borrow it , unsuccessfully, owing to its be-

ing el s 6'N"here .

As our youngest daughter figured prominently in

the picture , we should be very glad indeed if it were possible

to have a copy.

Would it be asking too much of you to have the

film looked up and sent to us for reproduction? I should

appreciate it deeply .

I remember \nth pleasure my trip out to the park

with you that same swnmer , and we speak often of our enjoy-

nble years in Minnesota .

V{ith best vlishes ,

Re: Glacier Park , Mont. - Golf Course .

Lear Sir:

Referring to your letter of ]j'ebruary 8th, file 11634, in which you ask for a report on what has been accomplished in regard to acquisition of property for golf course property at Glacier Park:

I enclose herewi th two bluelJrints showing:

(a) In full red color, property that has been pur­chased and is now owned by the Glacier Park Hotel Company at Glacier Park ;

(b~' green , the McGee property ;

(c) In orange, the Lutz property ;

(d) In yellow, Clark property;

(e)#In green , She rburne property ; #Outlined in green .

(f) Cross-hatched in red, Dunham property.

A complete report as to demands and estimated cost of this property was made to you under date of September 3rd. On September 23rd , you instructed us to proceed with the pur ­chase of the McGee and Dunham property. The McGee property , namely , It)t 14, block 11, ha.s been purchased and title thereto is now in the Glacier Park Hotel Company. The Dunham property we have not purchased.

/ This property comprises lots 8, 9 , 10 and 11, block 15,

rand the unplatted land adjoining it on the southerly side thereof will be deeded over as soon as Mr. Dunham 'S family troubles have been adjusted .

l.!r. Duhham has agreed to convey the same to us subject to dower interest of his wife for $500. We estimate that this property will cost us about $800. There is no reason why possession cannot be taken of the same at any time.

-. ..

As to the other property, we were instructed to hold off and nothing further has been done in respect to the purcha.se thereof. It is our understanding that under present plans additional property for the golf course will not be necessary.

If there is anything further you want us to do in the way of purchase , ple~se advise, and oblige

Yours truly,

My dear Mr. Hill:

In the summer of 1911 when Mrs. Vincent and the

Taft party made their trip throug~Glacier Park, some moving

pic~re8 were talcen of ..... the Indians and their white vis i tors.

The camera man promised Mrs. Vincent that she should have a copy

of the ' film. At various times she has endeavored to borrow it,

unsuccessfully, owing to it. being elsewhere.

As our youngest daughter figured prominently in

the picture, we should be very glad indeed it it were possible to

have a copy. • Would it be asking too much of you to have the

film looked up and sent to us tor repreduction? I should appre-

ciate it deeply.

I I remember with pleasure my trip out to the park

with you that same summer, and we speak often ~f our enjoyable

years in innesota.
