F. Parke, formerly of Chicago, has leased the Hotel Idaho. The building is now being re-papered and painted and thoroughly renovated throughout and Mr. Parke hopes to be able to open the house about the first of July if not sooner. From what we know of Mr. Parke and his family we feel safe in saying that under the new management the Hotel Idaho will soon regain the old-time popularity that once made it the best known hostelry on the Short Line.
