Windows and doors are sliding. A cupola roof raised about 3 feet 

 above the main roof gives room for ventilating transoms. The main 

 roof is shingled, and the cupola roof is covered with corrugated 

 roofing. 



The kitchen is modern in every respect. Many hotels do not have 

 the modern cooking equipment which is to be found in it. It has 

 a triple range with hood, two double-deck, zinc-covered serving 

 tables on casters, built-in drawers and bins, a raising closet, hot-water 

 tank, etc. Coal is used for fuel. 



Two of the cars are used for diners, one at each end of the kitchen 

 car. This arrangement simplifies the handling of food. Tliese 

 cars have a seating capacity of 175, with sleeping accommodations 

 for the cookhouse crew in the end of one. Heavy crockery dishes 

 are used because they are easy to clean and have no enameled surface 

 to chip off into the food. 



A car stationed immediately opposite the cookhouse and connected 

 by means of a bridge is used for a warehouse and meat shop. This 

 arrangement places the supplies needed in the kitchen close at hand. 

 On the top of this car is a water tank, which supplies water by a 

 gravity system to all parts of the camp. The meat room is in one 

 end of the storeroom and just under the water tank. It is zinc lined 

 and has sawdust-filled walls. 



Five of the cars are used for sleeping quarters, each being divided 

 into three compartments, accommodating 10 men each, or 30 men 

 to a car. Each compartment is equipped with five double iron 

 bunks with springs and mattresses, a sink with hot and cold water, 

 shelves and hooks for clothes, steam heat, electric lights, and in- 

 dividual soap dishes. This division of the sleeping cars makes it 

 possible for the men to form congenial groups. 



One of the cars is used for a bath, dressing, and drying room. 

 The bath room is equipped with six shower baths and a dressing 

 room. The operator furnishes the soap. At the other end of the 

 car is a drying room for the men's clothes. Batteries of steam coils 

 laid on the floor under racks furnish sufficient steam to dry gar- 

 ments thoroughly in one and a half hours. 



A reading and writing room 14| by 22 feet is situated at one end of 

 the warehouse, where daily papers, magazines, and writing material 

 are kept. 



Another car, besides furnishing sleeping rooms for the office force, 

 is used as a general camp office and commissary. A portion of this 

 car is used for the company's civil engineer. The engineer's room, 

 which has skylights, is fitted with a drafting table, map racks, an 

 instrument closet, and a double bunk for the engineer and his assist- 

 ant.
