No hotel man in the northwest is better known than Mr. Savage, and the rule among traveling men is always to make his resorts for Sundays, if possible, as a Sunday dinner at a Savage hotel is noted from one end of the Northern Pacific to the other. In the management of his present property Mr. Savage is assisted by his wife, who might properly be termed an angel of mercy, for in the care of invalids at the noted resort which they manage, and in kindly ministrations to all, regardless of their financial condition, Mrs. Savage has won the blessings of hundreds of poor unfortunates who have gone to Hunters almost hopeless cripples and have left entirely cured and with the fondest recollections of her kindness and attention. Under his present lease Mr. Savage now operated both the Mendenhall and Murray hotels, having one of the best equipped sanitariums in the world. The baths are well arranged, the Murray being under cover, while the Mendenhall includes the finest plunge, for summer use, in the state. The medicinal qualities of the water are so well known that no mention is needed of their excellent healing properties. J. P. Allen, Cooke City.
