"Yes, well, it is power, now the way I see it, the three of us can turn this place into something far more than it has been in the past. Not that there was anything wrong with what you had here, just a bit more high-toned, you might say, and the rates would go up across the board, for all the ladies working here." Elias told them. "We will see what the market will bare as far as how high the cost would be."
"A nice place costs more than the saloon. Not that we'll forsake that endeavour. Not on your life. We'll milk that place for all it's worth with the local girls. You two and the new ladies will be strictly here. No more two bits a poke, not for you. Here it will be whatever the men will pay!"
Hettie was impressed with Tilly. Other working girls wouldn't have known where to go, conversationally, one a man had shown a disinterest in getting her drawers down. Tilly had the sense to chat about he money side of things. Yeah, a dollar a jump with Tilly, and worth every cent in Hettie's mind. She was gorgeous! Hettie only got that for 'special services'.

Hettie nodded, pulling a face indicative of awe at Mr Steelgrave's business acumen.
"We will see what the market will bare as far as how high the cost would be." Mr Steelgrave stated.
"I don't know about the market, but we'll bare anything we're asked to" quipped Hettie.

"Mister S. - you set up the cow shed and we'll be the milkmaids!" grinned Hettie, adjusting her décolletage.

"That I will, Hettie, that I will." He smiled at the inference. "Having the wherewithal to do this up right, far ahead of the railroad's arrival in Kalispell, we will have the jump on everyone. In fact, I would say that our closet competition would be the hotel dining room." He laughed at his own joke. But his plans would be far above what they currently had.
"The rooms, all of them, will be as elegant as the bar downstairs, and that will be as elegant as San Francisco or St. Louis! I am considering adding at least one meeting room, as I believe there will be a call for such a space before too long. Businessmen, you know, the availability of top-notch food, drink, and girls. A great combination of pleasure and business. That would be something neither the Stardust nor the Belle St. Regis could offer, I mean, they hold business meetings in the saloon proper, something about gold mines or some such." He laughed again, "They strike it rich, and they will be here, spending that gold!"
