GJtAXO HOTEL IS SOLI)
TO A PORTLAND MAX.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Srlm-art Will
iSend Several Mont lis lu the
East Visiting Relatives.
Another business deal of more
than passing Importance was closed
irt 'Roseburg latq Saturday, tvvheu
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schwartz, for the
past eighteen months In charge of
Grand hotel, situated in the-Marsters
building at the corner of. Rose and
Cass streets, disposed of their hold
ings to G. W. Corns, recently o'
Portland.
With the money involved in th
deal deposited in a local bank tb
formal transfer papers are bein; ,
made out today and it is expected
that the new proprietor will assume
charge of the hostlery 'on September
1. Mr. Coins Is said to have enjoy
ed many years experience in the ho
tel business and he comes to Rose
burg with the most flattering recom
mendations. As .soon as possible,
Mr. Corns anticipates making a num
ber of substantial improvements
about the hotel which will add ma
terially to the convenienlo and com
fort of the traveler. In the event
the business justifies, Horace Mnrs
ters, owner of the building, will .add
another story as well as Install a
modern elevator. -
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schwartz, who
retire from the management of the
popular hostlery are well and favor
ably known In Roseburg and vicinity.
At the time of first engaging in the
hotel business in Roseburg, Mr. and
Mrs. Schwartz leased the Oregon
rooming house, at the corner of Lane
and Sheridan streets. Paying strict
attention to the wants of their
guests the couple soon established a
reputation- as caterers of no little
ability among the traveling public.
About eighteen months ago Mr. and
Mrs. Schwartz leased the Grand ho
tel, which hostlery they have since
conducted. With first-class rooms,
kept In the best of condition under
the careful direction of Mrs.
Schwartz, and the best of treatment
accorded by Mr. Schwartz and his
efficient clerks, the traveling public
has enjoyed accommodations at this
hostlery second to none In the state.
Follovfng formal transfer of the
property, Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz will
leave for the East where they will
spend some time visiting with the
former's relatives who reside in Wis
consin. Although 'planning! to re
turn to Oregon, It is not probable
th Mr. fund Mrs. Schwartz will
locate In Roseburg.
Although regretting to learn that
Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz have disposed
of their hotel, the citizens of Rose
burg .extend a hearty welcome to Mr.
Corns, the new proprietor.
