HISTORICAL HOSTELRY IN CAPITAL CITY IS SOLD SALKM. Or.. April 14. Tbe sale of 'the Willamette hotel to a company 'of local men undoubtedly means that Salem will have two good hotels in stead of one. The Willamette was sold lo a slock company composed of Tom Kay. Dr. W. II. P.yrd, J. A. Wil son, Joseph liniimgui-tncr. Hay Fnrm- ei. C. L. MoNnry Steusloff Urns. The price paid und Catlin & l.mn was $37,500. Although no formal meeting .f the company has neen neio since me pur chase, it is under.-lo..d to be Ihe pur pose of the corporation to remodel the building, using the ground floor for business purposes and the rest of (he building for a modern rooming house. 'I'hi' (lillvhaM'r- an- ; llu the most enthusiastic boosters and largest stockholders in the company now bc ing formed to erect a new $100.00(1 hotel in a more favorable location, and this project will bo pushed to completion as fast ns possible.

WOULD HAVE NEW MOTOR SERVICE IN THIS VALLEY Commercial Bodies of Southern Ore gon Will Take the Matter Up With the Railroad Officials. WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT ALL OUTSIDE SECTIONS Southern Pacific Company Has Put Service On Everywhere May Do So in This Valley. A movement is lo be placed on foot by the various commercial bod ies of southern Oregon (o have the Southern I'aeific company establish a motor car service between the dif ferent cities of southern Oregon and between those of the Rogue River valley points in particular. This service, with tbe one to bo put in operation- upon the Rogue River Valley railroad, Would give the residents of the valley and intornrban service sooner than could be hoped for by waiting for the construction of an electric railroad, which is certain to come in time. The division of the larger orchard tracts of the valley into smaller tracts ami Ihe greatly increasing popuiauoa win mane sucii a servict I ay, besides, rapidly developing Ihe country adjacent to Ihe line of lb rviulneru I'noihe road, passing as il does throughout Ihe entire length ot Ibe valley, lis benefits would bo a ureal incentive to (be settling of the outside country and would bring Ibe cihes ol the valley into closer touch with each other. 'flic elablislnnent of such serv ices uiion Ihe lines of the Southern I'aeific is by no means an experi ment for them. Such a service hut long been ill operation in the Sac- ramenlo valley upon Ibe lines of tin iuineio i itcnic ana press dis patches recently carried the new; news that such a service would be established in eastern Oregon on the Ii. & N. A motor car service has jusi been announced which will be put on with Ihe understanding that if enough new business is created to justifv it con tinuance that it will be maintained permanently. It is believed that if the commer cial bodies of southern Oregon are united in asking for such a service that it will be put on as Ihe Southern Pacific has in the past done every thing that they could to aid in the de velopment of southern Oregon.
