Simon Benson Urged
To Keep Columbia
Gorge Hotel Open
A telegram asking S. Benson to re
verae his decision to close the Columbia
Gorge hotel, at least for the present,
war sent Benson in Southern California
today by W. J. Hofmann, president of
the Northwest Tourist association. The
message gives assurance of special ef
fort to provide the hotel with patronage
r.nd to expedite the clearing of the high
way, which, in its blocked condition, pre
vents patronage.
The Ad club, also, is organizing a spe
cial train party of 500 people for Wash
ington s birthday with the idea, in part,
of bringing to the gorge hotel patronage
for the day and of planning future steps
by whieh the closing may be indefinitely
postponed.
It was said today that S. Benson has
tentatively notified his manager. Henri
Thiele, not only to close the hotel but
to "junk it."

CHEF RECEIVES ORDER TO
CLOSE HOTEL ON HIGHWAY
Hood River. Feb. 15. Henry Thiele
has received orders from Simon Benson,
who is wintering in California, to close
the Columbia Gorge hotel. Inquiries
here disclose that the message from
Benson provides for the closing of the
hotel indefinitely. The order, according
to Thiele, goes into effect April 1.
While no definite reason is assigned
for Benson's action it is known here
that lack of support has had a depress
ing effect on the hotel owner. It is also
said the hotel was not given the pub
licity it deserved in arrangements for
big Eastern lecture tours.
Hood River has supported the hotel in
every way possible this winter, but this
income, it is said, did not meet expenses,
losses having amounted to about $4000
per month since October. Thiele is mak
ing plans to move his family to Port
land. -
