said Vining.
''Looking at the
faces of one or two persons nest­

can see the joy. the happiness
of a dream come true. Among
us are pioneers, who came to
Soathern Oregon, .who pgunud
the very portals of this hotel,
the roadway was but a trail,
leading to Jacksonville, where
a gold strike had been made.
“ That was the first epoch.
Then cante the longing fo r • ttt-
tln home. The ^ r a ll broadened
to an emigrant road, and the
covered
wagon
rumbled
by.
Homes sprung up where the gold
m iner’s shack has stood. Thus
did another dream come true.
Then came the dream that this
valley might yield the woaderf*.!
producte of which we now know
it capable of producing.
Men
labored long, and finally their
dream came true, when the laud
blpaaomed forth.
"Then came'another dream, a
dream which hoped that wa of
the West, when we invited our
friends of the Best, could offer
them accommodations equal to
the best, thus joining the bettor
things of east apd Feet. the.
comforts of a splendid hotel
with the Joys and happiness of
red blooded men playing In the
great outdoors.
'»Tonight
we eommemeedhe
the opening of such a hotel.
Tonight we can say. Coase to

land where dreams come trae."
