Only once a year, but at the present moment
it is probable that you have a list of people in
mind who should receive gifts from you and the
anxious question of the hour is what to get them.
Come and see our varied lines, lots of desira
ble gifts, and very likely the very things which
you wish to give.
MATLOCK'S will be glad to show you any
thing from an inexpensive little remembrance to
a solid and useful gift.

THE PC BLIC.
day is the happy realization of an
ideal which Messrs. Phil Metschan
& Sons, the proprietors, and Theo
dore B. Wilcox, the builder, 'have for
years striven for. The hotel repre
sents a combined investment with
Mr. Wilcox of a round million dol
lars. At first thought this seems
like a large sum to invest in a hotel,
but the promoters have the soundest
faith in Oregon's continued growth,
and for years Portland has greatly
needed Kuch a hotel as the new Im-
as one of the most modern, complete
and up-to-date hotels on the Amerl
i can continent.
! The lobby is 60x100 feet with a
terazzo and marble floor and lntfer-
lor furnishings in mohogany. The
! impression one gains on entering the
I lobby is one of delight and comfort.
It is decorated in artistic colors that
! harmonize with the fine leather fur
i niture. The frieze Is decorated in
; an imperial crown and the armed
caps of the massive Skagnoila col
umns are laid In delightful deal an
The ceiling panels are oriental plast
er and are painted and decorated in
an artistic manner to blend in com
plete harmony with the luxurious
furnishings. To the left of the lob
by from the main entrance, a magni
ficent marble stairway leads to the
barber shop, turklsh baths and other
accessories in the basement. To the
right of the main entrance Is the buf
fet, conceded to be the finest In the
west. The Interior decorations are
In mohogany and historic designs
from the ruins of Rome and Egypt.
These design are used by special' ar
ranfemOIlt With a well-known retired
millionaire who recently visited the
Pantheon and the Acropolis, the old
Roman Forum and other familiar
scenes of Mark Anthony and Julius
Ceasar, in search of designs for dec
orative purposes. 1 These decorations
are sold only on Condition that work
men skilled In placing them shall be
employed. This was done by Messrs.
Metschan & Sons, and here are to be
found Inscriptions from the obelisks
of Roman and Egyptian clvllzation
which has long since disappeared
from the current history of the
world..
The elevator service comprises two
large cars of the latest model, with
special detaU to safety of guests. The
mechanical principle upon which
these elevators are constructed and
operated make accidents absolutely
impossible.
The ladles' reception room was the
object of special attention on part of
the artist. The walls are covered
with gold damask and the furniture
is In mulberry damask and Henry II.
mohair velvet. The carpets are
wrought in an artistic combination
of colors harmonizing with the drap
