Oovclopment Is Plan
The new Eugene hotel under the

culmination of the belief held by
s group of citizens that Eugene

have every detail complete before a
greeting was extruded to the public
to judge of their training and know
ledge in management of these essential
departments of hotel operation.
Every need that the1 most critical
guest could desire has been met and
the 1S3 rooms are equipped with the
best of furnishings, providing a home
like and comfortable atmosphere, and
denoting the care and personal a:
tention of the management for the
accomodation of their p.itrons.
The ruoms are arranged singly and

Another Forward Step in Eugene's History
NOTHER forward step in Eugene
is signalized today in the opening
of the splendid new Eugene
hotel. The enterprise is one that reflects
credit alike upon the city and district and up
on its chief promoters, the Messrs. Bird Rose,
president of the hotel corporation; Ernest R.
Gilstrap, John Hunzicker, A. R. Tiffany and
F. N. McAlister, directors. In the concep
tion of the project and in its carrying through
they have demonstrated the vision that builds
cities. So, too, have the citizens who sub
scribed to stock ni the enterprise demon
strated that vision. That a project of the
magnitude of this one could be and was fi
nanced wholly at home is eloquent testimony
to home faith in the common destiny.
The people of Eugene are proud of their
hew hotel and of the spirit of achievement
which its building represents. To its lessees
and managers, the Messrs. Harry Hutton and
F. A. Clark, who are newcomers here, the
community extends its welcome and well
wishes.
Adequacy of hotel facilities is highly im
portant to any city that seeks to become bet
ter known to the world at large. Good hotels
make a city popular with tourists and with
visitors from neighboring places. After
knowledge has gone abroad that a city is
well equipped with hotels, access of visitors
follows. People come to such a city who
would not come without the advance know
ledge as to what they may expect in regard
to hotel service.
Eugene now has two hotels of the first
class as good as the best, besides a number
of others, smaller but nevertheless well fit
ted and served. With such an equipment,
this city will hereafter be in position to in
vite conventions and gatherings of various -kinds
to come here. They will come if in
vited, because Eugene's hospitality is known
and people like to come here.
No upstate city of Oregon has a finer or
more up to date hotel than the Eugene hotel,
opened today. In design, construction, equip
ment and service it will be a credit to all concerned.
