They believe in inrinK lornl mon nnd keeping in circulation ns much ns possible the capital which tl ey spend within the limits ot l.anc county. Mr. llnrirrnres believes that Ku Kene is slill in t,0. embryonic slate in rcj.ird to buildins and expansion. He says that within a few mor? years Kupene will reach a popula tion near :t."i.0U0. liven then it will not stop, he stated. "This city is siluateil unions excellent farm lands beside heinff a possible railroad ter minal." he says. "This means that npprovimatelv 30(10 people will come lo Eugene whiili in turn will brinR an other .1000 or more." He bases these figures of the increase in population on the fact th:it when a city begins growing and expanding that people will come in reside and hring with them other industries which will make it possible for more and more to find employment. Guard Man First To Eat At Hotel The honor of enjoying the first b.te of fund to come from the kitchen of the new Kugene hotel g es to the reo- resentative of the ,uard. who hap ; pendet in just as a pan of macaroons ! was being extracted from the oven. jThe writer can indeed testify to the j efficiency of the new electric oven, j which is a feature of the kitchen, j The bakery department is comvn ' irmly located below, and it is com pletely equipped ft everything from tiny macaroons to wedding rake. Harry Hutton and V, A. Clark, lesees of the new Kugene hotel for a period of l. years, assure the travel' ing public that the managemf nt of the establishment will be on a par with any hotel of the Pacific coast and in keeping with the public spirit and civic progress that has made possible the new local hostelry. Hotb managers are men of wide ex perience in hotel management, pos sessing a thorough knowledge of operation, a keen insight into the needs of hotel patron and the finan cial resources to make this possible. From its inception more than two years ago Mr. Hutton has been active in promoting the Kugene hotel, giving advise on building plans based on his experience in this field and imbued with the desire to put through the hotel project with due regard to local demands of the present and to have an establishment capable, of provid ing for future needs of hotel accom modation here. That this determination to do all possible to bring the hotel plan to a successful issue and provide a pro gram of management that will prove pleasing and progressive has been fruitful is indicated by the dedication tonight of the new enterprise and the well-laid details that mark the hand ling of the business. Mr. Hutton. who previously resided in Kugene before returning here two years ago, formerly owned and man aged the St. Francis hotel at Albany, Oregon, He was previously in the hotel business at Henver. Colorado, being nssocinted with the I'leasanton and Adams hotels. Mr. Clark also has the experience of many years in the hotel business both in Ihe east and at Portland where he opened "the Clyde hotel and later opened the Hitz hotel there. The Clark hotel is another project in Port laud put through by the new Ku gene mannger, the Clark later being changed to the Morse when Mr. Clark sold oik his interests. He. was formerly associated with the Plant ers hotel at St. Louis and the Cadil lac hotel at Uetroit. both hosteleries with national reputations.
