EUGENE HOTEL IS Film nring of the new Kugene hotel involvi'd il.e largest individual pice of corporate financing ever under taken in this city, declares Keith Kip gins, lomil representative of the llljthe, Witter and Company, flnnnohl firm, of Portland, who bundled the bonds for the firm. A lotul of f 175.000 first mortgage bonds, hearing interest at six and one half per cent, wore offered, with security in the form of a closed mortnaee on the entire property, con servatively valued at moro thun twice this nmount. ,The issue was marked success ut once, Mr. Kiggins declared. Tlie total block was rpiick ly absorbed by local investors, as iyl as by bunks and other inuiviuiiaui throuichout tho Northwest. So rapid was the sale of these bonus that advertising upacs in newspapers contracted for before the insuo wns put on tho market, bad to be used to announce that the issue was som ou:. The secondary market for these bonds hns been very fltrnug also, says Mr. Kiggins. "We still have many Inquiries for this issue," he says, "and we endeavor to keep n few bond on hand whenever possible to accomo date local buyers." TI The full sl7.e basement finder the new Kugene hotel was mnde possihlo by the A. . Mnthew rnmpnny, for It wns this firm, under the direction of Mr. Mathews himself, that did all of the excnvnllon work. The A. C. Mathews company is fully equipped to handle contracts of this size and importance, for in addition to possessing n largo, sand and gravel plant, efficient machinery for exca vating Is owned by the firm. This la innnned by nn expert crow of men, who thoroughly nnderntnnd excnvntlng and all ltn various problems. Tho Kugeno hotel basement mnde necessary one of the biggest, exenva lion jobs ever aoeit in the city. The underground work required n "holo" HO by I llo feet in size, and n dozen feet below street. level. Several tenuis, with special machinery, were required for the work, which pro gressed very rapidly from the time that tho first shovel of dirt wns re moved. Tho careful work on tho basement j was a real aid to construction, saya W, V. Head, superintendent of con struction, who said that, the work done by the Mathews firm wns right In every way. The A. t Mo thews enmpnny has nlso done a great ileal of this work in other section of tho city, ns well as supplying material such a gravel and sand for many firms, Tho com pany is the oldest of its kind in the city. M f HEAL FRENCH CHEF ID PREPARE M .B No hotel, however fine, is not quite complete without uu efficient cnuf. And lucky indeed, nowadays, is tits hostelry that can command the serv ices of a genuine Fremli master of the culinary art! Itut the hotel is no luckier than its pair wis, for they after all art the ones who must troop into the dining room thrice daily, to emerge happy or downcast, according to the ability of the man who presides over the huge grilles and ovens. Ifiners at tle new Kugene hotel j can consider themselves extremely fortunate, then, for one of the fin est chefs in all the west is already there, with his corps of tried and true assistants. Monseur Edmund Pierre, native of Frunce, pupil of the mou famous chefs of that land famous for fine food, has already taken com ma ml. i .Monseur Pierre came to America some time ago, and his ftkill quickly brought him to the fore, lie rose steadily in the culinary world, until he held u responsible position at the famou LaSalle hotel in Chicago, fam ous the country over for its finest of foods. Here Pierre received a val uable training in applying the French methods of cooking to American me thods of serving, and his skill and artistry were further developed when lio served with the exclusive Alex andria club in Vancouver, ii, C. So the jolly Frenchman not only knows how to prepare food for reg-1 ti la r tasty meals, but he understands the preparation of daiuticH for any occasion. He comes here highly reconi monded by everyone with whom be hns come in contact. Chef Pierre is a jolly follow, too, and he expects to make a host of, friends in Kugene, not only becauso he feels sura of tickling the many palates, but because he. is en ardent sportsman, and a lover of the outdoors. "For two reasons I corns to Eu gene," he nys, in hi slightly French accent, "one is this beautiful hotel which is such a pleasure to be In, and the other well, this is the coun try of ths finest outdoors in America. Sometime 1 will serve a banquet for which I will prepare many fine trout I myself have taken from your beauti ful river." Monseur Pierre also has a hobby in which he is Intensely Interested. 'Hint is motorbonting. In Portland he has a swift craft that has won him many a cup and trophy, and of which he Is very proud. His only regret at coming to Kugene is that he will have to leave tho craft behind. "But I can go up for nil races," he says, "and I will be so busy wild my fino bright kitchen, and my fishing that I will not really miss it." dining rdmn is no better than il.e kitchen which serves it, in the belief of Kdiuund Pierre, noted French "I have watched the Eugene Hotel since breaking the dirt for the basement and am frank to say the finished product is a credit to the state."
