I have several times made the trip in summer, but was never as pleased with the journey as this time. And I took this route only because the coast road is difficult to traverse.” Mr. Bennet said that Marshfield will soon begin the erec tion of a hotel which he thinks will vie with the new hotel at Ashland as the finest between Portland and San Francisco. “The stock has all been subscribed, the site selected, and con tracts will be let in the near future,” he said.
