running water, sink, radio, daven
port, dinette which can be trans
formed into an extra bed for guests
(and who would resist an invitation
to hunt de luxe closets, gas
cook stove and other gadgets too

WILKINS AT ARCATA
Wilkins Motor Inn at Areata, Cal.,
is the latest hostelry of Joe L. Wil
kins, noted greeter at Heppner's old
time Palace hotel, according to a
Redwood highway folder received
from there this week. Wilkins was
proprietor of the Palace when the
famed hostelry, once one of eastern
Oregon's finest hotels, was razed by
fire in 1918. His present location is
situated a short distance north of
Eureka on the coast highway. The
Wilkins family left Heppner shortly
after the disastrous fire and have
since been located near Eureka
where Mr. Wilkins was for many
years associated with a lumbering
concern. That he has not lost the
booster instinct which caused him
to be remembered by many here as
Heppner's number one booster, is in
dicated by the folder which carries
advertisement of the Wilkins Motor
inn as one of the class A stopping
places on the coast route.
