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.
