"The road was very xesgk as very hilly. It crossed aree mountain ranges and there were grades eight Tines long. Wo frequent ly- Lad to get out and walk.

"Ye olde' hotel" has becu tho center around which many events revolved in. romantic literature. Tho typical innkeepers of Old England were characters of no little importance and have been immortalized by such writers as Dickens, Thackeray, Dr, Johnson, Washington Irving and oth er writers who were the makers of our classic literature. The innkeeper was fat, phlegmatic and fond of his cups." He had many tales to relate to travelers and was au entertainer in this manner quite as much as the provider of food and shelter to the public. But the innkeeper of a few decades ago has disappeared, and in his place we have the personage who, if less picturesque, can lay claim to as many' accomplishments in the gentle art of making the traveler or guest feel at home. The hotel man of today is a man of science and his hotel, if modern in construction and methods of opera tion, is conducted in accordance with distinct scientific principles. This fact can be observed in any fine ho tel of class, and the development of science in hotel work in America is one of the most interesting topics of today. In no other hotel can these facts and principles be observed better than in the new Hotel Seward of Portland, Or. This magnificent new hostelry, which was opened last July, is a marvel of beauty and scientific hotel construction. The building is six stories high, contains 150 rooms, is built of pressed brick and .glazed stucco, and furnished throughout in mahogany and Circassian 'walnut. Almost every room has a private ba'th attached and all ore outside rooms, affording guests ample sunshine and fresh air. There are local and long distance telephones in every room. Otis elevators. The lobby has been pronounced the most beautiful of any hotel in the west. The system of ventilation is perfect, so that such a thing as impure air is unknown. The rooms are cleaned by a great pneu matic cleaning plant in the basement, which has connecting tubes with ev ery room, and is operated by elec tricity. It is impossible for a speck of dust to remain after the cleaning process hna been carried out.. Quiet and homelike, this hotel at fords superior advantages to busi ness men and their families who re side in the different cities of Oregon and wish to visit Portland on bus iness. The hotel is noted for its homeliko atmosphere,' and its corps of trained employes attend to every want of the guests. If tho guest wishes nnything or desires any er rand to be performed, all that is ne cessary is to press a button and the thing is done at once by trained em ployes. All these comforts and conveni ences arc afforded, too, at a most reasonable tariff, it being possible to obtain good rooms hero at $1 per day and upward, a slightly increased price being added for room with pri vate baths. Every room is heated by steam, lighted by electricity and has hot and cold running water at all times. Although the Seward is conducted upon the European plan, a beautiful ly appointed grill room has been op ened in tho hotel for the accommoda tion of guests. The tariff here is moderate, and a good meal can be obtained from 50 cents to $1 and up ward, as the guest may desire. This plan is considered an advantage, for under the a la carto system a guest may order what he wants nnd pay for what he gets, and no guest of the hotel is expected to cat at the hotel unless he so desires. The Seward is located in the very heart of Portland's business life. Just across the street, tho Olds, Worlman & King company are soon to complete and furnish their great department store at a cost of several millions. It is nearer tho theaters than any other hotel in tho city. Tho Seward is owned nnd operated by Mr. Walter II. Seward, who has been in tho hotel business in Port land for many years. Tho office is in charge of an efficient corps of clerks who have hnd long experience in some of the leading hotels of the west. Have you visited tho Tent City? ji course, you iinvo seen it ns you passed along Main street going to or trom tho business section of tho city. lho tent city is a wonderful place, Sonio 50 touts lmvo already boon erected with floors nnd sido walls of wood and neatly stained. Tho tops of white ennvns with an addi tionnl fly over nil insures circulation of air and protection from tho hont of tho sun. Tho tent city is laid off in streets, each tent w furnished comfortably and completely and is as ucsirnblo as most rooms in any hotel. Tho entire grounds nro in closed, each tent as clcctrio lighted, sanitary, clean nnd woll protected. .Very Xeccssnry. Tho tent city was tnndo necessary by tho crowds of pcoplo who are coming to Mcdford daily and cannot find suitablo rooms cither at privato homes or the hotels. Tho enterprising, hustling firm of Cuthbert & Co. took tho matter up and in a surprisingly short timo suc ceeded in installing nnd furnishing tho tents, making them rendy for occupancy. Tl.

Public Invited. Tho public in general is invited to visit the tent city nnd lenrn how neatly things havo been arranged. A reasonable chargo will be made for tlicso tents unifjit is anticipated that most of them4will bo filled in n very short timo.' If you can't find a room, or, bettor, if you rcnlizo tho superior advantages of sleeping in a tent instead of a house, como soon nnd secure one of these tents. Como nnd visit tho tent city, anyway.
