"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.

All Now Ready.
Thanks to Cuthbert & Co., the

one need go without a comfortable
place to stay. .A rann is always In

box to keep all valuables has been
provided.
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
