As the Elks were unable to secure the

the annual home-coming, the committee
in charge have indefinitely postponed
the affair. The following week brings
the l'ortland Roso Festival and it is
probable that the committee will post

will not be necessary while strolling
among the trees of the university
campus, or at least while sauntering
from Katun hail to State street. In or

a large block of California granite with
a brass style. On the stono will be in

Annex Will Cost $15,000 and
Work Will Be Begun On It
at Once
An annex of 42 rooms to the Marion
Hotel will be constructed within the
next, three months', at a cost of $1.",000.
This was definitely decided on at a
meeting of the board of directors of the
Capital Investment company, nnd
Oeorge M. Post, architect, was in
structed to draw plans and specifea
Hons, in order that bids may be sub
mitted to contractors and the work
started at once.
The annex will be built in the court
on the south side of the hotel, with a
large court between the main structure
and the annex in order that all may be
out. siderooms.
In connecting im with the main build
ing, it was necessary to go through'
several rooms of the building, thus real
ly adding 37 rooms. With the 7! avail-1
able at present, when the annex is com-1
pleted, the hotel will have lit) rooms. !
This addition to the hotel has Wen I
made possible through the management
ti Charles W. Miller who has been in
charge only a few months. Since Mr.
Miller was placed in control the busi-j
ness has assumed such proportion that i
it was found necessary and advisable toj
begin the erection of the annex.
Tho history of the Marion hotel dates j
back to 1 St! 7, w hen if was opened un-1
dcr the name of Chemeketa. At that'
time the board of directors were John '
W. Wright. John K. Miller, Meyer!
llirseh, S. Henchel, Joseph Ilolman and'
others. The original cost of the t he-1
meketa hotel and grounds was $110,000.1
A mortgage of S:10.000 was given to the :
l.a.ld & liuh bank. After the hotel
had been in operation little over one
year, it was found to be a losing in-j
vestment, and was taken over by the;
Ladd and Hu.h bank for the . 10,000
mortgage.
The bank changed the name of the
hotel to the Commercial nnd later to
the Willamette. Putil the summer of
Mlcately tmste
flavor and sse'
lfdit the hotel was owned by the bank.
During that summer the present cor
poration was formed, ttnowu as the!
Capital Investment, company. Tliis;
company purchased from l.ndd & Bush!
the hotel and the ono half block ad- j
.joining for ;i7,.r)00. Later all the
ground, excepting that on which thej
hotel stands was sold for $2.",."00, niak-j
ing the hotel as it stood in li0'.l cost'
the company exactly $12,000. j
At a cost of 70,000, the hotel was;
entirely re-modeled in 1010, bringing j
the present investment of the Capital i
Investment company to s,000. At. j
the time of the re modeling, 1010, M2.-1
000 was borrowed from I.add & Hush.
This indebtedness was paid by the
stockholders within three years, leaving i
the property at present free of all en-;
cuinbrancc.
At the meeting of the stockholders
this week, it was unanimously voted to
build the annex at a cost of $1.-1,000.!
as soon as arrangements could In1' made
for funds. Here again the l.add &!
Hush bank come to the front and loaned
the company the necessary amount.
The present board of directors of the
Marion hotel is. Pred W. Steusloff,
president; Thomas II. Kay, vice presi-j
dent; Russell Cntlin, treasurer; J. A.,
Wilson, secretary. Other stockholders!
are Or. W. 11. Hvrd, C. 11. Mc.Xary; W. j
