What Columbia Needs.

There are many inducements at pres
ent in Columbia, for visitors. A beauti-
ful climate, an abundance of clear spring
water, wide and clean streets, and va
rious means of recreation, are a few
among the many. in the town itself. Be-
sides this we are in the direct route of
parties travelling towards the Big Tree
grove, the trout streams in the noun
tains. and the many mining Camps above
US. Notwithstanding all this, we have
no Hotels. We do not inte I'D to convey
the idea that there is m place where
pa,ties can stop. refresh themselves, &c,
FIR there are several such houses.
Green's hotel is Well kept house.

come tired IF being compelled to live in

where, with every cloud that passes
over the sun, different temperature is
perceptible, is not the most pleasant
place to live for enjoyment.
What we require is large, well ven-
tillated brick hotel. We are sati fed
that such building, fnrisEeI ia gpsi
style, would make fortune for its own
er III very short time. A good hotel
is an in.lucelnent IN itsef for visitors.
ard travel always follows where good
accommodations are to be found. Msny
families IN gu, own town would prefer
to board at hotel, if properly con-
stlucted and well kept one was in ope-
ration. We hope some of our capital
lists will consider this subject, and act on
the suggestion.
