Portland, we are told, he stayed At the
bouse of q friend, and at all other places
dined and lodged either on the boats or
on the ears. II was not necessary 10
stay at any honse here, for the moss
complete arrangements had been made
for the entertainment OF tho party On
the steamer North Pacific. He had
been at tho same hotel here te-
fore, and his agents on this coast had
also. and they knew what TO expect
aud were not disappointed. MIR. vi

been better for the people there had
they united In building hotel worthy
their fair town, and probably they'll do
Il before Mr.. Willard comes again.
There are tens Of thousands OF per-
sons travelling over the country who IN
this matter ara like Mr.. Willard. They
are going for comfort and pleasure

Information, aud they consider the

place the public accommodations OF
which arc no;oriously bad, and when
they, OF necessity or accidentally. do
get into such place, they &c. out again
at the earliest moment, and afterwards
give the town q bad name wherever
they go. The money that IL lost to, aud
the injury that IL done. town in this
way Is greater than people generally
have an idea. or than they would be-
licys il stated IN. print.
Let Seattle hotels maintain their good
name, and 1t will be long stride for
ward in our race for future commercial
and metropolitan supremacy.
