opened to the public last week, unde
the management of Messrs. Matthews
& Buckley, proprietors.
Some time since the TRIBUNE con
tanned a full and complete deserip
ton of this elegant hostelry, giving
the number of rooms, their dimen
sions, the cost of the building, the
names of the contractors for its con-
struction, the material used, etc., etc.,
therefore shall not at this time enter
into another description of the same;
but will state that there are forty-two
rooms for guests, besides the elegant
parlors, the commodious and pleasant
dining room, kitchen, office, sample
room, wash room, store room, and
other necessary rooms for first-class
hotel.
The building is heated throughout
with steam, and is supplied with call
and recall electric bells. The sys-
tenn of ventilation is as perfect as
could be wished for the comfort OF
guests. The rooms are so arranged
that each one is supplied with abund-
ant light. The halls are wide, airy,
and we'll lighted. The guests rooms
are elegantly furnished with modern
furniture. The parlors are carpeted
with Gobelin carpeting and magniti-

as they do, a delightful view of the
surrounding country.
Messrs. Mathews & Buckley, the
proprietors, have had an extended ex-
perience in the hotel business. They
are both intelligent, well-informed.

tions, and it may be truly said that
''every man can't keep hotel, that
is, can't keep a hotel successfully. To
be good hotel keepers, the managers
must be good judges of human nature,
so that when guests enter the house
the manager or managers can tell at
a glance the kind of treatment that
will please each particular guest.
Messrs. Mathews & Buckley are hap
lily blessed with these most necessary
qualifications, as their past record
and the commentator of the travel
ing public clearly show.
Mrs. Mathews, the hostess, cannot
be too highly commended as lady
peculiarly adapted for the position
she occupies-easy and pleasant in
her manners, and while exercising
general supervision of the affairs
properly under her control, she will
be found to be charming lady to en-
terrain company.
Frank Osborn, the steward, is an
caterer and is we'll known
to the travelling public, especially in
North Dakota.
The billiard and sample room is
under the supervision of John Boutell,
a pleasant and courteous gentleman.
The employees Of the hotel have
been admirably selected and the
guests of The Morris will be certain
to receive from them prompt and
careful attention.
Few hotels in the northwest are |
more completely fitted for the accom-
of the public than our new
hotel, The Morris; and we are pleased
to state that it has, since it was
opened to the public, received most
liberal patronage, having on several
nights been completely filled with
guests; and if it does not achieve a
widespread reputation as the best
hotel in this section, it will be no
fault of the proprietors,
On behalf of the citizens of Norris
we extend to the managers Of The
Morris hearty and cordial welcome,
and hope they may never regret COM
ing among us.
