NEW IMPERIAL HOTEL
OPENS IN METROPOLIS
Portland's New Million Dollar Hotel
Is Finest In the Oregon Country.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 16.-(Special)
The formal opening Of the new
Imperial hotel, which took place yes
terday marks another milestone in
the gigantic strides Of progress Of
Portland and Oregon This magnifl-
cant caravansary rises to a height of
nine stories, contains $50 rooms ele-
gantly furnished. and is the finest in
the Oregon country.
The New Imperial as it stands to-
day is the happy realization Of an
ideal which Messrs Phil Metschan &
Sons, the proprietors, and Mr.. Theo-
dore B. Wilcox, the builder, have for
years strlven for The hotel repre-
sents a combined investment with Mr..
Wilcox of a round million dollars. At
first thought this seems like a large
sum to invest in hotel, but the pro-
moters have the soundest faith in Or
egon's continued growth, and for
years Portland has greatly needed
hotel such as the New Imperial.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Metschan en-
gagged in the hotel business in Port
land and the New Imperial as it
stands today Is the goal toward which
he has been constantly striving. That
his efforts have been crowned with
the highest measure of success is the
unanimous verdict of all who have
inspected the new hotel.
The New Imperial is now the larg-
est and most modernly equipped hos
telry in the northwest. 1t represents
the expenditure of a million dollars
and the best architectural and tech
nical skill in the science of modern
hotel construction and furnishing
The main entrance is on Seventh
street, with entrances also on Wash
ington and Stark, thus occupying the
entire corner of Seventh, Stark and
Washington streets, with an arcade
extending from the Washington street
entrance to Stark street. The build
ing material is of the finest concrete
and every room is an outside room,
thus providing ample ventilation and
sunshine. Messrs. Whidden & Lewis
are the architects.
Before a final plan of construction
and arrangement was decided upon
Mr.. Phil Metschan made trip to
Europe for the special purpose Of
gathering data from the leading hos
telries OF the old world. The infor-
nation and new ideas thus obtained
have been embodied in the New I'M
perial and Il represents the most up
to-date ideas to be found in the
greatest hostelries in the world. Not
satisfied with the old order of things
| in Portland hoteldom, the best ex-
perts TO be obtained iE America were
imported to carry out these new ideas
and the Imperial stands today one
of the most modern. complete and up
to-date hotels on the American con-
tinent.
The lobby is 6ox10O feet, with ter
azzo and marble floor and interior
| furnishings in mahogany. The i'm

its old popular managers, Messrs
Phil Metschan &, Sons, who for the
past twelve years have had as their
guests the leading people of Oregon.
The Imperial IS an Oregon product

For many years it has been the
headquarters for leading citizens and
business men of the state while tram

continue to especially cater to its old
friends and their friends. Its man
ayers are delighted to be able to re-

perial has an individuality of its own,
and its great and growing popular
