READY FOR GUESTS
Three-Story Annex to Hotel Gail Is
Nearing Completion.

Furnishing of the sleeping rooms in
Gail is progressing rapidly. Three of
the large front rooms were placed at
the disposal of guests Tuesday night
and it is expected that all of the
rooms on the second floor will have
been furnished by January 15.
The furniture in these rooms is all
strictly first-class and modern and will
compare favorably with that of any
hotel in Oregon south of Portland.
The beautiful front rooms are so ar
ranged as to be let singly or en- suite.
Eight rooms are provided with baths,
and all are furnished with stationary
marble wash basins. Every room is
provided with hot and cold water. The
entire building is heated from fur
mace in the rear of the first story and
uniform temperature can easily be
maintained at all times. Velvet brus-
sells carpets and beautiful rugs have
been used to cover the floors.
In addition to furnishing the rooms
in the new annex in the most modern
ana Styltt
son is also making numerous changes
and improvements in the hotel build
ing proper. Many of the small bed
rooms are being done away with by
tearing out the partitions and throw
ing two rooms into one. These rooms
will be beautifully kalsomined, and
when completed will compare favor
ably with the new rooms in the annex,
save for the bath and toilet apart
ments.
Contractor Oscar Holmes has a
large force of men at work putting
the finishing touches on the building,
and this force has lately been aug
mented by the painters and decora-
tors
Mr.. Thompson informs the Observer
that in the near future he will begin
the work of remodeling the old build
ing on an extensive scale. The nature
and extent of this work has not been
fully decided upon. but it is probable
that a neat glass front will be put in,
thus providing for a much better
lighted office and lobby. Another i'm
provement in contemplation is the
transformation of the present bag
gage room into a reading and writ
ing room. Such a convenience has long
been needed. and it is one that will
be greatly appreciated by the patrons
of the house.
The new Hotel Gail is surpassed by
no hotel in Western oregon, and Dali
las is proud of II. The reputation Of
the popular hostlery is already state
wide, and the new annex will In
crease its fame and popularity.

of kale for life preservers and life sus-
tainers for the stock. Our good breth-
rem on the college campus tell us kale
is the greatest of all feeds for winter
dairying; but come and help gather a
few loads and tell, by experience,
which is the best and incest, corn in
