THE LAST MEAL AT
 THE OCCIDENTAL

The dinner which was served at the Occidental hotel Christmas Eve, marked the closing of an epoch in the history of Juneau.
 Yesterday was the first time in the life of the hotel. since is was estab- lished by John olds in 1881, that the public has been denied hospitable meal at that hostelry.
 Juneau, like many other towns, has worn the hectic flush of fever-mad rushes = and suffered afterward throuh the dark relapse following. In halcyon days, eating houses sprang up, flourished and died. but the din ing room of the Occidental continued to serve it's public. Today is is no more. The Occidental henceforth will be strictly on the European plan says John P. olds, who has succeed ed as manager to the house founded by his father.

 A downtown business man said; "As a matter of civic pride the peo- ple of Juneau should take more in- terest in the situation. Something should be done toward securing suit able place for the legislature to hold it's sessions in without spreading it. self all over the townsite."

 Juneau needs first class hotel" said J. c. Mcbride. "and there must be united and intelligent effort made to get it. If we haven't money enough here to establish such an institution then we must make the object attrac- tive to outside capital When the sit uation becomes understood by hotel men throughout the country there is is not the slightest doubt but that capital will seek investment here in this field. The talk by irresponsible parties about proposed hotels and ho- tel buildings should be discouraged as such false reports may keep desirable people from Investigating the field that is now offered"
 There is not the slightest doubt among thinking business men that with the meeting of the legislature their will come a swarm of visitors who will wish to attend the sessions. Just how the matter of caring for them is problem, that although real, has not as yet bestirred anyone to un- usual activity.
