Hotel Multnomah Oners Ideal Home
For Transient Visitors to Portland.


During a recent visit to Portland
the writer availed himself of the ac-
commodations offered at the Hotel
Mutnomah and was very favorably
impressed with the management and
the accommodations of this magnif-
icent new hotel. From the lobby to
the smallest guest chamber, (Which,
in the Multnomah isn't small at alD
everything about the big building be-
speaks the quiet elegance and abb
sence of ostentatious furnishings
found only in the more modern cara
vansaries. The great lobby with it's
easy chairs and comfortable divans,
the mezzanine floor which surrounds
the lobby, with its many cozy re-
treats, the numerous lounging places,
the broad halls. the spacious, hand
somely furnished rooms, the beauti-
full blue Room" and the enhancing
"Arcadian Garden" all combine to Of
fer to the transient guest the most
comfortable and satisfying temporary
home than the best minds and the
money Of the modern hotel builders
and managers can produce. And,
above all, the welcome that you get
from "the man at the desk" in the
Hotel Multnomah warns the cookies
of the heart and causes you to con-
gratulate yourself that you picked
out this particular stopping place.
They're glad to see at the Multnomah,
and everybody from the Main Guy
to the Japanese bell boy resolves
himself into a committee of one to
see that you get the best of every
thing. And the charges are very
reasonable. You pay no more for a
room at the Multnomah than you do
at any of the several first-class ho-
tells in Portland, and not as much as
you have to put up at some of them,
for inferior accommodations. There
is no attempt at a hold-up anywhere |
and when you finally pay your bill
and take your departure you will do
so with the well-developed idea that |
you have received your moneys |
worth.
The Hotel Multnomah is credit |
not only to the city of Portland, but |
to the Pacific coast and the most .
thing abut it, is the price
schedule for the rooms, for the meals
and for all other service, it reason
able and Of the best. Try it the next
time you visit Portland.

TO the voters of Polk County:

To the voters of Polk County:
Having received the Republican
nomination for Assessor, / respect
fully ask your support for my election
November 5. My principles are:
Rigid economy in office, courteous
treatment to everybody. To be a
servant of the people, not boss; but
shall be firm to do my duty without
special favor and without fear. A
careful and impartial consideration of
every complaint. Cheerful assist
ance in looking up records, maps,
etc. in the office. A low rather than
a high rate of assessment. To be
sure that property is not assessed
higher in Polk county than in other
counties, thus avoiding payment of
more than our proportion of state
tax. To leave duplicate of assess
ment when made, and to notify you
of any alterations if any be made
afterward. School district lines care
fully drawn and property assessed in
proper school districts. Large prop
erty owners assessments in just pro-
portion to the smaller. Corporations
must pay their portion of the taxes
Favor community board of equaliza-
ton. To guard the best interests of
the people
Respectfully,
