HOTEL CAIN WILL
 OPEN TOMORROW


 ka Day by it's formal opening tomor- row afternoon. This is the latest of the hotels to be finished in Juneau and is the last word in modern hotel con- struction It occupies the only con crete and strictly modern building in Juneau. The structure was erected for the proprietor of the hotel, Harry F. Cain, by E. R. Jaeger and C. E. Err icsOn, owners of the ground on which the building is erected The location on Franklin Place between Front and First streets and adjoining Elks' hall is very favorable, being close to all avenues of travel, yet little removed 1 from the waterfront thorOughfare. Mir. Cain has selected as assistant manager of the establishment, J. K. l Leaning, one of the best known and most capable hotel men of the coun- try. He has had experience in the large Eastern hotels as well as on the Pacific Coast and was, before coming to Alaska, with Tom Taggart's Grand Hotel in Indianapolis. Moreover, MT. i Leaning has one of the widest Alas ka acquaintances of any man en- gagged in the business.
 i The service promised will equal that of any hotel in the country. Uni formed porters and valets will meet every boat and be present to wait up on the patrons of the place. The hO- ] tel is already half filled with guests and there is little doubt but that it will soon be a popular resting place for the travelling public.
 There are few hotels anywhere that excel it in any respect, except in size. Despite the fact that it is in con crete building every precautiOn has been made against danger of fire, even the front or vestibule door is made to swing outward The vestibule is laid in French tile. It has three doors, one leading to the stairs, one to the right where the dining room is located and the other on the left to the hotel lobby.
 The lobby is one of the finest in Alas ka and is one of the largest and most comfortable. The tiled floor is abund- antly supplied with large comfortable lounging chairs upholstered with Spanish leather Finely finished writ ing tables are conveniently arranged. The broad, high arch construction af- lords a flood of light and on either side of the great plate glass windows immense palms reach we'll toward the ceiling adding much to the beauty of the place. The furnishings and fix lures are mahogany and the room has been given a mahogany finish that cannot be detected from the real wood. checking room for baggage occu- pies space under the stairway and be- hind the office counter. Here also will be located the telephone exchange.
 To the rear of the lobby a very neat and cOzy little buffet. finished and fur nished in the same excellent style, is reached by direct entrance from the lobby and also by a side entrance from the concrete walk between the building and Elks' hall The buffet is under the management of Messrs Kirkpatrick and Ferguson, both of whom are we'll known all over Alas ka.
 The woodwork of the upper floors is finished in the natural grain, and ele- gantly done. It is a beautiful rich brown. The draperies and carpets have been chosen in shades that har- mOnize with the finish. The rooms are arranged single and ensuite, ten of them having private baths and mod ern sanitary lavatories. Each room has telephine. The furniture is first quality and of tasty design. The chairs are upholstered in real leather and the beds are brass. The steam ra- diatOrs are all of the latest make and nOiseless. The electric light fixtures are works of art. Every room has a
