When the time for speaking ar
rived, Mr.. A. N. Eckstrom took
charge as POSTMASTER. He said
that this was proud day in the
history Of Warren and called at
tention to the fact that what is
achieved after long, hard and per-
sistent work, is generally of more
value and much more appreciated,
than If easily obtained. Warren
had waited long and patiently for
a hotel and now it had one that
was credit to the city.
Mr.. Eckstro1a introduced Judge
Grindeland, who responded to the
toast "Our Hotel, in his usual hap
py and humorous vein. He recount
ed the many struggles and efforts
that had been made in the past to
secure an up-to-date hotel for the
city, but all attempts were in vain
until Charles R. Snyder, formerly
of Ada, took hold of the project and
with the assistance of the business
men of Warren carried it thru to
success.
The POSTMASTER next called upon
w. F. Powell, who in a ringing
speech toasted "Our Landlord" He
congratulated Mr.. Snyder and the
city Of Warren on this happy oc-
casion. He mentioned some of the
characteristics Of a good landlord,
among which were good business
ability and constant solicitation for
the comfort and we'll being of his
guests. He was convinced that Mr..
Snyder possessed these qualities in
a high degree and that the success
of Hotel Warren was assured. He
closed by asking everybody to raise
their glasses filled with pure spring
water and drink to the health of
landlord Snyder, and the success
of Hotel Warren.
At this juncture Mr.. Snyder was
called upon. He arose and said
that he was proud to be the sue
cessor Of such a well known and
popular hotel man as Col. A. p.
Mcintyre, Of the old Windsor, on
the site Of which the new hotel is
erected. Both he and Mrs. Snyder
had fallen in love with our beauti-
full city upon their first visit and
have never regretted coming here.
With the cooperation of the good
people Of Warren he was confident
that the venture would be a success,
and he thanked the stockholders for
the good will and interest they have
shown in promoting the enterprise.
No effort would be spared by either
himself or wife to make it a sue
Cess.
Mrs. D. Farrell responded grace
fully and in we'll chosen words to
the toast "Our Iandlady'. She al
