THE HOTEL A COMMUNITY INSTITU-
TION Tho hotel Is tho community's g uoit
chamber. Ity It the stranger knows
tho community best. It Is the gauge
of his judgment of tho town. Iloostcrs
clubs may shoot their heads 'off and
chambers of commerce bill tho uni-
verse advertising thu virtues of tho
town but a rotten hotel will often re-
duce all the shouting to hot air and
boastful posters and circulars to flimsy
paper. Advertising tickles the car but
a slovenly hotel rubs tho skin and turns
tho stomach. IM town's reputation
among strangers id lesa than half the
score. Every town needs a good hotel
for thu sake of its own citizens. It is
needed to relievo tho house-keeper's
nightmare of three meals a day three
hundred and sUty-flvodays in the year
summer and winter week-days and
Sundays holidays and regulars if
you do not think that is a nightmare
ask tho woman who has no dcccntplace
to go out to cat onco in all the year. J
It is needed for dinner parties and bo-I
clal functions and business luncheons !
. ... .... i
ami clui) banquo's. A town is in a
miserable state indeed which has no'
provision for such things except its tho
women "club together" and provide a
picnic spread or as parties must re-
sort to n cheap hash houso.
Some towns have no public place
where n respectable woman can spend
tho night homo towns havo no place
where a man who respoctawhis stothach
cun spend a week-end Soma towns
have so many little starveling joints
calling themselves hotels that no ono
of them can keep a decent room nor
sot a docont table.
What is youranswer? Will tho right
kind of a hotel just happen? Is it
right to leave tho flold open for Tom
Dick and Harry to scramble for all tho
traffic will bear? Is It right to swear
at Tom or Dick or Harry for making a
bad mess of hotel service when tho
community allows Its business thus to
slido? Tom Dick and Harry aro prob
ably doing tho best they can under the
conditions. How do you think a town
should go about getting a first class
hotel and keeping It first cla;? Shall
we discuss this qucstitn again some
day?

LUCKY
STRIKE.
IT'STOASTED'
HE KNEW THE HOPES
Thoro was an old geezer
And he had a lot of sense
Ho startcd-up a business
On a dollar eighty cents.
Tho dollar for stock .
And the eighty for an ad.
Drought him three lovoly dollars
In a day by dad.
Well he bought more goods
And a little more space
And he played that system
With a smile on his face.
Tho customers flocked
To his two-by-four
And soon he had to hustle
For a regular atoro.
Up on tho squaro
Where tho people pass
He gobbled up a corner
That was all tilato glass.
Ho fixed up the windows
- With the best thut he had
And told them all about it
In a palf-pago ad.
Ho soon had 'em coming
And ho never never quit
And he wouldn't cut down
On his ads ono jit.
And he's kept things humping
In the town ever since v
And everybody calls him
The Merchant Priiice.
Somo say it's luck
Hut that's all Lunk-
Why ho was doing business
When times wero punk.
People have to purchase
And tha geezer was wiso
For ho know tho way to get 'cm
Was to advertise. -Good Method

THE first hotel in California! What
a thrilling history it must have had.
Built during the days of the fading
glory of Spain it witnessed the
struggles of pioneers against outlaw
bands and the many other vicissitudes
of frontier life.
It stood through he tumult of the
gold rush and the conflict between
Americans and the Spanish occupants
and still stands amid the supreme
success of that western empire. I

The First in California
THE Pacific Hotel recalls many stirring memories. It is visited by
thousands who are interested in the thrilling history of California.
But ordinarily a hotel does not have this historic background as. an
attraction. It does not depend upon sensationalism but upon the superior
quality of its accommodations.
The Lassen is building hotel history today more and more it is impress-
ing upon the traveling public the fineness of its service. A really fine hotel
is never ostentatious. The; guest has a feeling of perfect satisfaction
there is not an irritating note in the atmosphere.
Not only is the service highly efficient but the hotel location is very
convenient. It is only a minute's walk to the center of the theatre district
and the retail business section.
The unusually moderate rates at the Lassen are significant. They
indicate good management and a desire to cooperate with the traveling
public.
