month he visitors to this city have flocked into in-to that extent that people have begun to wonder if this thing keeps upwhere the accommodations are to be found Hotel men smile and rub their hands in delight at the present condition of affairs and future prospects They are satisfied and contemplate the harvest in store for them during the coming summer and autumn Some of thorn say they are crowded now but are willing will-ing to be still more strained others remark re-mark that they are not yet so full that they cannot accommodate more In view of this state of hotel accommodations accom-modations and the talk by everybody of an increased influx of tourists and visitorstransient and permanent HERALD reporter made the rounds of the hotels yesterday to ascertain if possible tho correct status in the matter mat-ter of hotel accommodations The newspaper man of course had no particular par-ticular object other than to gratify his own curiosity aud set at rest his doubts as to the rumors which have been flying around in this regard and which have been associated by some with the necessity for increased hotel accommodations accom-modations and facilities Those most disinterested he thought in a new notel of extensive dimensions would be those in the business at present and whatever their views wore would probably be of account to those contemplating con-templating erecting a large hotel Hence the tour AT THE CONTINENTAL Mr Van Home was found at his post engaged in attending to the wants of a gentleman about to leave He stated to the inquiring reporter that his house was full and that recently he had turned away several who baa made application ap-plication for rooms If necessaryhe continued I have plenty of yard space in the rear and lots of hall room Mr Van Home has us yet made no special rates for any one or any party desiring accommodations and did not expect to He had his figures and would maintain them Asked as to what he thought would be the result with hotel keepers if a thousand or so of tourists were landed here within the next few months he replied that he hardly knew but thought they would be able to find rooms somewhere TilE WALKER Mr Erb stood at the office desk when the reporter entered the Walker House On being approached on the subject of accommodations he responded cheer fullyand stated that his house was full lie began to say to the interviewer that if the present rate of increase of guests kept up for a short time his accommodations accommo-dations would exhausted and was on the point t of adding a remark that he wouldnt know what to do when a bus loaded down to the guardsdrove up and he finished his sentence with I dont know what were going to do with these And then as he tore himself away to attend to the new arrivals he remarked hurriedly Its no use discussing dis-cussing the matter now we want more and better accommodations If The business busi-ness Mr Erb said was much batter now than it was this time last year THE CULLEN wasnt crowded Mr Ewing said when the itemizar accosted him There had not been a time so far he added when he could not find places for all who applied ap-plied The reporter suggested that with the anticipated arrivals everybody was talking of his accommodations might sustain somewhat of a strain to which he returned the remark that he was willing to be strained he had plenty of cots and spots to place them Mr Ewing appeared to have little confidence confi-dence in the talk of needed hotel accommodations ac-commodations as he imagined it was being done by interested parties There had been none turned from his door as yet and he didnt expect that there would be AT TilE CLIFf Andy Brixen was so completely occupied in rooming a lot of fresh arrivals that he could scarcely find time to devote to the Faber pusher He did however stop tong enough to impart some little information in-formation concerning his house It was full he stated but he added I manage to turn no one away By douoling up and using cots I can fix for them But supposing the arrivals increase to the extent people are talking about 1 asked the journalist If as many come as folks say are coming why I dont know what will be done Ive got place and accommodations accommo-dations for 125 guests and have had that number right along most of them are transients Now here he continued con-tinued sixteen went away this morning morn-ing and twenty have come in just now And thats the way it goes This town cant accommodate more than about 500 or GOO people And with that he rushed off to direct a new comer to his apartment up stairs THE WHITE HOUSE Mr Podlech stated that he had plenty of room and always had had He did not take much stock in the street rumors about tho numbers who were heading this way from the east but if they did come he conceded that there would necessarily have to be more accommodations With a significant wink he added there is considerable talk of people coming here but theyre not here yet THE METROPOLITAN managed by Mr W H Ditmer was also full and cots were being used I every night The gentleman said he 1 contemplated puting out a lot of cots on the lawn close by and give his guests outdoor accommodations What this town wants the gentleman gentle-man said as he moved off to order a couple of carriages for some of his guests is a threehundredroomed d i Sl > i firstclass hotel firstclass in every particular Yes added a gontleman who was standing by a fourhundred roomed house wouldnt be any too big THE ST JAMES like the rest is also filled and the junior Mr Greenwald who was manipulating manip-ulating the business in the absence of his father on being told by the reporter re-porter that there was talk in some quarters of another hotela mammoth concern said Thats right THE PALACE run as it is on the European and American plan where guests come and go after a very brief stay is in the same condition as the majority of the other housesfilled yet the landlady observed to the reporter that there was aople accommodation for more Thus it will be seen there can be no escaping the fact that the hotel accm modations of Salt Lake City while at present answering the demands will be inadequate ore long With the reduced re-duced railroad rates for excursion parties the interest said to be taken by investors and travelers of tne east in Utah and her resources the certain coming hither ot hundreds to investigate investi-gate the attractions of this ssctioi the growth of population and the advertising advertis-ing now being ont out to draw the attention at-tention of out idcrs to tho advantages here of climate tcenery and possibilities possibili-ties there will be an influx which will demand more and better hotel facilities than can now be given The remark of the gentleman by manager of the Metropolitan Metro-politan that athrcsnundrcdroomed firstclass hotel 13 what is needed here can be echoed and reechoed by many and those many are not interested in-terested parties either It is the opinion opin-ion of intelligent observing men that Capital could be put to good use in the erection of a model structure In the hands of a capable management with appointments of firstclass order a threehundredroomed hotel could be made successful |
