June, 1021 THE REAL WESTERNER 5 RAMHEAUXS CAFE expect to. We lmve not yet discovered tlio art of running a paper without buying paid suhscrllsrs and we do not expoct Mr. Dlldlno to run the Williams Hotel without paying guestA. We belong to that diiss- of hotel guests and a llttlo matter of a dollar a year for a paper that boost yoijr gome twelve months in the year is not out of tho way for any hold that wants to play the game fairly. Tho meal served at tho eating bouse nt Weiulover, for 75 cents Is first dnss and tho attention and service good.

Its the nearest approach to tho Harvey House system that we found in Wyoming. HOTEL GRAHAM Tlio Hotel Ginlinm, tfio iow flro proof hotel at Sterling, la ono of tlio iileewt nod U'st furnished hotel In tlio west. Tlio hotel lias one hundred good guest rooms, all modern thruout, sixty-six of tlieso rooms have connecting InitliN, and nil of them arc elo-gnntly furnlHhed. Tlio hiilldlng I well located In tlio buxines section of tlio city and Is a well built four story structure with all tlio equipment of full modern hotel and represents an Investment of $230,000. It without question ono of tlio best, hotels In Colorado and fa; better than the majority of hotels In Denver or Colorado Springs.

It easily classes with the Plains at Cheyenne, tlio Clarko at Hastings and the Collins at Stratton, and tlio new hotel now building at McCook. In fact these hotels will bo the nearest competition that tlio Graham will have. Trade to-I day Is learning the location of good hotels and making a point of stopping them. One of tlio fine features of tlio Graham is its elegant suites of connecting rooms, automobllo parties and families, and this feature wll make It very popular with tho traveling public. There are no finer rooms In the west than tho suites at tho Graham' and if you are driving through tho state this yenr, by all moans mnke It.

a point to stay over ono night lioref One stop will load you back again if good treatment means anything. Lobby room and dining room and service are everything that good taste could desire and tho rates are very reasonable. Mr. J. M.

McDonald, proprietor of tho Graham is a hotel man pf a god many years experience and spares no pains to make ills guests comfortable. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald personally supervise everything about the hotel and things move like clock work around the Graham. The Real Westerner recommends the Graham as unquestionably being the best hotel In Northern Colorado.

HOTEL CHAT We are thoroughly disgusted with the louldorado Hotel at Roulder, Colo. It has been and could still be one of the best hotels In the state If its management could learn something besides grafting the public. The poorest room that we have had in Colorado in years we had handed us by the Houlderado last month.

Make offer. R. E. Farris, Haxtun, Colo. There are a lot of hotels and restaurants for sale today and plenty of buyers looking for them.

A small add in The Real Westerner will put you in touch with the deal that you are looking for. Try it. Tho La Route Hotel nt Douglas, is a typo of a good tlireo story hotel that was built for a modern plant nnd overlooked nn elevator. No hotel with three or more stories today is modern without elevator service. The days of stairways for guests in three or four story hotels is passed.

Hotel conditions at Stratton, aro very much improved on tlio old stuff there. Its not nenrly as hard to get a room at a hotel now as It was last year, nor Is it going to be. The plain truth is that there are not and will not be as many commercial and land men "out tlibeyear as last, and the days of sticking them four in a room at $1.50 per head for Just four barren walls are happily passed. hotels that have real accommodations will get busy with some advertising campaigns If they attract any trade and the balance 'will stand a fine chance of closing up or running behind. Over 2,000 hotels are on the paid subscription lists of The Real How about your hotel? AVe' are always glad to say good things about the good hotels and wo hope the ddy will soon come when we can call them all good, but we have no intention of doing so unless' they deserve it.

There are several specie of human hogs that stop at hotels and the hotel man is perfectly justified In charging extra whenever one of these brutes Titters up, his room and destroys the furnishings. Any good hotel is entitled charge of 25 to 50 cents extra for a room used by a. cigarette fiend, even then it will be hard to play even with the damage they do in burning holes' in rugs and bedding and-littering up the room'- No real man can expect to have all this extra damagq stood by hotels scott free. to va' The reservation in Estes Park regions already filed for the summer season are the largest on record, which shows that the tourist and hotel business this summer will be very large and the hotels will do capacity business. If you are along an auto highway try and get into the game and take care of some of this business.

The hotel man who never advertises has nr reason to expect the traveling public to know that he is In the game. Hotel business doesnt just happen but comes to the man who has the nerve to prepare to take care of it properly and spend a little money telling the public about that preparation. The egg market is rather low these days but wff notice that quite a number of cafes still get $1.50 a dozen for them in'Vpite of the fact 'that thev have reduced the waiters wages to former levels. Quinter, Is in the market for a good new modern 25 room hotel and its business men will get behind any hotel man who will undertake its erection and management Canfield Hotel Tears Akii. -J modern conveniences, scientific care; Battle Creek Dietary System In Kitchen and Dining Rooms.

HOUGHLAND Goodland, Kansas THE CITY CAFE BURLINGTON, COLO. Bet'ter Food Service THE LINCOLN HOTEL OF SCOTTS-RLlFF, NEB. AVe had the pleasure of spending a Sunday at this fine new hotel recently. Tljere Jire a lot of good things about The Lincoln and a number of just criticisms on Its arrangement. The present managements and service is fine and as good as it could be with the arrangement of the rooms.

The plan of the Lincoln hotel building seems to have been made with the Idea of seeing just how much rental space could be figured in on the two lower floors for outside businesses, to help the rental account. The lobby has a very good corner but the dining room Is a sad mistake In the way the architect shoved it into a dark corner and attempted to make daylight by artificial lveans. One cannot bar the pleasing effect of outside windows from a hotel dining room without hurt-ing It. The-crowding of so many rental rooms into tho building has greatly lessened the number of guest rooms, cutting the number down to about seventy, where the impression that one gets from the outside of the building Is that It has at least Che hundred. Its not possible or desirable to run banks, land offices, shops and all other lines of business in a hotel jjuildlng and not crowd the room that is needed for guestsjn a town like Scottsbluff.

Of course' the Lincoln 'is a far better class hotel than tlie ordinary email town can boast of having and is a very valuable asset to its home town, but we can see where it might have been much better had tile hotel idea and -ijJ'the rental Income been the para-1 mount idea with the builders. The new management of the Lincoln Is fine and the prices reasonable for the accommodations and wilt" without doubt get the place the capacity business that it HOTEL SIDNEY, SIDNEY, NEB. The, Hotel Sidney at Sidney, while not large is adandy little place, with good1 clean rooms and comfortable beds at reasonable "Landlord Klein and wife personally oversee tho management of tho hotel and look after the comfort of, their guests. You can be certain of a good room and good treatment with these people. Make it a point to stop at the Sidney and give them a trial when in that You will be well pleased.

The Sidney Is European and does ijot run a dining room but there ar good cafes nearby. $10 per week in the best rooms in the house It would be another matter. AVe would stand those holed in the attic, misnamed rooms, and not kick; but anyone that knows Boulder, knows very well that the Boulderado Is not crowded for rooms In April. Give that place the absent treatment on your Colorado trips until" they can learn to hand out a square deal on rooms. They do not seem to care for business anyway.

No attic hole is worth a real room might be worth twice that much and we are handing It to our readers to look out- for the Boulderado. AVe fell for the Citizens Cafeteria while in Boulder, and unfiesi-. tatingly recommend it. The food and the service are both excellent and the charges very moderate. Put it on your list and try it when in Boulder.

The Imperial Hotel at Jongmont, is serving some of the best meals that you will find on the trip around the horn. The food is good and abundant and the service excellent. Try them next trip. Loveland, is fortunate in having two good hotetC the Lovelander and. the Lincoln, either one first class and giving good service at reasonable rates.

Jhe Northern, at Fort Collins, was at one time one of the best and most modern hotels orC the horn trip, but the world grows and modern hotels keep pace with the growth of other things. As good a city at Ft. Collins should have a more modern ajid up-to-date hotel than the Northern. II. J.
