GRAZING LAND FOR SALE
The increased number of American
women going overseas with relief
organizations lias made it necessary
for the'American Y. W. C. A. to take
over a large house, one block from
Hotel Petrograd, the Y. W. C. A.
Hostess House in Paris, for addition
al housing space.
Groups ot forty and fifty Red
CroBs nurses, canteen and social
workers have had to be turned away
from the hotel almost daily for the
lack ot space during the past two
months.
Hotel Petrograd, which was open
ed ln December for the purpose ot
caring for these American women
while they were awaiting orders to
their posts, has accommodations for
200 women, and has become the Am
erican center in Paris. The new an
nex will be Just a rooming house.
There will also be a tea-room.
French people are no longer allow
ed to get any meal, save tea, at the

large enough to accommodate all of
the Amelcan men and women" who
throng there for American cooked
meals. Frequently the line extends
from the dining room door Unuugu

Concerts and lectures by famous
musicians, authors, and writers of
the allied countries are daily oc
curences at the Petrograd. Miss
Mary George White of Baltimore is
director ot the hotel.
supplies for the concrete base are on
the ground and will be put into the
structure at once.
There will be 10,000 feet ot fir tim
bers as well as the cement structure,
and some of these timbers will be IS
by 16 inches and 28 feet tn length.
These timbers are being sawed by
the Demarts mill on McKay.
The tank when completed will be
E5 feet in height, and will be supple
mented by the tank already in use in
case of necessity. The present struct
ure haa a capacity of 96,000 gallons.
The new structure is of stave con
struction and will cost aproximately
$6,000 when completed.
The entire arrangement Is tempor

CROOK COUNTY OFFERS
ASSISTANCE TO PORTLAND
W. 8. 8.
SCHOOL NOTES
In view of the tact that Crook
county is always one of the first in
the state to go over the top in war
drives, and that Portland is always
the last point in the state to report
over, regardless of the fact that the
metropolis Is receiving more benefit
from war work than all other parte
of the state combined, the following
telegram was sent to Portland head
quarters ot Liberty Loan workers on
Tuesday:
"We notice by the Portland press ,
that Portland is having difficulty in
making up Fourth Liberty Loan quo
ta. We have some available speak
ers and will send assistance If neces
sary. If the situation really demands
It we wi'.l send our "Blue Birean.
In response to the above, county
chairman T. M. Baldwin received a
reply thanking the local committee
for the offer of assistance, but to date
no call has been made for the assist
ance offered. It is to be hoped that
Portland makes her quota by tomor
row night, as Crook county surely
will do. .
