The building is completed and en tirely furnished and already there are 75 girls who . have engaged rooms and are enjoying" the homelike atmosphere. It was back in October, 1887, that a few earnest women met and decided they would form a society whose chief mission it ehould be to look after the interests of the young women wage earners who are strangers in a city. Little children also claimed the heart interest of these women and they founded cooking classes and sewing schools for the tiny tots. For the girls there was built a residence hotel at 610 Flanders street. Larger Quarters Xeeded. Soon the residential part of the city where the building was located shifted and factories encroached, and a need was felt for larger and newer quar ters. To gain this subscribers came forward and promised help. Now, when the society is just 30 years old, the ob ject is attained and will be the inspira tion for the silver tea on Saturday. The rooms are all bright and airy all looking out on a garden or tree tops. There are sunny porches and an inviting garden. The furniture of halls and lobby is in wicker with gay ere tonnes covering the cushions. In the big living-room are comfy Davenports, chairs and couches. The dining-room Is a delight, all finished in ivory white with hangings of chintz in attractive fruit design. 'inere is in audition to the more formal living-room or parlor, a social hall in which there is a piano and vic trola, so the girls may dance and sing and make merry to their hearts' con tent. Girla to Keep Bony, The laundry in the basement and the eewing-room with several machines are ready for the industrious girls who would keep down the high cost of living. Mrs. J. B.

I E Shortage of Funds May Delay Dredging Operations Here. LAST BUDGET EXHAUSTED High Cost of Living and Six Per Cent Tax Limitation Law Con tribute to Troubles of Port of Portland. Financial embarrassment, contribu tary causes of which are the high cost or living and the 6 per cent tax limi tation law. faces the dredging depart ment of the Port of Portland, and there are strong probabilities that all of the four dredges may not be worked the rest of the year. The annual budget of the Commission will probably be passed and the levy made the latter part of November and it appears now as if the total to be raisea lor general purposes will be tsi'J.oii, as compared with $297,740 pro vided for in the last budget for general purposes. That was as much as could be provided for. though the Port Com mission really wanted J344.940. Laiit Budget Exhausted. All of the last budget is exhausted for dredging purposes and the admin istration is running on revenues de riveq irom making fills on shipvard sites, which aggregate $52,737 while from the operations of dredges the re mainder of 1917 at the St. Johns grain cc.aiui cue. it is estimated approx ...aieiy jil'.ooo will be forthcoming trom the Commission of Public Locks ma mat will help meet the expenses, "hen the last budget was compiled tne monthly cost . of operating each i iu-incn dredges, the Tualatin Columbia and Willamette, was $5300 a """.". wr.ue today the estimate is $6000.

In spite of the 6 per cent tax limitation the Commission can levy to take care of bonds and $50,000 that were to have been sold on bids ves terday. the opening of which have been postponed for a day or two, as there was not enough members in the city yest-rday for a quorum, will be pro tected.

Portland ers are probably more interested in co coanut oil because of the increase in receipts of copra that have been pro vided for through the Kaola Company also the fact that glycerine extract is in high demand for, explosives due to the war, so the copra product has taken on a more important value with the pu blic. KIERXAX DIAGONAL PLAXKED Shipyard Has Within 50 Men or Xumbcr Working at Time of Strike.
