THE HORNING OREGONIAX, "WEDNESDAY, JULY 7, 1920 13 K x V 450,000 OFFER FOB " PARK 15 ACCEPTED -Portland Country Club Site to "V; Be Bought by City. -FINAL AGREEMENT MADE .Commissioner Pier to Introduce '. Measure ta Council Approval " Already Indicated. The Portland Country club grounds, composed of 82 acres in Rose City park, will soon become a part of the municipal chain of parks. An offer of $50,000 for the property, including all improvements such as the steel grandstand and various bullding8i within the park, was accepted yes-' terday by the directors of the Port land Country Club and Livestock association. i'or months City Commissioner Pier, in charge of the park bureau, .has. been negotiating for the pur chase. The initial price asked for the property did not satisfy Commissioner Pier and the other members of. the city council. Recently, a final offer of $50,000 was made by the city. In addition, the city will pay taxes on the property for 1919 and the balance of an assessment for a trunk sewer. The property has an assessed valua tion of $62,400. The owners of. the property at first asked $40,000 for one-half of the tract. Park Superintendent Keyser al ready has made tentative plans for the development of the new grounds. He plans to hold all pageants in this park in the future, as the grandstand will accommodate 20.000 persons. The Country club park includes a regulation mile racetrack, which is said by horsemen to be the fastest nvle track on the Pacific coast. It is probable that the Multnomah county fair will be held at the Country club In 1921 because of the racetrack. City Commissioner Pier will intro- duce an ordinance to the city council " next week authorising the purchase ,m of the tract. Informally, members of -the city council have already agreed o the purchase. It will be -the only tract, purchased by the council under the authority of the $500,000 bond Issue passed by the people in 1919, which will be more than a play ground, but members of the council feel that the Country club, properly developed, will be berTeficial to all the residents of the city. which was found Sunday night at Seaside was arrested last night.

TOADS REQUIRE ALCOHOL "Soaked" Specimens Suffers From .Effects of Dry Law. DENVER. Gila monsters, spade foot toads, snakes and lizards are among the latest sufferers from the scarcity of alcohol and the difficulty of securing it In Colorado. This was brought out at a meeting of the na tural history branch of the State His torical society in Denver. Attention of the Society has been called-by a state museum visitor to the need of replenishing the alcohol used' to pre serve specimens of amphibious and other families, ranged in long rows of jars on the museum shelves. Earn est discussion of how to meet the problem ensued in the meeting. In spite of careful covering of the jars, evaporation proceeds constantly and refilling of the containers is nec essary. Swifts and snapping turtles, which once were wholly submerged in the precious fluid, are now only "half soaked," and it was agreed that the condition demanded prompt attention. Officers of the society said they realized the need of replenishing the evaporated alcohol, but were ham pered by lack of funds and by the red tape Incident to obtaining a suffi cient quantity in these dry times. In view of the threatened deterioration of the exhibits, however, it wae de cided to authorize an adjustment of the funds that will make possible an emergency purchase of a supply of the spirits.
