-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.

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.
