the dining room of the Hotel
Tualatin will close for the sum

Foote notifies the public that on
May 18th the hotel will not serve
meals and the dining room is to
be closed until next Fall. Mr.
Foote says that inability to get a
cook at a price that will insure
a reasonable profit is his reason
for shutting down the culinary
end of the hostelry. Rooms will
be rented from now on just as in
the past. Twelve steady board
ers are now hunting other places
and the oltl land mark as an eat

Fall. The 11:30 lunch bell will

appointments outside in order to
save travel. It is expected that
at least 200 men will be addetl
to the county draft list.
