most the entire week Will be taken with
these prelminaries and practically no

The house positions are all disposed
of. This has been done the past few
days. There is little room way up In
one of the hotels where these things
have been quietly disposed of where
they would attract little attention. The
work has been done with very little
friction. There are the usual number
OF dissappointments. but that would
happen no matter how the work is
done. For instance, yesterday repre-
sentative came in who had not been able
to come before. He found the house po-
sitions all disposed of. He had 4 can
fifdate for place. He felt somewhat
annoyed because everything was taken.

good job Somewhere and the Slate was
