NEW YORK, Ian. SIT was said

The plan was put forth by a we'll
known suffragi~t Of this city. II was
accepted eagerly by two women to
immediately set about organizing real
expedition and plotting its route on a
map of The United States.
Thus far the originators Of thc

cations. Willie tie i also utilizing The
Oregon to the utmost.
There is no doubt that the hotel ac-
commodationS are now far ahead OF
most cities Of this size. but the con
ditionS here are abnormal. and the de-
mandS on the hotels are five time
as great in proportion to population as
in most places.
The Hotel Oregon when built was
far ahead Of the requirements, but it
took but a short time for the city to
justify its construction, and there is
every reason to believe that a new
hotel of large size would meet the
same experience. even if it should not
be fully occupied at once.
Aside from this need. there is the
great demand for lodging houses and
apartments. which may be built on
small scale. There is probably no bet
ter investment to be found in the val
ley than in this line. and there is
apparently no end to the demand for
them.

The situation as regards the accom-

growing desperate The condition Is
growing worse every day, simply be
cause the crowds are getting bigger.
Local hotels are doing everything IN
their power to accommodate the people
coming in. and yet every night there
are many people who cannot get suit
able lodging.
For some time there have been ru-
morS Of new hotel to be built. The
Press knows of nothing tangible in
this connection, and the rumor may be
based simply on the great need that
is manifest, not because the existing

cause the crowds are too great.
