The accommodations committee
feels that $2.50 a night for a room

price. Mr.. Tatom said today. MANY
of our public-spirited people are not
charging that much. but. on the other
hand, scme instances of profiteering
have already come to our notice. The
persons who ask IS and Sc night
for rooms do so without the approval
of the accommodations committee.
Those who are charging the reasons

have helped maintain Pendleton's re-

Mr.. Tatom is certain that the re-

tomorrow and Wednesday than 1t has
been, but desires that persons who
have rooms offer them at once.
There is someone at the headquarters
at all hours and by phoning either 1S2
