SPEAKING OF A HOTEL

The Observer man was talking to a
young man employed in one of the
business houses here one night re
Gently and the conversation turned
to the hotel project. This young man
said, in part: "There are at least fiji
teen young fellows like myself, who
are obliged to rent rooms, and it is
safe to say that practically every one
of them would have a room in the ho-
tel if there was good one here
equipped with modern conveniences,
baths in the rooms, etc. That would
dispose of fifteen rooms at once, so a
thirty room hotel would hardly be
large enough for the trade that would
come almost Immediately" Another
man said that he thought "a fifty
room hotel would be full every night"
| Logan is the center of considerable
pure bred live stock industry now and
others are going into the business
These breeders attract trade to the
town and there should be a place
where these men from distant points
could secure good accommodations
when they come here. The stock men
and breeders have right to ask that
Logan provide such accommodations
One of the breeders of fine hogs who
is soon to have a sale, says in his
catalogue: "All out-of-town visitors
will find accommodations at our ex-
pense either at Hotel Castle in Oma-
ha, or the Grand Hotel in Council
Bluffs. . We have no hotel
in Logan"
How long does Logan propose tc
allow this condition to endure? -Lo.

EXCHANGE KEEPS ON
SINKING.

New York, Jan. 26.--Another crash
of international rates caused British,
French and other forms of foreign
exchange to drop to new low levels
of depreciation here today. Bankers
and other dealers in foreign bills ex-
pressed no surprise at the further
generalization, accepting the situa-
ton as an inevitable and logical out
come Of conditions from which no i'm
mediate relief is promised.
/; Offerings for account Of American
interests were said to comprise only
a small part Of the whole, most of
the pressure being traceable to Lon
don. According to bankers reports,
French and Italian selling via Lon
don, helped to longest the local mar
ket.
Demand sterling dropped to 1888,

der the par Of $4.S6%. France sag
ged to the equivalent of 8 cents,

A NEW BUSINESS FOR MISSOURI
VALLEY.

We wish to announce new bust
ness for Mo. Valley. This is made up
of two young fellows who have been
in the tire. business for about seven
years in Omaha and who are very
familiar with the different brands of
tires on the market, their construc-
ton and how to make satisfactory re-
pairs.
Mr.. Hart. who will be in charge of
the repair department, learned his
trade in Akron, Ohio, in the largest
tire factory in the world. and during
the recent war, was instructor in the
tire repair school at Minneapolis,
MINI. Mr.. Hart now operates a large
repair shop in Omaha, the only shop
equipped to repair the large pneumat-
ic truck tires. This shop is being
turned over to his brothers who are
also tire repair men with less expert
ence.
Mr.. Silk, who was at one time a
resident Of Mo. Valley. connected with
the musical team of Baisden & Silk,
entered the tire business in Omaha in
1913, operating the Giant Tire & Rub
Der Co. until JAM, 1919, when he con-
nected with the Sprague Tire & Rub
Der Co. at Omaha, in the sales depart
ment. Mr.. Silk is very familiar with
the trade in this territory and is
positive healthy business from the
surrounding territory can be gotten.
The firm will be known as "The
Tire Shop" and will handle an ex-
elusive line of Diamond Tires, also an
up-to-date stock of accessories. The
Diamond Rubber Co.. Akron. Ohio,
has granted Mr.. Hart and Mr.. Silk
very good proposition to distribute
their tires in the territory surround
ing which will take in about five coun-
ties. Mo. Valley is an ideal place to
carry on jobbing business, as it is
two hours closer than Omaha and
much better service can be given deal
ers in the vicinity.
They have secured the building on
Erie street now occupied by the Wear
U-Well shoe store.

LAWYERS LEAD LIST OF s.121
SUICIDES.

New York, Jan. 27.-Since the sign
ing Of the armistice there has been
a constantly increasing number of
suicides everywhere, according to a
report issued today by the Save-A-
Life League. In Germany, Russia,
Syria and other foreign countries
where the number has been very
large, the cause is attributed to des-
pair because of miserable living con-
ditions brought about by the war.
The report tabulates 5,121 cases of
suicide in the United States, during
1919. OF the professions, lawyers led
the list, with AZ, Of whom 12 were
judges; So victims were physicians,
28 teachers and II clerymen. The
list included 20 presidents of large
business concerns, and so prominent
club members, millionaires and
wealthy society women. Unhappy
martial relations were responsible for
$50 tragedies.
Men outnumber women 1897 to
1857, but of the child suicides 252
were girls and 225 boys. Newspaper
editors appeared to be immune.

MORE ROOM FOR
HIGH SCHOOL IS
NEED-M MITCHELL
Principal Declares New Addition
to School Only Solution; More
Than 100 Enrolled in Ex-
cess Last Year.

Lanson D. Mitchell, principal Oh
the Chickasha high school, has sent
out another S. O. s. call. This call
asks for more room at the high
chool.
All classrooms are crowded with
the largest enrolment in the history
of the school-340 students, more
than 100 in excess of the enrolment
asst year, Principal Mitchell says.
Construction OF an addition to the
high school building is the only per
nanent solution of the situation
Mr.. Mitchell believes.
Glasses in Latin, geometry, Eng
,ish, physics, chemistry, commercial
science and home econimics are
arger than they ever were before
Vocational agriculture and normal
raining courses are not so popular,
according to the school officials.
French classes also are small. Span
ish and Latin are the most popular

Washed Away by Canadian Re
ports State; River is Re-
ported Be Receding.

That traffice between Chickasha
and Oklahoma City, via Blanchard
and Norman, will not be normal for
several weeks was indicated yester
day with reports that three more
sections of the McClain-Cleveland
county bridge over the South Can.
adam river near Norman had been
washed out by the flood waters.
The spans were carried away des
spite the work of N. e Wolford
county engineer of Cleveland county
and his corps of assistants, who
battled with the drifts that collected
about the piles, reports declare.
1t was apparent yesterday that
the rise was subsiding and workers
believe they will be able to save the
remaining spans.
The first section of this bridge
went out Thursday forenoon just as
thre cars OF tourists had crossed. A
major portion of the bridge, extend
ing from the Cleveland county side.
was constructed of cement and iron
but the west end where but little
current ever flowed, was finished
with wooden piling. When the rise,
caused by the recent rains in the
western portions of the state hegan
to bring heavy trees and sections of
buildings down Wednesday night, the
current shifted over to the west side
and large drifts collected.
Work on rebuilding the bridge will
be started as soon as the river
reaches its normal. number of the
highways running to points in the
southern and southwestern part Of
the state are routed through Nor
man and across in McClain county
over this bridge. Wolford will make
an effort to secure federal aid in
repairing the bridge, which was
built by contributions from Norman
and McClain citizens, and then
turned over to the two counties. II
federal aid is secured, the wooden
piling will be replaced with rein
forced concrete.
Traffic between Chickasha and
Oklahoma City via Blanchard and
Norman, is being detoured by way
of Purcell and Lexington.

gate approximately $4,000, 100000.
Failure to dispose of the segregat-
ed coal lands of the Choctaw-Chick-

is his intention to have this act so
modified that small coal operators
may become bidders for some of
these tracts.
