DM E OREGON CITY IR8T GRAND COUNCIL HAS Tg MEETING IN PORTLAND AND LAYS PLANS RDER IN STATE IS INDEPENDENT Organization Is Completed and All Members Now Work With Lo cal Officials Rather Than National Heads In a business session of the newly' Instituted Grand Council of Oregon of tho Hoyal Arcanum Thursday after noon, Oregon City waa chosen for tbe stale convention of the order next April and K. E. llrodle, editor of the Morning Kuterprlse, was olecteu grand trustee. Oregon City was chos en tho convention city for 1914 by Jesse llazell, who Is regent of Clack amas county. The grand council of Oregon was In stituted Thursday morning by Su premo Regent Frank H. Wlckersham, the national head of tho order. There are ten lodges In the state and over 1000 members Id Oregon alone. Now that the state organization la complete, the various local lodges will work with the Oregon council in stead of the national officials. This is considered a great advantage as It practically gives the members In this state tbe power of self government. In the words of Supreme Regent Wlckersham. "the Royal Arcanum or Oregon has blossomed from territorial position of statehood. The organiza tion In Oregon Is now a distinct unit a sort of Independent government." It la iilanned to carry on an active campaign for strengthening the body, and work will begin at once. Various committees were appointed to tago up this matter and It is expected that an outline of the campaign will be adopted soon. Thursday evening was spent lnmai- Inir l.r.O new members Into tne oraer. Supremo Regent Wlckersham left for California as soon as me ceremonj v.. romllleted. Tho Royal Arcanum convention will make the second state meeting io be held In this city during the com ing year. A short time ago the WU limteltn Valley Editorial association accepted the Invitation of Oregon City to meet here for Its next convention.

Calavnn, county superintendent of schools, is spelling, llo believes that the aver age child In most of the schools of this and other counties of the state knows less about the proper spelling of most of the common words In the language than about any other sub ject. As a result, he has started a series of old fashioned spelling bees through the county districts and has stirred un considerable rivalry between tho schools that end In matches before large crowds several times during tbe year. One of these bees was held at Hea ver Creek last Friday night. Tho su perintendent pronounced D00 words, all that tho children bad bad in the regular course of their work, and the contests were arranged between the fourth and fifth grades and tbe sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the Heaver Creek and Henricl schools. At the end of the contest about two thirds of the contestants from Henricl were still In the ring and about one half of those from Heaver Creek. Af ter the spelling battle, tbe students of the two schools had an Interesting lit erary program. The children of Parkplace had a de bate the other night on the question, "Resolved, tfcit tho one house legisla ture Is needed in Oregon." Four stu dents were on each side and tbe score was given by points.

Fred Metzner demanded from the street committee whether or not per- n.iBKlr.n had been granted lor tne parking of the street until only 18 feet waa left and what authority the owners had to take that niucn oi tne city's property. Councilman Horton explained that the committee of which he la cnair- man had granted no such permission and that he would at once Investigate the excuse, that they might have to offer for improperjy approgriatins nart of the thoroughfare. The portion to which Councilman Metxner objected was oetween oetouu and Center street, where he says m ot the DrdDerty owners have gone 42 feet out Into the thoroughfare and that they have left only a little aley of what was a 60-foot street. The membera or tne council tuu.u r.ni nee the authority for such an ap- propriatlon and declared mat me i.rnnertv owners of the city have no business to attempt street Improve- ment unless they aro worarog unuer the direction of tho city engiueer or have plans and specifications from hla .hi..
