THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FTHDAY, JANUARY 2, 1920. SOCIETY GIRLS BRAVE AIR TO KEEP ENGAGEMENTS AT WAVER LEY CLUB. BY. IDEAL WEATEHR Auspicious Sunshine Marks First Day of New Year. FOOTBALL FANS PLEASED fiome Game" Is .Popular Dictum On Harvard Victory -Some Reso lutions Already Broken. 12. S20 IS USHERED IN Without accompaniment of baccha JIbji revel, or aught of that wild aban don that was the customary greeting" Cf old, a stranger from the house of centuries came yesterday to visit the "world for a twelve-month, in the per son of the New Year, 1920, whose of ficial entitlements are "Happy," Glad" and "Gladsome." To Portland the New Year brought auspicious sunshine a typically clear. srolden day of mid-winter, with a hint of shrewdness In the wind that drove away the last trace of cloud mid fog and lifted Mount Hood up from the blue distance as though the fine old peak were just a little way across lots. Hut the city, as the metropolis of Oregon, gave little thought through morning and early afternoon to any thing eave the gridiron classic under contest at Pasadena, Cal., where the stalwarts of the University of Oregon were matched in battle with the huge Harvard eleven. Tense with interest, fans to the last citizen, the Portland populace waited for word of the great game. "Some Game! Popular Dlctam. "Some game!" was the popular dlc tam when it became known that Ore gon had almost taken the measure of the Harvard eleven and that the final score stood but 7 to 6 in favor of the surprised easterners, who came so near to defeat that the pluck and capability of the Oregon stalwarts rank the local eleven aa among the foremost in America. Aside from the interest In the foot ball classic, far away in Pasadena, local observance of the New Year was confined to attendance at the Mil waukee boxing programme and to a greneral holiday that closed the stores and shops and swept the streets al most clear of autos and pedestrians. To enthusiasts of the duck hunt the first day of 1920 brought deprivation of their favorite sport for many a leng month to come. The season closed on the last day of the old year in Multnomah, Clatsop, Tillamook and Columbia counties and in all Eastern Oregon counties, with the remaider of the western counties privileged to Continue the hunt until January IE. Many Resolutions Broken. New Year's resolutions, like pie crusts and promises, are not infre quently broken, say tobacconists, who assert that at least with regard to the soothing weed the flesh and spirit are alike weak to resist. And thus it was, beyond doubt, that many a fine resolve, taken as the old year expired, literally went up in smoke quite early In the morning of January 1. "For a day or so after each New Year," said one cigar store proprie tor, "we always notice a slight slack ening in business and miss a number of familiar every-day faces from the ranks of our regular patrons. But It never seems to last. By far the greater part of them are back again before the resolution is a week old. The least we can do for the poor duf fers is not to Josh them about It." Hotels Attract Dinner Gariti, If the New Year's day itself was a quiet one, the midnight that ushered it in bore at least a pale resemblance to the days of yore. All the down town hotels were thronged with din ner guests, watching for the advent of 1920, andi with serpentine, dancing and loganberry juice the revelers managed to extract enjoyment from toe iestlval. Music and singing greeted the New Year at the auditorium in a pro gramme that lasted from 10 o'clock Wednesday till the stroke of mid night. Several hundred attended the watch party. An organ concert by Frederick W. Goodrich and commu nity singing led by W. H. Boyer were the main features of the programme. At trie birth or the year 1920 the American Legion gave a midnight matinee at the Hellig to a capacity audience. Entertainers and manage ment of the Heilig volunteered their services and the big playhouse for the benefit of a fund for the relief of needy ex-service men.

"One's about as safe aa the other, and this certainly Is speedier," he said as he climbed In the airship. The Journey ended with the nose of the airplane buried In the mud of the Guild's lake landing field. With ths exception of a badly wrecked pro peller, no damage was done, either to machine or occupants. A marshy section of the landing field, where soft mud was more than a foot in depth, was responsible for a landing which was reminiscent of the familiar movie "crash." The tall of the plane was at an angle of 46 de grees to the ground, but aviator and passenger were securely strapped In place. As with the trans-Atlantic fliers who landed in an Irish bog, the wheels of the plane mired, as the machine swept down into what would hare been a perfect landing had the ground been hard, and the plane plunged forward on its nose In the mud. Passengers in the airplanes were the guests of Oliver K. Jeffrey. Ches ter G. Murphy and Howard Charlton of the plane company. - ' Ms ' Cloudless ekles. crystal-clear, air end a snappy breeze that made the planes rock and plunge combined to make New Year's day a memorable one for the Portland folk who ven tured the air trip between the land ing field at Guild's lake and the "Waverley Country club grounds yea rday as uest of the Oregon, "Wash ington & Idaho Airplane company. Miss Harriet Cumming and Mrs. Irv ing Lupton in a plane piloted by Lieu tenant Victor Vernon, and Miss Al berta Bair in the machine of Pilot J. I. Hill, were three young women who reported the journey exhilarating In the extreme. The flights were a feature of the annual house warming at the Waver, ley club. The fair passengers - were taken to the country club from the city In less than 20 minutes, in time to keep engagements made. During the afternoon many club gueeta were taken for brief flights. Though it was intended to take out a seaplane and three land machines, flelay in tuning up the motors led to only two land Curtis planes being Used. The women -were 'fascinated with tTse ride, for the clear day permitted them to see for miles in every direc tion, the enowy peaks of Hood, Jeffer son, Adams, St. Helens, and even Hainler being in bold relief. Miss Cummings and Miss Bair were mak ing their initial flight, and both were anxious to repeat the experience. Mrs. Lupton had been up In a seaplane be fore, but preferred the small land moel In which she made the trip yesterday. "It dips more and Is more "sporty than the boat," she commented as she climbed from the fuselage. Though the air near the ground was quit cold, the fliers reported a warm tratum 2000 feet up.

SUIT TO STOP BONDS ON RAILROAD IS AOAIXST ISSUE OF WARREXTOX. Complaint Charges Illegal Proce dure and Declare Property Would Be Unjustly Taxed. Suit to prevent the city of Warren ton from proceeding- with the. sale of bonds totaling $350,000 for the con struction of a- publio dock and to prevent the city from marketing an other issue of (150.000 for the pur chase of real estate for pier and wharve sites, was filed in federal court Wednesday by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railroad. The complaint recites that the pro cedure followed by Mayor Wilson and the other city officials of Warrenton In passing the necessary ordinances and calling a special bond election was illegal and of no force and ef fect, while the further charge is made that the city of Warrenton Is contem plating paying $1360 an acre for land which it says is worth not more than $350 an acre. The railway corporation says It Is filing the suit to prevent the com pletion of the two bond Issues be cause It owns much property In War renton . which, it alleges, would - be t : Work more K-;t Produce more f : J ".i Save more A vast amount of work now remains to be done which the in tervention of war has necessarily delayed and accumulated, and tho result is that Tery large capital expenditures ought to be made to make np for the , Interruptions inevitably dne to the war and to prepare the rail roads to serve adequately the in creased traffic throughout the country. WALKER D. HINES, Director General of Bailrvadt But we can't continue increasing: our pro duction unless we continue increasing our rail road, facilities. The farms, mines and factories cannot in crease their output beyond the capacity of the railroads to haul their products. Railroads are now near the peak of their carrying capacity. Without railroad expansion more engines, more cars, more tracks, more terminals there can be little increase in production. But this country of ours is going to keep right on growing and the railroads must grow with it. To command in the investment markets the flow of new capital to expand railroad facilities and so increase production there must be public confidence in the future earning power of railroads. The nation's business can grow only as fas as the railroads grow. Jlitiy advutbcnwnt i& published by the.

It is charred that the purchase ol luu acres of land for 1185,009, as proposed by the ctty, would be a direct waste of 1100,000. The city council of Warrenton passed two ordinances providing for the bond issues on October 2, 1919. It then called a special election, which was held November 7, at which time the voters of Warrenton approved the two Issues. The plaintiffs ask that a proposed sale of $160,000 of bonds to Morris Bros, of Portland be halted until the litigation Is settled, and it further asks that the proposed purchase of the 100 acres of land for $135,000 from the D. K. Warren estate be de layed pending a decision of the court as to the merits of the plaintiff com pany's complaint. MAN IS DRUGGED. ROBBED Police Find J. F. Murray Lying in Street at 8 A. M.
