Only Governor Benson Gets Invitation to Meet Taft at Portland. SALEM .Ore., Sept. 29. No state official has received an invitation to attend the ceremonies to be held in Portland Saturday and Sunday of this week in bonor of President Taft, ex cept Governor Benson. The lone in vitation to the governor from the Portland commtltee, was very formal. It was a blank invitation in which the governor's name was written. Chief Justice, Frank A. Moore, has not received an Invitation, even to meet Taft or to ride In the parade Saturday. State Treasurer George A. Steele, and Superintendent of Public Instruction, J. II. Ackerman were Ig nored. Other members of the Supreme court and Btate officials were over looked. Governor Benson was asked to de clare Saturday a holiday throughout the state In honor of Taft visiting Portland, but declined, giving as a reason that the day was a half holi day In courts and It would only serve to suspend legal business entirely that day. In a communication received yes terday from the manager of the As toria high school football team. La Grande is offered a good proposition for a Thanksgiving game on the lower Columbia city. The question of ac cepting the game cannot be definitely settled until negotiations now pending with Hill's Military academy at Port land are closed. If the desired game with the Portland team Is secured an attempt will be made to settle upon a different date with Astoria. For the past two .evenings there has been two full teams out practic ing on the local gridiron. The , best scrimmage of the season Is expected this afternoon. The new suits were taken up to the school today and two fully equipped teams will be put through a hard scrimmage by Coach Wall. - "v. ' A v - V -, -t . (t '-. . .iJ.i m ' ' - "-...v:. f h v r MR. OLIVER J. Ef KIIARDT. Who appears with his own com pany at the Steward Oiera house for one week's engagement, commencing Monday night, October 4th, belong to the new school cf actors. The new school Is really the oldest school of all, but it is the afshlon to say that the actor makes a departure, whose methods are natural, whose eyes are always turned on truth .and whose greatest triumphs are the" picturing humanity as it is, and the expressing of the greatest emotions without the resort to vecal or gesticular exagger ation. Such an actor is Oliver J. Eckhardt. Young as he is he has learned the technique of his art In the best academy the actor can com mand the theatre. Sir. Eckhardt needs no introduction to La Grande audi ences, as he has been seen here be fore and we know what to expect. PRESIDENT DINES OX HEAR. iContiuued From PKe One. etc., to the long programs and lor.g auto rides and drives. At Spokane yesterday he voiced his protect r.t both luncheon and dinner, because ha was called upon to speak after beins; assured that he would not bo expect ed to say anj thing. H? s:Ud: "A prom ise is always exacted, alwav ;iven, and always violated." Later at din ner he voiced his disapproval of the arrangements that forced him to talk a long day of talks. The guests at the banquet thought the president was joking and chuckeled with joy, but no Jest was intended. In addition to the orders, the president ha3 directed that all meals served in his honor must be as simple as possible. All mysterious foreign dishes must be eliminated and all Indigestible foods. Indigestion is a bugbear that the president fears. If hl3 dicestive apparatus gives out, Taft knows that it will mean the end of his trip. Taft Finds Swet'thcart. An old sweetheart of President Taft called on him at the train today, and afterward was given a pretty compliment by the president from the speaker's stand. She Is Mrs. Hodges, the wife of a prosperous farmer here, who was formerly Betty Evans, of Cincinnati. Her visit de layed the program minutes. Taft said: "I found an old sweet heart hero. You don't know wLo she is, and won't tell you, but ihe 1b sorn to be one of the most prosperous firm era In this section. I know if she cult'vates th good will of the fruit a she d!d ttat of men In my nfllijh'jorhood. 1 ill be most suc t earful."
