the Neighborhood club for the event.
Tho program was In keeping with
the Century of Progress which, Mrs.
Pierce pointed out, "Implies that
mankind, by making1 use of science
and Invention, can progressively
emancipate ttoelf from plagues, fam
ines and social disasters, and sub
jugate the materials and forces of the
earth to the purpose of life, here
and now." The beginning of the
fourth decade of the 20th century
marks, to a certain extent the com
pletion of the first 100 years of mod
era transportation In the United
States, she added.
Robert Pulton invented the steam
ship to facilitate travel by water.
However, before tho Inception of rail
way travel, settlers had forged across
the continent by horseback.
"Then came the railroads," iMrs,
Pierce said, "and by 1894, 60 years
after Jasen Lee's Journey across em
pty plains, the entire continent was
occupied, and the era of railroad
building was coming to a close with
a network of railroads throughout
the United States.
In 1894 tho automobile was Invent-

ed and Its popularity grew until to- I
day It haa converted trolls of mud
and dust Into broad ribbons of con-!
crete, Macadam end gravel. "Tho ;
automobile haa given a new freedom
for 120 million persons, a control
ovor time and space such as the in
dividual has never known before."
The next step was the develop
ment of the flying machine, a possi
bility which was first realized by
Leonardo da Vinci, a Renaissance
man, but which was perfected and
mode practical by tho Wright bro
thers and their successors.
Mrs. Ralph Badgley traced the de
velopment of the horse as a means
of transportation in a very clever
manner. She told the story from the
viewpoint of the norse, from tho
Atnn Age; through the ages during
which they were used for transporta
tion, for sports and for work.
Miss Mabel Doty, la her inimitable
manner, traced the development of
the train from the Jlrsb railway pas
senger car which was drawn by a
team of homes, the first steam en
gine, "The Stourbridge Lion," down
to the present highly developed
streamline train which will be in La
Grande on April 2. The early trains
did not have Pullman cars, she point
ed out, but the men were housed In
one car and tho women In another
In bunks on which the passengers
sat during the day or stood In the
aisles.
Members of the Neighborhood club
were Invited to Inspect the stream
line aluminum train aud also to at
tend tho semi-centennial celebration
which will be given next) July 21-22,
to observe tho 50th anniversary of
the coming of the railroad.,
During the business session which
preceded the program Mrs. Herbert
Evans and Mrs, John Bennett re
ported on the city playground and
the club pledged financial support
to the enterprise.
Two vocal solos, "Wagon Wheel"
and "The Old Spinning Wheel." were
sung by Raymond O, Williams, ac
companied by Mrs. Williams. Mrs. J.
W. Leon hard t song "Happy Song" and
"When You And E Were Young, Mag
gie," playing her own accompani
ment. Miu. Clyde Selta, Mrs. A. T. Hill
and Mrs. F. A. Bpllng were In charge
of tho social hour during which ten
was served at a tabl0 decorated! with
a luce cover and centerpiece of
spring flowers. Old-fashioned bou
quets in old-fashioned vases decor
ated the ends of tho table. Mrs. Fred
Holmes and Mrs. J. T. Richardson
poured and were assisted In serving
by daughters of pioneers, Mrs. Lee B.
Bouvy. Mrs. George Btmie. Mrs. Stan

For Capital Stock Tax

from two to five cerita per thousand
to meet Japanese competition, and
placed a 30 per cent tax on auto
mata lighters.
The tax on furs valued at 20 or
less was struck out. This was ex
pected to lop off another 4, 000,000
In revenue.
Further excise and nuisance levies
were left untouched because Harri
son said the committee did not wish
to stop proceeds from this source
until the new revenue from the capi
tal stock and excess profits levies be
gins to trickle In after July 1. 1039.
The committee also approved a
flnrrlson amendment Increasing estate
tnxns to a maximum of 60 per cent
If valued at more than 10,000,000.
The commltteo eliminated the
house provision repealing the 3 cent
bank check tax Jan. ., 1035, and al
lowed the present law, wiping out
the levy July 1, 1835, to stand.
The first sav-min In the Willamette
valley was built at Newberg, Oregon,
