W. M. Pierce, who announces that
Moose Lodge probably will buy Hot
Lake.
Walter M. Pierce, principal owner
of Hot Lake, one the most famous
resorts in the United States, who was
in Oregon City Thursday night, an
nounced that arrangements had about
been completed to sell the prop
erty to the Moose Lodges of the
northwest. The resort is in Union
County, 300 miles east of Portland
in the O. W. R. & N. Railway. Mr.
Pierce said the price would be in the
neighborhood of $450,000.
The plan to buy the property was
approved by the Oregon City Lodge
at a meeting Thursday eevning, which
was attended by Mr. Pierce. It has
been approved by Portland Lodges
and other Oregon Lodges. The plan
is to make the resort a home for in
digent members of the order, and to
conduct the place for the benefit of
other persons the same as it has been
in the past.
"If the proposition is consummated,"
said Mr. Pierce, "Hot Lake will soon
become as famous as Hot Springs in
Arkansas. It is an ideal place for a
sanitorium. Three million gallons of
boiling water comes from one spring
daily."
Mr. Pierce said that the company,
of which he is head, had spent about
$500,000 on the property. There are
60,000 members of the Moose order
in the Northwest and about 600,000
in the United States.

ESCALATORS AT HILL
The councill cimmittee, which is
making preliminary arrangements for
an elevator at the hill, authorized by
the people at the last city election,
has decided not to recommend the
installation of escalators. The cost
of escalators would not be only larger
than that of an elevator, but a repre
sentative of the Otis Elevator Com
pany has informed the committee
that escalators would not be practi
cable. The committee will hold ai
meeting the first of next week and
probably will make a report at the
council meeting Wednesday evening.

DELECATIOSS APPEAL TO COMMITTEE
Chairman Announces that Amount
Will be as Nearly Adequate
as can be Giv.
en
SALEM, Or., Jan. 30. (Special.)
Delegations from Portland and 27
other cities and towns in Oregon to
night took Salem by storm, captured
the State House and held it until they
had assured the members of joint
Senate and House committee on ways
and means that the state will support
an appropriation of between $300,
000, and $500,000 for the adequate
representation at . the Panama-Pacific
Exposition.
Unbounded enthusiasm prevailed
from the time the various delegations
from the state reached Salem until
the speakers presented the different
sections and said their sections of
the state would stand by the Legis
lature in an adequate appropriation
and had taken their night trains for
home.
The largest delegation was that
from Portland, but it was by no means
more in earnest or more enthusias
tic than the others. Every one pres
ent seemed filled with the desire to
have Oregon represented at the great
exposition in San Francisco in 1915
and all were outspoken in the belief
that anything in the way of so-called
economy at this time undoubtedly
would mean a very poor idea being
conveyed to the world as to the in
terest of Oregon people in what was
declared to be a celebration of one
of the greatest achievements in his
tory, the completion of the big canal
that is to bind the Pacific to the At
lantic and bring the Coast into its
own.
At the conclusion of the meeting
which was held in the House cham
ber, and at which State Senator Per
kins, of Multnomah County, presided,
he pledged himself and the members
of the committee on ways and means
to an appropriation as nearly ade
quate as can consistently be made,
taking info consideration the many
things for which funds will be ask
ed this session. Great cheers greet
ed his statements, and the various
delegations left amid enthusiasm. V

ing he was fined $5, which he peyed.

Southern Pacific Station by the same
officers and placed under arrest. He
was released under $5 bail and order
ed to appear Thursday afternoon
which he failed to do, forfeiting his
bail.
LADIES' AID GUEST
OF
The Ladies Aid Society of the
Congregational Church of Parkplace
was entertained Wednesday afternoon
by Mrs. Joseph Brunner at the church.
The afternoon was pleasantly spent

SENATOR SCORES ELECTRIC CHAIR
Schuebel 10-Hour Law Is Considered
by Senate Committee Eight-
Hour Bill Thought
Doomed
C. Schuebel, Clackamas County Rep
resentative, whose bill making 10
hours maximuni for work in mills
and factories may be substituted
for Senator Dimick's eight-hour
bill..
SALEM, Jan. 30., (Special.) When
Senator Dimick's bill relating to chang
ing the boundaries of incorporated
cities and towns is reported out of
the Senate committee, it will receive
an unfavorable report from Senators
Joseph and Lester and Senator Kella
her will submit a minority report.
The bill has for its purpose, in sub
stance the proposition that the mills
across the river from Oregon City
may be taken into the city limits of
Oregon City. This would mean that
these mills would be taxed as a part
of the city property.
The majority of the committee will
report -enfarvorably on the' bill."r Kella-"
her, however, intends to present a
strong minority report which will
mean that the bill will be fought out
in the Senate on the proposition that
the minority report be substituted
for the majority report.
Dimick today also took a central po
sition in fighting the move to change
the noose for the electric chair in
carrying out capital punishment. He
declared strongly in favor of hang
ing and against the expense of install
ing an electric chair. Incidentally he
took a fling at Governor West for
commuting the sentence of Jesse
Webb, asserted that crime has been
fostered because of Webb's sentence
was commuted and 'avowed that the
only deterrent to capital crime is to
carry out the punishment which is
prescribed by law.
The Schuebel 10-hour law - which
passed the house Wednesday was
subjected to a severe grilling at the
hands of the Senate committee to
night. Many of the. delegation which
appeared here before the committee
which was considering the Dimick
eight-hour bill were here tonight. It
is probable that the Dimick bill will
be defeated in the Senate and an ef
fort will be made to carry the 10-hour
bill in place of the eight-hour bill.
HOME RULE BILL LOST.
LONDON, Jan. 30. After a four
days' discussion the House of Lords
rejected the home rule bill tonight
326 to 69. The speeches aroused little
interest because, as the Earl of Hals
bury pathetically observed, the posi
tion of the House was now that of
an ordinary debating club the peers
could express their views and reject
the bill, but they could not prevent it
from passing.
