Christmas Goodies, Feast at Oregom Hotel Bad Theater Parties Are Pro vided for Youngsters. Children from the various children's homes In Portland were given an ad vance celebration of Christmas yester day by the Portland Rotary Club. The celebration lasted all day and evening, ending with a theater party at the Baker, at which the children were the rulers of the balcony and gallery to the extent of more than 1000. At 11 o'clock the children were as sembled by the Rotary Club committee and escorted to the Columbia Theater, where their day's fun began with a spe cial programme of Christmas films and Christmas music. Then they went to the Oregon Hotel, where Santa Claus was awaiting them with a well-nlleo Christmas tree.

There was no limit to the di versity of gifts that the Rotary mem bers had thrust on them. They ranged all the way from live goldfish and chickens to toys of all kinds. COUNTY WORK IS HELD UP Pacific Officials Complicate Affairs, Says State Bureau. OLYMPIA, WashTDec 23. (Special.) Because of a mistake of Pacific County Commissioners this Fall In is suing Illegal warrants to the extent of over $11,000 against the road and bridge funds, absolutely no new con struction work can be done next year, the State Bureau of Inspection states in a report just Issued on the financial conditions of this county. In addition, maintenance expense for existing roads will have to be met out of the road dis trict funds. Failure to comply with the new law prohibiting issuance of warrants to the extent of more than 80 per cent of the tax levy and a mistaken Idea that war rants Issued last Fall could be paid out of the indebtedness fund, is re sponsible for the plight of the county, the report states. The report shows that excess pay ments of 3851.35 have been paid county newspapers for publication of legal no tices, and more than $1000 worth of school district warrants are listed as Issued illegally. The assets of the county are listed at $266,855.05 and liabilities at $577, 883.81. CHRISTMAS JDINNER 75c. New Perkins Hotel Restaurant. Make reservations early. Phone Main 6186. Adr.
