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. The hundreds of chlK
dren swarmed into the Crystal dining'
room of the Oregon, where the tree
stood.
D. I Williams, the Rotary Santa
Claus, assisted JY R. R. Routledge, F.
W. PatC W. H. Whiting, W. S. Scott
and W, A. Wilson, poured out the
bounty of the club on the delighted lit
tie guests. Toys and sweets there were,
sufficient to satisfy the dearest dreams
of the children.
There were more than enough of the
gift bags 'and after the children had
been laden with them, the remainder of
the bags were turned over to the Sal
vation Army and the Associated Chart
ties to be given to their wards.
The Christmas tree held presents for
the members of the club also, but all of
the presents were joke presents, and
every man was compelled to open his
package in the presence of all the other
members. 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,
