MARSHF1ELD WINS
PYTH1AHS FOR 1917
Coos City Selected Despite
Opposition of Eastern
Oregon DeJegates. -
SESSIONS WILL END TODAY
Proposal to Eliminate Per Diem Al
lowance for Grand Lodge Rep
resentative Is Voted Down
After Spirited Debate.
Marshfield won its fight for-the 1917
convention of the Oregon Pythian
(rand lodge session late yesterday
afternoon.
In fact Marshfield had no active op
position, but some of the delegates ob
jected to going to the Coos Bay city
on account of the expense involved.
After Marshfield had been placed In
nomination and it began to appear that
the selection would be made unanimous,
Eastern Oregon members proposed that
the 1817 meeting be held in Portland
This met with vigorous opposition from
the Coos Bay crowd, supported by
many Willamette Valley representa
tives. The ballot, however, showed an over
whelming strength for Marshfield, and
the choice then was made unanimous.
Royal Kntertalnment Promised.
After Marshfield had been selected, a
proposal was made to eliminate the per
diem allowances made for Grand Lodge
members. This proposal was defeated
after a spirited debate.
It was pointed out that on account
of the distance to Marshfield the usual
mileage allowance would entail an
additional expense of $2500 on the
Grand Lodge. This could be partially
compensated, it was pointed out, by
cutting out the per diem of $2 for each
accredited delegate. This plan, how
ever, was voted down by a decisive
majority.
The Coos Bay delegation promised
royal entertainment for the Knights.
next year. It is the custom lor the
Pythian Sisters to meet in the same
city with the Knights, so their conven
tion probably will be held at Marshfield
a.t the same time.
The resignation of J. "W. Jett, of
Baker, as a member of the Grand Lodge
board f trustees, was accepted yester
day afternoon. J. H. Gwin, of Pendle
ton, was elected In his place. Mr. Jett
retired on account of ill health.
Officers to Be Installed Today.
The newly elected officers will be in
stalled at a special meeting of the
grand lodge this morning. It would
have been possible to take final ad
journment yesterday, but the conven
tion was held over for another day so
that some of the supreme lodge repre
sentatives could visit the grand lodge
and talk to the members.
.The final meeting will be held in
Pythian Castle, Eleventh and Alder
streets, at 10 o'clock this morning and
will be open to all members of the
Knights of Pythias whether they are
members of the grand lodge or not.
The ceremony of installation probably
will be performed by one of the past
supreme chancellors.
The grand lodge disposed of much
routine business yesterday. The offi
cers' reports showed material progress.
Most of the Relegates propose to re
main in Portland after the convention
adjourns this morning to assist in en
tertaining the visiting representatives
to the supreme lodge.
THREE PLANS BROACHED
City Attorney Koche Suggests Pro
posals for Highway Parks.
Available means of shifting the own
ership and operation of the parks along
Columbia River Highway from the city
to the county are outlined in a letter
written for the City Council yesterday
by City Attorney LaRoche.
He says the transfer may be brought
about in any one of three ways. One
is the' procurement of consent of the
donors of the property for the transfer;
the second the passage by the Legisla
ture of an act authorizing Multnomah
County to operate parks, and the third
an amendment to the city charter turn
ing over the property to the county.
Mr. LaRoche reports that S. Benson,
one of the donors, favors the city re
taining ownership of tne parks and
turning over the operation to the
counts.
