T , members of the Multnomah Amateur Ear,y Hotels of Boise, Idaho, and Salem, Or., Part of Bus! Athletic club cigars, sandwiches and special entertainment in order to coax them to attend the annual meeting of the club which was held last night. The fact that the Winged M insti tution had broken away from the cut and dried method of electing the trustees for the ensuing year and that certain members of the club had by petition placed an independent ticket in the field, which was expect ed to furnish competition for the reg ular ticket nominated by the club . nominating committee, was enough to Jam the Winged M gymnasium to ca pacity at 8 o'clock. President W. W. Banks opened the meeting with his annual report of the club's activities for the year 1919. In his report President Banks devoted considerable time to showing the in crease in attendance for the year 1919 over the, preceding year. In 191S the total attendance at the club was li0,539. while in 1919 the at tendance jumped to 200, 038, an in crease of nearly 40.000. The average attendance was 3291 per month great er during 1919 than 1918. An examination of the statement of Income and expenses given by Presi dent Banks shows that the income of the club for the year just closed was $19,000 In excess of the income for the year 1918. The operating ex penses, however, were greatly In creased also, but notwithstanding the increase in the cost of operating the club, the financial statement present ed showed a profit for the year of approximately $11,000. The report of President Banks took up the work of the various departments of the In stitution with words of praise for the Instructors and chairmen of the vari ous activities. Milton R. Klepper started the fire works after President Banks' report with a strong talk for the regular ticket as put in the field by the nom inating committee. A. B. McAlpin fol lowed with an indorsement of the in dependent ticket and then Frank J. Lonergan took the floor with another boost for the independent candidates. ness Record. George A.

SEW CABINET DEPARTMENT ADVOCATED BT CONGRESSMEN Irrigation Bills Before National Body Would Make Possible i Large Amount of Work. Members of the Oregon delegation In congress are unanimous in support of the Jones-Reavls bill, which would supplant the interior department with the department of public works and would concentrate under that division of the executive department of gov ernment the bureaus and functions that would naturally belong in that classification. D. C. Henny, consult ing engineer, who has just returned from a trip to Washington, says that he found every member of the Oregon delegation friendly to the bill. Repre sentative McArthur is especially active In pushing the measure, according to Mr. Henny. There are now pending before con gress two bills of interest to irri gationists, says Mr. Henny. The Jones bill that will carry appropriations of J250.000.000 for Irrigation work, in addition to what will be provided in the reclamation fund. The other is the measure that was introduced as a result of the conference of governors, which would enable the issuance of bonds to the amount of $250,000,000 for irrigation development. It is ex tremely doubtful whether either 'of these bills will be passed, but it seems probable that It may provide J10, 000,000 or possibly double that amount for expansion of the reclamation programme.

John Michaelf Seattle today com pleted arrangements for the redemp tion of the Sphier building, which was foreclosed nearly a year ago by the Western Loan and Building company on a $19,000 mortgage. Mr. Michael plans the addition of a second story within the near future. The redemp tion was partially financed by the Title and Trust company of Portland not serve Portland with its own rails or by joint rates with other carriers that do, from any point In tne Colum bia river basin and therefore could not be charged with an unjust dis crimination against Portland and un due preference to Puget sound by the maintenance of any proportional rates over its line, no matter how w they might be. "This would be accomplishing In directly what the law forbids to be done directly a result that would bring reproach uptin the law and the administration of Justice. No in stance is known to these exceptants of a line establishing proportional rates for the purpose of scalping the local business of other lines." Exceptions Taken to Findings.

Urge your skin to become clearer, brighter, better by the daily use of Poslam Soap, medicated with Poslam. -Adv. t-n. ONT get a premature hunch on D account of the warm weather nd start oruning your rose bushes, was the warning given out yesterday by some of Portland's prin cipal rose authorities. Wait .at least until March 1, was onn nrrier thev generally agreed upon. although as to action after that date the opinions ditierea. '"It you want your blooms for ex hibit at the rose show, wait until March 15." was the opinion or K. K. Clarke of Clarke Bros.' Floral com pany. "Ordinarily tne nrst oi wio month would do, but this is an un usual season." Frederick V. Holman, for many years the owner of 600 fine bushes, said he was going to handle the prun ing shears March 1 and Is going to whack his bushes off six or eight inches from the ground. Too Early Action Discnssed. Jesse A. Currey, who is one of the directors of the rose test garaen, declared that if one tackles pruning inn narlv he will have to do it all over again and will find himself cut ting as close as tnree or iour incnea rrnm the eround. whereas the gar dener only needs to cut back as far as the white wood. Another point that these xnree au thorities acree upon is that the big storm last December did considerable damage in the city ana tnat as a re si.it roses this year will be much fewer in number but much better in quality on account of the severe prun ing that must be given me ousnes. I' have found." said Mr. Holman, "that some bushes have been killed outright and that others are dead as far as the snow line. Some of the hybrid perpetuals and hybrid teas were not as badly injured, but ex amination of the bushes snows in most instances that the pith has turned dark brown and means that the shoots on these branches must be cut away. The best plan is to cut clear back until one comes to xne white pith. Sunshine Is Sunpected. "This sunshine makes the season unusual and I regard it with suspi cion. It is better to be wary and wait with the shears until March. Then, of course, if we have had warm weather up to that time, there will pop up those "I tojd you so' folks, but unfor tunately one has no way of telling whether the winter has gone or not." Mr. Holman said he was unable to estimate the extent of the damage to his own garden, but more than half of his climbers have been killed. Mr. Clarke also admitted that many of those who have climbers on the east side of their homes probably will find them badly hurt. However, he main tains he has seen few other injured bushes. "If the rose fancier wants to put ter around in his garden," the florist said, "now is the time for spraying before the new shoots get started. When it is time to prune I believe in cutting out all small stuff and. one- half or two-thirds of the heavy ' record growtn. Mr. Currey answers the argument of many that the sap is already running and leaf buds are appearing. He says these are from the sap that is very olose to the surface and means nothing. W. S. Sharp, a prominent farmer living near Lexington in the famous "blue grass" region of Kentucky, said: "I have suffered for many years from stomach trouble and indiges tion. For the last five years at least I haven't had an appetite In the mornings. I couldn't enjoy my break fast like other men because I had little desire to eat. and if I did eat anything it turned into a hard lump in my stomach and I was sick for the rest of the day. "I had a fullness In my stomach and the pains would almost set me wild. I had very little life in me and seemed to drag myself through the day. I let my condition rock along hoping that it would leave me. or that I would find some kind of medicine that would do the work. 'I made up my mind right then and there to try Tanlac and it was a lucky thing that I did. I began tak ing the medicine' that night when I got home and it helped me right from the start. It just seemed to touch the spot and I soon began to eat of mornings. I wanted things for breakfast that I never cared for be fore. For instance I had some fat bacon cooked up for me and I relished it and digested every particle of it "I can now eat pretty nearly every thingsomething I haven't been able to do In five years. Nothing seems to hurt me now. My stomach trouble has gone entirely and I am like other men. I can now stand fatigue and exposure better than ever before in my life." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. ceptions to the findings and conclu sions of the examiner are made upon the ground that such findings and conclusions are not supported by the evidence, or are held contrary to the law. As to the Milwaukee railroad it Is held that it only touches a tip of the grain-producing district and has no branch lines extending into it. In .the argument exhibit No. 8 of the inter veners Is gone into at some length to show that the method used by M4 Calderhead in computing the cost to the ton-mile of operation over the mountain division of the Northern Pacific is in error. This is discussed at length to point out the manner in which the comparison's were made. and wherein it is "not only mislead ing, but is Incorrect," in the language of the document. This is particularly in reference to. what was characterized by Mr. Cal derhead as a study of "the main lino of the Northern Pacific, Paradise, Mont., and west, the main line of the Great Northern, Troy, Idaho, and west, the main line of the Oregon Washington and the main line of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Figures Are Reviewed. After reviewing the figures con tained in the Calderhead exhibit. pointing out wherein !t is misleading oecause it spreads tne high cost of operating over the mountain division over a long mileage, thereby appar ently greatly reducing the cost, the document says: 1. The cost of hauling over moun tains of the Northern Pacific has been shown to be much less, due to the inclusion in the net ton miles on the Seattle division of the total for both the Seattle and Puget sound divisions and figuring the cost to the net ton mile on the basis of the ex pense for the Seattle division alone (Puget sound division being left out when figuring expenses). '2. This same error was commit ted when comparing the costs of Northern Pacific from Cheney to East Auburn with the S., P & S. from Spo kane to Vancouver. Data Are Declared Meager. 3. The data from which the com piler draws his conclusions are so meager and the explanations so slight that there is no way to intelligently check the exhibit. 4. The exhibit shows plainly how almost any conclusion can be drawn by grouping certain divisions. 5. The comparison or the O.-w. R. & N. from Seattle through Port land to Spokane with the groupings made of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern is so unfair and has such little bearing on the case that It proves nothing." The brief of exceptions tiled by tne attorney-general is of 64 pages and contains three maps. The excep tions of the Portland-Vancouver com plainants comprise 45 pages. Oswald west, attorney ior tne in land Empire Shippers' league, yes terday forwarded exceptions of com plaint in docket No. 10448, the so- called grain rate case, to tne inter state commerce commission.
