That they were here for fun right from the Etart. was the senti ment expressed by the delegates to the 20th annual convention of the Oregon Federation of "Women's clubs. assembled tonight in Enterprise, as they sans in a jolly community sing t aboard the special. This sentiment seems to prevail, but of course there Is dignity enough in the fine fea tures of the programme planned for the four days' session. The fun started when Mrs. Clyde Kckor of Independence, backed by a valley delegation, stole the Portland Woman's club banner, which finally was rescued by Mrs. A. C. Jackson ami Nettie Greer Taylor. AYnllowa t'lub r.nlrrlnlm. Jiick O'Ncil. passenger aecnt for the convention special, deserves praise for the way he managed to pilot those I two cars of women. He is a diplomat. G. V. Gaskins, the obliging Pullman man, straightened out reservations and bunglings with patience and promptness, so the trip from Portland to In Grande was perfect. Hospitality in the watchword in eastern Oregon. The Neighborhood club of La Grande proved that by their cordial welcome and bounteous breakfast for the dele gates. They met the early morning train and gave all delegates a splen did impression of their city. Flowers, menu, music and hospitality were su perb. The club women took the train to Wallowa, where they were met by autos. At Wallowa the clubwomen were entertained by the little club which ptovided a splendid luncheon and a programme. They were welcomed by Mrs. J. W. Bledsoe, president. Mrs. Hdward Holmes played solos. Mary Randall. Stewart Tulley and Hubert Mitchell sang and Winifred Brund danced cleverly. Then came the En terprise women with autos for the 20 mile ride. Enterprise motorists had saved their gasoline for the occasion, hoarding it jealously for weeks so that they could entertain their guests. Mrs. George Holmes, president; Mrs. S. D. Keltner, hospitality chairman; Mrs. O. C. Turner, director auto trans portation, and assistants, are doing wonders. Mayor Glrea Welcome. With its rugged Alpine background of snow-clad crags and peaks. Enter prise today put on a gala attire and welcomed the delegates to the fed erated clubs convention. Homes of all the prominent residents are opened to the visitors. To begin to describe the beauties of the country would be impossible. Enterprise lies at the foot of steep mountains that are covered with snow. About her are broad mead ows and beyond them are rolling hills, hut best of all is the boundless gen erosity and thoughtful kindness of her citizens. The convention opened with a wel come from A. M. Miller, mayor of Enterprise; greetings from F. W. Savage, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and from Mrs. Jay H. Dob bins of the Enterprise club. Mrs. Collins Elkins. vice-president of the federation, responded. Excellent mu sic was given by Miss Randall, Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. A. K. Parker and Stewart Tulley. Mrs. Ida Callahan, president of the feedration, in her address, laid stress on the importance of commu nity service work, saying that the community clubs are doing a great service for the state. "Americanization has been the key note of our endeavor in both the state and national organizations." said Mrs. Callahan. "This is a word of a hun dred meanings, but is always the lan guage of ideals. Today we are mend ing a broken civilization and we must create a new age. Women must help in this by industry, patience and work." The president repeated the creed of Americanization, urging "one loyalty, the loyalty of the American people." At tile 1919 convention in Corvallis in October it was decided to change the convention time from fall to spring. It "is, therefore, eight months since the new administration began its duties, but in that time the president has vis ited 50 clubs and traveled 3800 miles.

"To determine, once and f or all time, whether the city is irrev- ocably bound to - keep and operate t the municipal traction lines and pay ; the sum of $15,000,000 therefor," Mar or Caidwell requested the city coun- ; cil to pass an ordinance requiring! Walter F. Meier, corporation coun- i sel. to make a complete and sweeping i investigation of the streetcar deal. i Besides probing the negotiations for , the sale of the lines, the mayor also urged the investigation of statements that "persons connected with the city government obtained financial per sonal benefit from the sale of the lines to the city." In his communication to the city council. Mayor Caldwell scored Cor poration' Counsel Meier for failure to act upon streetcar data prepared by Major Carl H. Reeves, superintendent of public utilities, and for Meier's statement that the city "offered" the Stone-Webster interests Jlo, 000,000 for the lines. Million I.ont, Saya Mayor. That the city lost several millions in the streetcar transaction was re iterated by the mayor. "I am referring," said the mayor, "to the quite general fmpression, shared by me, that the city of .Seattle paid an exorbitant price for the rail-w-ay and equipment, it being esti mated by those having some knowl edge of tlie matter that the price paid was some five or six million dollars in excess of the real value of the lines and in excess of the price at which the owners were willing to sell the lines through eastern brokers." It was suggested by the mayor that the entire deal might be voided if a true disclosure of the transaction was uneartned. He said: "It occurs to me that if tharn fa any basis for the prevalent belief that some persons connected with the city jsu vci i.meiiL iinanciauy benefited by the transaction, this would Invalidate the entire proceedings and the vendor ouia oe compelled to lata th iins off the city's hands, unless a new con tract is made upon a reasonable basis."

Full supervisory control of all lift. gation of the city is given to the cor poration counsel by the charter, ac cording to Mr. Caldwell, in request ing mat Meier be authorized to main a searching probe of the railway deaL am urmiy convinced that an in vestigation of the sale to the ltw should be made," the mayor conclud ed, "and the city advised, once and for all. whether any legal relief can oe obtained. 1 am convinced that a very large number of the citizens of this city desire to have an investiga tion made that will determine this matter. "A great many statements and cir cumstances have been related that in my opinion should be investigated and tne truth ascertained. Upon all these facts, when obtained, the city should be advised as to whether it has any legal basis for relief." Obituary. OREGON CITY. Or.. June 1. (Spe cial.)

PICTURE IS PROHIBITED "DANGEROUS HOCRS" BARRED BY BOARD OF CENSORS. First condemnation of a motion picture by the new Doard of censors took place yesterday when, after viewing "Dangerous Hours," a nega tive decision for its showing tn the city of Portland was announced. No argument over the picture took place and the decision showed two votes against it and one for, the af firmative being that of C. S. Jensen, representine the film interests. He considered the picture, with certain eliminations, all right. Those voting in the negative were Mrs. Alexander Thompson and Dr. Jonah B. Wise. The screen version of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," pro-j duced by the same company, also was viewed. This was passed with the agreement that certain scenes thought by members of the board to be too grew some should be eliminated. "Dangerous Hours.' " said Dr Wise, "was a clumsy attempt to combat present radical tendencies. It seemed to us to be offensive to the require ments of good taste, but of course the motion picture board has not been established to regulate stand ards of taste. It was condemned by Mrs. Thompson and myself because we felt it would not leave a whole some impression on the public mind." The board has also viewed on pre vious occasions three other motion pictures condemned by viewers. With the exception of one case where the former board had condemned a pro duction and the new board felt itself without power to reverse the. orig inal decision, all productions have been passed. '"Treasure Island" Is the first film in which eliminations have been ordered by the new board. Building Active at Centralia. CENTRA LI A, Wash.. June 1. (Spe cial.)
