The sense of . the Willamette Valley ' Kditorial Association, which held its semiannual meeting in Forest Grove today, was that 5 cents a line was a proper rate for legal advertising in Oregon. In this description were included not only the more familiar legal notices commonly inserted by lawyers, but road and school district tices and municipal business also of 1 kinds.

BIG BATTLESHIP SPEEDY OKLAHOMA REACHES 1.7 KNOTS OJf TRIAL RVJX, Reciprocating Engines Almost Equal Work of Turbines on Average of Several Official Tests. ROCKLAND, Me., Jan. 15. A speed of 21.7 knots was reached by the super dreadnought Oklahoma in one mile of er standardization ' runs off Owl's Head today, exceeding the best record of her rival, the Nevada, the only other ship of her type. The Nevada's high speed for a single mile was 21.0 knots. The comparison between the two vessels was more favorable to the Ne vada in the average of five speed runs. the Nevada's average being 20.90, while the Oklahoma's fell slightly short of 20.80. As this average was three tenths of a knot better than was called for in the contract, the builders and aval trial board regarded her show ing as satisfactory. Especial interest attached to the per formance of the Oklahoma as compared ith that of the Nevada because the latter is driven by turbinee, while the Oklahoma has reciprocating engines. It was announced today that the maxi mum horsepower developed today was about 23,000, and during the Okla homa's fastest mile the propellors turned 126 times a minute, indicating that her contract speed would be made on 124 turns a minute.

ART SUCCESS WON Operatic Benefit at Heilig Theater Is Acclaimed. STORM HURTS ATTENDANCE Baby Home Show Apparently Has Deficit February Performance Is Proposed, House and Services to Be Donated. The third performance of "Romeo and Juliet," at the Heilig yesterday afternoon, was acclaimed the best of the series of three, so far as finish 'of stage ensemble, singing and orchestral accompaniment . are concerned. The chief feature of the entire event, how ever, was that three audiences did not attend in sufficient numbers to make the affair also a financial success. All accounts have not yet been bal anced by the committee of manage ment, so 'tba exact deficit cannot be determined until books are balanced at business meeting tomorrow. The total expenses of the three per formances of "Romeo and Juliet" pos sibly are about $2400, or a little less. The receipts at the theater box office, as stated by a representative of the management of the Baby Home, amount to $1798, apportioned as follows: Thurs day night's performance, $603; Friday night, $626.75, and yesterday's matinee. $568.25. The sale of box seats sola personally by friends of the Baby Home are not included in this total of $1798, and will be known tomorrow. I It is proposed to make up this ap parent deficit of about $500 by another performance, by the same cast and orchestra, at the Heilig Theater early in February, and if this is done It is likely that "Romeo and Juliet" will be the opera chosen for rendition. But this plan is tentative. Orrin Backus, manager for Madame Jomelli, favored the proposal to re peat "Romeo and Juliet" in the near future. "I can say for Madame Jomelli that she will donate her serv ices on that occasion," said Mr. Backus. In this manner the entire deficit will be met and all expenses paid." I will guarantee, on behalf of the management of the Baby Home, that all the people who appear in the pro posed repetition of 'Romeo and Juliet' will not be paid for their services. It will be a donation of service to enable the Baby Home management to pay all debts incurred in these productions of grand opera," said Mrs. .D. C. Burns, president of the Baby Home. "This new deal will be handled by regularly elect ed officers who will take charge of all details. We are confident that if- the snow storm had not interfered with the attendances of our audiences the event would have been a financial success. An artistic success was achieved." - Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, at the Public Library, a meeting will be held Enjoy Life!
