Every employe of a. hotel in Oregon who may handle food for human con sumption will be subject to medical examination. if the bill, which the Ore gon ilotel Association at its conven tion at Eugene last week authorized its legislative committee to draft and fubmit to the next general assembly ehould be enacted into law by that body. Secretary Beach was authorized to tend a blank, agreement to every mem. licr of the association outside of Port land to sign, pledging himself to make & charge of 5 cents for every room telephone call going out of his hotel, nnd also a uniform charge of 10 cents for bus fare each way. Following are the resolutions cover ing the state highway bond issue, as adopted by the association: "Whereas. The prosperity and upbuilding of the houa business o the estate of Ore gnu depends upon the growth and settle ment of our slate; and. Whereas, the great increase In the growth of our cities when compared with our rural population indicates where earnest aid is needed for our development; and, Wberus. good roads, over which our farmers can transport their products at a minimum cost and which will bring them close in point of time to their trading cen ters for business and recreation will prove a great incentive to life on the farm; therefore, bo it IleMjlved. That this association heneby plat es itself on record aa favoring construc tive highway legislation that will lead to the- early building and maintenance at s'ate. expense of the main trunk highways of the stat so located that commercial and lateral highways can readily and to best advantage connect therewith; and, be it fur ther Ilesolved. That such additional legisla tion If any be needed, be enacted that will enable the different counties to expedi tiously and economically construct such commercial, lateral and connecting high ways that the products of the farm may be cheaply transported to market and offered for our use in the best condition possible to the mutual advantage of producer and consumer; and be it further Resolved. That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the master of the State Grange with our offer of co-operation if ucli action meets with their approval. BLOCKS USED FOR FLOOR WOOD IX DEMAXD FOR SURFACE THAT BEARS HEAVY STRAIN. In Spite of Higher Price Than Many Other Paving; Materials, Orders lor Northwest Product Gain. According to the Forest Service, creo ot4 wood blocks, already extensively used as paving material for city streets, have been, coming into use during the last four or five years for flooring. Their durability, noiselessness under heavy traffic and Banitary properties are their chief advantages for pav ing and also give them splendid value for floors, especially for use where heavy trucking, the moving of weighty machinery or other severe strain makes the maintenance cf floors a serious problem. Wood block is now widely -used for flooring in factories, warehouses, ma chine shops, foundries, various types of platforms, wharves, docks and for such miscellaneous purposes as hotel kitch ens, laundries and slaughter-houses. Possibly one of the oddest of these uses is for floors of wild animal cages and runways. Such floors are well liked by workmen because they are ca.y on the feet. .Most of the blocks for floors are now made of Southern yellow pine and Douglas fir. The chief disad vantage in the use of wood block is the high cost. According to experts, the cost of creosoting wood-block floor Averages about 91.50 a square yard for the blocks alone and about $2.40 a square yard for the completed floor. The initial cost, however, is practically the whole cost, for the expense of up keep Is very small. In spite of the cost, it is believed that the increase in the use of wood blocks will be rapid in the futnre. CLOSED SHOP DEBATET0P1C l'orenie Contest Will Be Held at Beetl College Wednesday.

IT would be hard to count the num ber of people who have been mak ing inquiry concerning the identity of one special tune played in the musi cal score accompanying The Birth of a Nation," which opens a limited en gagement in Portland starting Sunday, April 30. It is the pretty little air which Elsio Stoneman presumably plays on her banjo and sings as she takes her place at the bedside of the wounded Southern officer. The best available authority. George Koehler, for years conductor of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and now general conductor for all of the "Birth of a Nation" companies, w will have charge of the orchestra dur ing the Portland engagement which contributes its part of the entertain ment, labels it an old Bohemian polka, popular at the time of the Civil War. It is undoubtedly true, but in several memories there lurks a tantalizing conviction that the tune was set to a song in soma way connected, with. Ibe spirit of plantation life, though no body seems able quite to name it. That isn't the only haunting bit of lovely musical mosaic which so greatly heightens the effect of the picture. It is "In the Gloaming" which always means - a romantic passage between Margaret Cameron and her Northern sweetheart, and such cear, familiar airs at "The Suwanee River." "Home. Sweet Home" and "Auld Lang Syne," find their appropriate moments In the story. A pasage from "Der Freischutz" is heard above the noise of battle, and intensity of a dramatic situation is strengthened by the excerpt from "Zaraiia," while the mounted Confed erate troops gallop across the screen to the strains of ".Light Cavalry." "In the Hall of the Mountain King," from Grieg's "Peer Gynt" suite, adds excitement to the thrilling horror of the flight from burning Atlanta, and the wild cry of the Valkyries, as Wag ner conceived it. heralds the wild ride of the assembled clans. Sherman's march to the sea has "Marching Through Georgia" for a setting, of Behind several course, and "The Girl I Left Me" is eminently fitting in scenes of the story. The darkies dance to "Turkey in the Straw" and work to the strains of "The Camptown Races," and the "Cora in' Thro' the Rye" waltz carries the Southern beaux and belles through their ballroom diversions. The big mo ments in the drama, when patriotic sensibilities are stirred most deeply, are accentuated by "America," "Dixie," The Star-Spangled Banner" and "Mary land, My Maryland." The "Simonetti Madrigal" is recognized in the gentle air played as the loyal Camerons sac rifice the last of their possessions to the dear cause of the South. Such special themes as appear and reappear to announce the entrance of certain characters,, or the intrusion of certain ideas, were composed by George Brill, the New York musician who arranged the whole score. The appealing melody, which plainly char acterizes the sentiment of the young Southern hero for Klsie, was called by Brill "the perfect song." Rendition Is Given at First Presby terian Charch-Q,uartct and Ora torio Society Take Part. The First Presbyterian Church was filled to the doors Friday night to hear the rendition of the new Lenten canta ta, composed by II. Alexander Mat thews, of Philadelphia, entitled, "Tho Triumph of the Cross," sung by the combined choruses of the Portland Ora torio Society and the First Presby terian chorus, numbering about 100 voices, under the direction of E. Mal dwyn Evans. The soloists wjre the members of the church quartet: Mrs. Jane Burns Al bert, soprano; Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller, contralto; Joseph P. Mulder, tenor; and Dom J. Zan, baritone. William Lowell Patton was organist, in place of Edgar E. Coursen, who was fulfilling his duties also as organist at the Temple Beth Israel. Mr. Patton played aa organ solos "Contemplation" (Gaul) and "Offer toire" (Guilmant.) Dr. John II. Boyd, pastor of the church, lauded the work of the combined oratorio .societies, especially that of E. Maldwyn Evans, who, he sairT, gave his services as musical director gratuitously. There are 48 numbers, or separate parts. In the new cantata. "The Tri umph of the Cross." The work of the chorus and three soloists "The Nar rator." sung by Mrs. Albert, soprano; "Pilate," sung by Mr. Mulder, tenor; and "Jesus." Mr. Zan. baritone Is about equally divided. The music is modern, melodious, reverent, and im pressive. Contrary to expectation, it did not hark back in musical treatment to Handel's "Messiah," but told its story along strong, original lines. produced under the direction of Mrs. Louise Peddycord. The parts were taken as follows: The Fairy of Springtime, Marguerite Levitt; the Child, Edward Long; Robin, Wil lard Peddycord; Meadow Lark, Louis Fehrenbacker; Bob White, Jeannette Findley;. Ariole. Roger Sprinkle; Wrens, Marian Spinning and' Elizabeth Hig gins: Canaries, Albert Levitt and Rich ard Smith. Louis Fehrenbacker recited "The Star Baby," Virginia Bollam sang "The Bees" and Marian Spinning "The Bird's Nest." Roger Sprinkle told the story of the "Red-Headed Woodpecker." The children served luncheon for their guests. I'ruit Inspector Named. POMEROT. Wash., April 22. (Spe cial.) District Horticultural Inspector G. W. Gilbreath, of Walla Walla, has assigned one of his inspectors, Charles G. Andrus, to Garfield County to look after the fruit trees. A month ago Inspector Gilbreath was in the county and at that time declared that all the fruit trees in the county were so badly diseased and infected with scale, fire blight and apple canker that in a short time they would not even serve as shade trees. Mr. Andrus will give pub lic demonstrations in pruning, blight cutting and spraying, as well as work personally with the fruitgrowers in the county.
