Under this plan a portion of the building would be rented, the Elks retaining space needed for clubrooms and a lodgeroom. The new building committee, com posed of Monroe Goldsten, Harry G. Allen, R. "VV. Schmeer, Ralph W. Hoyt, John E. Kelley, Joseph Healey and Leo Friede, have not yet completed their tentative plans, but as soon as this is done they will be presented to the lodge for consideration.

For the past 15 months Portland Lodge, like every other Elks lodge in the United States, has been far too busily engaged in patriotic endeavor toward helping in the winning o'f the war to pay much attention to mem bership drives. Not alone were all the members en gaged In individual activity, but in ad dition, the Portland Elks frequently were called upon to give assistance in the attainment of some goal in a patriotic endeavor. As an example, during the member ship drive of the American Red Cross in December, 1917, it was found that Portland was lagging. Supreme effort was needed lor Portland to "go over v ' " -V it U l- 1 v ' - it 11- f j i !

Portland Elks organized, and in one night secured 113,501.66, a sum far in excess of what was needed to put this city on the proper side of the led ger in the Nation-wide drive. With the war at an end, the Elks are focusing their major attention back to the needs of the order, although they stand ready to do their full share in all reconstruction work, as well as pay proper tribute to the returning service onen, among whom are many who wear the antlered head. The Initiation fee of Portland Lodge, which was lowered after America en tered the war to $50 In order to permit young men who entered fhe service to become members prior to their depart ure, will again be J100 beginning March 1, as quickly as the present member ship drive has been concluded. PHONE DECISION DELAYED Further Data to Be Presented at Hearing on January 20. STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or., Jan: 18. (Special.) It is barely possible that a final decision on the question of an increase in rates for the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph Company may not come from the Public Service Commis sion until late in . February, or possibly until after the adjournment of the Leg islature. The telephone company has asked for a hearing on January 20, to present further data, and the Commission had contemplated handing down its order a few weeks afterward. Influenza has been at work, both among the companies and the Commis sion's employes, and as a result the hearing slated for January will go over until some time in February, and it may not be until some time in March be fore the order comes down.

PUBLIC ONCE AGAIN URGED TO DDrJ MASKS Federal Health Official in Port land to Aid Authorities. WEEK'S DEATH TOLL IS 115 Records Show Total of 185 0 New Cases for Seven Days; Churches to Hold Meetings on Subject. Universal wearing of masks as a protection against influenza Is urged by Lieutenant-Colonel McGruder. of the United States Public Health Service, who arrived in Portland yesterday under instructions Irom Surgeon-General Blue, to assist local authorities in the fight against, the disease. Colonel McGruder has been in charge of the department of sanitation sur rounding cantonments on the Pacifiic Coast and has made an exhaustive study of the Influenza situation and the fights being waged in the various cities against the dread disease. "I believe that the universal wearing of a properly constructed mask," said Colonel McGruder yesterday. "In con nection with the other measures that have been adopted for the repression of the disease, will result in its early eradication. Masks' Benefit Proved. "The wearing of masks has not re sulted from scientific investigation, but as a result of the application of com mon sense. It has been proved that masks are protection against the spread of the disease." Portland's influenza epidemic has been checked, in the belief of many physicians as well as Director-General Sommer, but all persons are warned against relaxing at this time, as it might quickly assume dangerous pro portions if precautionary efforts are not continued. Yesterday 204 new cases were re ported to the health bureau by noon and seven deaths were recorded. Dur ing the week 1850 new cases of in fluenza have been reported to the bu reau and a total of 115 deaths were recorded. Some of these deaths oc curred during the week previous, the funeral directors having 10 days in which to report deaths. Today many of the churches, through the action of the Ministerial Associa tion, will conduct educational cam paigns against the influenza epidemic. Circulars have been sent to the minis ters of the city by Dr. Sommer with data on the advisability of the general use of masks and other information concerning the disease. Graduating: Exerelaea Barred. The churchgoing publio has been urged by Dr. Sommer to ear masks. The campaign to educate the public to the- benefit of the volunteer use of masks is to continue under the direc tion of the publicity committee of the Consolidated Health Board. Dr. Sommer yesterday refused to take any action to remove the ban placed on public graduating exercises in the Port land public and high schools. This ban was placed into effect by the School Board, and yesterday a group of stu dents appealed to Dr. Sommer for a modification of the order similar to the modification made in the original ban on dancing. The barracks erected for the care of influenza patients at the Multnomah County Hospital will be available for use today. Dr. Sommer stated. The cu bical system of segregation of all pa tients of Portland hospitals was put into effect yesterday. Grants Pass Enforces Quarantine. GRANTS PASS, Or.. Jan. 18. (Spe cial.)
