Convention of Oregon Fed eration at La Grande Takes Up Momentous Questions Fund to Be Established for Girls. (Speettl Dlcjntcb to The Journal.) La Gran d 9, Or, Noy. 12. The Ore gon Federation of Women's clubs' con vention closes this afternoon. Most of the delegates board the trains for home tonight, after the most enjoy able and profitable session ever held ' In this state. The routine work of closing followed that of the forenoon. This afternoon a drive will be taken to the big mill of the Palmer Lumber company, through the fruit districts north and east, and May Park and Fruit dale. The weather is a trifle chilly and cloudy. . By Saxah A. Zvans. The second day of the convention of the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs now being: held at La. Grande surpassed the most sanguine expectations. THe morning trains from both east and west brought in large crowds of club women, a few being straggling delegates, but most of them club women from nearby towns. At the afternoon session standing room was at a premium. A pleasant feature of the noon hour was the dis tribution of souvenirs sent from the beet sugar factory which consisted of tiny bottles of the crystal white sugar, tied with green ribbons to the card of the factory, with its compliments. At the morning session the reports of committees and individual clubs were made. The club growth- shown- was the wonder of- every one present. Civ ics and library work seemed to hold the lead in club Interest, and the strict ly literary club seems to be becoming a thing of the past The legislative report 'was of- special Interest and promises some lively work at galena this winter. , Council of Presidents. The council of presidents from 1:S0 to 1:80 p. m. was one of the most beneficial hours of the convention. Three subjects were under discussion. Vis: "The Duty of Delegates," "Club Amenities." and "The Press in Relation to Club' Work." Under the latter sub-' Ject the convention warmed up to dls-, cusston. The consensus of opinion was that to be a ' success clubs must be in closest touch with the press must be willing to give its news freely, to assist the press in getting full and fair reports and it was the unanimous opinion that the press was one of tho greatest sources of helpfulness to the -elub work in the course of discussion many complimentary things were said of the Oregon journal. Ono lady remarked that she van opposed to The Journal, fioliticaliy, but as it was the only paper n the slate where she could hear all I about the clubs of the world, she took - it for its club news. ' And although she waa opposed to - Sunday newspapers she could hardly wait till Monday to read the club page. ' A resolution of thanks was extended to i he Journal for its generosity ,to ; the club women. At the afternoon session there was an industrial hour, presided over by Mrs. ' C. C Chapman, in which Miss May (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Welser, Idaho, Nov. 12. A series of four meetings of the residents of what is known as the Dead Ox Flat country is being held this week to have the gov ernment again consider the construction of the Malheur project which was un dertaken four years ago but abandoned because the people did not give It the proper support. It la understood at this time that the settlers on this arid land are now unanimously In favor of the scheme, nlnce all of the private com panies have failed utterly to accomplish in ine way or irrigating tne mythlne land. The Maineur project will em brace many thousands of acres of land that is considered as good as any In southern Idaho or eastern Oregon. This land has been cultivated largely in re cent years by homesteaders who have raised grain by dry farming methods. The meetings of the settlers are from November 10 to IS. Inclusive, and are being largely attended by a government reclamation officer who explains to the people what will be required of them, the time it will take to construct the entire system and the probable cost per acre for a perpetual water right. Not only are the government officials Interested in the project but a number of other men mora or less prominent in irrigation worg are Doosung me pres ent schema.

Should tne present" blans be accented and the project ' undertaken It would probably require an expenditure of $5,000,000 and take two years to complete it. INJUNCTION APPLIED FOE AT LA GRANDE (Rpeeial Dispatch, to Tbt Journal.) La Grande, Or., Novl 12. An appll- restrainlng cation for the coun ty clerk by Attorney Oliver, to re strain the county court from ordering the county clerk from Issuing, and the county treasuring from paying, war rants drawn on tne county funds for the expenses connected with the John Morrison escheat case. The applica tion has not yet been signed by Judge Knbwles. Three divorce cases have bean filad aa follows: Fern W. Barnard vs. Rob ert U Barnard; Mamie Hewett vs. Wil liam Hewett, and Edna L.

Carroll to acquire title to a tract of land In North Powder. fOalted Press Uued Wire.) Ban Francisco, Nov. 12. Announce ment has been made that the vander bllt and Law Brothers Interests on the waterfront west of Fort Mason and ex tending to the Presidio reservation have been pooled and that the submerged land will be drained and an Immense dock system will be constructed. Articles of Incorporation of the Realty Improvement & Dock company were filed at Albany, N. Y.. Tuesday and investigation proved that ail of the valuable waterfront once owned bv the Fair estate has been pooled In the new company. The property waa owned by Mrs. W. K. Vanderbllt and Herbert K. Law. . . Law was recently in New yorit ana it waa learned todav that he secured the financial aid of the Vanderbllts for the contemplated system or oocks mat win be the most valuable holding on the waterfront. A system of concrete docks with car tracks running out on piers will give more deep water facilities to the harbor and a connection with the belt line owned by the state that circles the waterfront. There is considerable speculation as to whether the new docks will be con trolled by the Harrlman Interests or the interests that are planning a new rail road from Seattle to San Francisco by way of Tiburon. The new docks would be opposite the Tiburon docks and be a natural landing place for ferry boats of the new system. Hiss is supposed to be behind the new system. President Francis Clark of the Spo kane, Portland & Seattle said this morn ing that if Hill had started to acquire terminals or rights of way for a San Francisco line that he knew nothing about It. "I don't think he has, but I don't know," said Mr. Clark. JAPANESE DISOWN NIYAKAWA'S BOASTS (United Ptm Ussed Wlrt.) Tokio, Nov. 12. Japanese officials, alarmed at the possible effect the state ment of Dr. Masuji Niyakawa that America has no Port Arthur and that the occupation of San Francisco by Jap anese forces would not be difficult, rid icule Dr. Niyakawa's remarks as child ish. The officials also deny that there Is any movement afoot In Japan to bring over to Nippon 100 American rep resentative newspaper men to study Japanese conditions. The statement of Niyaitawa nas created consternation in official circles, where It is believed -his Ill-timed views may nullify uis good feeling produced by the visit of the fleet.

Although the sale has been in progress but seven days and a great amount of business 'transacted, it is 'evident the results are not entirely satisfactory to the Board of Directors.: I simply wish to state here that the goods are now being sold at very much below their real worth and a further reduction would mean actual loss. However, in compliance with the above im perative order from the Chairman of the Board of Directors ! shall, beginning thi3 morning, close out as nearly as possible, the remaining stock at decided reductions on the already low sale prices. For the next four days I promise the public, bargains such as have never before been offered by any Port- land store. No mail orders filled and no v goods' charged. : . 4 - J.P.BURKE, Superintendent.
