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

The government Is said to be espec

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.

TO THE PUBLIC
The above letter received by me yesterday
speaks for itself. 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. : .
