The Ad club met at the Oregon and the Portland hotel until It was located, and the rrogreaalve Bualneaa Men mat at the Seward hotel and the Commercial club until they likewise ' were attracted to the Alder and Park corner, where no street car or other ' traffic noise Interfere with the free . generation of wit and wisdom within. .

Sometimes the speakers of , the day tell in a highly entertaining way of their own business; frequently ; It is upon an Issue of the day during the campaign an effort was made to hear all the mayoralty candidates. The club thus makes Itself a force for good 'tfl, .' end for progress because It brings Into 1 harmoniously helpful relations all the city's business Interests and an im mensely valuable opportunity for co- . ,.' operation Is thus presented and utilised.! --- Ad Club Ztlke Dynamo.

Such a free and unhampered occasion was de cidedly unique to: the visitors. But be wilderment changed ' to admiration and applause when the club .led by C. C.

Wo Taney Luncheon. The Ad club 1 like nothing ao much aa a tremendous current with a seeth ing updaablng of foam-capped waves. current like that generates tieetno power when harnessed. It weekly program are the admira tion compeller of all who get them. JJer In mind that it la a plain luncheon and escape confusion when you read that It is a clrcua, a vaudeville per formance, a live wire show, and varloua other things all true, figuratively. The Ad club haa recently had pre sented before It some of the best ex positions of tsclentlfla and successful advertising by Its own members. It ns taken up political and municipal righteousness. It has heard music and aqjig. It Is a dynamo or frivolous fun that suddenly becomes hard sense and ts roll calls are Its best feature. Basinets Men's Club. The -Progress!- business Men's 'dub is the Thursday club. That Is the rea son It comes third in description. Neither the Rotarlana nor the Admen have a more sharply defined object. In its sessions the. Progressive Business Men's club 1 most serious, too. But it is all Hs name signifies, progress. Wit ness that it has taken up for exhaustive tudy the commission .plan of govern ment Its members believe that the commission plan will be the Issue su preme In Portland during the coming six months or a year. It 1 not doubted that the commission plan will be ulti mately adopted. The club want to be in a position where its member will understand exactly what the plan ' Is, and by what modifications it may be adapted to the Portland situation as salvation from misgovernment and mis representation. This opportunity too, is taken to say that next week, Thursday, 12:15 p. m..

The Progressive Business Men's club draws It membership from all classes who like to oome under the progressive banner. .It la first of all an organisation of the o linger business men. It prea ldent, Sugene Brookings, is a lawyer; It secretary, Henry M. Browning, Is an ad' man and Is connected with the Chapman Advertising company. Its programs are thoroughly delightful. Bo are Its roll calls. Albert Ehrgott, min ister of the East Side' Baptist church, who refuses to be "reverended" and lta first vice . president A. E. Clark, are among the most active spirits of the organisation. The nature of the three luncheon clubs Is to grow and they are dong It They are the fualng of voung blood, the energizing of maturing ambition, the power producers of definite purpose. A haa been said, no other' city can dup licate their unique aggressiveness. There are, of course, a good many other club In Portland, but these are distinctive by reason of their manner -of meeting. GERVAIS-MOUNT ANGEL - ... .. . j ROAD ROW SETTLED (Special Diapateh to Tbs lour oil.) Gervala, Oregon, May, 20. The pro posed county road between Gerval and Mt Angel' that his ben""heia"ap"f of the past SO days by DeRoy Esson, a property owner along said road, will be granted by the county court June T. The difficulty arose when the road viewers and surveyors took a different course to what Esson had expected, cutting off a small corner of his farm, possibly between 15 and 20 acres. Mr. Esson at once started a damage suit, which has been the cause of the. long delay. The trouble came to -air end when Mr. Komp from Mt. Angel said he would take all the land out from the Esson farm at $100 per acre. An agreement was reached at once and as soon as papers can be drawn and the land surveyed the complaint will be withdrawn from .the county court and the road will be granted. Work then will at once begin on the new road, also the construction of a new bridge over the Pudding river. Journal Want Ads bring result. Guaranteed for Life ORGANIZATIONS ILL FEELING CREATED IN BRITISH HOUSE (Caited Press Lhh4 Wlre.1 London, May 20. The fight In the house of commons over the bill to de prive the house qf lords of its veto pow er ha been tha fiercest parliamentary engagement In English history, it haa also developed some' extraordinary things In the way of parliamentary pro cedure. ' . Theoretically the British national leg islature, proudly referred to by Brit ons aa the "mother of parliament," 1 the very home of free speech and fair play for everybody. But In praejlce, o far at least as the "Lord' veto" contest 1 concerned, there ha been very little free speech for anybody outside the ma jority coalition and no fair play at all for anybody, i The situation has, for one thing, been greatly complicated by the .peculiar constitution of the house of commons. A Liberal cabinet la in power but on the floor of the house Conservatives outnumber' the Liberals. ' To be exact there are at present 2f3 Conservatives, 2S9 Ctberals, 42 Laborlte. and 84 Irish Nationalist. There are also two vacant seats, due to the unseating of a Liberal In an election contest and to the eleva tion of War Minister Haldane to the peerage. The Laborlte s policy has usually, been to act with the Liberals and 1n the In tartt Dt Irish home rule,- th National ists have supported ther Liberal-Labor alliance. It stands to reason, however, that two such parties as the Labor! tes and the Irish, conscious of their power, would not give their support to the Lib erala without exacting substantial guar antees in return. This 1 exactly what they did, and as most Labor and Irish projects are obnoxious to the Conser vatlves no end of 111-feellrig ha be eh w tea.
