'. '- provisions of Ordinance. " Principal features of the. dance hall ordinance as recommended for passsge by the commutes today are: -, Abolition of Sunday dances except by religious sects that, do not observe Oie Sabbath. . Abolition of return check system. This is designed to discourage the custom of - dancers leaving the pavilion to get a " drink between dances. Prohibition, of the selling or serving of liquor on the dancing floor or in the building - adjacent : thereto and, acces sible without the person fat the dance having to leave by the entrance to the dancing floor. ' . Establishment of police inspection of all dances and requirement that all dance halls be registered. Other provisions of the ordinance have been ' given full publicity at previous "sessions of the health and polios com mittee. Another effort will be made, in all probability; by those opposed to the liquor restrictions in the ordinance, to prevent its. passage at Wednesday's ses sion of the council. - THE COMMERCIAL CLUB James J.

R. 4-N. railroad company. The board also de cided to purchase the land at .Bonne. villa now occupied by the state fish hatchery, the largest in the world. Favored by, all the members of the board, both decisions were made without a dissenting vote, after Governor West, who was present, had voiced strong ap proval of the action in each case. The good work of the fish car with its automatic equipment for taking care of fish enshipment to 'the lakes and rlversfrom the hatcheries for shipment was the strongest reason for the pur chase, The fact - that the hatchery -is no won an entirely permanent basis and Is entirely too important to the welfare or a big Industry to. stand Upon leased ground was the impelling motive for the purchase of the land. Both steps were taken that Oregon's streams might be permanently supplied with game, as well as commercial fish. Governor .West and everyone on the board are enthusiasts in the game pro. pagation movement, and by this step hope to put the game fish department on a strong basis for next spring when an Immense hatching project is to be started and which it is hoped, will far eclipse anything of the kind ever done before. -i The fish car, with ovefc a hundred thousand young fry in glass Jars, was on exhibition for two hours this after noon, from 12 until 2 o'clock on Fourth street, between Alder and Washington. Hundreds passed through it and many for the first time had an actual glimpse of what is being done in the propaga tion line by the state.
