Besides, It Is the universal feeling that the maintenance of open river boats is in some way vitally re lated to the larger question of tho com pletion of the Celllo canal and the. open lng of the Columbia and nake rivers to uninterrupted navigation. The citi zens of the upper country greatly ap preciate the public spirit of Portland citizens in organizing and maintaining the ppen River Transportation com pany.

Despite an un- fuvurijhlc report by the Hoard 'of Dis trict CuinmiisHioners ;uul the opposition of certain elements, advocates of the Ken yon "Hod Light" hill which passed tho Boliate" h'rlday declare the hill will become a law if a, vote ia taken in the DoiiKe of representatives. Congressman 8. F. l'rbuty, of Iowa, has takn charge of the light in the house, and will tise every Influence to have the hill reported out of the com mittee. Those who are supporting the mensuie day that if thiH in done, there Is no question of the result. Tremendous interest has hern aroused by the bill by the terms of which " disreputahle hojiMe is declared to hu a nuisance, and "Whoever sliall erect, en tahlisl:, continue, maintain, use, own, occupy or lease any such house, Is guilty of maintaining a nuisance." To abate the nuisance tho bill author izes any citizen of the District of Co lumbia in addition to the attorney gen eral of the 1'nitcd States, or the United States attorney for the district, to ask the district supreme court for h per manent writ of Injunction against the place. ' Temporary writs may be granted by the courts. . . SHERIFF PUTS CLAMPS ON BOXING CONTEST "We didn't pull off a scheduled four round boxing match ut our smoker, as Intended, ftcenuse Sheriff Tom Word served notice on the committee 'there'll be nothing doing,' arid we didn't want to get pulled in earnest." Thus Secretary F. V. Mosher this morning explained why tho Portland Its original program for the smoker given in Its rooms in the Multnomah hotel hist week. "The plans were to pull off a little boxing match, just four rounds," he continued, "and we nad arranged for a couple of police officers to break in and arrest a number of our., most popu lar members just in fun, but it was all off when Sheriff Word sent the, com" niittee the notice that there'd be noth ing doing. "Of courst, we could' have pulled off Hie match and took our chance with the sheriff, hut he might" have carried it too- far. lie might pave demanded real cash hail, - whereas the police would have lit us go on our recogni zance. So we cut the match, but pulled off the smoker." Henceforth the club, Instead of giv ing weekly midday luncheons once a week, will give a monthly banquet and smoker. In addition thereto will be the rem'ubir monthly ranee for the club members and their ladies. The next dance will be on the evening of Janu ary at the Multnomah hotel.

In regard to a restricted district the commission reports it . baa found that restriction does not restrict, but on the other hand haa" tendency to promote Immorality and establishing a double Htamlard of morality. It is held that isueh a step would be to spread disease ahd foster debauchery and would en courage white slavery. It is estimated in the report that there are about 3000 professional and seml-profeslonaI .women in Portland, and If a restricted district for 500 of these were established would still operate outside of the district. It Is stated that, restricted districts are heing eliminated in other cities, where they have been tolerated for local's, and Investigation lias led the .'commission to believe that medical in spection made pussible by a restricted district causes a spread of disease by giving' a false sense of security. The commission also takes the position that a restricted district would eliminate official graft, but would rather encour age political corruption. Lack of proper home . training, evil associates, and surroundings are put down as the contributing causes of the delinquency of a great many young girls, drills are named as the pitfalls for many of tlies-e girls.
