Salem, Or., Jan.-13. While the in auguration crowd still hung about the lobby of the house yesterday after noon. Representative Eaton of Lane county, leader of the upstate contingent,-experienced the sensation of being called to order three times by Speaker Selling. Mr. Eatoif insisted on discuss ing the provisions of the proposed house rules, although Chairman Forbes had not yet submitted the report. Just as Representative Cobb was moving" to adjourn, Mr. Eaton rose to a question of privilege and suggested that Inasmuch as the rules committee had completed Its report, the report ought to be presented. He said the lack of clerical help was already em harrasslng the business of the session and he felt that the members at least ought to be studying over the amend ed rules "because they are in such a dilapidated condition that no mem ber can know what be la voting for.' Declared Out of Order. Mr. Davey declared at this point that Mr. Eaton was out of order, say ing he was trying to get an adverse' opinion2 in the minds of the members before the report itself should be filed. The speaker, railed the same way and Mr. Eaton again attempted to speak. "Out of order, called Mr. Selling. "I am asking the privilege of ex plaining to the members that I . have had placed on each desk a printed statement I prepared showing what my suggestions for the rule amend ments are. The committee has adopted all but the first and second of these. With the rules of the former session, the members can know Just what the status of the rules now Is." "The house undoubtedly appreciates Mr. Eaton's kindness in explaining this," retorted the speaker, "but that is not the question.' (', . eport. About Beady. . , Just then " Mr. Forbes entered the chamber and declared that Eaton 'had absolutely no knowledge of what ac tion the committee had .taken because he had stayed away from the com mittee's meeting ' today. He said the report would be in shape to present in the morning. Mr. Cobb suggested that the rules be printed and be In readiness for the morning's study; but to this the house did not assent. The debate threatened to -last longer when Mr. Llttlefleld trfoved to adjourn. Peking, China, is to have a belt rail way to connect its four railway terminals.

Salem Boreas of The Journal.) Salem, Or., Jan. 13. Aside' from the comment and injured feelings of the friends of four state officials and of the retiring governor, who were over looked or slighted In making up the program or the first inaugural recep tion held In Oregon in many years, the reception given in the offices of the chief executive last night to Gov ernor, and Mrs. -James Withycombe was a pronounced success. It was at tended by 'probably 4000 people, in eluding all of Salem's society folk and many, prominent men and women from other! cities and towns. The reception was given under the auspices of the Salem Republican club. Yesterday some of the women on the reception committee went to Invite Mrs. Oswald West, wife of the retir ing governor, to serve with the com' mittee. This brought to light that the retiring governorhad not been Invited. Members of the Republican club com mittee; say they forgot to Invite him. Ponr Others Overlooked. It developed also tnat the club com mlttees had Invited all the elective state officials except State Labor Com mlssloner O. P. Hof f and the three members of the railroad commission. All of! them are'Republicans. All the other elective state officials were in the receiving party 'last night. Thi4 was explained by a member of the committee who said that the line "must be drawn somewhere. But the friends of these officials failed to un derstand .the reasons for this apparen slight,j and the absence of the officials in me; receiving line causea consider' able comment.
