Portland Loses in a Spirited!
Contest for the Next State
K, of P, Convention,
OCTOBER DATE SELECTED

lanetta Tomorrow Before the Biff
Tarty to Stared at Oaks.
Marshfleld wu chosen by the Ore
fon (rand lodge. Knights of Pythlaa,
yesterday afternoon, as tha 1917 con
vention city. Tha decision wu by
no means unanimous, although moat
of the upatata knights favored tha
Coot bay metropolis. Soma from east
rn Oregon wanted the convention
held In Portland again as heretofore,
but Marshfleld had coma with such a
convincing plea, with such an air of
unselfishness, that the convention had
to yield to its blandishments.
The MarshfleLd delegation presented
these advantages to tha convention:
Klrst, It in now ready to receive com
pany since the Willamette Pacific
railway Is finished; It Is little known
In Oregon because It has been so hard
to get there; It feels that Its re
sources of material wealth and acenlc
beauty are such as to warrant a bet
ter understanding by others.
ttarshfleld Beats Portland 90 to 63.
On top of this It was pointed out i
tliat W. C. Chase, who had been
urged for the grand Vice chancellor
ship, had withdrawn his name from
the convention that his home county
might with opon heart and clean
hands tell the convention that it had
afaced Its favorite eon that it might
Win the coveted gathering.
And so tne final vote stood: Marsh
field 90. Portland 62.
Along with this decision, the grand
lodge amended Its statutes which
shifts the period of the annual con
vention from August to October, tha
pec If 1p d time being the first Tues
day after the first Monday in the
month. This rule will become effec

ioning his arms and legs.
The government turned a deaf ear
to all pleas for commutation of the
degraded knight's sentence. Petitions
have been coming in at the home office
for weeks. It was in answer to these
that Lord Robert Cecil asserted that
no doubt existed as to the Irishman's
guilt and that the only ground on
which commutation could be based
would be political expediency "a dif
ficult ground to put forth In this
country."

A coroner's Inquest over tha body of

solemn verdict that his death was due

"To use the Irish uprising and the

Sacramento. Cal., Aug. 3. (P. N. S.)
The general trend of California's
birth rate for the past 10 years has
been downward, according to a bulletin
of the state board of health which is
being issued today. From 1907 to
1909 there was a rapid decease. From
1909 to 191S there was a gradual In
crease, but the rate has been decreas
ing from the last named year.
The bulletin declares tttat the death
rate from infantile paralysis is almost
negligible in the state.
"If a small fraction of the energy
that is wasted in spreading alarm
over this disease were exerted In be
half of some of the known prevent
able diseases, our death rate would
be materially lessened," the bulletin
concludes.
