Willamette may hare a, better

-hare speed and in their last game
; a gainst OAC they showed real
.passing skill. Against team that
couldn't jsimply reach i over and
'take the j ball anywhere and hang

fine chance. . While they are no

STORY OF On
CAPITAL IS TOLD
judge Harris of Supreme
Court -Principal Speaker
At Rotary Luncheon
The movies never got hold of
a plot as grotesque as tne story
of Oregon's capital as it was told
Wednesday at the
Rotary , club
luncheon by Judge Lawrence T.
Harris of the Oregon supreme
court.
The state capital Btory is a
three-jointed affatr, like the trllo
bites or three-jointed fossil shell
fish of. say 'leven million years
ago. The nrst was tne provision
al government - stage. . from 1S43
to 1849; then came the territorial
age. lasting up till 1859,. when
statehood began.
The capital was at Oregon City
for a while, but in 1851 the legis
lature was meeting in Salem, and
the supreme court, or at least two
of the three justices, convened In
Oregon City. Governor ' Ganes,
who came out from the east, had
brought $50,000 of federal funds
to ! build the , territorial capital
buildings and he spent the money
in Salem. 1 The government didn't
care, especially, who got the capi
talistic plum, but the orders came
that only those who were actually
operating the territorial machine
erv from Salem, where Uncle
Sam's capital money had been
spent, should draw federal pay.
This brought the Oregon City
judges to a compromise like a
man and his wife settling the
color of the house painting and
the curtains they agreed to go
where the money was.
During the war of capitals.
with two supreme courts; sitting
In rival towns, two codes were in
operation in Oregon; one of them
said one thing and the other
might y "You're a liar" to its
code. Iowa was still a territory
and under federal control
The peace resolution that set
tled the capital unified the codes.
and also located the state prison
at Portland and the university at
Corvallis. They have , migrated
since that time, but they were' a
part of the peace offering on the
capital location.
There was one early, Incon
elusive rote on the location cf the
capital, with Salem, Portland. Eu
gene ana Corvallis in tne race.
Two years later it was taken up
again and Salem hung the Indian
sign on all the other competitors.
The seat of government has re
mained in Salem ever since.
Judge Harris has spent much
time In getting the accurate his
tory of these capital migrations
and threatenings, and his story Is
highly interesting. The factory
whistles cut short a most pleas
ing address. - ;
The club devoted some time to
singing, under the leadership of
Chorister Dan Langenberg. J. J.
Evans took up a section of the
Rbtarian code for a brief . expo
sition. A male quartet, intro
duced by Chairman John McNary
as "the quartet that helped Wal
ter Tooze to elect Pierce, gave
some much appreciated selections.
