tion of Women's Clubs, in session at

Stephen A. Lowell, of this city, re
turned home this morning from Ba
ker, where yesterday he delivered an
address before the convention.
"The general feeling Is," said Judge
Lowell, "that the meeting will result
in much benefit to the state of Ore
gon. Resolutions that are worthy of
serious consideration by the people of
the state are to be pusaed today.
"The federation desires that the
state provide a reformatory for girls.
The one for boys is the only public
institution of the kind in Oregon. A
resolution asking the legislature to
Institute the probation system for
convicts will be paaRed. The parol
ing of convicts in the state of Wash
ington has demonstrated the practi
cability of such a move.
"I believe the matter of a juvenile
court is to be discussed today.
Judge Lowell poke on the work of
the state development league. The
meetings at Baker are presided over
by Mrs. T. T. Geer, wife of the for
mer governor. Mrs. Samuel White,

Two days of liberty were sufficient
for John Wa-lletsle, Umatilla brave,
who was released from custody Tues
