The rush (or hotel rooms during
:h special session of the leglsla
.ure called by the governor for-De
cember 19, is already well under
way. . By telephone, telegraph, let'
ter and in porson Oregon solons
ire making their wants known to
Salem hostelrles.
It is expected that there will be
a bigger crowd of hangers-on this
ime than during any special ses
sion of the legislature, for besides
i lawmakers, many of whom will
ring tbelr f am lies, there will be
he 1925 fair lobbyists, the rail
tad lobbyists and the jitney lob
vists with total number of about
00 Including the 89 legislators
nd 10 officers of the two houses,
U last but not least, the news-
ipermen.
Nearly everyone wants a room
lth a bath, and right here is
here the hotel manager must uso
'iplomacy. There aren't enough
aths to go round. In order to
lake everyone leel at home, the
rue diplomatic hotel clerk will
milage to arrange his reserva
Idns so that the bath rooms can
m used by two different parties,
vhlch sounds simple enough. But
f by some unfortunate mishap he
lappens to hook op one party who
"for" with another party who
"furnlnst," there is liable to be
jnlsslng hotel clerk, or a legisla
tor unable to attend the session.
In spite of the reservations, ap
rptlmating 75, which have al
'trly been made, hotel men state
iat they will be able to take care
T everyone without sending them
itslde. The commercial travel
ill be slack the week before
Hristmas, which will clear the
ay somewhat. During a short
sion, however, the demand for
el rooms is heavier, for the rea-
that the visitors do not seek
arters in private homes as they
ii during the long 40-day session.
Extra help will be put on by nil
Shotels, and should there be an
ertlow, each manager has a list

carry youthful members of the
ship's company over the rail and
into the sea.
Captain A. H. Peterson, who
said it was the roughest voyage of
his lifetime as a skipper, told the
story of Thyras" exploit in saving
Zeata Zaborowskl, youngest of a
family of five chidren on their way
from Danzig to Join relatives in
the United States.
Zeata dropped her doll over the
rait ana u caugnt on a nail on
the side of the ship," he said. "A
heavy sea was running, but Zeata,
who lg 7 years old, started to climb
aiier me aon. just as she was
going over the side up dashed Thy
ras, who seized her dress and hung
on. The girl screamed and tne
purser ran up and dragged them
both to safety."
Portland, Or., Dec. 8. To save
time, about 45 minutes, No. 17
train was ordered to run west on
the eastbound track between Biggs
and Celilo. There was no ob
struction on the westbound track,
but by shifting No., 17 onto the
eastbound track, running against
traffic,- the connecting switch for
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
tracks could be more conveniently
and quickly made. . !
This wag why No. 17 and No. 12
came together head-on near Celi
lo December 1, causing loss of life
on the main track of the O-W. R.
& N. company. No. 12 was east-
bound. It was expected by the
dispatcher's office to wait at the torn for the conductors to receive
Oregon Trunk Junction until No.
17 cleared. Theoretically No. 12
train did not exist. ?
8uch was soma of the testimony
Drought out at the wreck Inquiry
held by the state publlo service
commission yesterday. The Com
mission is not seeking to fix the
responsibility for the accident,
nor place the blame on company
or employes, but it Is endeavoring
to. ascertain what condition. ex
isted on that section and how. op
erations were conducted at the
tlm of the wreck.
"It was the custom," wag the
explanation made by conductors,
englnemen and dispatchers when
placed under cross-examination as
to why rules for safe transporta
tion were not lived up to the let
ter. ... ,
For example, "it was the custom
for a conductor, when coming to
the Oregon Trunk Junction off the
Spokane," Portland & Seattle
bridge, to telephone to the dis
patcher for orders and to be told
to proceed to Biggs, where orders
would be fixed up. It was the cus
Lthe.e instructions verbally and not
write them down, repeat them over
over the wire to the dispatcher and
give a copy to the engineer. Ap
parently it was also a custom that
there be DO blank forms to receive
these orders at the phone booth at
the Oregon Trunk Junction.
Henry Mehl, 21, la uniHr arrest
at Dallas upon complaint of his
mother charged with embezzle'
ment of several hundred dollars
belonging to the estate of his
father, the late Jacob Mehl.
An agreement has been reached
between the city and officials of
the forest service by which the
Dinner creek watnrshed In the
Umpqua reserve will be set aside
for the use of Cottage Grove.

trict. Forestry officials will have
charge of the road building for the
reason that a greater part of it is
