At a meeting of representatives ot the club, held yesterday at tbe Marion, hotel, it was voted thai the first annual session should be held at Salem on the day before the big parade in Portland ot the Rose Festival. The session win be held in tbe bouse of representa tives. After the day's session In Sa lem, the caravan, accompanied by the Cherriane, will leave iu a body for Portland on the following dar. Representatives of the boosting organizations ot the state, In vot ings hold tho first annual session at Salem were of the opinion that it would be convenient to hold tbe business session in Salem and then attend the Boss Festival in Fort land, where every one ot tbe marching organizations could take Dart in the naraae. The Oregon Hospitality club is composed of representatives from the following booster clubs: Salem Cherrians, Newberg Berrijns, Iloseburg Umpqua Chiefs, Grants Pass Cave Men. Coos Bay pirates, Medford Craters, Ashland Utrj- ians. Klamath Falls Pelicans, Van couver Prunarians, Bend Lava Bears, Ashland Gobblers and the Uandon Beachmen. At the first session of represent atives held at Koseburg, Al Pierce was named as president and R. O Snelllng ui secretary. No other stato In the union has a central organization similar to the Oregon Hospitality club. With a caravan of 12 marching clubs to meet in Salem and then travel in a bod" to Portland to tbe Kose Festival, officers of the Ore gon Hospitality club foresee that this state will receive national publicity. E The old Roman arena In Its palmiest days had nothing Judge McMahan's court room for popular favor when yesterday the divorca case of Ovid against Pearl Kumler was up for trial. So In nister. t was the crowd to get into the place, a crowd which packed tho room and filled a part of the hall, that Deputy Sheriff Bremmer. was requisitioned to bring about order. Judge McMahan himself order ed everyone out of the court room but witnesses and friends of the parties because the humming and buzzing of the crowd interfered with the power of the court to hear tho testimony. There also was some interest In testimony. Jack Easter, named &s eo-rc3;iondent, made incriminating admissions on the stand. But Mr3. Jack Easter, a. wit ness for the prosecution, had the misfortune to becomo so excited alio forgot Just when her own children were born, her mind be came a blank under the torrent of questions pouring over her from the defendant's attorney and sh retired In confusion. Tho casii has gone over to await decision on whether an amended answer can be filed, and then fur ther testimony will bo taken.

The corona ot the sun was per fect. The shadow of the total eclipse stole across tbe snow covered land scape, visible about two minute3 before and after the totality. LasU 30 Seconds. The total eclipse lasted for about 30 seconds, as scientists had fore cast. A purple lljht gradually de scended over the earth, forerun ning the total darkness. There was a period of darker purple and black grey light, during which dancing waves of crescented lights wove a fantastic pattern on snow fields, roadways and the sides of buildings. Bailey beads, dancing like drons oi liquid to topas strung on sparkling thread, bung in the sky for Just a moment before the eel i put became total. As they Uickered out the shadow bands flared forth weirdly, heralding the appearance of awe inspiring coro na. It seemed like many minutes rather than a few seconds tint darkness saturated earth aud sky, except for that small portion where hung the dazzling circle of colorful fire. Then slowly the shadow bauds appeared on the opposite side of the solar lunar conjunction. Bail ey beads spread their ochre cres cent again a feature ot the spec tacular eclipse about which the forecasts of astronomers had sal little. By this time iae corona had subsided, chased into invisibility jy the rcgathering spelndor of the sun. A few minutes more and th spectacle turned into the fina stages, looking much as it did in the Initial phase on the reverse like a quarter moon of supcrnat ural brilliance gradually evolving to full moon proportions. Twi light slowly came, day again. T Percy A. Young of Albany, dis trict deputy grand exalted ruler oi the Elks lodge, will make his u nual inspection visit of the local chapter next Thursday night.

Con tractors will have completed their work by April 15, he believes, and little more than a month will be needed tn which to furnish the building. Ceremonies of laying the corner stone will be observed as soon as the weather becomes settled, he promises. One feature of the new building will be a women's parlor, witn a special outside entrance, equippcci with a special reading table and library.

Frame shacks cud (rams buildings, constructed In districts where they are a night mare to residents of that district were cited as ample necessity for a zoning plan which will effective ly assist In the beautifying of the tlty. The Y. W. C. A. drive was en dorsed by the federation aud speakers who talked on the "value of that institution to the city. Centralized management of organ- zed cuarity also met with favor. Condemnation of auto parking at points where street cars take on and discharge passengers was cou denined. A plan was adopted to assist the war mothers in completing their drive for tbe necessary fuuds for the monument on the court bou&e square, Mrs. John A.

OREGON PLAYS I The University ot Oregon bas ketball squad arrived In Salem hist night, preparatory to the Oregon Willamette tilt which is to usher in northweut conference basket' ball at Salem tonight. This morn lug both coaches were feeling pessimistic concerning the chances of their teams. "My men are pretty well rah bed out," said Hilly lteiuhurt, Oregon mentor. "Wo'vo had two hard games in the last two nights." Oregon defeated Pacific university C5 to 21 kut night, aud Multnomah 32 to 21 Thursday night. "They've Improved wonderfully since we played them lust," was the statement made by Itathbun who saw the Oivgon-Multnomuh game. Itathbun further stated! that his team had been able to have only light workouts during the week on account of the poor condition of tho Willamette play ers. Hoberlson, who has been showing up well at forward, wa not In a suit until yesterday, the condition ot his foot keeping him off the floor. Critics have predicted, however, that the game will be closer th.ui the Willamette-Oregon tilt at Eugene- two weeks ago. At that time Oregon defeated the Bearcats by a wide margin.

LIVELY FIGHTS IN PROSPECT NEXT WEEK (Continued from Page One strongest strategical position, not because ot its avowed friends, but by reason ot Its lack of organized opposition. . Proponents of the Mills plan have two distinct forces I to combat, the group that is fight- j Ing their suggestion aud the friends that are rallying to the Jackson county proposal. Prospects are good tor a dead lock that will prevent either plan being submitted to tbe people. Monday or Tuesday should also see three more measures of highly explosive controversial content tossed Into the legislative arena the bills taking from the governor the power of naming the fish, game and Port of Portland com missions, and placing It with tbe legislature. Difficulties in lining up sufficient strength behind all throe proposals to carry them over tho executive veto has just about eliminated the plan ot combining them into a singlo bill, and tho program now calls for separate bills nnd separate battles. The bill shifting control of the game commission will likely be the first sumbitted and will carry the controversy which has fea tured the workings of the commis sion for the past several months directly to the legislators by ask Ing them to rename all ot the present commissioners with the exception of Richard W. Price, who has been active In his efforts to oust A. E. Ilurghduft an secre tary of the commission. To suc ceed Price the trainers of the bill are said to bo undecided whether to namo Rert Anderson, of Med ford, or Mike Lynch, of Redmond I. N. Flelschner. James W. Mai- oney, Harold Clifford and Ben Dorris are said to be assured of retaining their places.

Ratification ot the federal child labor amendment, which early in the session appeared certain of decisive defeat. Is taking on a new aspect nnd those favorable to its ratification are taking heart in a decided change of sentiment among tbe legislators. Assured that there Is no possibility of securing ratification in the legis lature the pro-amendment forces are effectively arguing fur sub mission of the question to the peo ple at the next general election, and many of the solons are in clined to accept the suggestion as an easy manner of getting them selves out ot a politically em. harassing hole, especially some ot those who have ambitions to hold higher offices. The joint public hearing on the ratification question, slated for next Wednesday evening. Is ex pected to bring the whole question to a head. Opposition to the 5 cent gaso line tax proposal introduced by Senator Hall for the Oregon Stats Motor association Is rapidly crys tulizing around one feature of the bill, and unless that feature is eliminated, or modified, defeat ot the bill is practically certain. The bill provides for the re moval of tractors, motor boats and other motor driven contrivances from the tax rolls, and eliminates the rebate they have heretofore enjoyed In regard to the tax on the gasoline they consumed. No provision Is made to reimburse the counties and cities tor the tax losses thus suffered and that, alone. Is sufficient to line up a strong majority against the bill. The loudest voice of protest, however, comes from representa tives ot the farming Interests, who point out that under such a system the tax on farm tractors, for instance, would be trebled. They have figured out that the big eastern Oregon wheat farmer would be paying a tax ot from $175 to $225 a year on his large tractors, and that the smaller machines in more general use on western Oregon farms would be taxed from $100 to $175, depend ing upon the extent of their use. Under the present By stem of assessing these machines as prop erty the tax averages from $15 to $80, depending upon the size, when the tractor Is new, and this amount Is gradually reduced as depreciation upon the machine sets in. lifiwrm- atfff iKTrrrMftr YTOODRY Buys Furniture Phone 511 jalrmilnrtuartt FMRATiMKItg AND JTUNKRAIi DIRECTORS Phono 1660 Efnden Work Moderai Prions Will they look eagerly for ward to the holidays of THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR'S, or Mother's Birthday, when they can return home and again gather around the home table and THRILL MOTHER through and through tell ing her how much better is her cooking than anything in the outside world?
