Milton A, Miller has been chosen by Will iam J. Urya,ii as ono of a commit tee of 20 personal friends who are incited to select the party which he and Mrs. Erytu intend to dire:; on a tour of the Holy Land luxt .spring. In a personal letter re- cuiveu by Mr. Miller yesterday Mr Bryan stated that his aim was to revive the enthusiasm for genuln Christian pilgrimage to ancient relinjous i nnnei Mr. Mil'.e- saij that he had tak en the matter under consideration ana migiu ifxui2 io mane tne :rip. llu was coin ijued that a number of Oregon people could bo per suaded to uccon.pany Mr. Bryan on his pugi'.nutgu. , The tour, wliidi will be of two months' duration, is described by Mr. Bryan as a cruise with th'U avotved purpose of "deepening re ligious experience, rather than pleasure. Mr. Bryan will deliver a series of add reuses that embody his belters and enthusiasms and that are suited to the places visit ed by the party. Among them will be an dddrts on Mars hill, Athens, su appreciationof the career of Mcses while crossing tfci land of Goshen, his famous oration on the "Prince of Peace" over the manger at Bethlehem, an interpre tation of the passion In tho Gar den of Gethsemaue and a service beside tha garden' tomb at dawn on Easter morning. During the voyages Bryan will conduct his usual Bibl'j clasr.es. 'It is n fitting climax to the career of Mr.' Br an," declares the descriptive folder, that after his years of strenuous devotion to his country and to the great moral cuises he should now lead the hearts of Christ.' as people person ally to tin Holy Land and share with them his wide experience of life, tho ripened maturity of his thoughts and the inspiration of lus religious convictions. The f older further declares that "it is not r-ce4iry that the pil grims Ghou'J think as Mr. Bry.in does on eltntr politics or religion. but urge3 that it Is highly desir able that they be sympathetic to a religious view of life.'

TO HAVE CHIEF The main office of the Cosmo politan chain stores wilt be estab lished at the store being built at Salem, it was announced this morn ing. The Cosmopolitan company at present has 5 stores located at various points In the Willamette valley. A location has been secur ed at Eugene, but construction has not yet been begun there. Tho offices, from which the com pany's business throughout the val ley will be directed, are being built at the rear of the Cosmopoli tan store hero. The stor eitself Is rapidly assum ing form, the old Liberty theater which formerly occupied the same si to having completely lost Its identity. The store building will have a double entrance and three sections of display window. Shelves counters and other aparatus are being built inside. Elvery effort Is being made to make the building ready for uso by the middle of .VUKUSt. The Cosmopolitan company han dles small staple goods of nearly every kind ranging in price from 5 cents to one dollar. The groc ery department of tho Salem store will be located In tho extreme back of the store room, and will be op erated on a basis similar to that of the Piggly Wlggly stores. A basket will be given -each custom er when he goes Into tlie grocery department, and a cashier will be stationed at the exit to take his money as lie goes out. STATE TO PAY N LLS FOR USE OF MOTORS Claims of state officials and em ployes for the use of their privately-owned automobiles and a mile age basis will no longer be allowed by Secretary of State Kozer as auditor of public accounts, where other and Immediate means of travel arc available, says a state ment by Kozer Saturday. The statement is addressed to all atate officials, members ot boards, com missions. Institutions, departments and state organizations. Heretofore it has been the prac tice to allow 10 cents a mile on these claims, and from some ouar- ters has arisen the cry that the privilege is being abused. "In these cases," savs the state- ment, "where there are no reason ably regular means of transporta tion either by rail or stage, the claim for the use of a private car must be nrrirmatlvely supported by nn affidavit to the effect that there was no such immediate and available means of transportation for the travel necessary in the performance of the official bus! n ess transacted. Where private conveyance f motor vehicle) may he used in lieu of regular railway or motor stago transport at inn only the regular fare or trans port at ion charge over such mil- way or stage line will be allowed." 'Tn view of (he development and extension of the hiKbwavs of (be state and the growing use of (he automobile In tho transact Ion of public business nn account of lis immediate- avnilnhility nnd gen eral convenience,' the letter says further "there has ben nn In clination on the part of public officials and employes to operate their nrivate motor vehicles In connection with their official duties and to rhnrge for the use of same nt a fixed rate per mite be tween the points of travel, with th development of the highways has also come the establishment of motor stages between various cities and towns and almost everv improved hlghwav throughout tlie state. While possibly there ha been no premedlnted nse of the nrivate vehicle In preference to the railroads and stage llnea in the transaction of public business. It. Is, nevertheless, apparent irom ttio exnens Halms of many state officials and emplnves that the nrivate vehicle is often used ami charged for on a mileage insl when tho railroads or stacks nr lust, as readily available nnd nt a much less cost to the state for the service to be rendered." tr,i rEinhi of Salem thlfl morn inr anh.red the employ of the tate eocretarv of state, tnhinir the plnre of Mr. Hamilton.
