Tonight The final passage of the house num bering ordinance brings at last into the near future the time when we shall no longer have to tell the Inquiring stranger to "go west so many blocks and turn to his right and go on until he comes to a house with a green roof," and so on ad infinitum. Governor Benson regards the pro position of calling an extra session of the legislature dubiously, a mental attitude which appears to be common to a large percentage of the citizen ship of Oregon In less exalted posi tions. During the latter days of the regular session of legislature and immediately after its adjournment, public opinion, overwrought with the excitement of the time, seemed inclined to impute to that body a longer list of legislative vices than any of its pre decessors and to look with pessimistic eyes upon all of its actions. Now when the sins of omission and com mission have been properly credited and all of its virtues have also been fairly written by that safest ol all re cording angels, sober popular after thought, the work of the legislature begins to fall into a more nearly true perspective. It had 4(J days in which to do its work and in the main, it did its work fairly well. It was inevitable that much work should have been done carelessly, wrongly, or left en tuviy uiKione, and tnat much unnec essary business should have been carried through, yet, taken as a whole. tho work of the recent session has been practically as effective as that of uny of the proceeding sessions. There are undoubtedly a number of things that, left unsettled or only partially settled, still call forfurther legislative action, yet it is doubtful if there are, among those things uny that imper atively demand thoudditloual expense (possibly additional confusion in (lueeu iy me introduction or new measures) and trouble incident to the culling of an extra session. The basketball game between the Oregons and the team In Salt Lake City, set for Saturday night, was can celled owing to a disagreement regard ing the referee, so the game with Lebi on the preceding night, Friday, closed the stay of the western team in Utah. The Lehi game resulted in an easy victory for the Oregons, the final score standing 32 to 13. The score at the end of the first half was 13 to 3 but during the second half, the Utah team improved in its work although still unable to cope with its more speedy and skillful antagonists. The scoring for the Oregons was made as follows: Fenton, four field baskets and two on fouls; Shaw, eight; and Morton three from the field. Lehi scored twelve points from the field and one from the foul line. The Oregons left Saturday for Los Angeles and will play in Santa Cruz tonight. Tomorrow night they will be matched against Watsonville. Af ter finishing their engagements in California, they will jump to Oregon, play Ashland and Albany and ar rive in Dallas about next Wednesday. Walter Critchlow, the advance man, will return tonight from Portland where he is arranging for a series of games with the Multnomah Ath letic Club, to be played after the re turn of the Oregons to Dallas. No engagements have yet beeD completed with Corvallis and it is probable that that team will be entirely omitted from the future schedule.
