After a bountiful inner the program was taken up. Miss Cox, Red Cross worker, ex plained the activities of the organ iaztion in ths way of home service. The afternoon had been set aside for the discussion of the measures up for decision in the election and conisderable interest was aroused in some of them. The home mar keting bill was stated as a measure to offset the in fluence of the Non Partisan league. It has worked well in California and the meeting endorsed it although there was some opposition. Single tax aroused considerable iscussion but did not get any sup port when it came to a test of ap proval in the meeting. Compul sory vaccination wat also advocated after an interesting talk by Dr. Price in which she told of the rav ages of the real small pox in places where it has favorable conditions to work on. In speaking of the two measures affecting the sessions of the legisla ture, the divided session and the sixty day session, Senator Patter son said he did not wholly approve of either although he thought the sixty day session was the better of the two as regards merit. About as warm a discussion as any was aroused by the Malheur lake bird reserve. Mrs. Patterson said she favored it for sentimental rea sons, desiring that wild bird should not be exterminated and might con tinue to come and go as formerly. Prof. Gilmore favored it for prac tical reasons as the birds have a service in agriculture and are an important aid to the farmer. Mrs. Wm. ' Riddell, Jr. thought the per sons . who saved the pheasants for hunting should pay for the feed they took and as for robins there were at least two for every straw berry that tried to ripen. A. M. Arant had been in the Malheur lake region and said the lakes could be drained to yield very useful crops. The oleo bill was discussed and it developed that many do not know that there is a national law that requires oleo to be plainly branded, forbids coloring and requires re tailers and wholesalers who sell it to take out licenses. The measure providing for four year terms for county officials did not get the serious attention it might have done, one speaker as serting that one year terms were long enough for some of our offi cials as recalling them appears to be suchja cumbersome process. The Port of Portland bill was favored as it is only a measure giving Portland Port a right to tax itself and as for the five percent law, it failed to find any defender and wasrsolemnly interred beneath a flood of oratory. Mr. Beattie, who returned last week from a long trip into Eastern Oregon in the course of his Normal work, states that on his trip he met with all sorts of weather," tnow, rain and drouth, and patronized all sorts'of transportation but found prosperity generally prevalent.
