Ah iti the habitu of the flijodn. yenterday'M only reported break occurred at a. point where daner ir leant expected. While enitf-1 nrer were dlrectlnn forces at three place near Kennett, Mo., the 'Ht. KranclH hounded throufch another weakened bit of levee and overflowed some CO, 000 acren. Today the overflow had forked and won ndvanclnf through the countrywide Jrt two alow stream. Three other points were being guarded and engineers In charge hoped the break had relieved the pressure sufficiently to avert an other crevasse. At Mounds Land ing, Miss., where a break In 1127 sent the flood of that spring across some of the delta's richest landsj and towns, levee board and gov ernment engineers wore supervis ing forces which grew hourly In numbers. Hloughs In the Mississippi river levee there had been checked suf ficiently to give engineers hope that a break would be averted. A request that President Hoover re scind tho regulation - forbidding state convicts to work on govern ment projertd the levees ure fed-cral-bulll had brought no reply save the information that the re fiuoit must come to WaMhlngton through the dlMtrlct engineer.

Tho ceremonies were linpresslvo and were closely watched by the largo crowd, especially enjoying the part taken by the small, at tractive twin daughters. Dale and Gale, of Mr. and Mrs. C, It. Beebc. Dressed In white, tho two girls, not 4 yet five years old. pinned the grnnd decorations of ernnilry on tho two Portland men. Solos were sung during the course of tho two ceremonies and band imiftld accompanied the niarchlng feet of the smartly uniformed Canton and Auxiliary members as they left or came onto the cere monial scenes. The neatly uni formed Medford CBnton, under the leadership of Krank Redden, took an active part during the evening Brigadier lienors! AVndsworlh was nvxlNted by Adjutant II. M. Heck w ith of Ashland In conferring the decorations. -L'pon-the close of the ceremonies, a danc-e was on the program, with the public, as well as I. (. O. K. Canton.

No offlcera were to bo elected today at the opening session of the Hebeknh asssmhly and the day will bo spent In appointment of committees and bearing committee reports. The assembly will prob nbly elect offlcors tomorrow. 01 possibly tho next day. Interest In this year's election Is reported es peclally keen. The Encampment Is another branch of tho I. O o. 1", organisation, like, tho Pat riarchs Militant and thn Grnnd Encampment will Include mostly routine business. A feature of the Hehekah assembly Is a past presi dent's banquet at 8 o'clock this evening, and past prealdenta from all parts of the stato are exported to take past. Tho I. o. O. F. grand lodge will officially .open tomorrow morning at II o'clock with the conferring of tho grand lodge degree, at n special session, and will ho, followed by the regular session one hour later. The election of offlcors by the Grand l,odgo Is also attracting widespread Interest and at least lx candidates are out for the of flee ot g:end master. The offlco next In line attracting Interest Is that of grand warden. ' In order to be a candidate for the highest office, service must first be had In tho office if warden, followed by servlca In two higher offices, taking in all three years before candidacy for grand master can be nssured. llCMtliitlons prepared. Of the several resolutions to be proposed for passage by the grand lodge will be one decreasing the number of delegate! from 10 approximately 100, by enlarging the various- state district. -.TJiui la suggested as a measure b which expenses may be reduced. Another resolution to lje"proposd is that Portland should have the grand - lodge session every third ; year. Portland has not been fa vored many- times with the state 1. O. O. K. sessions, the smaller towns having been regarded aa having better environment for such sessions - The big city Is claimed to have too many conflicting attractions ' not fopnd In a smaller place. Ths small cities are not alwaya ready to undertake the expense of a state gathering and It la aald to . be likely the resolution will be well supported by I. O. O. F. i members from all parts of Oregon. I Another branch of the J. O. O. , P. Is the Ancient Mystic Order of ( the Hamarltan. This corresponds to the D. O. K. K. for the Knights : of Pythloa and Shrlners for thej Masonic orders. , This fun making group will take part In the pa-i rade Wednesday evening, which ' haa been postponed from 6:45 to, 7:30.
