Kiwing Btrftttmii and rivers now
threatening many isectlony of the

crrWH scurrying to scones of Im
pending' danger today, but dlmtH
ter appeared to have been averted
save in one Instance.
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

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. He
hekah and auxiliary members tak
ing part. The music was fur
nished by the Burton Sifters or
chestra. A special dance was nlso
held In Ihe I, o. o, K. bull for
uniformed membera of the Pat
riarchs Militant and Auxiliary
only.
Military Bouquet.
The ceremonies we,re proceded
ut (1:30 at the Methodist ' church
with a military banquet, at which
over 200 diners were prosent. In
teresting speeches were made by
officers of the stale and national
organlxntfons. including an espec
ially good speech by General Mil
ler. 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. The members will also have j
Initiation work late Wednesday,
night with members from the five '
stato sanctorums taking part.
