Tho big rotunda was a mass of color a veritable bower of beauty. Tim great American flags draped clear around it always beauti ful and Inspiring, seemed peculiarly lilting for tho occasion, and they were In evidence everywhere. There was a wealth of evergreens In nooks and cor nern, great strings and wreaths of liolly graced tho walls, or Bwept in curved lines of beauty from the big chandeliers to the walls and corners, vhlle suspended from tho dome, and In tho center of tho rotunda hung an Jmnienso bell of evergreens, Heniillful Decorations 'The governor's room, where the re icoptlon was held, was beautiful be jond uVscrlp.ion, with u. groat poln settla in full bloom on the center ta lie and graceful festoons of snillax, end the same dainty plant, with its curling tendrils, in evidence on all Hides, It was amid such surroundings that not only Salem people, but men and women prominent in nil walks of life 1n tho stato at large, gathered to do lionor to Governor West and his dis tinguished guests. Half an hour be Xoro tho tlmo set for tho reception, guests began to arrlvo, nnd when the doors to the governor's ofllco were thrown open nt 8 o'clock the big cor ridor was filled and tho sennlo and assembly chambers wero also well sprinkled with smiling nnd happy vis itors, Tho guests entered tho gover nor's room from the main corridor, passing out nt tho sldo door near tho senate chamber after paying their re spects to tho genial governor and his Wife, nnd their distinguished guests. The Honor Guests. Governor West and Mrs. West were first in lino, Next to them, Mrs. Lou isa Woods, the vonornblo widow of Oeorge L. Woods, Oregon's third gov ernor, 1806 to 1870. She Is also the sister of ex-8onntor Georgo McBrlde, and of Supremo Judge "Tom" Mc Brldo. Tly her sldo was Mrs. Stephen T. Chndwlck, widow of Oregon's fifth governor, serving from 1877 to 1878. Then came ex-governor Zenas F. Woody and his wlfo. He wag the sev enth govornor of tho state, 1882 to 1887. Everybody in Saloin, and for that matter In the state, knows and likes the genial and mentally young x-govornor, the first to be selected from eastern Oregon to fill the govor r.or's chair, A pioneer, an old Bteam boat man when the rivers were the only big highway, a compendium of knowlodge of the early Oregon days and a most dollghtful and interesting man of the old school, the good old democratic, early days. Seme More of Them. Mrs. William Paine Lord, widow of Oregon's ninth governor, stood next In the receiving line, tall, erect, coin mandlng, beautiful; one who would at once attract attention in any assem tinge anywhere. Mrs. Frank Benson stood beside Mrs. Lord and with her was Mrs. Jay Bowcrman. At the ex treme end of the line, was a man al ways distinguished In any crowd, for physically he out-tops them, and his mental size Is no' misfit for the big lorm. That of courso, 1b T.

That prop erties valued at more than $11,000,000 are Involved In a lumber deal, the hvgest In tho history of California, to be consummated on a cash basis with in a few days, Is reported here today. An eastern syndicate it is said, is to purchase tho .Union Lumber com pany, Its railroads, fleet of vessels and other subsidiaries, extending from Fort Bragg to Wllllts, Mendocino county. The holdings represent about 100,000 acres of timber land and nn annual output of Redwood lumber of more than 100,000,000 feet, shipped from Fort Bragg. .1.. J. Seoffy. who Js acting as broker in the deal, refused to name the men behind the syndicate. C. R. Johnson, president of tho Un ion Lumber company, also was reti cent, but admitted that the deal was all but completed. Bellport, N. Y Jan. 2. Fol lowing a reconciliation by some six weeks, Henry C. Edcy, a wealthy retired Wall street bro ker, shot and killed his young wife in their home on Great South Bay early today, and then blew out his brains. Mrs. Edey, who was 12 years younger than her husband, left last summer. It was reported that she went away with a young man. PRELIMINARY JHEET1XU TO OUTLINE BUSINESS In the final week of his third term as county clerk of Marion countg, R D. Allen met death in the swimming pool of the Y. M. C. A. about 8 o'clock this morning. There is a question whether Mr. Allen died by actual drowning or whether he suffered a heart attack brought on by the shock of tho cold water. He is said to have been subject to cardiac trouble. No other person was in the build ing when the accident occurred. In going Into the pool Mr. Allen violated a rule of the association, which is that no person shall go Into the pool unac companied by at least one person. He did not take a shower before entering the pool, which is also required by the rules of tho association. No Basis for Humor. Shortly after the death of Mr. Allen became known this morning a rumor went abroad that a shortage In his ac counts was suspected and that he may htivo copimltted suicide. David Dra ger, who 1s expertlng nil of the couu- tv books, and those who knew the county clerk best, deny positively that he was short and the suicide theory Is discredited. Expert Drager made the following etntoment for publication: "We have' not entirely completed checking up Mr. Allen's books, but as tracks to show that a bather had left the pool. The probable truth dawned upon Baker, who immediately telephoned for Secretary L. IT. Compton, who ar rived in a few minutes, and at once stripped to Bearcli the pool by diving. He plunged into the tank several times at different places, but failed to find the body. He then said that he would arrange to drag tho pool, but deter mined to haVo one moro dive, which ho did near the center of tho pool. This time ho was successful and brought the body to tho Burfaco. Physical Director Carter and W. I. Slaley had been called in, nnd nR soon as tho body was found Dr. W. L. Merc er and Dr. W. B. Morse wero summoned. All Efforts Are In Vain. Tho four men who wero present when the body was brought from the wntcr worked diligently to resusci tate Mr. Allen, though they realized that there was little hope. All water was removed from the lungs by the time the physicians arrived. The phy sicians, however, continued the pro cess and attempted artificial respira tion. But all efforts were unavailing. Virgil, Victor nnd . Dana A. Allen, sons of the dead 'man, and his first deputy, Stnnlev Culver, wero then called. They realized the helplessness and hopelessness of the situation. Coroner Clough was called and the body removed to the morgue. The sons stated that Mr. Allen had been subject to heart attacks.

Terrible conditions i In Albania, one of the stumbling blocks in the peace negotiations be tween Turkey and the Balkan Btates, are told in a written appeal to the powers, received hero today from Is mail Kaimal Boy, president of Alban ia's new provisional government. '"This new nation," Ismail Bey writes, "just arisen to liberty, is me naced by two perils that of the un restrained Turkish troops on ono bund and tho Greek soldiery on tho other. The Turk are scouring the mountains, sacking pillaging and burning, and tho Greeks, flushed by victories over the Turks, are remedy lug their deficient commissary service by taking foodstuffB from our citi zens. "All Albania Is living In terror. Wo cannot defend ourselves when we have no army. Intense cold and deep snows prevail in the mountains, and the blockade o the coast prevents bringing food supplies from outside sources. . 'The situation here is so dosporate that we do not talk any political ueslion, but only of the lnuiuanltnr- ian problem. We are dying from hunger, and are fighting hard to pre vent epidemics. "We hope tho great powers of Eu rope will watch tins utile country ith its political and strngetic im portance and save ub from complete and absoluto ruin."
