in Corvallis under the stimulus of
Special Deputy G. Burroughs and
local members. A wholesale in
itiation occurred at their lodge hall
Wednesday night at which As new
members were taken into the or
ganizatton This order had its in
ception in Portland, Oregon and in
a short time its work has extended
throughout Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montann and California.
In addition to the usual fraterna1
insurance conditions, anumber ofat
tractive features are set out by the
Lions among which are sick, acci-
dent, old age and funeral benefits. A
Joint certificate, claimed to be the
most desirable feature ever offered
by any fraterna1 order, is issued by
the Lions. Any two members of a
family may unite in a joint cer-
tifcate at cost of a rate and a
half on two persons.
The order Is not content with
the increase already secured in its
membership here, and as an ad-
ditional means of attracting atten-
ton it has secured an exhibition of
Edison's 1903 stereopticon and dis
solving apparatus, which alto
gethcr produces most charming
entertainment. A recent similar
production under the auspices of
the Woodmen of the World, gave
excellent satisfaction. The enter
tainment is to be given at the OPP
era House, this, Saturday evening.
Prices of admission are 10 and IS
cents.

Great crowds are coming to Montgom- ary to attend the inauguration into ofnce of Governor Jelks on Monday. January 19
 As the plans for the ceremonies attend ing the inaugural begin to assume definite shape members of the committee of Mont gomery business men which has charge of the matter for the Commercial and Industrial Association, express the opin- ion that the inaugural will be more large iy attanded than ever before in the his- tory of the State and that the military parade win be record breaker from the viewpoint of size and representation.
 Some time ago at a meeting of the commarclal and Industrial Association, President Alex Rice, of that organization, was authorized to appoint a General Committee to prepare s.. adequate pro- gram of inaugural ceremonies. It was pointed out that Governor Jelks would so into ottice m an epoch-making period of Alabama's history: he would be the first Governor under the new State Con- stitution and consequently the first Gov ernor to serve straight term of four years. The Association resolved that it was incumbent upon the business element of Montgomery to prepare program of inaugural ceremonies in keeping with the importance of the occasion.
 In accordance with q resolution adopted by the Association the following Commit tee on Arrangement was named: Alex Rice, Chairman; J. K. Jackson, Phares Coleman, L.. Strauss, J. l.. Gaston. Charles B. Teasley. George W. Jones. M. P. LeGrand, R. F. Ligon. F. P. Glass, Lee H. Well. H. c. Davidson George w. Ellis, B. 8. Greil and E. B. Joseph. Jr.
 This committee was divided into sub committees and work was begun to raise a sum of money adequate to pay the ex- pense of, the inaugural ceremonies.
 Committee Met Last Night.
 At meeting of the General Committee held last night at the rooms of the Com mercIal and Industrial Association. the subcommittee on Finance reported ex- cellent progress and a tentative program was arranged.
 Chairman Charles B. Teasley of the subcommittee on Finance reported that a partial canvass of the business district had been made and that responses were universal and prompt. He said every one approached seemed anxious to contribute ao the fund and added that he felt sure no difficulty would be experienced in se- curing ample funds to meet all expenses By Saturday night he said his committee would have completed its canvass of the business district
 The tentative program agreed upon by tho General Committee embraces stu pendous military parade. composed of companies of the National Guard from every section of the State.
