The initial game Of the sea-
son for the Mo. Valley tilst foot.
ball team was won from the
South Omaha Shamrocks Satur-
day by a score of 90 to 0. The
game in many respects proved
to be good one from the
spectators viewpoint, but the
constant delay owing to the
poor physical condition of the
players and the heat, spoiled
the good effects of the play.
The Valley boys clearly out
classed their opponents in
every department of the game,
making almost any gain they
desired, while the Shamrocks
were utterly unable to gain an
inch. The Valley team showed
bursts of fine team work and
at times ran the ball like vet
Grams, and again playing like so
many novices. However, it
must be remembered that it
was the first game for the
team, and in some instances for
the players, and too much was
not to be expected. The work
of the linemen could not be
improved, especially on de-
Tense. The Shamrocks' plays
were smashed and the runner
tackled by our charging line
men on every play they at
tempted. Only once did they
find a hole, when DAILY went
through 4. Coulthard, to be
thrown back for no gain by
Beagle. On every other play
they attempted they were
thrown for a loss. On offense

The crowd wasn't as big as
we anticipated, but we hope
for better attendance at our
next, which, if they don't miss
the train and no Ak-Sar-Ben

The Commercial College has
a dead swell team and we won't
make any twenty-five points
against them, yet we honestly
believe we can out-foot them in
the race for touchdowns and
while it is the unexpected that
always happens in football,
still we think the game will go
to us. If not, it won't be be-
cause we didn't do our best,

bilities have been so large that we have
been unable to meet them with the

our boast.
"We were notified that if we declined
to adopt the proposed plan OF the su-
preme lodge we would have to as
sumo and carry the deficiency which had
accumulated and is constantly accumu-
lating on the class of members over the
age of 55 years. As we have in round
numbers about l 400 in this class, it VII

ate by time, into the higher ages, when
their payments will not pay their cost.
Our present plan is not yielding enough
to pay our current death losses"
The report caused general excitement.
Delegates and members rose and de-
manded the floor simultaneously. 1t
is stated that majority of the members
also from Portland are opposed to the
change.
Before the discussion began the con-
stltution of the Oregon jurisdiction was
amended to conform to that of the su-
preme lodge in regard to divorced wives
of members. The amendment that was
adopted is as follows:
"In no instance shall divorced wife
of a member be designated as his
beneficiary, nor shall divorced wife
of member remain his beneficiary af-
ter divorce.
"In case a member and his wife who
is a beneficiary be divorced, then the
benefit shall be paid as provided therein
in cases where the designated bene-
| ficiary is dead"

W0RKMEN HAVE
HEATED DEBATE
Grand Lodge Members Disagree Over
Problem of New Assessment Plan

Portland, July 20 There we're vehem-
ent discussions and clash Of forces at
today's session of the twenty-sixth ann.
ual meeting of the grand lodge Of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen of
the jurisdiction of Oregon. The discus
sion took place during the consideration
of the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution, whereby old members shall
be assessed larger sums, which occupied
the greater part of the day, and the clash
develop6dahis afternoon when two op.
posing factions began a spirited contest
for the election of officers to serve dur
ing the ensuing year.
The session was presided over by
Grand Master George Durham and was
opened by the report of the COM
mittee on distribution, which had segre-
gated from the annual report of the
grand officers certain portions to be sub
mitted to the officers of the grand lodge
and the supreme representatives In the
report of Grand Master Durham he al
luded to the proposed change from what
is termed the classified to the level plan
of insurance, The report said:
"Our grand lodge, with practical unan-
Unity, declined to adopt the proposed
plans, believing that we were strong
enough to continue business indefinitely
on the classified plan now in force.
Strenuous efforts have been required to
retain our membership and gain recruits.
This work has been prosecuted under
much hardship. Many of our members
protested against changes, others bolted
at once, and feeling of uncertainty
and apprehension paralyzed the efforts
of many more. 1t must be admitted

THREE HUNDREDMEN
A LARGE FORCE EMPLOYED ON
ELECTRIC POWER PLANT.
A Night Shift Has Been Put on and
the Construction Work Is Now
Being Pushed.

There is nothing but active activity
on the construction work of the big
electric power plant that is being install
ed on the Walla Walla river above Mil
ton. On the company's payroll there is
now 300 men. The work never stops as
a night shift goes on when the day men
quit.
The principal work now being done
is on the excavation for the six-mile pipe
line from the point where the dam is
located to the power house. Men who
are skilled in construction work of this
character are employed by the company
and progress is being made to the ex-
tent that in all probability the plant will
be in working order by November.
Poles in carload lots have been arriv-
ing in Athena for some time and have
been distributed along the line by men
and teams.
