BANQUET PLANS COMPLETED
Everything in Readiness for This
Evenings Affair.

Arrangements have been completed
for the Commercial Club banquet
which is to be given this evening in
the High School building.
1t was at first planned to hold the
banquet in the athletic quarters of
the school building, but as the cook
ing room is on the second floor and
the athletic quarters on the ground
floor it was decided last evening by
those in charge of the banquet that
it would be asking too much of the
girls of the cooking class to have
them carry all of the dinner down
the stairs, and therefore the seats
of the seventh and eighth grade room
on the second floor have been taken
up and this room will be used for the
banquet. ...-...
The entire dinner is being got up
by members of the high school cook
ing class, under the direction of Miss
katherine Crest, who has charge of
the cooking and sewing classes.
The program will be the same as
was announced in Wednesdays Pho
neer.
The banquet table will be set for
120, this being the number which
have given notice that they will at
tend.

Hamilton, Ont, Jan. 20.-Robert

American and who recently came here
from Cornell university, probably was
fatally injured in the Grand Opera
House. Several soldiers were on the
stage when one of the sword blades
flew off the handle and over the foot

for the state university. The total
amount requested by the board Of
regents amounts to nearly $780,
600. On top Of this a request was
made of the Senate, yesterday, to
pass an appropriation for $4,000
for the Elliott Memorial Hall fur
nishings on the University campus.
Senator Nelson thought an itemized
list of these furnishings should be
given. This caused a sharp tilt
between the city and country mem
bers oyer the general proposition of
appropriations for the university.
The city members were eloquent in
their defense of shoveling out the
coin while the country members, ad-
hitting that the university should
be properly cared for declared they
had to answer to their constituents
and intimated that said constituents
never go into raptures over big ap-
preparations for the university. Out
of the total amount requested by the
board of regents, $1,5OO,OOO is to be
used by the agricultural college and
it's sub stations at Morris, Crookston
and Grand Rapids. A levy of half
mill tax to supplant the present .23
tax is urged for the general support
of the university.

A combined effort is on to stop the
disorderly scenes created by drunk
Ell men on railroad trains in Mime
sofa. This is of peculiar interest
to northern Minnesota because the
sturdy, but thirsty, lumber-jack is
notorious offender in this regard.
Senator Frank Clague of Red
Wood Falls has taken up the ques-
ton in the Senate by introducing a
bill similar to one already in the
House, which makes it unlawful for
any person to enter a railroad train
in an intoxicated condition.
The bill further provides that no
passenger shall drink Intoxicating
liquor On board any train except in
a compartment licensed to sell liquor
or liquor lawfully served under pro-
lection of a license.
Persons or corporations who vio-
late this law may be fined from $25
to 500 or imprisoned from 80 to
80 days in county Jail.
The conductor is given summary
authority to make arrests with or
without a warrant. Such person
thus arrested will be turned over by
the conductor at the first station to
any policeman or constable who will
make out the complaint and bring
the offender before the justice of the
peace for trial.
Conductors are authorized to- take
liquor, giving the owner a receipt,
and the owner may redeem his LIQUID
property within ten days by present.

that did not satisfy; 1t was mental
culture with the two councilmen
and especially DurDin and he arose
to his feet, and after handling lot
of figures on the subject, in an Off
hand way, and saying that he did
not know whether this or that piece
OF machinery was included in the
purchase, stated that he would vote
against the ordinance, unless given
moro time to consider 1t.
Leaves Chair 70 Talk.
Mayor Lachmund was also anxious
to have the ordinance pass. The
council had wrestled with it for near
ly two years, he said, and it had been
referred and re-referTed again and
again to committees for investga-
tion, Three engineers had examined
the plant, and reported their find
ngs; and the subject had been CIV
en- all kinds OF publicity in the
council chamber and during the cleo
tlon, umd he felt there was no need
for further investigation
Like Huckestein, he wanted pure
water for Salem, and wanted the city
to get down to BUSINESS, and get it.,
and he urged the council to take fa-
vorable action.
Councilman Pennebaker was the
last to speak and, like Durbin,
wanted more time to consider and in
vestigate; and, like him, he gave an
offhand discourse about the value Of
the plant and the machinery In gen
eral. and sang the same old song
the price too high.

EXPLAINS
THE NEED OF PRAYER
IN THE LEGISLATIVE AND AS
SEYERATES HIS WILLINGNESS
TO INTERCEDE At THE THRONE
OF GRACE.
Me. President:


I arise to a question of personal
privilege. was surprised and
shocked to read in last Thursdays
Oregonian the statement that, though
requested by you as president, to
open last, Wednesday mornings ses-
sion with prayer, | had refused. On
account of the adjournment this is
the first opportunity / have had to
deny the canard.
For the reason that my name, with
the accent on the last syllable, sug-
gests a degree of holiness, of sancti-
ty, fitness to lead in prayer, and
have always tried to live up to my
name, this untrue accusation of i'm
piety has caused me much concern
and chagrin.
I am being censured on all sides for
my irrelgion. When | first saw the
article | became very angry and
vowed to wreak vengeance on the edi-
tor for publishing this story, but on
thinking it over by anger cooled, my
desire for revenge left me when
thought of St Paul's Injunction found
in line 26 of Chapter w of his letter
to the Ephesians, where he says: BE
ye angry and sin not"
When | returned to The Dalles last
Saturday my former friends in that
strictly and truly religious town, in
stead of warmly welcoming me home,
as is their wont; instead of heaping
congratulations on me for my states
manship and foresight in introducing
the resolution to provide postage
stamps for the senate, met me with
eyes askance. upbraided me both
from a worldly and spiritual stand
point; called me unchristian and
asked if 1t was true that l. as their
representative, had refused to pray
for them when they felt, the legisla-
ture being in session. they were so
sorely in need of all the prayers
available.
They looked at me with such accus-
ing and discriminating glances, such
doleful and sad faces I felt like some
unmasked backslider, apostate, hypo-
rite
No, Mr.. President, did not refuse
to pray was not asked to pray.

self of the opportunity to Batter at

would have repeated the prayer which
was posted on a schedule of fees
which hung up in the county clerks
office at The Dalles when | was a
small boy. 1t was during the time Of
the old fee system there was posted
up the long list of fees which county
clerks and other county officers
could charge for their services; at the
bottom of the list someone had writ
ten this suppllCation God save the
commonwealth"
Had been requested to pray for
this legislature | might have hesi-
tated on the theory that seme things
are beyond salyation-are past pray
ing for-indeed, might have been
justified in refusing, replying on the
doctrine of the Theologians, that out
of a we'll known but not often men,
