nominating committee was called up
on to present her motion, and it was
arried. The second nominatinE
committee of three retired, and in
few moments returned with an en-
tirely new slate, with the ten mem
bers for the board Of directors as al
lowed by Pendleton and the new
charter. Some of the old familiar
names nominated the 14th by the
committee of five were there. Seven
were missing. but this loss was more
than compensated for by substitut-
ing the treasurer's name (Mr. w. l..
Thompson) to fill their places. The
objections following these pro.
ceedinSs were to the effect
that the members at large
should have been notified that such
act was contemplated. 1t was point
ed out that members having in good
faith permitted their names to he
placed in nomination by the first
committee of five, had every right
to contest, swell as emembers who
voted for the same. That the writer's
objections were greeted with cat
calls, jeers, laughter and criesc OF
put her out would indicate that
the house was packed in the inter
ests of a political coterie, rather
than a chapter at large.
There having appeared in the coll
umns of the Tribune of the 10th inst.
an inspired editorial accusing a mem
Der or members of telling half truths
to the injury of the chapter ana
otherwise attempting its assassina-
tiOn. the writer choose to admit she
had stated half truths relating to the
business affairs Of the chapter and
was ready to state the whole truth
and embodied in motion the strict
ures made previously in reference to
the Round-Up concession. The
motion also asked that all records,
invoices, bills, receipts and reports
OF whatsoever nature from whomso-
ever he submitted to the house then
and there for inspection This was
voted down with loud laughter.
Now. the writer's last and final
objection one long seated and deep
ooted is presented in these ques-
ions: Why should women be asked
o step down and out of control of
my society they have organized and
Jioneered to the success obtained by
he Umatilla County Red Cross Chap |
cr? Because it may have assumed |
he proportions of political lever. /
II the calm light of the facts pre- /
ented the writer feels sure that her .
criticisms and objections Will be sus-
aimed by many. That much has .
'een accomplished by the chapter
vas not the work of any one officer
r officers. 1t was due to the united
forts of a generous public and the
women workers in
nd out of the auxiliaries. The writer

ot be exploited in the interests OF

The facts We're made known in the
final hearing of a long protracted
case, when "Alvo" ct al by losing

The suit was that of the Red Cliff

has been pending for the past two
Years, and which was finally dispos-

1t was an action in which the plain

ON Vancouver island. The original
price was something over $2,000,000,
and about $1.00O,OOO had been paid.
A judgment for some $3.50 600 for
payments due had been obtained,
There remained something like l.
100000, with the interest, which was
payable in 1921.
The application for foreclosure was
abandoned because it would have |
been in the nature of a forfeiture |
and the present action was taken for |

and owing should be a first lien on |
the property; that the property |
should be sold and that the plain

DDS to make shipyard work safer
We're discussed here today at a con-
ference between the shipbuilders and
o. p. Hoff labor commissioner.
Hoff recently completed a visit to
most of the shipyards of the state in
which he investigated the conditions
under which shipbuilders We're
worked. He declared today that he
had found that none of the ship
yards have provided any sort of
railing to keep men from falling
from scaffolding around ship hulls.
This he considers the greatest point
of danger,
Commissioner Hoff held a confer
ence with his deputies here yester-
