On Main street JiimI after tha parade (mil passed tha Enterprise office there were not less than D0 peoplo on th four hlorkg between Fourth and Rlshth streets alone.

Wilson, of the Miller Carnival Company, manipulated bis balhsm In a rapid accidental descent to earth about lu o'clock Saturday morning. When the balloon In which Wilson was making his ascent had risen lo a point about COO feet above the earth the bag comprising the sus taining power of the balloon exploded, letting him fall suddenly to the ground. As soon as the explosion told Wilson of his danger he cut loose hla para chute and prepared to alight as easily ss possible. No sooner had be cut loose than he began to drop suddenly but shortly after, the parachute open ing, his descent became more gradual, At that he saw he was In Imminent danger of dropping on the high power wires of the P. K. I 4 P, Co., at the west end of the Suspension bridge, and was compelled to awing himself over to avoid a shock that would burn him to a crisp. With, almost superhuman effort be swung nimseir over, ana a momeni later alighted on the roof of a car standing on Die tracks near the West Side depot, where his parachute struck the wires and was almost In stantly consumed. Ills balloon was completely destroyed. Thousands of people who were In the city to attend Booster Day, many of whom had been attracted to the city by this same ad vertised ascension, witnessed the ac cident and for a moment stood with hated breath as they witnessed the dangor In which the aeronaut waa placed for the Instant, And not one for moment expected him to alight In safety, while men and women turned their faces away not wishing to see hint fall to Instant death. Wilson waa the advertised balloon attraction of the Booster Day show. A large part of tho Booster Day crowd (Continued on page 4.) SINGLE TAX TOPICS UP HNiDfiflfiSMN f ECONOMIC LEAGUE HAS MADE CHOICE OP SUBJECTS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURP08E3 STONE VERY HARD TEACHERS INSTITUTE E GOOD ATTENDANCE AND A VERY PLEASANT TIME FEW WALK FROM BOLTON. The National Economic League, a Single Tag organization, has been can slderlng the proposition of subjects for discussion that may lntere.it the general public. To (bat end It has had prepared a series of subjects und submitted them to the council of the league as to preponderance of Irterest. The ballots showed that the subject of "Direct Legislation Including di rect primary nominations, direct elec tion of United Btstes Senators, Ini'la live, referendum and recall" wis the subject of the most Interest. This was followed In popularity by "Inefficiency and delay of the courts In the admin istration of Justice." The Council of the National Econo mic League has a membership of about 800, representing equally, In propor tion to population, every State in the Union. In Its membership are presi dents of universities, professors, Judg es, lawyers, bankers, merchants, manu facturers, etc. Thus it will be seen that the desire to hear from sub a widely diversified class of listeners Is almost certain to be Indicative of :he desires of the country at large. With (hat knowledge It Is the Intention of the league to give the two subjects noted above especial consideration the coming year with a. view to dissemi nating knowledge along the limi In dicated. The public la awaking to the fact that things are wrong governnientally in many instances, and that changes are needed. Unless a man studies the proposition h cannot expect to team much. And that he may study and learn, and in the end vote according to his new-found enllghitment, this league has designed to Interest the public In those aew governmental to pics in the hope'tbat much good may come from it. a The questions chosen for especial consideration the coming year are two that have been given more or less thought in this State In the past, so that they do not come to the people here with as full force as they vlll in certain portions of the East. At that they cannot be given too aerior.s con sideration at this time, for certainty reform along the lines touched on are needed badly. ALAND GAS WELL DRILLERS CAN ONLY MAKE DEPTH OP TWO OR THREE FEET TO SHIFT. CREVICE STILL CAUSING TROUBLE Hope Held Out That Hard Covering Is Just Above a Lake of Oil Gas Still Present STONE, Or., April 25. Hard luck has overtaken the promoters of the oil and gas well proposition at Stone within the past week. While the dy namiting of the well tore things up some down In tne bowels of the earth It did not soften the quality of the stone and It did not straighten out the crevice In the rock. So far this week the drill has gone very slow in the well here. The rock through which the drill is passing at this time is very bard, and tbe drillers are doing well If they go down two or three feet at a sbf t. That means that It will take a long time to get down to 200o feet In depth If thert is no chaipe In the character of tbe stone. The crevice in tb'; rock Is still there to annoy. Tbe dttll has passed the crevice, however, but at that the crack In the rock makes considerable trouble for the drillers. The rock Is so hard the drill makes little impression and when the drill strikes It on the slant, as' it does when It gets to one side and into the crevice, It glances oil and doesn't make any headway downward at all. - The drillers at the well are doing much speculation as to what will be found when tbe drill passes through the bard rock now being encountered. Some think that this hard rock may be the covering that nature haa "made for the retention of the gas and oil that they ar o find n the lake lying beneath. They prophecy that when the drill passes through this bard shell they are almost certain to find gas or oil, or botb, and so an effort Is bing made to push on and see. The machinery at the well Is work ing fine, and it is the hardness of this stons that now makes progress so slow. Still the drillers make two or '.hre feet each shift, which is certain to get them somewhere if they con tinue to persist . 2:00 P. M.

LU lUlUini! LHM FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN RAILWAY ASKS COURT TO 8ET PRICE ON BIGHAM LANDS. The Clackamas Southern Railway Co., which la constructing a railroad from Oregon City toward Beaver Creek, today filed a suit against M. D. and George Blgham to condemn a strip of land 471 feet long and 100 feet wide for a right of way through Blghara's land. The company values the strk at $73. The property Is In the northeast section of tbe city and was the cause of Bigham having F. At. Swift arrested a few weeks ago for trespass. Swift is conducting the company's operation! at that point The railway company Is represented by Attorneys O. D. Eby and O. B. DImlck. One of the most successful teachers Institutes so far held was that which convened at Oswego Saturday. There wero upwards of an hundred teachers present, with half that number of vis Itors and friends present. This Is the third local institute held so far Can- bv aud Gladstone preceding and all three have been marked with mftre than usual bucccss. Few had the nerve to walk from Bolton to Oswego, and at the last mo ment teams were ordered to convey those who wished to ride; a few did walk, however. State Superintendent of Public Instruction L. E. Alderman was' among the number that rode. Among the visitors present were members of the Oswego school board. The children's program, by the local school, was a very pleasant feature of the day. The dinner by the women of Oswego was greatly complimented. The Institute was held In the village school nnd the rooms were very tastily decorated with potted plants and ferns and flowers. The Osjvego school has mndo a specialty of agriculture and horticulture and has a large number of products to show for Us effort. Clnre D. Morey, the principal, had a surprise for the vlsltlnf teachers be gave each a vegetable plant a'J a flower plant, and he also had a supply of vegetable snd flower seeds that ne added to his other gifts. The program was as follows: "Recitation In History" Fannie G. Porter "Reading" Mrs. S. D. Singleton Address Prof. F. T. Tooze Dinner Oswego Woman's Club Address L. R. Alderman Literary program Oswego school One gratifying feature in the Insti tute work this year, Superintendent Gary says, cornea In the fact that ao far no one has disappointed In ans wering to his or her place on the pro gram each program having been as advertised. The next institute will be held in Oregon City. Saturday, May 13. Aa this will be a central meeting place for tbe teachers In the county It Is hoped that then may be a large attendance. STATE-WIDE EFFORT NOT TO BE ATTEMPTED TAXATION REFORMS TO BE AIDED BY COUNTIES ONLY AT THIS TIME. Window Display Booster Day. One of the pretty window displays that attracted no little attention on Rooster Day was that of Wilson ft Cooke, and crowds stopped at the win dow to view the miniature horse pa rade, which waa operated by water power. In line were horses, Brotger Jones, who had been awarded tbe blue ribbon, several cows, mules, etc View ing the parade was a miniature' dog, whose head moved with approval as the parade passed by. This display had been arranged by R. D. WlUon and caused much comment upon its structure. W. S. U'Ren was In Portland Satur day evening In attendance on the meeting of Single Taxers from over the State, met there In conference as to political moves to be made over the State this year. It was decided, after due consideration, that there will be no State-wide effort to make Single Tax an Issue this year, but hnt what will be attempted Is to be attempted by counties. The concensus of opinion was that many times what was desired in the way of reform could be secured more easily In a small way than In a large. A matter of taxation may Interest Clackamas county this year and not Multnomah. It will win In Clackamas and can then be pot into practice there andMMer, Multnomah seeing tbe good tbe.l comes, will wan( to take it i'p also. But to try to cover both fields at once would mean defeat at the outset, and because of that one would never be Riven opportunity to make the demonstration and thus all Is lost. Single Taxers do not want to lose In that manner and so are plan ning to proceed more Judiciously. ROSE FESTIVAL HAS V OFFICIAL PROGRAM ANNOUNCED FOR THE WEEK JUNE 5-10 DAYS CHOSEN.

Yet this is just what has hapr-ned, according to Governor Oswald West, who talked to tbe students of the Ore gon City high school Friday morning. The Governor commented upon the fact that the only two men In the whole State that Colonel Roosevelt wanted to talk to were W. S. U'Ren father of the Oregon System, and W L. Fin ley, who has achieved national fame through his investigations and writings on birds. It is nothing short of remarkable,' said the Governor in his address at the high school, "that Colonel Rooso velt should express a preference to meet two such men. However, Roose velt is always doing remarkable things. Both Mr. U'Reu and Mr. Fin ley are men who go through the world quietly, without ostenatlon, do ing good and working steadfastly with a fixed purpose. They do not adver tise with a blare of trumpets, but th work tney nave accompnsnea speass for them. "The incident demonstrates clearly that there is something to this world besides money. These two men are what may be termed our humble citi zens, yet they have attracted the at tention of Roosevelt to the degree that he sought tbem out. Clackamas county should be proud of it. You boys and girls ought to be glad that these men are living among you, and their example in working for the good of their fellows, with no thought of remuneration, Is well worthy of emulation." Oregon City Received Settlers. Since the opening of the colonist rates to the western country, Oregon City has been locating newcomers on farms at the rate of a dozen a week. This is according to statements made by representatives of the publicity department of the Oregon City Com mercial Club. No doubt the Eastern ers are atracted to this favored place by the good soli and the proximity to Portland. KEPT THEIR HONEY CARNIVAL PEOPLE FAILED TO PULL THE COIN OUT OF MANY VISITORS' POCKETS. Nehfon Beebe, who killed his broth er Hiram, last January at Clackamas Heights, was discharged from custody Saturday afternoon, after the grand Jury returned not a true bill, following an Investigation of his case. Beebe is 80 years of age. There were no witnesses to the fight to the death of the two brothers. Nelson had been to town and when he returned in an Intoxicated condi tion be said his brother met him at the door with an axe and the battle commenced. Nelson grasped a huge club and in the end he killed his brother, after being seriously wounded himself. The first Intimation that the neigh bors had of the fight was tha appear ance of tbe slayer at the home of George Macklnnis, with a serious cut In his head, a deep gash running along the right side of his face, from which there was pouring a stream of bioofl. Hiram Beebe was found dead at the door to the side of the home. The grass wss trodden down and In many places were to be seen blood spots, showing that the fight had been long and bitter. Hiram lay a few feet from the house, with his nose broken and his face bruised in many places. Near at band was a large club that Nelson had used, and a few feet away waa the ax that Hiram bad fought with, the weapon with which he hadnflict ed a deep cut on the bead of Nelson. Hiram Beebe was 77 years of age, and crossed the Plains In 1862, coming from Iowa. Nelson Beebe was a vet eran of the Civil War and crossed the Plains at a later d?y. The brothers had been keeping bachelor quarters for several years and bad lived In the Mary Roberta cottage on Clackamas Heights for about two months prior to the tragedy. None suspected any seri ous trouble to arise between them. Both men were widowers, Hiram hav ing been married twice. His second wife was Mrs. Catbrow, of Canemah. Hiram had no children, but Nelson has a daughter, Laura, of Red Bluff, Cal. George Beebe. a younger brother, lives In Eastern Oregon, and a nephew lives near Estacada. Tbe grand jury made a careful In vestlgatlon of the case, but Nelson Beebe stoutly affirmed that he killed his brother in self defense, snd that he was forced to fight in order to pre- serve his own life. There was no evi dence, except that of the accused, and Beebe was accordingly given his free dom. . CUTS WILL BE MADE AND PIC TURES SHOWN OF WORK 80 , FAR ACCOMPLISHED. answer the questions propounded. iclpal thoroughfares. Booster Day didn't appeal to the wise old owl" of farmers who came to Oregon City for a good time Sat urday. If one listened Intently -be could hear the money jingle as the farmers and farmer boys walked np and down tbe streets, but little of it waa heard to Jingle in the money box es of the Cara4val people. Carnival people are always losing money, no matter how much they are making it seems to be a part of the business to always have fond recol lections of the good business they did "over in the last county,'' but at that it Is generally believed that the poor mouth stories told here were genuine. Booster Day brought a crowd to the city, and many of those who came spent an enjoyable day at that, bat few who came loosened op for tbe at tractions to. any great extent The condition of the construction work on the Clackamas Southern Rail way was Tuesday reduced to evidence by taking a half dozen photos of the roadbed at as many different points on tbe line of the road. The photos were taken out on the line at points where the road crawls up the side hill on Its way out around the Kansas City hillside, and when developed and printed the pictures will show the true condition of the rlghtofway since engineers and graders have been at work on It. . The number of men at work on the road increases from week to week. More men can be used now than when the work started, and more are being added. There are two gangs working on beyond the Blgham rockplle, and good work Is being done. And the further the engineer completes his work the greater the stretch of road way on which men can work, and on which the company can and will set men to building.
