OREOON CITY ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY. JULY 7. 1911. AUQUA ITS BANNER CM (Continued from Page 1.) Superintendent Tooie, of the Ore gon City schools, read the Declaration of Independence, and F. H. Uoyer sang the -Red, White and 01116." Thousand were unable to got seati In the Tabernacle for the afernoon address and Richard Yates spoke to the largest audience that ha ever greeted a speaker at Gladstone Park. Mr. Yates wag formerly governor of Illinois and is a son of Richard Yates, a wartime governor of the same state. He held his audience spellbound for over two hours. Mr. Yates spoke on "The Evolution of Patriotism." He told of the growth of patriotism and paid a tribute to the work of the women In the various wars. Thousands 8ee Game. The thousands who could not get within hearing distance of the lecture- er were entertained at the athletic field by the- Price Bros, and Aurora Reds baseball teams. This game was a fast one and the rooters for both teams shouted .themselves hoarse, cheering their favorite players and urg ing them to greater effort. Other thousands enjoyed themselves walk Ing in the groves and In sitting under the trees. Following the ball game were track contests of various sorts. The first was the relay Marathon between the Cbemawa Indians and the Portland Young Men's Christian Association The start was called at 5 o'clock. The race was over a six-mile course, two team: ef- three each. Chemawa was represented by Dan, Powers and Jim, while Vanderllp, Booth and Barndollar ran for the Y. 11. C. A. Vanderllp, the Y. M. C. A. man, was out of condition at the start and did not run 'a his usual form, while the Indian Powers turned an ankle when about half through with his lap, los ing what advantage had been gained in the first lap. The race was 'as pretty a piece of work as is seen on the cinder path anywhere, but the track being In poor condition for such a gruelling affair was a great handicap to the runners, j AH the men came through in good shape but Powers, who turned his ankle. He ran all of his relay, how ever, which was certainly gamey. The time was 33:2 2-5. Following the marathon were dashes, shot put and other athletic events. The Naval Reserve Band played at the auditorium again at 7 o'clock, the concert being followed by the presen tation of the trophies won In the athe letic contests of the afternoon. Maguire Deliver Lecture. The evening address wag delivered by G. R. Maguire. Mr. Maguire is an Irishman, and a big one. He delivered one of the most interesting lectures that Gladstone Park has ever heard. His subject wae "With an Irishman Through Africa," and was illustrated with native articles of many kinds. Mr. Maguire was the first man up the Congo after Stanley came down and is in a position to tell of Africa in a manner vauchsafed to few men. His audience was a large one, filling the Tabernacle. The only complaint heard anywhere was of the car service which was so inadequate as to be almost a farce. The trip to Oregon City was too short for the conductors to collect all the fares.

The baseball game between the Price Bros, and Aurora teams Tues day at the Chautauqua as one of the features of the day. Opening slow, with the playing decidedly poor the game gradually developed into an un usually exciting one. Up to the fourth inning little wag doing, but then Price Bros, took a spurt and got ahead. The sixth wag wnere Aurora climbed up and tied Price Bros, and then playing became excellent For part of two innings the Oregon City team seemed "rattled," but the boys soon brought themselves to time, and tightened up. Aurora pulled off a beautiful double play. Seven three' Daggers is the record of the Orego City aggregation. The score was to 6 In favor of Price Bros. The last run was brought in in the ninth inning. Several thousand persons saw the game. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A GIC'r lc.

"Do you consider poultry keep ing profitable on the farm?" This is one of the series of twenty- five questions submitted to the farm ers of Oregon by Professor James Dry den of the poultry department of the Oregon Agricultural College. The question was directed to farmers on general farms who sell eggs or poul try at market prices, not to fanciers or special poultry keepers who sell eggs and stock at fancy prices. A farmer has ideas of his own about such things," says Professor Dryden, "but he doesn't go out of his way very much to give the public the benefit of his Ideas, and therein the public 'is the loser. The regretablej thing Is that very few farmers use a pencil and notebook In keeping chick ens, so they must guess a good deal In answering such a question. By long association with fowls, however, throwing grain to them and gathering the eggs, he is able to form a fairly accurate estimate of the profit. "If the farmers are losing money on hens, it means a tremendous loss in the aggregate In the United States. If the loss should amount to 15 per cent on the business, that would mean a loss of about $100,000 000 to the farmers of the United States. One should give the farmers more credit for their business ability than to believe that they are going on year after year doing a business of over half a billion dollars a year, if it were a losing proposition. But lis ten to what they say. Answers to the above question were sent us by 333 farmers, of whom 288 answered, 'Yes, twenty No,' and the rest were noncommittal. A few qualified their answers, and I shall quote some of these. The decision on the question is almost unanimously in the affirmative. Later I shall give some evidence from the Experiment Station. "Among the answers given by the farmers were the following 'A profit able side line.' 'To a certain extent receive income ptherwise wasted.' 'De pends upon circumstances." 'Very much so.' 'From 15 to 30 hens; over that is a nuisance.' 'Not in the strict sense of the word.' 'Yes, to pick up waste. 'Yes, as a side issue. 'Not unless you raise raln.' 'Yes, if kept warm in winter.' 'Of course." 'Mere ly as a convenience.' 'Don't know yet' 'To some extent' "One answers emphatically, 'Yes, more than hogs, sheep, grain, or fruit under present market conditions.' An other says, 'Yes, by all means.' Oth' ers say, 'Yes, best paying on the farm. 'To a certain extent.' 'Yes, up to about 25.' 'Very profitable.' 'Yes much money.' 'Yes. if you have good luck." 'Yes, in moderate doses. 'Yes, if not too many kept.' 'Only for fam ily use where no grain is raised.' 'Yes, to a moderate extent.' 'Yes, if one owns his own farm.' 'Very profitable, 'Yes, for family use.' 'Would not do without hens." 'Yes, pay big profit,' 'When proper attention is given.' 'Not the way we keep them.' 'Yes, in a small way.' '"With good houses, etc., yes; oth' erwise, no,' says one. Another makes a similar reply: 'With proper care and attention, yes; but if not, I say no.' Others say, 'Yes, as well as anything else.' 'Very, if proper per son has them. 'Has not been so far 'Don't think much of it." 'Will be when properly regulated.' 'The most profit able on farm of anything.' 'Fairly; total failure last year.' 'A small flock 'Large farm. Yes; small farm, No.' 'If you have good hens.' 'Owing to the care they get.' 'Yes, if all did as well as the old hens.' 'Yes, on small place. 'You bet I do.' 'Yes, if taken good care of and feeds are kept pure.' 'Yes, on a small scale.' 'Only in a small way.' 'Yes, sir; I got In It this year on a big scale.' 'Where grain is rais ed on the farm.' 'It helps some.' 'Yes, if systematic' 'Yes, if properly handled, though I have not been par ticularly successful myself.' 'Yes, if the waste on the farm is considered, and not too many are kept.' 'Yes, on a large farm; not on a small place. The replies would seem to indicate that the profit is in proportion to the care given the poultry, and the amount of the food raised on the farm.

Then, after taking up a collec tlon for Mrs. Miller and Knottier for a headstone for her hUHband. the meet ing adjourned. There were lawlexn characters in Royal Flush wbo expressed themselves much pleased with this proposed ad vent of the law. The ren.tou for tbelr satisfaction wa that wbeu the vlgt lance committee took tbem In hand they were pretty sure to gel their deserts. That the committee occasion ally made a mlstuke and punished uu innocent citizen did not concern tbem.

Then the witnesses were re called, the services of the lawyers were dispensed with, and the Judge asked the questions. "Bill Evans, you seen the Hhootln'Y" "Yes." "Tell what you een." "I seen 'Light Fingered Jim' walkln' along the street. Tom Flynn come out of the saloon, follered him and shot him in the back." "That'll do. Abe Wilklns. take the stand. You seen tbe shootln'.

"Mike Flynn." said the Jndire. "I sentence yon to be turned over to the committee to be banged." The trial occupied five, the banging shout eight, minutes. It was determined by the clilzens of Royal Flush thereafter that they would retain Judge Lynch for awhile, but be more delllsrMle. No one shonld tie convicted without lith sides having been beard and should not lie banged for murder till the murderi-d person bad had one week after tbe murder to turn up.
