FOOD FOR Considerable haa been THOUGHT said of lHte about ths county court and Ita methods of do ing business. Certain Intersects, moved mostly by selfishness and pique, and also by ambition, have pro duced charges which so far have not been borne out by facts, and one by one tho hollow accusations of mis management have collapsed. Through out this campaign of mis-statement and misrepresentation, Tb Enter prise haa refrained from entering In to the controversy, save whea It has. from time to tlnw. printed new-J atorlea dallng with the local situa tion. Thla paper haa editorially ex- pressed Its opinion of the frame-up against the county court, but even at that It has not In any sense cham pioned the commissioners nor tne county Judge. It haa almply tried to i give them a square deal. That will be the policy of The Eu- terprise for sometime to come. This paper believes In the square deal, and it haa attained Its present pres tige in this county largely because It has told the truth to the best of Us ability, and spared nobody to telling the truth. The " Enterprise believes that It Is the duty of a newspaper to print the news, and to print It as nearly correctly as It U possible to obtain It Thla has been tha stand of this paper In regard to the county court matter, as well ss In regard to other matters. There is snother side to this county court business that has not aa yet been brought to the light. Under '.he present control, Clackamas county has been brought to a sound financial basis for the first time since its or ganization. In April of this year the county was sbsolutely out of debt for the first time in its history. More over, It was brought to this condition In spite of the outlay of thousands of dollars for public Improvements sad for needed betterments in the county building. Previous county adminis trations for some terms back have known, for Instance, that the couniy court house waa in need of repair and enlargement Each adminlstra - tion. for reasons of Its own, "passed the buck" to the next The present county court accepted the responsibil ity, did the work in a creditable and efficient manner nd still had the county out of debt in April. The present county court has built a large number of steel bridges for the public highways, replacing old snd Inadequate wooden structures. These bridges cost money. The coun ty court found a way to spend th's money that was required and still bad the county out of debt In April. The present county court has cared for other things In the line of public work. It has cared for the poor, it has contributed as required to var ious development and booster plans and still it had the county out of debt In April. In short the present county com missioners and the county judge have given Clackamas county a business administration. They have accepted the responsibilities passed down to them by previous administrations, they have met their bills, they have served the people faithfully and to the best of their ability and they had the county out of debt for the first time in its hiBtory. Does a record like this look as if these men ought to be recalled on a batch of trumped-up, flimsy and mis leading charges? Does this record make it seem that the present court is incompetent, or is stealing the people's money, or is unworthy of the trust Imposed upon them? In short. Is there anything in this rec ord that gives the slightest excuse ENVY Somebody banks your money why not you? Aren't you as thrifty as the other fellow? A bank account enables you to have what the other fellow has; you and your wife and children won't have to take a back seat for the best The Bank of Oregon City OLDIST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY for recall talk? Any fair, open-minded man must conclude that a colirt that can accomplish these things Is a good court, that In the main It la doing right by the people, and that It deserve the support of the people. THE FATE According to the more OF DATE or less accurate science of astrology, the position of the star and heavenly bodies upon any given day haa an Influence upon the char acter of people born at that time. There are some folks who are scepti cal In regard to this, but It would so,m that there may be something In It, after all. For Instance, tnko the tenth of June. Forty-eight years ago, on thla date, there waa born a child who appeared but Htlo different from other chil dren. This child grew to manhood without attracting much note, anJ then auddenly burst In full glory be fore the world as the most colossal puxxle of modern times. This child in hla prime became the marvelous Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who either did or did not discover the North Pole, and who either did or did not asscend Mt. McKlnley. Volumes haw been written pro and con upou both these mooted points, yet the world Is still divided into those that believe the wonderful doctor aud those who refer to him as the great est liar of history. Thirty-eight years ago on the tenih of June waa also born another child. This child was of masculine persua sion, as was the first. He showed no particular traits that would forecast hls latsr fame un,n ne, t0o, rescheJ man's estate. This child haa written much about himself in the Congres lonal Directory, and In other setul publlc documents, and modestly does not cla'm anything out of the ordinary In hla chlldnood, save that his friends were particular as to the sequence with which they enunciated his many names. But on coming to his prim.?, he too, developed Into a mystery If not a world-wide mystery, at least a state-wide mystery. This child grew to be A. Walter Amidon Lafferty, one of the Oregon Congressional delega tion. Surely the atars must have had something to do with moulding the characters and careers of tht?se two men. No mere terrestrial Influence could have presented them with the fate which has been theirs. Both have been the centers of violent dis cussion, to both the world has been divided Into two camps those who believed and those who did not Both have attained a remarkable amount of disrepute In certain quarters, sal both have bobbed np smiling and ap parently care-free as to what the world may have thought Both have been condemned to a peculiar form of disapproval, yet both have risen unconcerned, as a duck arises from a slimy pond. They are quite a pair, these two men, and it Is fitting that their bir'.h days should be the same. Astrolo glsts should make note of this fact and use it as an argument to bolster up their somewhat discredited science If it can be shown that any practltion If it can be Bhown that an practition er among them ever forecasted the careers of Cook and Lafferty, then that man's fortune Is made, and he will be regarded far and near as a prophet Also a whole lot of people will think It unlucky to have a boy born on the tenth of June. ROOM FOR What public enthusiasm MORE YET and publicity will do was demonstrated Saturday In th course of the Rose Show day features. Oregon City had on hand an even greater crowd than packed her streets during the Booster Days, and all be cause everybody pulled (together and the newspapers were utilized to spread the tidings of what was to come. Incoming trains from the north and south brought their quota of vis itors, farmers and ranchers came In teams and by automobile, the inter urban brought people from PortlanJ, and everybody in town turned out to see the events and to admire the roses. The city was gaily decorated, busi ness was brisk In the stores before and after the parades, and the day was a success in every way. There was in the first place a series of pub lic attractions that were worth while; and in the second place everybody within a radius of 50 miles knew that OREGON AfTY ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY, .TUNE something of moment was going to happen In Oregon City. This Is as It should be. The only thing wrong I that there should be more of It. Oregon City haa enough attractions on Its calendar to get several such aatherlnga here each year. The gatY wrings are good for Oregon City, aud j they are good for the territory adjao- j ent. They get people acquainted, they j establish a greater neignuoriinos. and they Improve trade both at honu and In the nearby communities. Ore gon City and Oregon City people ought never to mlsa such an pior- tunlty they ought to pull together for the Ro.u Show every year, for tho Rooster Days, for tho Fourth of July celebration, for Decoration Day ob servances, for school fairs In short, ;izrr;r::t .:::;;:Hois hick n m mm that Is Interesting and worth wiiue. There are plenty of Interesting ooca- slons. and It la the duty of the cUlxeus to see that they are worth while. The local papers will take card of the pul llclty work; only so that visitors will not be disappointed, the cltlxens mint do their share, and co-operate as they have done this year, aud provide feat ures that will make the elty'e gueuts want to come again aud again. PLAY AND The approaching open LEARNING lug of the teachers' summer school st Gladstone pari:, and the Inlatlon therewith of a new plan for bettering the teaching staffs of the county schools. Is being loot ed forward to with Interest, both by those directly concerned, and by those who take a more or less gen eral Interest In educational work. The Idea of a summer school, with Its outdoor life and Its recreation, la sj different from the usual teachers' In stitute, with Its crowded hours of lec tures and discussion, that practical ly a new world Is being opened up for the Instructors. Probably the new method will be found of great benefit All work and no play makes teachers, as well as the proverbial Jack, dull; and tae utility of the usual teachers' Instltuto is of doubtful quality, both because too much work is attempted In a lim ited time, and because It la usually held at the end of the school year, when the Instructors are fagged out with ths hard labor of driving basic facts of learning Into the heads of youngsters, who want to learn, but who do not know how to grasp the subjects forced upon them. With the teachers' meeting, Instead, In one of the most picturesque spots in Ore gon, with three weeks In which to as similate the subjects of their course. It Is not to be doubted for a moment that much greater benefits will re sult The very fact that their life during the three weeks will be widely dlfler- ent from their life during the school term will be a relief to the tirtd minds and bodies. Outdoor camping will come aa a health-giver to all of them, and as a mind clartner and bracer as well. There will be a nit ural spirit of rest and recreation In the meeting, that will stimulate the Instructors In their own work, and will make for the best results from the gathering. There will be games and sports intermingled with the more serious work of the time, and this will afford a relief Just when it should come to the more serious hours. In short the scheme Is Ideal for the teachers. And, Incidentally, It will raise s question in the minds of all that will bear considerable mulling over. Tha teachers will find that their "school" Is much easier and more interesting because of the way In which It Is held; and quite naturally the thought will ocur to many as to whether or not some similar plan may be Incor porated in the regular school life that belongs to the pupils. Teachers will realize that they can assimilate a great deal more at Gladstone than they could at any Institute, and the best of them the thinkers will t-.j and devise some plan whereby fie school term may be made easier for the pupils. This meeting at Gladstone will do more than benefit the teachers, it Is safe to prophecy. It will make them eager to find some new way to bet ter school work, some way to adopt the "vocational school" Idea In still a wider sense, and to make scho-.il life bearable for all concerned. It will suggest to them the possibility of holding school sessions out of doors, of incorporating In school pic nics and gatherings the study of na ture subjects, of physics, of geogra phy, snd such other subjects aa can be more readily applied outside tfce school room than within Its four walls. And If enough of the teach ers get to thinking about this, aid talk about It enough, there will come a change in Clackamas county schools that will make them still more ad vanoed than they are today. This is one of the reasons why the teachers' summer school, held In the open, will be a great thing for the county and the state. It will be an object lesson to the teachers them selves of the difference between cramlng a subject In s hurry within four walls, and studying It at great er leisure outside. They will find that they can atudy more, study be" ter, and get greater results in the same length of time, and they will want tbelr pupils later to have sim ilar advantages. Of course they will realize that regular school cannot be held In such places as Gladstone park; but they will also be lead to think how the dull monotony of school life can be varied, how help ful recreation can be combined with unconscious study and ths result will be that ws will have a change for the better in oar school system, sod that the lead now held in fie state by Clackamas county will be Increased In scholastlo affairs, ami that Clackamas county's schools will become) models for the rest of the world to follow. PORTLAND TRIP IS COMMERCIAL CLUB .MEMBERS HAVE ROYAL TIME ON RIVER EXCURSION Two Chartered Steamsrs Carry local Boosttrs on Pliasurs Voyage Every Minute of Which Is Enjoyable With perfect day for the trip, and with everything arranged so that the greatest amount of enjoyment could be obtained In the event. 271 members of the Oregon City Commer cial club or their families Monday helped extend a royal welcome to Rex Orvgonua. ruler of the Portland Hose Festival. The local boosters Journeyed to Portland snd return on the steamers Ruth and I-aug. especial ly chartered for the day by tho Live Wires from tho Willamette Navlxa thin company, and not a single unto ward happening marred the pleasure of the day. Both boats were waiting at the Ore gon Transportation company s aocs st nine in ths morning, snd (lie start was made promptly. I nlted States Inspectors were on hand to see that the capacity of the boats was not ex (veiled, and It so happened that while JSC tickets for the trip were Issued, the psrty embarking was actually sis less than the limit, so tnere was no dolar or dispute at the wharf. The tans nulled out with 128 passengers on board, while the Ruth carried US A uackage of 100 tin horns, wblcti had been ordered by the Commercial club to help In the Jollification when the king of the Festival was to be greeted. Inadvertently got on board the I.ang. so It happened that the smaller crew made the greater noise. People on the Ruth made up for this, however, and when It came to wel coming Rex Oregonus there win noise enough for all. During the par ade the whistles of both Oregon City boats were kept going until their en gineers telephoned up to the pilot bouse and begged to have the sireui shut off so that they could keep steam enough in the boilers to keep the en gines going. Both vessels were decorated with fir bougha, and when the passengers got aboard nearly everyone had brought roses, and these were used In decking the pilot house and upper works of each craft. In tae water parade the Oregon City boats mada as good, If not a better s'lowlng, than any in line, and many comments wert made In Portland on the civic spirit shown by the local boosters. Iloth the Ruth and the Lang went down In to the lower Portland harbor aa far ss the Portland Flouring mills, and there fell in line In the water paradn. an'l assisted In escorting the Sea Otter, with Rex Oregonus aboard, to the Stark street dock. The vessels then continued their way on up the river, arriving home early In the afternoon. Sandwiches, coffee. Ice cream and soda water were served on board, and on the return trip the decks were cleared and dancing was indulged in by the more festively Inclined, while those who preferred to be sedate sought out secluded nooks on the ves sels and played cards. Everybody had the best of times, and it was gen erally regretted that the run up and down the river waa so short. After the boats had reached thrlr destination, the passengers formed on the dock after disembarking, and gave three hearty cheers and a tiger for H. T. Mcltaln, who was largely re sponsible for the success and enpoy- sbleness of the voysge. This tribute was spontaneous, and was as sincere as it was unexpected. ALL CONDONED PHILADELPHIA, Juns 6. Walter F. Bhourds, a trusted employe of tho Merchants' Union Trust company, who robbed that bank of $1,400,000 in securities and $30,000 In cash, who has been hunted by ths police and detectives, came into court here to day, contested his crime and made restitution. Judge Hall then ordered the Indict ment submitted snd s verdict of not guilty wsa recorded. The esse was dropped because officers of the Insti tution which was robbed pleaded that If they could not drop the case and get their stolen bonds back the bank would go to the wall. Shourds gave back all that he took and $5000 In addition as a sop for the Injured feelings of the bank di rectors. MAN WINS ODD WAGER; THEN GOES TO PRISON NEW YORK, Juns 10. Indiscreet Indulgence In the characteristically American betting habit Is a danger ous practice and may get one into ser ious trouble. Quite frequently bettor who wins his wager, wins more than he bargained for. This is clearly demonstrated by ths case of Daniel Bradley, who appeard before Magistrate Corrlgsn In the Morrissnla polios court the other dsy. Brsdley bsd made a wager that be colud drink a squart of Sherry in five minutes. He won bis wager and an hour later was found in a helpless condition by a po lice man who took bim to the nearest i police station.

The cloudburst occurred a lew min utes before the train reached the csene. The broken current bsd thrown the block up to "danger" and the engineer stopped the train In the nick of time. At 11 o'clock the storm broke, throwing a solid sheet of water on 'o ths hill Just above the sawmill. The deluge split, running two ways, one wall of water going over the railroad and washing out the track, while the other torrent swept to tbs sawmill.
