Nearly two hundred exhibits of
beautiful roses marked the first Clack

show that was opened Friday morning
In Willamette Hall. The stately Car

Richardson, Reina Marie Henrietta,
Prince Camille de Rohan, Ulrich Brun
er, Francisca Kruger, Etoyle de Ly
on, RodoconachI, Baroness, President
Carnot, and dozens of other varitles
combined to make a picture that has
never before been seen in this city.
Delicate ferns helped to form the dec
orations of the hall, and the peonies
shown by Mrs. Ralph Miller and the
carnations from the greenhouse of
Wilkinson & Hughes were rare speci
mens. The strawberries were none the less
unusual, though not as numerous. The
exhibits numbered about 200 boxes,
the Canby growers alone sending 75
boxes for exhibition, besides donating
72 boxes for the refreshment, feature
of the affair. The berries comprise
the Magoon, Clark Seedling, Oregon,
Warfield, Gandy, Dornan, Mrs. Hanna
and Shirley Bell. In Mr. W. B. Staf
ford's exhibit there is the Jersey
berry, originated by the exhibitor and
Everett Downey of Willamette dis
played a basket of Charles Downing
berries that have their home in Michi
gan. J. K. Hartnell of Clackamas, has
originated a seedling and had a dis
play on the table. The Dornan berry
from the farm of A. H. Flnnegan of
Canemah, excited great admiration
for their size and coloring, and Mr.
Flnnegan also displayed a 15-box crate
of the new Oregon variety. J. R.
' Hunt of Willamette had a basket of
Magoons, and this berry was also
shown by A. J. Hobble of West Oregon

Te comments that were heard on
every side .repaid the exhibitors for
their Interest and Hctivlty. Captain
James P. Shaw, whose tireless energy
is largely responsible for the success
of the affair, is jubilant over the suc
cess of the show, which will undoubt
edly be resolved Into a permanent an
nual event.
Strawberries and wild flowers held
first place Saturday. The display of
flora was extensive and of particular
interest to scores of boys and girls,
who competed for the prizes. The
rose of yesterday was relegated to
second place and in its stead huge
bunches of buttercups, blue bells,
rhododendrons, fox gloves, wild fringe,
Mount Hood lillies and many other
varieties were examined, classified
and admired. Thomas Howell of
Center, probably the best known au
thority on the botany of the woods
and fields of the Western Slope, was
present, as was Prof. F. P. Stauffer of
the Portland high school, and they
gave the correct names to the speci
mens on exhibition. The judges for

W. Norrls, Mrs. T. A. Pope, Mrs. W.

er holder.
Special mention for rarity of exhi
bits: Miss Violet Johnson, wild fringe;
Martha Parker, native or Mount Hood
lillies; August Raltol, rhododendrons;
Clara Schoenborn, Mount Balln.
The exhibits of strawberries did not
shine to advantage after being dis
played for 36 hours, but were favor
ably commented upon by hundreds of
people, many of whom came from
Portland. Whojesalers from the me
tropolis were there, and W. B. Glafke,
of the W. B. Glafke Co.; T. Pearson of
the Pearson-Page Co., and Frank H.
Page, Jr., of Page & Son, Judged the
exhibit, and made brief talks. Mr.
Page complimented the Clackamas
County growers on the splendid qual
ity of the berries shown and gave ex
cellent advice relative to cultivation.
Mr. Glafke said that the growers
should find the berry best adapted to
the soil and location, and then special
ize on that particular berry in order
that cars containing one variety could
be made up. He praised the quality
and condition of the berries of the
county and said there was no reason
why Clackamas County should not
compete successfully with Hood River
later on.
Mr. Pearson urged the growers to
organize at once. He alluded to the
Clark Seedlings in the exhibit, and
CQURIEI
JUNE 14 1907
said he considered them as fine as
the same variety from Hood River,
which specializes on the Clarks. He
emphasized the Importance of careful
packing, and said that berries, wnen
crated, should be arranged so as to
present an excellent appearance. Mr.
Pearson illustrated his advice by
speaking of the exhibit of Oregon
berries, while practically unknown .as
far as their commercial value extends,
had been awarded a prize because
of their attractive appearance in their
crate. The strawberry prizes were
awarded as follows:
C. P. Andrews of Mount Pleasant,
Clark Seedling, frlut prize for com
mercial value and fine quality, loving
cup from Oregon City grocers.
Albert Notz, of Clackamas, Clark
Seedling, second prize, for quality and
commercial value, fruit basket from
Canby Strawberry growers.
A. F. Ford, prize for Magoon exhibit,
Utopian vase from Huntley Bros. Co.
A. H. Flnnegan of Canemah, New
Improved Oregon, prize on packing
for commercial use, dozen sliver
spoons from Clackamas giowors.
C. W. Swallow, Maple Lane, prize
for exhibit of Warfields, ornamental
orange tree, from Strawberry and
Rose Show.
C. J. Roth of Canby, special prize
for largest and best collection from
dlHtance, China bowl from Strawberry
and Rose Show.
Ribbons were given for the follow
ing exhibits which received special
mention:
Dornan, A. R. Flnnegan; Seedling
originated In Clackamas County, R. I
K. Hartnell ; Jersey, originated by the
grower and exhibitor, W. B. Stafford;
Magoon, J. R. Hunt; Magoon plant,
Thomas Hage.
The judges and their wives and
other Portland guests were banqueted
by the retail grocerymen, and were de
lighted with the royal reception they
received.
Friday night an Informal entertain
ment and reception was hold at the
close of the rose feature of the Show.
Mayor E. G. Caufield and Captain
James P. Shaw delivered brief
speeches, Miss Edith Cheney sang
"ltoses," and piano numbers were
rendered by Miss Edna Daulton. The
hall was crowded and the marked en
thusiasm will probably result in the
formation of a rose society as at
least 50 peoplo expressed a desire to
affiliate. The women In charge of the
rose show, who have worked energet
ically and unceasingly to make the af
fair a success, have succeeded beyond
their hopes, and Captain James P.
Shaw, who managed the Show, was
fortunate in having the ladles with
him.
PatronnesHes for the Show were:

COUNTY FAIR
IN CLACKAMAS
Project May Be Taken Up
By Board of Trade.
GLADSTONE PARK GIVEN
Business Men Favor Display
of County Products
In the Fall
of 1 907.
There is some possibility of the es
tablishment of a county fair In old
Clackamas, and a movement for this
enterprise has been placed on foot by
the Board of Trade. The Willamette
Valley Chautauqua Assembly has,
through Secretary H. E. Cross, has of
fered the use of the 75 acres embraced
In Gladstone Park and also the build
ings of the Chautauqua Assembly for
the use of a Clackamas County Fair,
and a committee of five members of
the Board of Trade will be named for
the purpose of making preliminary ar
rangements. The remarkable success
of the Clackamas County Strawberry
and Rose Show has demonstrated
that there is a strong sentiment In
favor of fairs of this kind. Under the
act of the state legislature the county
court may make an annual appropria
tion of $500 for advertising purposes,
and while in a momentary spasm of
economy the court refused to make
a small appropriation for prizes to be
given to farmers at the coming Fourth
of July celebration, the three men that
preside over the finances of the county
can hardly refuse to give the entire
appropriation of $500 for a County
Fair.
The Board of Trade meeting was
not attended by many people but
those present evinced a desire to push
along meritorious matters and named
Frank Busch, Thomas F. Ryan, D. C.
Ely, G. B. Dlmick and Dr. Alfred L.
Beatle a committee to solicit funds
for the construction of a public wharf.
This project has been in a state of
agitation for more than a year, and
the temper of the business men on
the proposition will now be shown.
George C. Brownell, W. A. Huntley
and H. A. Galloway have been named
as a committee to communicate with
the officials of the Southern Pacific
Company relative to the inadequate
tnoWUes for shippers at this point,
and if the company falls to provide
the necessary switches and side
tracks, the committee may lodge a
formal complaint with the state rail
road commission.
The Board of Trade will maintain
headquarters at Gladstone Park dur
ing the coming session of the Wlllam-
ete Valley Chautauqua Assembly. The
following citizens have been appointed
delegates to the annual meeting of
the Oregon Development League in
Portland: C. II. Dye, T. F. Ryan, H.
E. Cross, W. A. Huntley, A. Knapp, O.
W. Eastham, W. E. Carll, J. E. Hedges,
Bruce C. Curry, W. J. E. VIck, W. H.
Schooley and Linn E. Jones.
Thomas F. Ryan, W. A. Huntley and
Duane C. Ely are a committee to con
fer with the Oswald Mil furniture
factory to see what arrangements can
be made towards providing an ade
quate site for the company's plant.
Highland.
George Stevens and John Schram
have gone to Echo, Oregon, to see
what that part of the world is like.
George says if he can just bag; a
Jack rabbit he will try a bowl of rab
bit soup. John thinks a roasted sage
rat would be far better.
Mrs. Charley Welsh of Dolan, but
formerly of Highland, came down a
few days ago to visit friends and rel
atives. Hiram Fellows jumped his job at
Madison's sawmill and will go to Hood
River to pick strawberries.
The Reason
constant effort is to give not "just as good" but
the best work and that, for as little money as
possible.
"f Our recent trip east to the great center of den
tal education, was for the purpose of giving you
the latest and best up-to-date dentistry. Our 17
years of succssful practice in Oregon City is the
best guarantee any dentist can give you. A guar
antee is good only as long as you can find the one
who gives it, and then not always. We are care
ful not to hurt you, as we have feelings ourselves.
We want your work and want you to send us your
friends. Ilave an eastern expert graduate assist

tice. Our prices are the lowest in the city for

President P. L, Campbell, of
University of Oregon
Delivers Address
to the Class.
Graduates from the Barclay high
school Tuesday night received their
diplomas and received their friends
in Shlvely's Theatre, which was ar
tistically decorated with green boughs,
syringla, and the pennants of the B.
H.S. There were 22 on the platform
when the curtain rose and the program
which followed was carried out with
a snap that permitted of no tiring
waits, opening and closing with piano
numbers from Miss Alice Goettling,
one of the graduates, and Miss Louise
Huntley and Miss Louise Walker. In
both solo and duet they were encored.
Rev. E. Clarence Oakley brought the
audience to Us feet with the invoca
tion, and the salutatory was spoken
by Mary Arvesta Scott. '
"The Future of the West" was the
subjoct of an oration from Harry
August Schoth, and he paid a tribute
to Marcus Whitman. Dr. R. A. Heri
tage sang "The Erl King," and was
encored. The oration of Winnie Flor
ence Jackson on "Our Native
Writers," was of particular interest.
She said the early ploners had had
no advantages in a literary way, books
were few and precious, but not with
standing the lack of encouragement,
the inspiration came to many from the
beautiful brooks and hills for which
Oregon has always been famous, and
Joaquin Miller, Sam L. Simpson, Hom
er Balch and Eva Emery Dye were
products of Oregon.
Mrs. Imogon Harding Brodle sang
"The Rose Complained," (Franz),
"Ask My Dear Old Mother," (Dvorak),
ana "Who Is Sylvia," (Schubert). She
was in good voice and the melody in
her last number appealed to the audi
ence. Mrs. Brodle, for an encore, sang
"The Year's at the Spring". Alvah
Ray Grout was the class orator and
acquitted himself admirably. The
class history and prophecy was given
by Miss Olga McCIure and was the
most Interesting bit on the program.
President P. L. Campbell, of the Uni
versity of Oregon, delivered the class
address, and was listened to intently.
His remarks were often brilliant, but
were appreciated for their earnest
ness. Dr. R. A. Heritage sang his
best number, "Israfel,"' and Miss
Emily Watts gave the valedictory.
The diplomas were presented in a
neat speech by Chairman George A.
Harding of the board of directors.
Miss Martha Frances Draper was a
pleasant accompanist for the vocal
ists. The graduates were showered
with flowers and gifts from their
friends, and City Superintendent Mo
Kee, who was happy over the culmin
ation of a Buccesfura year's work, an
nounced that the Barclay High School
