6 QRBflON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1908 CHILDREN'S DAY At Coming Session of Chautauqua Lit tie Folks Will Have Their Day, Prof. Gary' Plan Meets Favor. The proposal of County School Su perintendent Gary to hold s Child' ren's day during the coming session of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Asembly has been eagerly seized up on by the directors of that organiza tion, and definite plans have already been formulated for the programme of the day. Mr. Gary, with his character istic love of the beautiful, Is encour aging the growth and study of flow ers among the pupils of the Clacka mas County schools, and has sent a circular letter to each school offering to send seeds of sweet peas and asters to each pupil desiring them, provid ing the pupils agree to plant the seeds and care for the flowers. The children of Clackamas County are to have one day at the County Fair next fall, and the asters will be exhib ited there, but the sweet peas will come on earlier and ought to be In full bloom during the Chautauqua As sembly In July. Having this In mind, Mr. Gary has Induced the board of di rectors to offer five cash prizes for the best Individual exhibits of sweet peas. The prizes will be $5, $4, $3, $2 and ft. The Idea of Secretary Cross Is to bank the flowers on the auditorium plat form, where they will make an attract ive and Interesting display. Upon their own initiative, the board of directors have offered two cash prizes of $10 and $5 for the best collective exhibits from schools of flowers. Unlike the first offer, the large prizes will em brace a competition for an exhibit of all kinds of flowers. Every school in Clackamas County Is entitled to enter this competition. They may get the flowers where they please and make what ever arrangements they desire. Secretary Cross said that the board of directors has signed a contract with Mrs. Leonora M. Lake, who will de liver two lectures at each of the four Pacific Coast Chautauquas. Mrs. Lake Is a noted Catholic woman, and Is everywhere recognized as a force ful speaker of great eloquence. She has been heard by Mrs. Lucia Faxon Addition, one of the Chautauqua di rectors, and Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, president of the Oregon State Federa tion of Women's Clubs, antftoth speak highly In her praise. She has four lec tures that she uses, as follows: "The Divine Rights of the Child," "The Corner-stone of Our National Super structure Our Homes," "What Is Life; What Can We Do With It?" and "My Neighbor and I." Preparation of the programme for the Chautauqua Assembly Is progress ing rapidly and will be practically completed, with the exception of a few details, in a few weeks. Harry B.

Cold weather the first of the week Reqorts emenatlng form Salem tay KANNE FINDS FAULT. New Church at Gladstone. Rev. A. H. Mulkey, pastor of the Christian Church at Brownsville, was In Oregon City Tuesday on a business trip. Mr. Mulkey expects to come to Oregon City this summer, having pur chased property at Gladstone. He will move his family from Brownsville to that place. , The property recently purchased by Mr. Mulkey is the Gar row place, of four lots, one of the most sightly places in Gladstone. Mr. Mulkey has also purchased other prop- . erty at Gladstone, where he expects to raise fruit on a large scale. Mr. Mulkey Is one of the oldest school teachers In the state of Oregon, hav ing been engaged in that capacity since 18G7, and was an instructor in the Drain Normal for two yeare. He has taught In this state over nine years. Mr. Mulkey, who has been pastor of the Christian church at Brownsville for some time, has been looking over the field here, and has found a number of families formerly members of that church, and expects soon to open an active canvas, looking toward an organization of Disciples. Ho hopes to organize not later than September or October. Mr. Mulkey has decided to have'the church built at Gladstone, and this week had a delegation come from Portland to help select a site on which the building is to be erected. Two lots were donated by the Gladstone Real Estate Comp any for this purpose, which Is also to donate $100 towards the building fund. Caused Defeat of 8peclal Road Tax in His District. In the case of A. Kanne vs. the County Clerk,' Just decided, the Cir cuit Court held invalid one of the many special road taxes attempted to be levied by the several districts. One of the heavy taxpayers In the district (No. 1) says that the fault in his district is partly that of careless ness but he blames also some county officials for their actions. One matter not wholly understood and therefore criticised was the action of the County Judge in offering as an Inducement to the levying of the tax $300.00 which he promised to take from the West Ore gon City road fund. This he coupled with a threat that unless the tax was levied by the district, none of the $300.00 wouud be forthcoming. There Is also blame and criticism attached to conduct of officials in de fying to a body of the taxpayers of that district the privilege of Inspecting the records of the meeting. For about a week these representatives of the district were unable to find the records though they wee eventually found where It was suspected they were. In the hands of one of those officials and not in the Court House where the law oompels them to be. to mis taxpayer mis iooks very much like one-man power. He feels that the power should be placed in the hands of the people. Let the people elect their road supervisors and vote for themselves their own taxes and then see that the money goes upon the proper roads. Our present system, to him, seems unjust and partial. He suggests the township organization In which the people will have greater power and less will be centralized in one man; that is, he wants govern ment by the people themselves, be lieving we can trust the people to do the square thing by themselves.
