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.

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.

Success,
The First Annual Poultry Show of
the Rogue River Valley began In
this city, Thursday and will con
tlnue through Saturday. The indi
cations point to an interesting and
successful affair. There were some
thing like 60 exhibitors made entries
the first day, with others to come In
as the show progressed.
The exhibit Is bolng held in the new
warehouse of Messrs. Cramer Bros.,
on H street. Here some 60 exhibit
pens were prepared bofore the open
ing of the display, the officers think
ing that perhaps they would be suf
ficient, but it looks very much as
though they would have to provldo
extra pens, for more chicken fanciers
will undoubtedly come In today and
omorrow,
Elmer Dixon, the prominent Oregon
City poultryman, who has acted In
the capacity of Judge In so many such
snows, Is here to perform a like ser
vice, and he informs the Courier that
the showing made by the poultry men
of Rogue River at this time is very
creditable and that for the first effort
it is fully equal to any that have been
given In the state. He sees a very
marked and rapid growth in this par
ticular Industry here and all over the
tato and predicts that soon It will
nave developed wonderfully, adding
greatly to the productions of this great

Know How.
Slow eating will solve one-half the
problems of ill health. Those who suf
fer already with Indigestion and weak
stomach can with care and the use of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore their dl
gestlon to a healthy condition, so that
they can eat what they want at any
time without fear of distress or Buf
fering.
After a few days' use of Ml-o-na
stomach tablets, the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, nervousness.
sleeplessness, distress after eatine
an mese symptoms of a weak stom
achwill dlseappear, and perfect di
gestion and a good skin will show
that the vital machinery is once more
running smoothly.
Take a little Ml-o-na tablet before
each meal so that it will stimulate the
digestive Juices and give strength to
the stomach, and then it will take
care or tne food that Is eaten, with
out Indigestion and the unpleasant full
feeling with which so many suffer
after meals.
Howell & Jones have so much con
fidence in the power of Mi-o-na to
cure indigestion and all stomach ills
that they give a guarantee with every
oO-ceut box to refund the money If the
remedy falls to give satisfaction.
An Old Fashioned Flower.
The sweet wllllam of our grandmoth
ers Is still one of the most satisfying
annuals. Set out the young plants in
flats or thumb pots and transplant Into
three inch pots a little while before
planting on the borders of the flower
beds. It will be found that this care
will result in more vigorous plants.
The Scotch or grass pink Is propagated
in the same manner; according to Farm
Journal.
When our ancestors brought over
from the old country the fashion of a
flower border on the vegetable garden.
they transplanted something that gave
delight to many generations before
moderns frowned upon old fashioned
ways. There is now a disposition to
go back to the flower border of our
grandfathers.
Sowing Seeds.
Never sow while the soil Is wet and
muddy. It Is better to be too dry than
too wet. After the seeds are sown they
may be covered by sifting over them
the fine compost to the right depth.
Then water artificially if rain does not
come. Loosen the surface to keep It
moist until the seedlings make their
appearance.
Accenting the Graceful Curve.
A leugthy, undulating pile of stones
will create a wonderful dlvertisenient
along one side of a too uneventful sub
urban drive or walk. It will accent the
curve to the highest perfection.
Grippe or Influenza, whichever you like
to call it, is one of the meet weakening

It is to easily digested that it sinks into
