and untiling efforts in behalf of the
organization. The Arlon Society, of

that while the Germans still have a
love for their native land they have
an even greater admiration for their
adopted country. At the conclusion
of a song by the Arlon Society a pa
rade was formed. The parade was
headed by the Oregon City band, af
ter which came the German Veterans

Anna Petzold, President Schnoor, the

followed by the song, "This is the day I
of the Lord," by the Arion Society, I
after which President Schnoor gave an I
address in German and the American
flag was unfurled to the tunes of .
"Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean,"
played by the band. Upon the dedi-1

might feel overlooked In the general
round of festivity.
The program was followed with
dancing and singing and an elaborate
supper was served at' about six o'clock.
Everyone felt that the affair was a
complete success in every detail. Dr.
C. H. Meissner, of this. city, presented
the German flag to the Society.
This is undoubtedly the greatest
meeting of the German societies ever
held In this city or neighboring cities
and great credit is due to those who
had the great,festival in charge.
Man Found Dead
Over Six Hundred Dollars in
Gold is Found in
Pockets
The body of an unknown man with
$660 in gold in his pocket was found
JHonday evening near Sprlngbrook,
three and a half miles northwest of
Oswego, in this County.
The body showed that the man had
been dead several weeks although
there was no evidence of foul play or
struggle. He had taken off his coat
and made a pillow of it and prepared
himself as if he were simply going to
sleep. He was dressed in a light coat,
dark blue trousers and a black hat.
His shoes were badly worn at the
heel as thoiigh he had done a great
deal of walking. Besides the gold, in
his pockets was found an Aluminum
comb, pair of eye glasses, a meerchaum
pipe, a magnifying glass, and $3.80 In
silver. The identity of the unfortu
nate man is not known, as no papers
were found on the body. He was about
75 years of age having white hair and
a white beard. His heighf was about
6 feet and 7 inches and he weighed
Coroner's Inquest gave a verdict
that the man came to . his death
through natural causes.
A Good Suggestion.
Squam Lake grange of New Hamp
shire this year set an example Arbor
day which hundreds of granges
throughout the land can well emulate.
The Patrons turned out in force early
In the morning and planted 100 trees
along one of the principal streets lead
ing to the grange ball. This conte.m
plated plan had been under considera
tion for some weeks, and It was car
ried through without a hitch. The
sisters of the Order were on hand to
provide refreshing lunches and hot
coffee. What a vast Improvement on
the highways the next ten years thero
would" be If every grange In New Eng
land would follow this example each
year, setting out trees along our high
ways, remarks the New England
Homestead. This work of Squam Lake
grange is even more commendable than
that done in ?rovidSjte, R. '., "a few
weeks ago, when more trees were set
In Roger Williams park. In the lat
ter Instance the park, already over
crowded with trees, was given still
more, while streets entirely destitute
of trees were neglected. It is a good
thing to plant trees and a still better
thing to plant them where they are
needed.

EXCELLENT
OUTLOOK
Commercial Club Governing
Board Hold Interest
ing Meeting
GOOD WORK OUTLINED
Publicity Department Will be
Very Prominent Feature
of the Club
The board of Governors of the Ore
gon City commercial cdlub met In
the Masonic Temple Monday night,
and the meeting was well attended and
marked with enthusiasm and lively In
terest In the affairs of the club. C.
D. Latourette, Dr. E. A. Sommer, C.
G. Huntley and John Adams were ap
pointed a committee to procure the
furniture for the rooms and offices of
the club. The rooms will be fitted
ilp with "Mission furniture, and at least
one large room will be completely out-
flted with "Made in Oregon" furnl
ture. The various rooms will be fur
nlshed in modern club style, In mis
sion furniture. The two front rooms
near the elevator are designed to be
used as a Secretary's office and recep
tion room respectively. The rooms
will include a large parlor or lounging
room, and reading room with tables
and individual desks. There will also
be a room for games fitted up with
billiards and pool tables, and a wash
room and' toilet room in the rear.
A publicity committee will be ap
pointed this week, who will work In
conjunction with the club, It being in
tended to have this committee take
charge of the publicity department
and arrange for the necessary funds
and its management.
It is designed to have this work car
ried on in much the same manner as
is being done by various commercial
bodies' throughout the state. The pub
licity department will undoubtedly se
cure a good clerical force to occupy
the front offices at all times, to be
able to properly handle the' many
strangers who will come in search of
information. The funds for the club
are coming in exceptionally well, and
new names are being added every
day. .
As soon as the rooms are completed,
a banquet will be given by the mem
bers to the citizens of Oregon City
and the surrounding oountry at which
time it Is intended to have a number
of prominent speakers from abroad.
Grocery Changes Hands.
J. E. Jack, who has for a number
of years conducted a grocery store on
upper Seventh street, has sold his
business to his brother A. F. Jack
and P. E. Albright, who will take pos
session of the same October first and
continue to conduct the business In
the building it now occupies and along
the same lines that Mr. Jack has fol
lowed, which have been very success
ful. This transfer was brought about
by the election last spring of Mr. J.
E. Jack to the office of County As
sessor which work will occupy his at
tention after January first, at the
Court House. A. P. Jack and P. E.
Albright are both well known business
men of this' city, the former having
been in the Jack grocery store for
some time past and Is thoroughly ac
quainted with the business. He has
had considerable to do with the thrifty
appearanceof the store and the ex
tensive business it has enjoyed, which
we predict will continue In the new
management.

"What would you advise a young man

dust of haying uud thrashing and is
most too light to do heavy farm work
to do?" -
Gardening, floriculture, poultry rais
ing, civil engineering ail are good. If
he Is built for an expert, there are land
scape gardening; inside decorating and
a number of other good occupations
open to him. . .
The young man who Is built for an
expert that Is. one who is naturally
bright, careful and painstaking will
succeed in any of the above or. In al
most any other occupation. He will
have to Ion rn the business be selects.
He cannot learn nny of them from a

begin at the bottom and work up, thor
oughly learning nil the details as one
goes uloug. The expert Is always In
demand, and he commands the top
wages. .

Into, he should lie thorough as he goes
along, always keeping his eyes open

has In hand All vocations are crowd

Plans For Organization Fol
low Visit, Cheered by
Socialists
"The Red Special," a . train carrying
Eugene V. Debs, the noted Socialistic
leader, and a number of other promi
nent members of the same party, pass
ed through this city at 4:45 Monday
afternoon, enroute to Portland. The
train stopped half an hour, and a large
crowd gathered to hear Mr. Debs
speak. After a selection by the So
cialist Band, a musical organiaztlon
'ravelling on the Red Special, Mr.
Debs was introduced by E. J. Lewis,
State Chairman of the Socialist party.
The Socialist leader arraigned both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties as being opposed to the laboring
class. The Republican party was de
nounced as the promoter of trusts
and monopolies, and as the party of
the big corporations. Taft was desig
nated as the "Father of government
by Injunction," In reference to the
stand he took while United States
Judge during the A. R. U. strike of
1894. "The Republican Party," said
the speaker, "hall themselves as the
full dinner pall party while under
their rule, thousands of men have not
even a dinner pail to fill."
Bryan was referred to as the stand'
ard bearer of the Demomcratlc Party,
which was pronounced a party of
small capitalists. As an example of
the ways of the Democratic rule, he
referred to conditions in the coal
mines in Alabama, a Democratic
state. 'Both parties, he stated, are
opposed to the laboring man and It
will make little difference whether
he Is governed by a few big capitalists
or a number of lesser ones. The Social
ist Party was the only one that the

Elsie Hutchinson and son, Rupert, and
little daughter, Dorothy, of Portland.
Mrs. H. H. Emmons gave a lunch
eon on Thursday afternoon in honor
of some Portland friends. The house
was very prettily decorated with
Chinese asters, which were raised in
her own beautiful gardens. Covers
were laid for six, and Mrs. Emmons
proved herself a most charming host
