SEPTEMBER 25, 1908 No 19, city ER FINE EXHIBITS FAST RACES Qackamas County Fair Shows Up Well for Greatest Attractions. OCT. ONE, TWO, THREE Friday Designated as Oregon City. Day Stores Will Be Closed. Clackamas County Fair prepara tions are about completed with a showing that the best Fair ever held In Clackamas County will be pulled off October 1 2, 3 on the new ground which is completed at Canby, Oregon. The officials have worked faithfully and diligently to this end and the results at the present time are- most gratifying. From every nook and cor ner of the county comes the favorable news that large numbers will be in attendance and that many exhibits will be brought in by representative business firms; manufacturing inter ests.Btock owners, fruit growers, agri cultural enthusiasts and these promis es are backed by formal applications for space on the grounds and in the exhibit building. Many booths nave been constructed for a number of ex hibits of industries and at the pres ent time, applications for these booths have come in sufficient numbers to guarantee an interesting fair. Through the efforts of the Oregon City Commercial Club the business men of this city are making a decid ed move toward a universal closiug on Friday, October 2nd, with a view of making that day at the Fair Ore gon City Day. T. J. Gary, one of the officials of the Clackamas County Fair, has been the prime factor in the above movement and arranging wltii the Southern lautuu n. it. Co. for adequate facilities, whereby, a crow J attending from this city may be wall handled in coming and going. The following request instituted by the Commercial Club has been laid before the Merchants and Business men of this city, who have signified their intentions of complying by signing their names to the paper: "Having had under advisement for some time the feasibility of attempting to make Friday, October 2nd, Oregon City Day at the Clackamas County Fair, the Board of Governors of the Oregon City Commercial City Club deem It feasible from a business standpoint and with a view of a bet ter intermingling of rural and city in terest, that the Merchants close their various places of business announcing the arrangement to the people gener ally, giving themselves and their em ployees an opportunity to attend '.be fair at Canby on the day above men tloned. It is unnecessary to recite the good that will come out of such ' an intermingling of the farmers of Clackamas County and the citizens of Oregon City. It has been the wishes of the vail ous business men of the city to bring about this feature and now that an opportunity has arrived the matter should be taken up with hearty co operation and every business house in the city should be represented there on that day. "It is the desire of the Club to as sist in this connection in any way pos sible, and many suggestions have teen offered. After due deliberation, the ad visory board concluded to make a formal request of the merchants in this form, asking those who wish to co-operate In the plan to signify their willingness by signing their names hereto." There are a good many people iu Oregon City who would enjoy attend' lng the Clackamaa County Fair at Canby this year, which not. only In eludes the business men themselves and members of their families, clerks and employees, but also the residents generally. It Is hoped the movement will have the support of the town's people generally and that the attend ance at the Fair on . that day from this city will number into the hund: reda, and there Is no reason why it should not and we believe the people will take hold of the plan and attend the Fair.

A year ago this month a few ladles met at the home of Mrs. Sylvia Wil cox, and organized the Ladies' In dustiial Club, of Jennings Lodge. The objects of the club are to promote sociability, to see what could be done toward getting a school, to do any thing which was good for the better ment of the Lodge and to, devote a part of the time to llerary twork. The ladles interviewed the County Super intendent, Mr. Gary, In regard to the school, and called on the Jennings Lodge gentlemen to help us locate the district and to get the petition be fore the district boundary board, which met last spring and granted a new school district here. After the bonds had been voted on and the plans for the new school adopted, the ladles began to plan to raise money for an organ for the new school, and now have about $50.00 in the treasury for this purpose. A monthly social was held each month during the winter months and fine literary program was rendered at each one. In February Mrs. Em mons opened her beautiful home for social, and the proceeds were used to help a worthy friend fix her tent so it would be comfortable for her and her little ones. A monthly tea was held during the summer months and ten cents was charged. This helped out In our fi nances. Each of the ladies has work ed very faithfully and the club, though small in 'numbers, has done a great deal of good, and we hope to be able to continue in any work which will uplift or is for the betterment of Jennings Lodge. On Thursday afternoon the Ladles Industrial Club was entertained in a most royal manner at the home of Mrs. Ed Roethe. About four months ago each member was given a dime out of the treasury, to increase and this meeting was to be a sort of ex perience meeting, and the ladies all related how they had Increased their dimes. Out of the eleven dimes given out, all responded and the experiences were novel as well as instructive, and afforded a great deal of amusement. One lady giving the following experi ence: i"As I looked out of my win dow I beheld the beautiful face and form of our vice-president coming up the sidewalk, as she approached me she presented me with a dime And told me to go forth and make it shine, And that was exactly in my line For all I had to do was to grind the coffee fine. Now, to save time I will finish my rhyme So here it is ten times the bright new dime. And all of my neighbors helped to make it shine, So please excuse me and this poor rhyme. Respectfully submitted In behalf of the dime. Mrs. Roethe served delicious .re freshments and two new members were added to the membership roll.

The great mile track just completed at a cost of $27,000, the immense barns and steel frame ampltheatre, give the grounds and surroundings an anneadance nf solidity and permanence. The track is considered the best drained that has been built in this part of the United States. There Is a steam railroad line Into the grounds In addition to a splen didly equipped electric line in fact the latter has been tested and found capable of handling forty-five cars at one time.

No event has taken place in the last year that will be more beneficial to the Pacific Northwest than the visit of the delegates in attendance upon me National convention of the Ameri can Association of Travelling Pah- senger Agents.

The Missouri River Valley is one of the most successful hog sections of the United States, and corn has al ways been the basis of this industry. Today one of the most popular stock fattening foods in the Missouri River region is a mixture of alfalfa meal and sugar beet pulp, which is produced in Colorado. Advices recently received from that state show that numerous mills are being erected, and certainly the Pacific Northwest should give this industry every possible encourage ment, and this Is particularly true since the great international concerns like Swift & Company, and others have decided to locate upon the Paci fic Coast, and they are now spending millions of dollars in building their plants at Portland. A good reliable fattening food equal to corn would make this section of the United States the very richest portion of our great Republic. The Hood River Applegrowers' As sociation have just closed a contract for 80,000 boxes of the growing crop, and now have under discussion the sale of 150,000 additional boxes. .
