Qackamas County Fair Shows
Up Well for Greatest
Attractions.

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. "

Mrs. Lewis Shattuck have signified
their willingness to undertake the

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

all responded and the experiences
were novel as well as instructive, and
afforded a great deal of amusement.

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

PORTLAND, OR., Sept 21, The
Portland Country Club & Livestock
Association began its meetings Mon
day. The exhibit of livestock surpas
ses that shown at the Lewis & Clark
Exposition, and the races will be the
best ever witnessed here. 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. Together these lines will
relieve the grounds of seven thousand
people within the first fifteen minutes
after a meeting.
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. These men have trav
eled through Washington, spent three
days thoroughly Investigating Seattle
where they held their convention, vis
ited interesting points on the Sound;
then they came to Portland, where
they spent a day before making the
Columbia River trip. Here they dis
banded, going to many points in Ore
gon, Washington and down through
California. The Travelling Passenger
Agents meet thousands of people ev
ery year, and Influence a vast amount
of travel.
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

growing sections of the northwest.
