WOULD HELP
Cannery Could Be Built in
Oregon City if Citizens
Would Make Proper
Move
WOULD EMPLOY MANY
Promoters Here to Interest Cit
izens in Plant Which ,
Would Benefit City
and County
J. P. DutBeth aud T. .J. DuviJsou,
who have been working in this city
for the past few days with a view of
establish iug a cannery here are re
ceiving fairly good support from the
citizens and farmers that have been
interviewed, and it , now looks as
though there might something come
out of their efforts.- It is tne pjans
of the ones who are directly interested
to secure stock iu the enterprise to
complete the plant after which the
same would be turned over to a board
of managers who are residents of this
city. The plan is very feasable and
it only reinainB for the people to tane
an interest iu the affair, subscribe for
such amount of stook as they can and
the institution would start right up.
It would take but a short time tor the
erection of the huildings necessary,
aud it only means for some one to put
their shoulder to the wheel. "
The acreage lias been prettv well
gone over aud it is needless to state
that in Clackamas county adjaoent
to this city there is acreage to spare
for several canneries, aud the benefits
resulting from such an industry is
well known to be most beneficial to
the oity'aud the surrounding ,'couutry.
As to the disposition of the goods
after they have been prepared, it is
needless to say that the supply. is so
far behind the demand that the
thought of a dull market is eliminat
ed at the outset.
People of the county generally
should take hold of the matter and
make special effort to have a cannery
built here, as it will be a lasting ben
efit to the whole community.
Work on Elevator Started
Considerable material lias arrived
for the new Otis elevator lor the Ma
sonio building and C N. Masher, who
has ciiarge of the intsalling of same,
is here and has ooinniencei the work
of preparation of the frame- work,
hanging ot the shieves, aud such pre
liminary work, and as soon as the elf
vator proper arrives the work will be
hurried to completion. The elevator
is of a very commodious and substan
tial pattern with a floor platform
about 5x6 feet,, and will he controlled
by eleotrioity, and will necessitate
the use of an operator at all times

Dr. Valdimir Jindra narrowly es

grade in company with Walter 8.
Wells, who is conueoted with the
Jones Drug Company aud is a great
exponent ..of feats o: horsemanship,
when his mount, which was possessed
of a fiery spirit, became frightened at
a bit of flying paper, and reared un
on his hind legs, breaking the saddle
girth' and throwing the rider to the
ground. The horse was captured about
three blocks from the eoeni of the ac
cident by a derlestrian.
Seeing his mishap, his friend, Mr.
Wells, at once dismissed all thoughts
of trying to equal the equestrian teats
performed by the famous Russian Cos
sacks, dismounted, aud led his horse
dewn the grade and quite a distance
abng Main street, where he was kept
busy answering questions as to "what
was the matter," "was he too heavy
for the horse," and others on the
same order, which to the pill roller
seemed very, Very frivolous indeed.

DOINGS OF
LEGISLATURE
The I wenty-fifth Oregon Leg
islature Has Ended With
' No Extra Session
MEMBERS ARE JUBILANT
Ths Increase of Appropriations
Well Offset by Revenue
Producirg Measures
Down ill the records as history goes
the work of the tweuty-hftn biennial
session oi the Oregon legislature, aud
back to their- homes the members
have wandered feeling that their la
bors have been for the good of the
people of the great state. Taking in
to conpideration the growth of the
state and the great developments that
have taken place within the past year
the appropriatins have not been exces
sive in the extreme, although charges
have been made to the contrary many
times, and there are bills killed that
carried more than a million dollars,
so' that there has been a good percent
age of outtiog down of the demanded
expense, where it appeared the de
mand was justified. The Johnson
Road bill, three normal sohools, top
ographic surveys, Indian war vet
erans, historical sooiety buildings and
others.
The aproprlatlons will aggregate
4,S00,000, or about $1,000,000
more than the preceding session.
Three or four revenue producing
measures were passed, however,
which will partially offset the in
creased appropriations. Among them
are: The bill taxing earnings of
public service corporations; the new
insurance tax 'aw; the inheritance
tax increase, and the water fran
chise tax. These laws will add about
$300,000 to the state's-revenues. -
The session distinguished Itself by
doing two notable things: First, in
adopting fie resolutions promising
to submit the question of state finan
cing of railroads to the people, and
second, In refusing to make appro
priation for three normal schools.
Much unfavorable comment has
been Indulged in over the numerous
salary grab bills passed, which by
the way affect counties and not the
state, but to offset the pettiness of
these bills some measures of real
Importance were passed. Chief
among them may be mentioned:
Acts for the conservation of re
sources, the water code, the game
code, Industry switches, abolish
ment of compulsory pilotage, and
the creation of ports. Two rather
unique laws were pasaed, namely,
the bill for sterilization of the crim
inal Insane and confirmed convicts.
and providing a penalty of life im
prisonment for highway robbery.
Attempts to modify the direct pri
mary law, particularly Statement
No. 1, and the local option law were
defeated. The legislature also re
fused to adopt Sunday blue laws,
and attempts to take the state in
stitutions from Salem were killed.
Wth a few minor omissions the
following is a list of bills filed by
Governor with the Secretary of State
and which will become law:
House BHIrf.

By M. F. D.
The great number of people who
we'e fortunate enough to attend tlia
performance of "His Uncle From
Japan" given lust Friday evening at
Shively's Opera House must have felt
they had "laughed and lauglied, aud
laughed agaiu " It the proverb
"Laugh and grow fat," is true, the
scales were surely overworked the fol
lowing day, or, if it is "laugh and
grow young," there were many
youthful, smiling faces.
. All this roflects great credit on the
little uoropauy of talented young peo
ple who made up the cast, for a farce
to he funny must bo well acted, or it
is quite the opposite. Edward J. Mo
Kittrick was of great assistance to the
cast, as he directed a number of the
rehearsals.
Those taking part were : Captain
Robert, Raoket, ("A lawyer when he
has nothing else to do aud a liar all
the time'"), .Uharles Bollinger; Oba
diali Dawson, his uncle from Japan,
"where they makejea," Gaylord
Godfreys Timothy "Tolman, "his
friend who married for money and is
sorry for it," Philip Sinnott; Mr.

to U. It was a well contested game
from start to finish, there being some
excellent skaters on both sides. Frank
Kendall and Peter Kogli distinguished
themselves by good playiug and the
other Oregon City boys showed up
very well indeed, considering the
short practice they have had Wilson,
as forward, and Bartell, as center,

10 to 8.
Philip Sinnott was put out of the
game early in the first half, by a blow
on the head and was replaced by

tempor, who finds her Timothy a vex
ation of spirit, Miss Kathryn Sinnott,
Katie, "a niisohievous maid, " Miss
Clara Fields.
Charles Bollinger as "Captain
Racket" made a liaiidsomo, dashing
young man of the world, and played
his part in a truly professional man
ner. The same may be said of Mi s
Florence MoFarland as "Clarice,"
who did some pretty aotiiig; much of
it with Mr. Bnllinser; and one soene,
"the crazy act" with "the uncle from
Japan" (Gaylord Godfrey) was per
haps the funuiest scene in the play.
The part of the Uncle was very
good throughout, and his niake-np
was splendid. So also was that of
"Mr. Dalroy" (Harry Gordon) who
looked and acted to perfection the old
man of means. '
The very importaut role of "Mrs.
Tolman" was one of the hardest char
acter parts to play, but was cloverly
done by Miss Kathryn Sinnott, at
short notioe. She has bad much ex
perience in those parts and with an
unusual memory was able to do suoli
good work.
The part of her husband, "Timothy
Tolman, " the young man who mar
ried for money, wan ably done by
Philip J. Sinnott. He added fresh
laurels to his reputation as an actor.
The maid's part, "Katy" by Miss
Clara Fields proved a popular one.
Waldo Cautleld took the minor part
of tlio waiter "Hobson" very well
indeed.
Between the first and second aots,
Harold SwaBord, the well-known
youthful wnistlor, delighted the audi
ence with a whistling solo, aud was
forced to respond to an enoore.
Before the play.' and between the
second and last acts, the Oregon City
Baud played a number ot popular
numbers iu a very creditable manner.
Peter Regli, the local forward, was
the shining light of the game.. He
threw two baskets and two free
throws and Frank Kendall one basket
and two free throwB.
A return game will be played at Or
egon City one week from Saturday.
The locals are mnoli encouraged by
their first efforts, and are determined
to win the stale championship.
A game will be played with the fast
