PEOPLE SEEK THE MAN
In Afternoon, Molalla Ball Team Defeats Canby, and
Grand Ball in City Hall at Night
One of the most successful racing
meets ever held In Clackamas county
was held In Canby Saturday, and, the
crowd in attendance which numbered
a; least 2000 expressed Itself as being
more than satisfied with the hospit
able manner In which they were treat
ed by the residents of the flourishing
city that Is soon to be the center of
a great Irrigation project. The early
trains brought crowds from Oregon
City, New Era, Aurora, Woodburn and
other places, while the streets were
alive with vehicles conveying rest
dents of Liberal, Molalla and other
Southern Clackamas communities.
In the morning the baseball game
between the Canby Reds and the Mo
lalla Outlaws attracted the attention
of the fans. By mutual consent the
two nines agreed to play only seven
innings, owing to the fact that the
Molalla team was late in arriving, and
the. management wished to give the
spectators a chance to, witness the
races. At the end of the seventh
canto, the score stood 5 to 4 In favor
of the visiting team.
When the game was called by um
pire Knight, Huff was on the firing
line for the Reds, but he seemed to
have his wires crossed, as he walked
the first man, and A. Baty, the second
up, landed on his delivery for a double
scoring the first runner. In addition
1 to this, the visitors, through a single
and a couple of errors registered two
more runs before they retired. In
their half of the first, the Outlaws
proved that there was still a game or
two left In A. Baty, their curve dis
penser, for the first two men fanned
and Wills' fly was gathered in by
Ramsby, Molalla's center fielder.
In the third, Grimm clouted out "a
single, carromed to second on Will's
error and stole third. The next man
was put out, and Engle was hit by
Holmes, who went In the box to re
lieve Huff at the opening of the sec
ond chapter. Miller ozoned, and Her
man smashed out a two bagger, scor
ing Grimm and Engle. This ended
the scoring for the visiting aggrega
tion. In their half of the same inning,
Canby also got busy, and before threes
men were retired, they had annexed
a pair of tallies. It was just like
this: White hit one to second, and the
guardian of that ketone sack failed
to get his mlts around It, as did the
right fielder, and before the ball was
returned to the diamond, the. fleet
footed backstop reposed serenely on
the second cushion. Holmes was Is-
sued a pass to first, Wills hit into the
diamond, and White, who stole third
scooted home, the ball was thrown
to the plate in an unsuccessful at
tempt to stop him, allowing Wills to
reach first. Holmes was caught at
the plate by a throw from second
Hampton, Canbys third Backer, came
to bat, landing out a double and scor
ing Wills.
Wills 'started the run making lu
the sixth by hitting to center. Hamp
ton knocked one to Warren Baty, who
In attempting to make a double play,
juggled the ball till Hampton reached

State of Oregon, Is a most laudible
show o.f confidence and appreciation
of the work the Judge has done in the
years past. Not only has his work
been appreciated by his home neoijle
but the news has gone out broad cast
all over the state and it has been
caught up by the press and individual
alike who are unstinting in their
words of praise
When asked where he stood unon
certain questions, he said:
"I believe every candidate for an
Important office should come out early
so as to give the people in everv
county of the state an opportunity
to look up his past record as a citi
zen and business man."
When asked where he stood upon
Inatlon for Governor at the primaries,
he will have the best chance of any
one yet named. Judge Dimick has
always been a loyal Republican and
his political record is without a blemish.

Judge Grant B. Dimick, of Oregon
City, we understand, has after many
requests, consented to be a candidate
for Governor on the Republican ticket
at the next general election. Judge
Dimick is a man that stands very
high in the State and will no doubt
make an excellent choice for the peo
ple. He is now County Judge of Clack
amas County.
Four years ago when he wasne
of the seven candidate for presidential
electors, out of 358 votes cast he re
ceived 349, which shows that he Is a
strong man in his party. He is an
Oregon boy, having been born in
Marion County, March 4th, 1869. He
was educated in the State Normal at
Monmouth, and the McMinnville Col-

Law, and which law was adopted by
the legal voters of the State by one

an initiative measure, and while there
may be some Imperfections In the law,
those Imperfections are not of vital
importance. It Is far better to place

expended and a good permanent road
is constructed, the tax payer feels
that he has made a good Investment,

enhancement of the value of all real

leading Republicans of Oregon, has an

He Is a native son of Oregon, and his
friends feel that should he be nomi

repeat the disgraceful tactics used so
effectively against Dr. Wlthycomue in
the last campaign, by reason of his
having been born In England and only
recently naturalized. Mr. Dimick Is
40 years of age and a self made man.

The many friends of Grant B. Dim
ick, the popular and efficient County
Judge of Clackamas County, are boom
ing him for Governor at -Che coming
state election, and the Welcome takes
this occasion to endorse him for that
office. He is a man of great executive
ability and Is a conscientious and
obliging official. As a matter of fact
Judge Dimick Is one of the few of our
officials who realizes he is a public
servant. Not only In his home County,
but throughout the entire State Judge
Dimick is very popular, and if he con

She has a voice brought to a high de

pronounced her the most promising
young musician of whom he has any
knowledge. She is a proficient dis
ciple of Liszt, through her own mus
ic master, Theodore Bohlmann of
the Stern Conservatory of music of
Berlin, under whom she graduated.
She will present a brilliant series of

The Booster Rally, hold at Shlvely's
opera house, Tuesday night, was a de
cided succoss, a large crowd of our
citizens attending, and the best of
harmony prevailed. Chairman Beatle
of the Publicity Committee presided.
and opened the meeting, with a few
well-timed remarks, that were appreci
ated. The Booster Sextette then ren
dered an original booster Bong, to the
air of "Marching through Georgia,"
that called for a round of applause and
an encore.
S. P. Davis, the wide awake public
ity man of the Commercial Club, under
whose auspices, the rally was held,
made a short speech, In which he
clearly portrayed all the natural re
sources of Clackamas County, with the
Cascade range and Mount Hood at one
end and the far-famed Willamette with
Its shipping facilities and power pro
ducing waterfalls at Oregon City, the
ancient historic town of the State, and
between the mountain and the river,
and still westward, as fine a fruit and
farming country as ever the sun shone
upon; a place of mild winters, de
lightful summers and glorious fall and
spring seasons, where blizzards are
unknown and thunder, lightning and
freezing weather, are rarities.
At the close of Mr. Davis' remarks,
the Sextette rendered another boost
ing song that was well received.
Hon. George C. Brownell made a
flve-mlnute talk, which contained many
excellent ideas, urging every one to
throw aside peanut prejudices, get
busy and boost, boost with coat off
and sleeves rolled up. His remarks
were enlivened with wit and humor
and every word told.
Hon. G. L. Hedges followed and like
hU predecessor, he urged every one
to get Into line and follow the band
wagon, boost the town, the county,
and all the Willamette Valley. Boost
the business men, the professional
men, the schools, the churches, boost '
everything proper ami everybody.
The Sextette then rendered another
