WIFE SEES
HIM DROWN
Edward Clevengcr is Carried
Away by Clackamas
WOMAN'S LONE VIGIL
Mrs. Clevenger Watched All Night on
Bank In Vain Effort to Find
Husband's Body
To see lier husband sweft away and
drowned before her eyes, and then to
wait alone all night on the bank of
the stream In the hopes of the re
mains coming to tho surface, was the
sad experience of Mrs. Edward Clev
enger of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Clev-
enger were on their way to the hot
springs near the headwaters of the
Clackamas River, and having lost the
trail, decided to cross the- Clackamas
about ten miles from Estacada In an
effort to relocate the trail. Clevenger
sent his wife across on the saddle
horse and attempted to ford the river,
leading the packhorse. It is not
known whether lie lost his footing
and was swept away, or whether the
horse fell, dragglitg him with it.
All night she slaved there, watch
ing the stream that had swept away
her husband. Next morning, siimmon-
li"g her courage, she recrossed with
the intention of getling help to nna
tho body. She mot a fire warden, Ray
Eshelman. who went with her to
Cazadero, where J. L. Hewitt, and Earl
Wagner joined the party to return to
the scene of tne drowning with grap
pling hooks.
The brave woman. In spite of her
lonely, all-night vigil on the bank of
the stream, was not overcome by the
disaster that had overtaken her, and
bravely went buck with the search
ing party to seek for her husband's
body.

Steps Will Be Taken to Make Permanent
Organization of McLaughlin Me

As the anniversary of the death of
Dr. John McLoughlln falls on Friday,

bvate the occasion out of doors, it will
be held in the old building. The ded
ication of the old home of McLoughlln
will be held on that day also, and the
entire dav will be given to the mem
ory of that good old man, who did so
much for Oregon, and especially for
Oregon City. As there are a great
many people In Oregon City, Portland
and other cities in the Willamette
Valley who would like to see a per
manent organization known as the
McLoughlln Memorial Association, a
movement will be put on foot that
day to form an organization that will
be everlasting and that will keep be
fore the minds of the public the mem
ory of the founder of Oregon.
The contract for painting the build
ing has been let to S. M, Tanzer, who
put in the smallest bid, that of
$02.72. Work will be commenced at
once.
The Association Is to be commend
ed for its efforts in preserving the
home and memory of McLoughlln In
spite of the many difficulties and ob
stacles placed before them.

Power Craft That Refuses to.
Stay Upside Down.
RIGHTS AND BAILS ITSELF.
Engine 8topi When the Venal Is Up
set Shuttered Holes In Bottom Let
the Water Out, but Permit Nona to
Come In.
Those who saw the- tests of O. R.
Ingersoll's self righting and self ball
ing power boat at Governors Island,
New York, the other afternoon almost
were persuaded to believe being, ship
wrecked would be a pleasure. Though
the craft Is large enough to carry fifty
persons, after It was turned keel up by
means of a derrick on board the steam
boat General Johnston, It righted Itself
In five seconds and balled Itself In
twenty-seven seconds. Moreover, Its
gasoline engine stopped autouiatlcally
when the boat was keel up. The test
was made after the- boat made a trip
against the tide from Bayonne. Then
It was sent darting around the island,
displaying speed and ability to turn
quickly.
An army officer who saw the test
said being In such a boat when It up
set would be no more dangerous than
taking a bath. There Is no danger of
the provisions and water casks being
lost overboard when the boat turns
over, for they are In water tight com
partments. The twenty-five horsepow
er motor Is in a water tight Inclosure
In the stern. The gasoline tank for the
motor is in the bow. It will bold
twenty-five gallons and a larger tank
In the bottom of the boat seventy-five,
the total being sufficient to keep the
boat going for twenty-five hours.
The craft is of steel, so there is no
danger from fire. Between the dock
and keel Is a series of horizontal air
tight tubes in four water tight com
partments, so that the boat might be
irammed and broken at any point with
out seriously affecting its ability to
keep afloat. There are eight holes
through the bottom, each with a pecul
iarly constructed shutter, which per
mits water which may be taken aboard
to run out, but none to run In.
One of the features which make It
available for life saving purposes is
Its weight. The builders of other boats
who attempted to accomplish the Bame
thing made them so heavy they could
not be taken on board a ship. Inger
soll's boat Is 30 feet 7 Inches long, 7
feet 0 Inches wide and 3 feet 8 inches
deep. It weighs only 5.S0O pounds.
Small boats launched from a vessel in
a storm nre often smashed or sunk by
overcrowding. It makes no difference
how tho Ingersoll boat Is launched, be
cause it rights Itself anyway. It will
sustain three times the weight of all
the persons who could crowd Into It
and hang on the gunwales.
Ingersoll's boats, built on the same
model, have been used by the quarter
master's department of the army sev
eral years. The new feature recently
demonstrated was equipping one with
power. There was no difficulty about
putting u motor In this style of boat,
nor was It difficult to store the gaso
line where It could not become Ignited
and explode. The problem was to have
the engine stiij automatically when
the boat was overturned. If it did not
stop and the passengers were thrown
into the water 1 lie craft would leave
them In its wake after it had righted
itself. .Moreover, the rapidly revolving
propeller might cut person struggling
In the water to get on board after the
upset. Tho easiest way to overcome
file difficulty was to let the water on to
the engine, but that would put It out of
commission until It could be cleaned
and repaired. In the type tested the
other day Ingersoll solved the problem.
The test was conducted under the
supervision of Major Itichard Scho
(leld of the quarlerumsior's depart
ment, aided' by Captain William II.
Wflllains, marine expert. Willi him
were Lieutenant Colonel A. Cronkhit,
an expert In Hie artillery corps, and
Colonel I. W; I .it toll and Captain F. A.
Grant of the quartennaflor's depart
ment. They were pleased willi the
work of tho boat and congratulated
the luveutor, who lives In Wilmington,

BIG FARMING WAGER
Bet of $10,000 on International
Grain Growing Contest.
AMERICA VERSUS CANADA.
Crops of Oats to Be Grown at Lara
mie, Wyo., and at Lethbridgc, in
Western" Canada, to Decide Ralalive
Merits of Farming by Irrigation and
Natural Rainfall,
The relative merits of farming by
Irrigation aiul by natural rainfall a::d
whether or tint the Toiled Stales or
western Canada (an produce a larger
crop of oats are tn be decided for a bet
of flO.OOf) in cah. accordiii.: to the
terms of a contest which was rec ently
arranged between farmers of Laramie.
Wyo., and LothbrhLre, Alberta. snvs a
Cheyenne (Wyo.) dispatch. The ?To.
000 has been poslrd. and all the de
tails of the contest have been arranged,
Colonel E. J. of I.nriiinie, owner
of the lnrgest farm In Wyoming, put
up the $10,000 whirl) says that Irriga
tion and the United States can do bet-,
ter than Canada. A syndicate of farm
ers around Lethbrldge, Alberta, head
ed by Trofessor W. II. Fairchild of
that city, has covered Colonel Bell's
money and says that natural rainfall
and Canadian soil can raise more oats
to the acre than cnti Colonel Bell, Wy
oming and Irrigation.
On the American side the oats which
will be entered in the contest will be
grown by Colonel Bell himself on his
great Laramie plains farm. This farm
is more than 7,000 feet above sea level,
on the western slope of the lirst range
of the Rocky mountains, and depends
entirely upon Irrigation for its moisture
during the summer. For years Colo
nel Bell has paid particular attention
to the raising- of nuts, and he holds a
record of 137 bushels to the acre. By
carefully selecting the seed, specially
preparing the soli and closely watch
ing his ditches to see that just the
necessary amount of water reaches his
oats at the needful time Colonel Bell
says he can considerably Increase the
yield of his oat fields.
In Canada the prize oats will be
grown by farmers around Lethbrldge,
with Professor W. n. Fairchild In
charge of the preparations and the'
harvest. Professor Fairchild has for
years studied the crops In southern
Alberta, and many of the great yields
of wheat and oats from Canadian fields
are due to the adoption of his theories
by the farmers of his section.
There are ouly two rules to the con
test. One of them Is that the yield
from 100 acres in one body must be
considered. The other rule Is that, the
oats entered must be "standard" grade
or better. Either contestant may pre
pare the ground, sow his seed, culti
vate and harvest In auy manner he
chooses. Nothing but the result from
100 acres will count in awarding the
prize. The Alberta farmers them
selves are something In the way of oat
raisers, and government reports from
that province show that yields of 120 to
125 bushels per acre are common. Oat
straw five feet in height Is the ordi
nary, according to these reports.
The contest Is to be decided by the
officials of the National Corn show.
Harvest in Wyoming occurs very Jate
In August and In Alberta in Septem
ber, so that (he winner will not be an
nounced until probably the first week
in October.

Bloomingloii and Decatur of the
Three I league recently broke at
Bloomington, 111., the world's profes
sional record for long baseball games,
playing twenty-six innings Decatur
won, '1 to 1.
The grounds were muddy and slip

extraordinary, and the pitching of
Burns and Clark was phenomenal.
The game wad called for fifteen min
utes on account of the rain lu the fifth
Inning. The actual playing time was
four hours and twenty minutes.
Bloomington scored lty one run In the
first Inning, while Decatur scored xme
in the third and one In the twenty,

base hits and committed one error,
while Decatur hit eleven times with
two errors.

Novelty In Islands.
A great French gun company has
constructed an urtlllclal island In the
Mediterranean sea some distance out
from Toulon to be used as an experi
mental station for torpedoes. It Is
called the "lie des Torpilles," which
means the Island of Torpedoes, aud
the method of its construction Is In
genious. When the idea first present
ed Itself to tho company a small island
in a proper locality was searched for,
but without success. Therefore the
company decided to build a hollow
concrete Island, float it to tne position
desired and sink It to the sea bottom.
The huge structure, seventy-five feet
loug, fifty feet wide and about seven
ty feet In height, was constructed on
the banks of the Seine, launched and
towed to Its position In the Mediter

MISS ADAMS' STAGE MOUNT.
How Aotress Coaches Her Horse For
His Part In "Jtan of Arc."
Auy morning these days If you hap
pened to drop lull) the Central I 'ark
Riding academy tt f New York between
tho hours of 8 and 0 o'clock In the
morning which, however, without cre
dentials you would not be allowed to
do-you might see Miss Maude Adams,
the actress, In the strangest sort of
costume mounted on a beautiful white
horse which she rides around the ring.
To the horse are fastened all sorts of
metal objects, which Jungle as he can
ters, and grooms throw colored ban
ners and flags Into his face until the
performance takes on the aspect of a
bullfight. Noises are also playing a
part in this horse's education, and lie
Is being treated to all sorts of strange
sounds from various instruments.
The reason for all this is that' the
horse is the steed which Miss Adams
Is to use in her performance of Schil
ler's "Joau of Arc" in the Harvard
stadium at Cambridge, Mass., on June
22. When the horse, a beautiful white
Arabian animal, was selected Miss Ad
ams decided to undertake ills training
all herself. She wanted lilni to be
come accustomed to her and to know
her. . '
In the Schiller drama the hore
plays an important part. In fact. Miss
Adams will be on his back or dis
mounting or mounting throughout four
acts. In the battle scene she gallops
at full speed across the stadium. Con
sequently It Is necessary that the horse
should know how to behave, even in
the face of Beethoven's "Erolea" sym
phony, which is to be played piecemeal
through the performance.
Now, Miss Adams knows that yon
may ride a horse for several week
and imagine you have trained lilm not
to be afraid of anything when he will
discover some bit of paper In the road
which will throw him Into spasms of
terror. And she doesn't want any
thing of that sort to happen on the
evening of the play.
So every morning she goes to the rid
ing academy. A mediaeval saddle, sev
eral Inches higher than the modern
one, Is put on the horse, which she
then mounts. Miss Adams' costume
is not the one she will use in Cam
bridge. It consists of divided skirts,
to which' pieces of metal are fastened
and which will serve to n'ccustoui the
horse to the real suit of armor she will
don later. The banners of various col
ors are waved in the horse's face 'so
that he may not suddenly become
frightened at the battle scene.
After all this has been gone through
with for nu hour or so Miss Adams
takes the horse back to the pork, hav
ing garbed herself more convention
ally, and rides him for an hour, occa
sionally feeding him lumps of sugar,
and already the horse is becoming ex
tremely tractable under her training.
Miss Adams will continue her re
hearsals with her horse until June 10,
when she leaves for Boston to begin
general rehearsals of the Schiller play.
OCEAN GOLF NOW THE RAGE

Trobably most of the credit for the
innovation belongs to Mrs. Conrad,
who is a devotee to golf and is not un
known among the golf experts in the
western metropolis. She, with her hus
band, was a passenger on the Ilnm-burg-AmerlcuD
liner Kalserin Auguste
Victoria, which recently arrived at
New York. The Conrads suggested to
their fellow passengers the adoption
of the game, and before the voyage
was fairly begun ocean golf was quite
the rage. Four days of fine weather
were devoied to the game, many worn
en participating In It. Charles L.
Blshopeof l.ockport. N. Y., captured all
records, his best effort being twenty
seven points.
"The game of ocean golf Is played on
the steamer's deck over a nine hole
course," explained Mrs. Conrad, "and
wo use the disk -and other implements
of the shullleboard game. I can assure
every one that ocean golf is a sport
and diversion just too lovely for any
thing. All the rules of regular golf are
observed, though the holes, bunkers
and all other obstacles to be overcome
are drawn In chalk on the deck. Just
say to all skeptics that ocean golf Is
the finest game aboard ship that ever
was."

COMPLAINTS LED TO ACTION.
Conference of Ministers and Laymen
Will Pass Judgment on Missouri
Clergyman at End of His Test Camp
.In Ozark Mountains Will Be Opened
For Patients. ,
Au Ozark mountain beauty spot, near
a new town named Mount View, In
Howell county, Mo.. Is to be the scene
of a prolonged test of the value of
I'psychlo. healing" for the use of min
isters of the orthodox churches. If
the test Is successful, Methodist min
isters throughout Missouri may be an
thorlzed to practice psychic healing
Whenever they see lit. The Itcv. Dr.
Andrew T. Osbrou, pastor of the Ben
ulugton Heights M. E. church of Kan
sas City. Mo., .is to make the experi
ment. The decision of the conference
was to suspend judgment upon Dr. Os
brou and his methods until the next
annual conference.
The conference did not Indorse Dr.
Osbron's endeavors to mix metaphys
ics and preaching. He had not asked
for Indorsement - only a chance to
make a test, and that was granted. Al
ready seventy-five patient's have ap
plied to him, and In less than n month
tithe Omrk camp may be opened.
The Emmanuel movement In Kan
sas City as led by Dr. Osbrou had
reached such proportions a few months
ago as to cause complaints that the
leader could not take care of U and
his church' routine nt the same time.
So, actunted by complaints made to
him lu a mass meeting held In his
church and by the warnings of certain
of his colleagues In the ministry. Dr.
Osbron handed In his resignation, and
wheu the state conference met at Se
dalia in last April ho asked that body
Just what attitude the church "was go
ing to take toward mental science and
its allied.branches. The ministers and
leading laymen of the church answer
ed lu.effect, "We do not Indorse you,
but we will stand by you as Interested
spectators and watch you for a year
before we render Judgment."
In 1005 this same minister whlio
stationed at Jackson, Mo., stirred the
M. E. Church South with a similar
question and was censured, then vin
dicated. Ills own account of that af
fair is that ever since his boyhood he
has been a student of psychology,
psycho-therapy, mental science, spirit
ualism and even of the tricks of the
conjurer and that he prepared a lec
ture on "Mind aud Mystery," embody
ing the results of his studies and giv
ing practical demonstrations of the
fakes that are often practiced.
He announced that he would give
the lecture and set the date. The
board of directors of his church asjted
him not to do so, saying tlint they did
not wish to antagonize a strong com
munity of spiritualists living near
Jackson, in the town of Mlllcrvlllo.
Dr. Osbron's answer was brief, "I will
give the lecture."
He did and Immediately afterward
was asked to- resign. With the con
sent of his bishop lie left his charge,
then spent the summer continuing to
give the lecture that had caused the
trouble. In September ho had tired of
dress suits' and kerosene footlights and
asked to be given a charge. This was
refused. So wheu the M. E. Church
South met In conference at Birming
ham, Ala., he went there to petition
the committee on episcopacy. Though
he tried several times to get a hear
ing, he was shut out. What to do next
under such circumstances puzzled him.
The problem finally Was solved for
him by a reporter, who called in half
a dozen other newspaper men and told
Dr. Osbron to detail to them the cir
cumstances of his case. The follow
ing day the minister got a heating
without .delay. The bishop who had
been most prominent In the attack
was censured, and Dr. Osbron was
given the desired credentials. He used
these papers to gain entrance to the
main body of the M. E. church.
He went to Kansas City in August.
1907, after two years in southern Mis
souri. In the spring 06 1908 he again
began giving the lecture on "Mind and
Mysteiy" and made, it is said, a num
ber of cures by psycho-thoraphy and
suggestion. His fame spread until
the patients by his own confession
took up almost as much time as the
pastorate.
Theu trouble began. Some of the
congregation pointed out that in their
day Methodist ministers didn't study
conjurer's tricks or dabble In hypnotism
or expose the "act" of the Bangs sis
ters, and they said they didn't Intend
to have the name of the Bennington
Heights church used iu connection
with such things. And when it be
came necessary to hire a deaconess to
help Dr. Osbron with his church rou
tine and patients began to come In
from out of towu to be treated the
dissatisfied members grumbled louder
and louder.
So many patients came after a few
more weeks that Dr. Osbron prudently
trained some assistants to help him
treat "started a school," his enemies
said. Then came the mass meeting
and the resignation. New York World.

HE SPREAD OUT.
Advice the Roofer Got From His Boss
In Apprentice Days.
The man was working on t lie side of
a steeply sloping roof. All of a sudden
his foot slipped, and, with a groan, he
began to slide, down slowly toward tho
edge.
As he slid he clutched with tense
fingers at the tin, but It was smooth.
It offered him no hold, and his speed
gradually but surely lncrcused.
As in a sitting posture, like a tobog
ganer, the man continued bis deadly
slide he began to pray In a loud, au
gulslied voice.
Memory, as If In answer to his pray
er, flashed across his brain the words:
"Spread out."
The man instantly lay flat on his
back, spreading arms and legs to their
widest angle, making himself as much
as possible like a -starfish. And his
speed nt once , decreased. The addi
tional friction surface acted like a
brake. A few feet from the edge of
the roof he came to anchor.
"Help!" be then shouted.
But the slight movement of shouting
acted like a push, and he slipped down
a few Inches more.
"Help!" And again he slid a little.
Hut this time help came. A rope was
thrown, and the mail climbed back to
safely.
He wiped the dews of terror from
his brow.
"My boss in my apprentice days," ho
said, "told mo If I ever started sliding
down a roof slope to spread out und It
would stop me, I didn't believe him;
hut, by jingo, he was right."
The man smiled and sighed, musing
on his long dead boss. Then he crawl

A LOST ART.
8eoret of the Tools Used by the Incas
and the Aztecs.
What was the combination of met
als from which the Egyptians, Aztecs
aud the Iucas of Peru manufactured
their tools and arms? Though each of
these nations reached a high state of
civilization, none of them ever discov
ered iron In spite of the fact that the
soil of all three countries was largely
impregnated willi It. But they substi
tuted for It a combination of metals
that had the temper of steel, nnd the
secret of the combination Is lost to
mankind.
Humboldt tried to discover the lost
art by analyzing a chisel found In an
ancient Iucn silver mine, but all he
could make of it 'was that it appeared
to be a combination of a small portion
of tin with copper. No present known
way of combining these two metals
will give the hardness of steel, so
there must have been something else
In the chisel which Humboldt missed.
And these ancient races were aide to
prepare pure copper so that it equaled
the temper of the finest steel produced
at the present day by the most scien
tific process. With their bronze and
copper instruments they were able to
quarry aud shape the. hardest stone,
such as granite and porphyry, and
even cut emeralds. The ancient peo
ples must have independently discov
ered the art of tempering copper, and
yet It is a secret that baffles modem
scientists of the whole civilized world.

A seaweed has Invaded the oyster
beds of France aud carried off 400,000
oysters. It has carried them off bodily,
as a thief would do. The minute seeds
of tills weed float up tho English chan
nel In the current of the gulf stream;
they settle on oysters In the Breton
beds of Morblhan, Qulberon and Belle
Isle, and they grow to the size of a
duck's egg. They are full of water,
but at maturity the water evaporates, -and
air takes Its place. The egg shaped
seaweed is then a balloon, and, like a
balloon, it lifts Its oyster from the bot
tom and bears tt out to sea.
