Nothing Wrong With the
"Harem Skirt
BIRD MEN WILL FLY.
Aviation Meet to Be Held There
Festival Week
IS MODEST AND -VERY BAGGY,
But What is Unfamiliar we Must
Not Tolerate.
Every papar yon piok up has some
thing to say about the harem skirt,
aud it always has a Rood position,
with a doable head.
And what's it all about, anjhow?
Nothing in the world bat a costsnie
that is unusual, something the eye is
not accustomed to, and we gap in vul gar
cariosity.
Supposing a woman would appear
on our streets t.omoriow in a hoop
skirt of the days when mother was a
girl.
Supposing a woman would walk
down Main street with one of those
liuuips behind ono ot those hustle de
formities that were fashionable a few
years ago.
Supposing one of onr society ladies
should attend a social alTair with her
hair hanging down over her eyes and
- bobbed straight across like a Znui
Indian, aud as was tho custom a few
years ago.
Don't you believe the papers would
feature all this in box heads, front
page, full position?
This harem skirt is nothing in the
world bnt a pair of baggy breeches
reaohing down to the ankles, and we
are a lot of honuheads to let them
make so much interest. There is
nothing loud, last or immodest in
them, and they have a modern ball
gown chased over the fence from the
point of modesty. We are not famil
iar with them tliat in all.
Only a few mouths ago the hobble
skirt had its free advertising as some
thing unusual, but now only the most
ooutrauted forms uttract notice.
If tha dear girls have sand enough
to slay with the harem skirt the pub
lio will soon drop it.
The Curtis Bros, flying team will
be one of the big attraatrous in Port
land daring the rose carnival next
month, and the nioeting w ill be hold
from June 5 to 9 inclusive.
Various performances in the air are
being plauued for this meeting. One
of the features planned isto race one
of speediest automobiles in Portland
on a racetrack. While in Pcrtlsnd
the Ourtiss flyers probably w ill circle
the city in their aeroplanes and if
conditions are right, Ely will give an
exhibition with the famous Curtiss
hydro-aeroplane, the machine that
rises from either hind or water, with
which he made several experiments
for the United Statos navy hist win
ter. Ely was the first man to fly to
aud from the decks of a battleship.
Willard and Hnbbins are also among
the nation's celubrities in tlio avia
tion fluid.

PETITION UP TO COUNTY COURT
the
Former Resident Dead.
A. H. Qriesseu, a former resident
of this city, died at his home, 650
Spokane Ave., in Portland, Friiay,
after a lingering illness caused by
oaucer. At the time of his death he
was about 40 years of age. For many
years Mr. Griessn and family were
rosidonts'of liis city, where he was in
business. Dating his residence here
he made many frieuds, who will be
surprised to hear of his demise. Be
sides bis widow he leaves two daugh
ters, MisHes Lillian and Alvena Qrios
sen, and one brother, Frt derick Grijs
sen, proprietor of the Willamette
Hotel in this city. The funeral was
held from the family residence, San
day afternoon.
GOING TO STATE FAIR.
State
School Exhibit will be at
and County Gairs.
Perhaps Superintendent loom know
what lie was starting when Jia opened
the publio school exhibit in'the Wein
hard building, but certainly tho peo
ple did not, and they are yet talking
about it, aud those who did not see it
wish they had.
And now the state and county fairs
both want the exhibit, and it has been
docided to make the displays at both
places. Oscar Frevtag, mayor of
Marie Erickson Wants to Sell
Booze and Hard Cider.
A petition with a hundred signa
tures has been published and is uow
presented to the couuly court, by
Marie Erickson, wife ofAugnst Erick
son, asking that a license be granted
her to sell spirituous liquors and hard
cider at a roadhouso in Abernethy.
Vto uunorstand there is consider
able opposition to the granting of this
license.-and it will be contested be
fore the court. This place was for
merly run under the name of "Clack-
amas Hiialth Resort" aud it is said
trie name was a decided misnomer, as
there wire far more headaches made
man cured ut tins wet goods empor
ium. Howevor the health resort bo
came quite famous and had a big run
if "patients" up to the .time of its
closing about two years ago.
The apphcat'on lor a 'license to ro-
oreu tins place provides that the
liquors are not to be sold over a bar
aud sales are not to be made in quan
uuos over one gallon. It is what is
1 termed a hotol license," where you

county. There -ere not any tongues

waiting for a road house license to

j City Takes Steps to Abolish
Abernethy Danqer.
An ordinance is before the city
connou providing ior a new steel
bridge over Abernethy creek, and it is
a certainty that some action should
D9 speedily taken to replace orjrebuilrt
tins dangerous nignwav.
This if the bridge the Courier lias
before called attention to as danger
ous, aud the bridge through which
Augurtm Meiritz narrowly eroaped
death by breaking through the rotten
planking May 2, and it has been a
daugerouB menace for many wm ks.
As we understand the matter, it is
propohed by the ordiuanoa to build
a new steel ttructnre at a cost of
18,600. 3,000 of which is to be paid
by the city and $(!,500 by tho Portland

The bridge will have a 22-foot,

have consented
One must see the display to appre
ciate the work it can't be described.
Every foot of the big exhibition is
intensely interesting. Starting with
the lowest grade and following it
grade by grade to the high school, it
shows a line of work and progress
that too few of os know anything of,
and a line of work very ftiscinntius.
It is to be regretted that the exhibi
tion could not have beeu longer op
ened to the public, but the state and
county fairs will give all opportuni
ties to see it later. ;
If we are to have licenses tha nlace
to grant them is where they will be
unuer pohca supervision, aud where
they will be compelled to live up to
restrictions The county has no need
of out of the way booze joiutg aud
"free-and-easys" for Portland's
bloods. , The license shuuld be denied.

FLORAL PARADE JUNE 3.
for
Some New and Attractive
City's Rose Festival.
There will be a haudsouTiTTioral pa
iad in connection with our city's
floral exhibit June 3 a new feature
that will attract much interest to the
nnunal rose festivities. It is plauned
to bsve floats and' decorated vehicles
of all kinds, and loadB of little chil
dren in costume to finish the settings.
This will be a very attractive addi
tion to the festivities, and one onr
people, aud especially tho lndieB,' will
take an euthusiastio interest in, aud
you know that what the ladies take
hold of will be done and done right.
Clouded Title Stops Work on
Their New Home.
Considerable disappointment is ex
pressed in the city that the title of
the proporty recently purchased by
the Elks for a $25,000 home, is not
clear, aud the probabilities are tiiat
tho deal is off, and that another site
will havo to be purchased.
About three weeks ago tho Elks
lodee purchased Main street property
and two additional back lots for $8,
000, and at once wont to won to raise
f25,000 for the building of u handsome
lodge home. But in searching the
titles to the property it was found
that the title of the lots was not
clear. The lots were owned by the
Alden Prune Drying Company: the
taxes were unpaid ten or twelve years
ago; a tax title was obtained by
Thomas Kyan Bnd H. O. Stevens.
U P. Hawley pnruhased the lots four
years ago, and he sold the property to
the Elks. Since the matter of a
clouded title has" been found, Mr.
Hawlev has offered the lodge a bar
gain and sale deed or a special war
rantee deed, but the trustees are not
favorbale. The lodgo has given Mr.
Hawley sixty days' time to clear the
titlo, and should he not be able to do
so, other locations for the Elks home
will be taken up.
And tho next day it rained.

TRY IT IN OUR CITY.
Crook County Town Has Started
Something Right.
Bend, a little village in Crook
county, has started a contest between
property owners for beautifving that
place, prizes ranging ir. ia fflO down
being offered to those who keep the
neatest lawns, hack yards, etc.
There is nothing a city or town can
do that will attract attention and
make it a desirable place to live like
neat residences and surroundings. A
fresh paiuted house, a well kept lawn
aLd a neat back yxrd add far more to
the value of the property than the ex
pense and labor, and they incite the
adjoining property owner to do like
wise. There are many handsome, well-
kept residence properties m Oregon
City, plaoes we , are proud of and
point out to newcomers, bnt there are
so many others that could be made
attractive by very little expense and
some work, aud our residence owners
should takejruore interest in these de
tails; and do it for oity pride rather
than prizes.
When the street work on the heights
is completed there will be every in
centive to make this residence section
a beauty section, and property owners
should start in now and each make
his property an ornament to the street.
Harding Grange Will Exhibit
One of tho best farming districts of
Clackamas county will be represented
at the Fifth Annual Clackamas Coun
ty Fair by a large district display
under the auspices of the Harding
Grange of Logan.
Harding Orange has nover before
exhibited at the fair bnt the poople of
this section are noted for their enter
prising spirit, aud considering the
resources thny have in the way of
good formers on good farms, it is just
ly predicted that the first prize is not
out of thoir reach.
It is very gratifying to the manage
ment to have the Uranges of the
county take so muoh iutercat in the
fair. The tecr tiiry states that last
yosr at this time practically nn space
in the pnvilinu bad been takru and
that already this year the space is
well taken np. Tho prospects are
bright for a bine ribbon talr and from
the present oat look of all crops, the
various agricultural dorartuiouts will
be a credit to this county.
"Gypsy Queen" was Pleasing.
A large aud sppreoiative audience
greeted "The Gyisy Queen," which
took place in the Hhively opera house,
Friday evening, uuder the auspices of
the Eing's Daughters of the Episco
pal church. The play was under the
direction of Mr. and Mrs. Simpson of
Chicago, who are lo be complimented
on directing sach a large cast in soch
a short time. The costumes worn by
those taking part in the play and also
the ohoruses were very prottv and at
ractive. The solos rendered by
Mi.-scs Hickmao, Schatz, King. Wood
ward, Alldredge. and Wtstengard, re
ceived the 'applause of the audience,
and the LaCarmeta waltz, by Miss
Clara Fiolde and Mr. Oscar Woodnn
was exetated in a professional man
ner. The members of the cast, Missus
Brown, Hickman, Alldredga, Uinnott,
King, Schatz, Schnebel, Petzold,
Paiker, Lageson, Fields aud Messrs.
Lazille, Moody, Gordon, livaus. gave
a good repersentatiou of different
characters. The Hichland Fling by
Misses Kasael and Johnson was well
received. The work done by the
choruses, as well as their makeup and
costuming, was splendid. Mr. Simp-
fon, accompanied by Miss Louise
Huntley, gave a violin solo and re
ponded tu an encore.

Striking Feature of the Portland

The ''Shower of Roses" in which
millions of rosebuds, blooms and pet

cars by 100 young women in white
and which has become one of the not
able events of the annual Portland
Roao Festival is tobe repeated again
this year, probably two and possibly
throe days of the festival week, June
5-10.
People of te East, and for that mat
ter, very few in this section of the
country have ever soeu a spectacle
like this. The train comprising six
oars is hoaded by a special car con
taining a largo band and as the pro
cession travels through the slrnets,
the thousands of pedestriaus lining
the streets are simply bomdardel with
the beautiful roues. lo add to the
charm anil interest of the spectacle,
tin spectators usually engage in a
'Rose Battle," pelting the young
somen with the flowers after they
have been showered in the streets

A Little Talk to Clacka
mas County Friends.
IT IS BOOST OR BE WAITERS.
Work May Start all Along the
Line or it May Drag Along.
That is it is possible to build a rail
road without the influence or basking
of the big promoters is being demon
strated in this oounty every day, and
in a few months trains will be run
ning over the Clackamas Southtrn
railroad a railroad bailded and op
erated by Clackamas county farmers
aud business men.
There is no more reason why our
county should not build a railroad
than why our oity should not build
its waterworks, bat in far too many
instances suoh schemes have been
started to fatten the bank roll of a
fewiudividuals, and the peopl are
educated to the point of caution in '
taking stock in suoh promotions.
The GlackaniBS Southern Deonls
started right, and this is why the
project is going to end right. Ths
directorswere picked from men who
stood ace high with the people, men
who the people ot this county know
personally, and men who are dead
honest.
But further, they tied up with by
laws every road to graft, pledged that
no director Bhould reoeive a dollar for
his work and that every dollar rs
oeived for stook sales should go into
the railroad, into material road work,
iuto the right of way.
And it looks mighty good to inves
tors, to men who want to place a dol
lar where two will grow, and if it is
neaessary to go out of the oounty to'
get money enough to complete tha
road, there is very little doubt but
what every dollar necessary will b
subscribed by Portland capitalists
aione.
Bat this should not be, nor should
it be necessary. The road will bs
built, itjwill open a big business area,
and it is as certain as the rails are
laidtlmt the road will pay and pay
big, 'because the business is there and
it moBt pay. And if Portland's mon
ied men are willing to stake it, oer
taiuly the mon of our county oan
take small stock holdings and keep
the road aud its management a horn
affair.
The directors want it this way and
they are going to work mighty hard
to have it this way.
This week there will be rallies at
Mulino and. Beaver Creek, at Mnlino
Friday afternoou at 3 and at Beaver
Creek in the evening at 7:30, and
there meetings will determine
whether grading will begin at Beaver
Creek at.ouce. It is simply a quel
tiou of backing, of stock selling.
The directors are pledged not to go
in debt for a dollar, aud it is simply
up to these localities to gat in and
help, aud the dirt will fly.
A full force is working on the road
at this end and now that the weather
is favorable the grading is going
ahead rapidly, and it will go ahead
all along the right of way as soon as
the neoessary capital is in sight and
not until.
One-fourth down, ths balanoe in
easy payments la a scheme any man
can take a little in, and the time to
take it is now for when the road is
halt done you can't set it at the pres.
ent prioe.
Uut In, ba a booster for Clackamas
oounty.
