county has wilfully neglected the
road toward Canby, that in 1912
a special tax was voted to have
this road fixed up, and only about
ouu ieet or work has been done on
it since, not enough to be of any
benefit to the heavy traffic on this
county road, and it also claimed that
about $800 was paid for this 600
feet of road work, under supervision
of Mr. - Fine. A mass meeting
was held in Canby last Saturday to
protest against this alleged wastful
spending of county funds.
The committee was asked to look
into the following matters: Of
county paying expenses of enter
taining Estacada county division
delegation; that bills in the name of
O. E. Robbins, were put through
Oregon Commission Co.; that a war
rant was drawn for $150.00 . for
county publicity given to the Oregon
City Enterprise. It is also charged
that this $150 was used to get out a
booster edition of the Enterprise for
which the paper received consider
able other profit from sale through
out the state. Coast Bridge Company
bills, it is said, also need looking in
to. $350 paid for examination of
suspension bridge, while Messrs. Mof
fatt offered to inspect it free of
charge. One man said he sawed off
a part of the cable and found it dangerous.

ternoon Mrs. Mattheson,i of Oregon
City, sang a solo vnichwas much

Portland Library, gave a very inter
esting address.
The evening of the conference be
gan with a song service led by Mrs.
L'esLarzes. After the devotional ex
ercises, led by Mrs. Danenhauer of
Portland. Mrs. DesLarzes and Miss
Wolfe sang a duet.
The speaker of the evening was
Mrs .Noyce Jones of Salem, who
spoke on "The Best Books in the
World". The speaker asked those in
the audience who had read the Bible
straight through to raise their hands
and seven responded. Mrs. Jones
made the rest of the audience feel
that they ought to follow the exam
ple of the seven. She said that life
inspiration of the Bible had made all
the poetry and art and music of the
world possible.
After pledging themselves to be
loyal to their God and to each other
the very successful conference came
to a close.

The mass meeting committee
which had announced that on April
29th it would meet at the County
Court Mouse to hear any communica
tions from any citizen who wished
to appear and give information re
garding the charges now pending
against the court, held its meeting
as per schedule Tuesday at 1 0 clock.
and there was a large attendance
and much live interest shown in the
proceedings. Mr. Brown, chairman
of the citizens' mass meeting com
mittee, presided and announced the
session was for the purpose of hear
ing complaints from anyone who
wished to make same.
Mr. LaSalle said he wished to
speak about the bids in which he
and his father were interested, they
having bid $14,000 on a certain job
while the bid of Clarence Simmons
for $17,000 was accepted by the
court instead, and he alleged that
Mr. Simmons -was heard to boast in
advance of letting the contract that
no matter what the other bids might
be he was sure of the contract,
lioyt, appointed referee, decided in
favor of LaSalle, whereupon he
said the court turned down all bids
White Bros, drew the plans and said
5 per cent was received, but were
not allowed to supervise the construc
tion, $900 for plans.
The next matter that came up for
discussion was the franchise grant
ed on uctoDer znd, laiz, to fort
land Gas & Coke Co., to Park and
places beyond, which it is claimed
was just to give them control of the
franchise for all of Clackamas
county.
Mr. llageman said that in refer
ence to the new Clear Creek bridge
in reality all that was needed was
repairs, the stringers were O K, and
capable of supporting the weight of
very heavy teams 111 transit. Work
was done while tne contractors were
otherwise out of jobs, that is, while
they were "loaiing."
Another claim or graft was
the fact that Mr. Elliott petitioned
tor a bridge to be built in section
17, TS oE, on the old road toward
Damascus, and he got the bridge
over a dry gulch on Moffatt place,
with an offset of 4 feet at one end,
and there was actually no travel
over the bridge and it was not need
ea except 10 give someooay a
"job".
Again, it was asserted that rocks
were moved from place to place at a
cost to the county of $3.00 each which
was almost a "steal" in the" judge
ment of the taxpayers present at the
hearing.
The county finances are, however,
of $8li,2u2.61, bills for March not in
cluded, amounting to $25,270.08,
leaving a credit!' balance of $ti0,992.
No county is allowed to incur indebt
edness exceeding $5,000.00.
The purchase of a steam roller
and rock crusher came -up next, and
it was stated that the X-ounty. court
authorized the purchase of machines
at a price of $4,900 from a certain
manufacturer, and one taxpayer was
sulllciently interested to look into
the matter to the extent of getting
quotations from other concerns
making similar machines, with the
result that he found a Buffalo con
cern was willing to furnish a 9x16
crusher of the same kind for iust
$900 less than the price paid for the
Mine purchased by the county, which
auierence in price might have been
saved the taxpayers under different
conditions; This statement was
made by Mr. Olds, who was instru
mental in bringing to a head the
dissatisfaction of the taxpayers
which resulted in the present inves
tigation being conducted. Another
complaint was to the effect that the!
church is a powerless churcfi. There
should be a campaign for increased
giving to missions. Mr. Brown is
quite positive that we should give
as much for foreign missions as we
use for all other purposes combined.
The Sunday school should promote
missionary activities as the giving
of money -alone can not save a soul.
He says money alone is cheap. We
should look for new recruits. In all
of Mr. Brown's addresses he impress
ed the command of Christ to go
preach the gospel to every creature
in a way that will surely arouse a
permanent interest and desire to help
in the heart of all who were privileg
ed to hear him.
At the sectional conference on
teacher training Rev. Emerson in
speaking of the progress made said
that because of this activity the Sun
day school was becoming a real
school for Christ and modern stan
dards of pedagogy were being ap
plied because the instruction receiv
ed here must measure up to that
given in the public schools.
The evening service in the Baptist
church was addressed by Mr. Emer
son.
An overflow meeting was held in
the Methodist church. Mr. fisher
spoke on "The Moral Awakening at
the Present Time" and showed how
the history of Christianity made the
history of civilization and showed
that these periods were always pre
ceded by a decline of Christian in
fluence and power. He gave further
proofs by quoting from Lecky's "His
tory 01 Morals 01 Europe.
Mr. Brown then gave one of his
characteristic talks on reasons why
men should be in the Sunday school
and what to do with them after they
came. An effective Bible class of
men should be well organized and
then may work for an increase in
membership, a definite support of
some missionary enterprise, engage
in some iorm 01 community service
be active in personal evangelism and
use Bibles in class work.
The last session of the convention
opened Saturday morning. Mr,
Brown talked on some important de
partments of the Sunday school, with
special emphasis on the cradle roll
and the visitation committee.
The hour from 10:30 to 11:30 was
taken up by a demonstration of the
work aone Dy tne rortiana grade un
ion under the. leadership of their ef
ficient president, Mrs. Danenhower.
About twenty members of the class
were present. The union consists of
Sunday school workers from all de
nominations. They meet once a
week.. In order to organize a union
there must be workers from two or
more churches. At the close of fhe
hour five were awarded diplomas
from the advanced teacher training
course. They were Mrs. Ormsby,
Mrs. Danonhower, Mrs. Meachum,
Mrs. Jr'addock, and Mrs. Wilkins
Mrs. Wilkins was not rjresent.
After a closing talk by Mr. Brown
and the reading of the resolutions
which were drawn up by Mr. Morris
and his committee, the convention ad
journed.

GIRLS' CONFERENCE
(Continued form Page 1)
Miss Stella Wilson. Portland. An in-
advisory board consisting of Mrs.
Ormsby, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Britts,
Mrs. Danenhauer, Miss Lillian Miller,
Miss Helen Watts, Miss Myrtle Mills,
Miss Mildred Carlyle and the secon
dary superintendent of Grants Pass
was named. The committee consist
ed of Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. H. N.
Smith, Mrs. E. B. Andrews and Miss
Alma Haskins.
In closing the business session the
convention adopted the following resolutions:
"Be it resolved that the First
Girls' Convention of the state of
Oregon extends thanks, first to the
people of the Presbyterian church
who have given us the use of their
church building; second, to Mrs. An
drews and the ladies who so ably as
sisted her, and the young ladies of
decoration committee; third, to Mrs.
Ormsby, Mrs. Danenhauer, Miss
Wolfe, leader of the Queens cf Avil
ion, Miss Corey, leader of thf Camp
tire Girls, and to all those vho have
taken part in the program: fourth,
to the railroad companies for their
kindness in giving rates to this convention."
A beautiful demonstration was triv-
en by the Queens of Avilion, or the
Ladies of King Arthur's Court. They
tagoa a portion or the initiation of
1 Piglrim, for that is the name bv
which the new members are called.
The costumes worn by the members
we rebeautiful and the soft music
and singing were very attractive.
The Camp Fire 'Girls also present
ed a portion of a ceremonial meet
ing, showing the presentation of
beads to various members and the
other ceremonies which are a very
enjoyable part of such societies. The
camp fire work for girls takes up the
same line of work that the Boy
Scouts do for boys. Miss C. J. Corey,
physical director of the Y. W. C. A.
of Portland, explained the working of
the order.
The Sabbath 'afternoon meeting
for girls and women was opened by
a song service led by Mrs. Leon Des
Even the haughty chinook knew
that Booster Day was here, and when
one of them suntered forth to wit
ness the great parade on Friday the
trolley hook of J. B. Fairclough acci
dentally slid into his mouth and af
ter a half hour's struggle fifty
pounds of chinook was safely landed.
O. E. Jenkins also caught one weigh
ing 35 pounds.
Booster Day without the Oregon
City drum corps would be like the
play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
Under the leadership of Drum Ma
jor W. Jones, Messrs. Clyde, Grant,
Kelly and McClellen electrified the
visitors as well as the residents of
the city by reproducing many of the
patriotic airs that had so often re
sounded in their ears on the gory
battle field. They were heartily en
cored on every corner and at inter
ludes they pronounced themselves as
being in full accord with the beau
tiful sentiments expressed ' by the
governor of North Carolina to the
governor of South Carolina.
Did not our city look fine in her
Booster Day attire, with blue and
white ribbons flying everywhere, and
did not our stores present a good ap
pearance to the many visitors of the
day?
We have a good one on one of our
prominent city attorneys. As he was
trying to wend his way through the
Booster Day crowds, holding aloft
three toy ballons which he was trying
to get upstairs to nis nine ones witn-
out attracting too much attention, a
thrifty-looking farmer with several
eager children in the rear, hailed
Mr. Hedges and wanted to buy bal
loons. The look on Mr. Hedges' face
as he hurried on was not one that
we usually see on a balloon vender's
face, and his disgust was intensified
by a phone call soon after reaching
his oliice, demanding his license for
selling balloons.
. A special meeting of the city coun
cil was held to discuss the improving
of Seventh street. As there was no
quorum present there was merely an
informal discussion as to the advis
ability of macadamizing or hardsur
facing the street.
A MATTER OVERLOOKED
Little Attention Given to Schools,
Teachers and Children
Since the editor has kindly offered
the pages of this number of his pa
per to the ladies, my pen almost re
fuses to remain idle, so I will evi
dence my appreciation by adding a
mite.
Next to the health of our children
comes the subject of their education.
Much of .the responsibility attached
has been carried by the head of the
families, but with the change time is
bringing we will be compelled to as
sume many duties wnicn neretoiore
have been managed by our husbands
and fathers. Some of them are just
now awakening from a "Rip Van
Winkle" slumber and they find that
while they have been dreaming that
many things have happened. They
find they have been robbed of a liv
ing sufficient to educate their fast
growing children. While they are
busy adiustiner the perplexing sub
ject of how to fill the pocket book it
is quite natural to suppose some of
their work will suffer from neglect.
Why not begin by taking more inter
est in the school. The excellent
school buildings speak for the pro-
gressiveness of the people. How
many of us know that they are com
modious, sanitary and well ventilated.
How many visit the school, become
acquainted with the teuchers. They
need your cooperation. 11 they are
laboring conscientiously for the ad
vancement of your child, why not
talk it over with them. Ask your
little boy when he come3 from
school what word he has learned to
spell today. Sometimes lay aside
the embroidery and hear him read
his lesson. No where is our help
needed more than in the schools and
once we begin it goes on from teach
er to superintendent and school
board until in various ways we can
by united effort raise the standards
of our schools. There can be no
greater incentive, no better field in
which to work than to promote good
morals by educating the children.
