OREGON WONDERS TOLD
Railroad Booklet Calls Attention of
State's Beauties to Tourists
Ovetfnn's outdoor wonders have
been celebrated ever since the namej
"Oreeon" has been spoken. The first ;
explorers told of a land of great for
ests, mighty rivers, shimmering,
snow-capped peaks, clear blue lakes,
fish-crowded streams, wild-game
haunts, and infinite variety of sea
shore, and broad, beautiful valleys
made luxuriant in vegetation by. the
mild climate. Since then, other won
ders have been found, greater than
those mentioned by the pioneers.
In an effort to tell visitors to this
Coast in 1915, bent on Seeing Amer
ica First, where these beauties of
Oregon are to be found, the Southern
Pacific Company is distributing free
a handsome booklet in calors called
"Oregon-Outdoors.'1
The publication is in folder form so
that it may be easily mailed to
friends in the East or carried about
in the. pocket The covers are in
llillltfl!ll!lllilli!lil!!l!!!!l!l!i:!!!liil!l!l!l!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIO
colors, printed in blue and red and
black. The text occupies forty-six
pages, illustrated by fifty-seven half
tone reproductions from photographs,
and supplemented by a map. The
rose which Oregon"has made famous
is featured in the decorative design.
Beginning at Portland, the reader
is carried around the Southern Pacif
ic Electric loop lines in the Willa-
mette Valley. .He visits the, heart of
the Cascades and is shown the at
tractions of the beaches at Tillamook,
Newport and Coos Bay. A wide
panel picture portrays Crater Lake.
The Josephine County Caves, named
by Joaquin Miller the "Marble Halls
of Oregon," are likewise given prom
inence. Throughout the booklet are sug
gestions for hunters and sportsmen
in general, hints as to where trout
abound and wild game are plentiful.
A digest of the fish and game laws
is added for the benefit of visitors
from other states.
II. D. Olson, local agent of the
Southern Pacific, has a supply of
these' folders, and will be glad to
give them to local people who may
desire to send them to eastern friends
interested in the attractions of the
Oregon country.
OREGON HENS LEAD
"College Bred'' Fowls Make Wonder
ful Record at Frisco Fair
The sixth report of the world egg-
laying contest at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition shows that the 0. A. C."
Leghorns led with 208 eggs and the
crosses were second with 188. The
Barred Rock -dropped back' one place
in the race.
For the term record at this, the
middle point of the race, the Canada
pen of Adams' White Wyandottes is
still in the lead with 773 eggs, while
the O. A. C. Leghorn1 are in second
place and have all but overhauled
their splendid competitors. Last
month the Leghorns were 47 eggs
behind their rivals, this month they
are but five behind. The 0. A. C.
crosses are third with 712 eggs, hav
ing advanced from fifth place last
month. The 0. A. C. Barred Rock
are now fifth in the term records
with C94.
There are 60 pens in the contest.
The lowest record is 127 eggs for
the six months, made by a San Fran
cisco flock. The 0. A. C. Leghorns
and crosses are now ahead of . any
other pens from the United States or
England.
The highest individual record is
that of the New York Leghorn with
111 eggs for six months. Two 0. A.
C. crosses are tied for second with
107 eggs each. The third highest
is an 0. A C. Leghorn with 105 eggs,
and another Oregon Leghorn is sixth
with 95 eggs.
ODD NAMES FOR CREEKS .
Iowans Turn to Familiar Things to
Find Titles for Streams
That Iowa is a farming state is
reflected in the names of many of
the , streams that flow through it.
First there is a Farm Creek, so that
Farmers Creek is not out of place;
then there is a Chicken Creek, a Duck
Creek, a Gsose Creek, a number of
Turkey creeks, as well as Pigeon
Creeks There are Fox, Hawk, and
Rat creeks to devour the domestic
animals and some Crow creeks,
while there is also a Fly Creek and
Mosquito Creek to worry the sum
mer boarders. Milk and Cold Water
creeks are present, likewise a Hog
Run and a Mud Creek, so that Bacon
Creek is not strange. It is fitting
that with a Bee Creek and a Bee
ranch there should also be a Honey
Creek. There are a couple of
Cherry creeks, a CraVapple Creek,
and plenty of Plum creeks, and for
wild animals we have Bear, Beaver,
SUSPENSION BRIDGE CORNER
Buck, Crane, Deer, Doe, Elk, Otter,
Panther, Raccoon, Skunk, and Wolf
creeks. With .a Keg Creek there is
a Whiskey Creek and a Whiskey Run
Finally there is a Purgatory Creek.
These names appear in a "Gaza
tteer of Surface Waters of Iowa," by
W. G. Hoyt and H. J. Ryan, just pub
lished by the United States Geolog
ical Survey as Water Supply Paper
345-1. This report may be obtained

WOMEN PLAN MEETING
Social and Civic Betterment to be
Discussed at Club Convention
Club women of Portland are bus
ily engaged completing the final ar

June 4th there will be an all-day
picnic at Multnomah Falls. The
steamer "Undine," famed as the flag
ship of The Dalles-Celilo celebration,
will carry three hundred or more to
the picnic place; and a like number
will go by train, returning by boat,
while those going by boat will make
the return trip by train, thus afford
ing all an opportunity to enjoy the
river trip and shore scenery one way,
and a view of the Columbia Highway
and other scenes from the line of the
railway.
One of the entertainment features
of the week will be a pageant, at the
Heilig Theater, "Every Woman's
Road," a morality play by Professor
Josephine Hammond, of Reed College,

nounced. Out of town delegates de
siring to make reservations for the
play may communicate with Mrs. J.
J. Frankel, Chairman Finance Com
mittee, 270-E 17th St., North, Port

for taking care of the two thousand
delegates expected. The reception
committee will have a delegation at
the railway stations awaiting all in
coming trains. Delegates are direct
ed first to -the White Temple, Cor
ner 12th and Taylor Street, to regis
ter and receive credentials.
TIME TO CUT HAY
"Cut hay in the' mornfng after the
dew is off and rake into windrows as
soon as the leaves are thoroughly
wilted. Legumes (clover, alfalfa,
etc.,) especially lose their leaves
readily and should be cured in wind
row and cocks and . not in the
swath. Two to three days in cocks
should cure clover hay enough for
the mow. Be sure all outside mois
ture (rain and dew) are off and lit
tle danger will be experienced in
mow burning, provided the crop was
cut at the proper stage. You can't
afford, to lose the leaves by swath
curing. They represent a large part
of the nutritive value of the hay."
These are the views of J. E. Lar
son, field crop Extension specialist
of the Oregon Agricultural College,
on the best time to cut hay.

TRY THIS ON YOUR HOG
If He is Sick and Will Not Take Medi
cine, Maybe This Will Help
In the live-stock and dairy de
partment of the current issue of
Farm and Fireside a contributor
tells of his difficulty in getting a
sick hog tj take the medicine that
was necessary. How he got out of
his difficulty is desoiibed in the fol
lowing extract taken from his ar
ticle: "A neighbor looked over the fence
and I appealed to him in despair. 'I
wish I knew,' said I, 'how to give a.
hog medicine against his will.'
'It's easy,' said the neighbor.
Fix up your medicine and bring an
old shoe.'
"He cut some slits in the toe of the
shoe, I held the hog and he stuckthe
shoe -in its mouth. Mr. '.Porker
squealed, chewed the shoe viciously,
and when the medicine was poured in
to it by my friend the hog swallowed
it as if he had been drinking from the
trough.
"In three days the hog was well,
and in three months he was $20 worth
of pork. A trick worth knowing if
one knows wjat ails the pig.''
WILL BE SHOWN AGAIN
Kenney Log-splitter to be Demon
strated at July 4th Celebration
F. E. Kenney, whose demonstra
tion of his log and cord-wood splitter
was one of the features of Booster
Day in the county seat last week, will
be in Oregon City for the Moose cele
bration on July 4, and will again dem
onstrate this wonderful labor-saving
device. Many who saw Mr. Kenney's
hydraulic machine last, week were
much impressed with its power and
the ease of its operation, and went
away from the demonstration deter
mined to give orders for one.
The machine needs but one man to
operate it, quickly and readily splits
heavy, weather-hardened logs; and
will with equal ease root out stumps
of even more than usual size. The
machine is invaluable- for clearing
land, and aside from its absolute
safety, will pay for itself in the cost
of powder that it saves. It should
be seen by all owners of raw land
and Iy farmers who cut their own
fuel.
SCHROEDER FINED
One of Group Arrested for Violating
Liquor Law Found Guilty
When Hans Schroeder, Herman
Mohnke, Carl Grossmiller and "Jer
ry" Sandergard were arraigned be
fore City Recorder Loder last week,
following their release on bail on the
charge of bringing liquor into the
county seat, all but Schroeder were
asquitted.' Schroeder was fined by
the recorder.
Carl Grossmiller was charged with
having endeavored to block Chief
Shaw's efforts to arrest the party
while they were in an automobile, but
this point was not pressed before the
court. Mr. Grossmiller called the
court's attention to the fact that
while it was alleged that six bottles
of beer were in the automobile, only
one was introduced as evidence.
PIONEER LAID AT REST
Well-known Rural Mail Carrier Pass
es Away After Years of Service
E. M. Waldron, who was born near
Oregon City 41 years ago, died at
his home last Saturday evening from
typhoid fever. Mr. Waldron was
one of the first rural carriers to work
out of the Oregon City post office,
and for seven years handled Rural
Route No. 1 with more than usual
satisfaction. As a mark of respect
and mourning the local post office
was closed Tuesday during the fun
eral, and members of the county seat
postal force attended the services in
a body. .
Mr. Waldron was the son of pio
neer Clackamas county parents, and
had a host of friends throughout the
county. He was a member of the
Oddfellows and Woodmen of the
World, both fraternal organizations
participating in the funeral rites
held over his body.
He is survived by Mrs. E. J. Wal
dron, his mother; and by his widow,
two children, and the following broth
ers: George W. and J. L. Waldron, of
Oregon City, and H. A. Waldron, of
Los Angeles; and five sisters, Ms.
M. E. Harrington, of Gladstone; Mrs.
Anna Sperry, of Linn county; Mrs.
Gay Waldron, of Los Angeles; Mrs.
Christania Barbur, of Oregon City,
and Mrs. Jessie Hyatt, of Willamette.
WHO PAYS THE PIPER?
Untrammelled "Oregon Voter" De
votes Issue to Jitneys and Rival
Once again the Courier is going to
give a free ad to C. C. Chapman and
his "Oregon Voter." We have at
hand number four of this glorious
publication, and we discover that
about 30 pages are devoted to roast
ing the jitney, half a page is de
voted to roasting the Portland "Spec
tator," and the balance is taken up
with political ads, quotations from
the Oregon City Enterprise, a page
ad for the "Voter," and some small
ads of assorted variety.
The price of this number is said
to be ten cents. Bill Strandbourg,
publicity agent for the P. R. L. & P.
Co., jives us much more entertain
ing anti-jitney news in his clever
little weekly "Watt's Watt" and we
don't have to pay anything for that.
Hence we wonder at C. C. C.'s temer
ity in charging ten cents fpr the
same sort of stuff, only weaker.
Regarding the "Spectator," we
have it on reasonably good authority
that the "Oregon Voter" is flaying
Mr Hume of the Spetcator largely
because a certain man who doesn't
like Mr. Hume put up some of the
funds with which the "Voter" was
started. Maybe these funds have
now run out, and that is why the anti-jitney
campaign is taken on so
strongly.
SIZING IT UP
Estacada Paper Solves Mystery of
Olds-Risley Trouble Recently
Among the Estacada visitors of
last Saturday, were County Commis
sioner Knight of Canby, C. W. Risley
and Ed Olds of Oak Grove.. Olds and
Risley were supposed to be at swords
points, judging from the articles
which have appeared from time to
time about the injunctions and road
troubles at the county seat, but if
they ever were on other than friend
ly terms, no sign of it was evident on
their visit here, but they are sure
good advertisers. (Estacada Pro

F. E. Williams, of Clackamas,

February 19, has recovered and is
