Investigation of the flax acreage
late last week by members of the
State Board of control, Robert Craw
ford, the state's new flax expert, and
J. W. Minto, superintendent of the
Oregon penitentiary, developed the

BILLY SUNDAY HEARD
. Petitions will be placed in circula
tion at Roseburg within the next few
days, asking the federal government
to spare the only tree now on Cass
street. The tree is located directly
in front of the site for the new fed
eral building, and will be cut down
unless the government officials grant
the request of the women who are
sponsor for the move to have the "or
nament" preserved. The contractor
in charge of erecting the building has
promised the women to delay cutting
the tree down until word can be re
ceived from Washington.
Definite announcement was made
this week of two important building
projects on two corners of Main and
west First streets. S. D. Keltner has
received plans for his new two story
hardware store, to be erected on the
southeast corner, which he has used
for implements. The Wallowa Nat
ional bank is advertising for bids to
remodel and enlarge its two story
banking property at the northeast
corner. Both these1 building projects
have been under consideration for
some months. Enterprise Chieftain.

will become the permanent property
of the school. The school at Spanish
Gulch, in Wheeler county, was model
ed by two girls who had taught in it.
The Deep Creek school, in Columbia
county, and the Marmot, the first
school in Clackamas county, also were
shown.

County Delegation Gets Idea of Work
of Famous Evangelist
i'Billy" Sunday, the best advertis
ed and highest paid evangelist in the
business of saving souls some say
for profit only entertained 8000
people in Portland on Tuesday night,
among whom there were a consider
able number of Clackamas county and
county seat people.
They returned fully convinced that
the proverbial Sunday fire and ora
tory are all that they have been claim
ed, and were immensely pleased with
the hard working style of the speaker.
Sunday, they say, really labors at his
work. He took off his coat midway in
his tirade against the demon rum on
Tuesday evening, and hammered his
facts home with an admirable vocabu
lary of coloquial slang.
A few Sundayisms and less famil
iar remarks made by Billy Sunday on
Tuesday evening and those which es
pecially impressed Oregon City folks
in his great audience are given here:
"I challenge you to show me any
community where a saloon license pol
icy has lightened taxes."
"The saloon is the sum of all vil
Ianies, the crime of crimes, the mother
of sins."
"To know what the devil will do
find out what the saloon will do."
"You could build six Panama can
als with one year's drink bill for this
nation."
"If there ever was a jubilee in hell
it was when lager beer was invented."
"The saloon is a liar. It promises
good cheer and sends sorrow. It is an
infidel. Having no faith in God or
religion, it would close every church in
the land."
"Severity-five per cent of. our idiots
come from intemperate parents; and
there are more insane people in the
United States thans tudents in the
universities and colleges".
"Ninety-nine per cent of adult
criminals are drinking men, and com
mitted their crimes while under the in
fluence of drink."
"We have 218,000 saloons in Amer
ica. Allowing 100 feet frontage to
each, it would make a street from New
York to Denver. Five millions people
go into these saloons daily. March
ing twenty miles , a day, it would take
30 days to pass a given point. Five
abreast, they would stretch 590 miles.
Oregon will never be safe until Amer
ica is dry."
A GOOD FRIEND
A good friend stands by you when
in need. Oregon City people tell how
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test. Mrs. Baxter, Oregon City, en
dorsed Doan's over three years ago
and again confirms the story. Could
you ask for more convincing testi
mony ?
On April 17, 1916, Mrs. Baxter
said: "Doan's Kidney Pills permanent
ly cured me of kidney trouble and my
back is as strong as ever.
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Baxter has twice publicly recom

Four Hundred Enjoy Rare Hospitality
at Ashland and Medford
The great beauty of the wonderful
Crater Lake and the national park
surrounding, the unusual hospitality
of the citizens of Medford and Ash
land and the value from a profession
al standpoint of-the state editorial
convention, vie in the minds of scores
of editors and their families who at
tended the convention at Medford last
week, for first place on the honor roll.
The convention was a rare success
and the program of professional mat
ters taken up by the editors, with E.
E. Brodie of Oregon Ctiy presiding,
was excellent. The speeches of the
writers were of a high order and the
good that will result from this in
struction and discussion is bound to
be felt by all who attended the con
vention. A great amount of praise is to be
given to the citizens of Medford and
Ashland for the high order of tha en
tertainment that was provided for the
guests, numbering more than 400 and
including the wives and families of
many of the scribes. Medford was
the official home of the convention and
the details of the progrsfm in the
hands of Medford citizens were very
capably carried out by Ben Sheldon of
the southern Oregon metropolis. Mr.
Sheldon proved himself to be a tire
less worker and to his efforts is attri
buted much of the pleasure that was
derived from the interesting trips.
Ashland, with it's magnificent Lith
ia park, was also host to the editors
on Friday, after an interesting trip
over the Siskiyou highway. The tone
of hospitality pervaded the entire per
iod of the convention and the two cit
ies literally outdid themselves to make
the convention a record breaker. An
open air banquet at Lithia park was a
feature of the trip to Ashland and an
address of welcome was made by the
chief executive of the city.
On Saturday the business session
of .the convention was held, and
speeches were made on various pro
fessional subjects by editors from all
parts of the state and from Washing
ton. E. E. Brodie presided at the
business meeting and very capably re
sponded to the address of welcome
made by Medford's mayor. On Sat
urday evening a grand banquet was
indulged in at the Medford hotel,
where addresses were made by Pres
ident Brodie, Phil Bates, Will G
Steel, superintendent of Crater Lake
park, Rev. T. B. Ford, formerly of
Oregon City, Wallace B. Jessup, pres-;
ident of the Washington State Editor
ial association and others.
The whole expense of the conven
tion after arrival at Medford, includ
ing lodging and travel, was born by
the citizens of Medford and they pro
vided automobiles in which the trip
was made to the beautiful Crater
Lake. C. W. Robey, editor of the
Courier, and Mrs. Robey were provid
ed with a Ford all their own in which
the editor "engineered" over the pret
ty highways to southern Oregon's
scenic wonder, the Crater lake.
The trip to the lake was started
early Sunday morning and the 400
guests at the convention remained ov
er night at the hotel on the rim of the
lake. All are of the opinion that in
Crater Lake Oregon has one of the
world's most wonderful scenic charms,
and the editors and their families lis
tened intently to the romantic story
of it s second discovery and it s recla
mation by Will G. Steel, present sup
erintendent of the park. Mr. Steel
is devoting his life to the Crater lake
park work merely because of his love
for the spot. He is aging, but his
love of this particular piece of nat
ure's work keeps his, love steadfast
and his story of his part in the crea
tion of the park was highly interest
ing to the editors who gathered about
the fireplace on Sunday evening near
the edge cf the great crater whose
scenic charms have been heralded to
all the world. Steel's part in the
convention was no small one and he
did much to help make the trip to the
lake a pleasant one.
E. E. Brodie, president of the Ore
gon Editorial association, and Phil S.
Bates, secretary, are entitled to much
credit for the interest they aroused in
the convention and for the success of
it's meeting in Medford. A genuine
vote of thaks is due the citizens of
Medford and Ashland from the press
of the state for the entertainment
that was provided and for the excel
lent spirit of hospitality that was dis
played. Those who attended the convention
from Clackamas county were: Mr. and
Mrs. G. II. Taylor, Molalla; Mr. and
Mrs. R. M. Standish, Estacada; Mr.
and Mrs. E. E. Brodie, Mr. and Mrs.'
C. W. Robey, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A.
Harding, Miss Eva Alldredge and J.
David Olson of Oregon City. Mr.
Brodie and Mr. Taylor were the ora
torical spokesmen of the press of this
county.
MARKET IS FAIR
Prices of Stockyards Show Weakness
Over Last Week
Reports from the union stockyards
of Portland indicate that cattle re
receipts were very fair for the week,
but that prices showed somewhat of a
decline over last week all along the
line. Cows ranged round the $4.50
to $5 mark for hte best and steers
were $6.50 to $7.10 for the choicest
grass stuff.
The hog market got started early
and $9.75 was reached, both for top
and bulk offerings. The receipts
were very light the lightest of the
season; and buyers were eager for all
that arrived. All classes got in on
the high spot from light to heavies.
There has been no change in the
sheep situation within the past week.
Offerings this week have been only
moderate, with prices remaining
steadily at the approximate quotations
of last week. '

DIVORCES ARE FEW
Conjugal Relations Appear More Bear
able Than For Some Time
The sea of matrimony, usually tur
bulent in this county, has been struck
by a calm and the good ship of mar
ried life sails more contentedly than
for some months. This is largely due,
perhaps, to the absence of Commander-in-Chief
and First Mate Judge J.
U. Campbell, who returned only a few
days ago from his vacation and who
absented himseif from the judicial
chamber again this week for a brief
period. However, only two com
plaints were filed up to last exening.
With two grown daughters, one
eighteen and the other seventeen
years of age, the latter about to em
bark for herself upon the big voyage
of life with it's pretty pictures of
love and happiness, Lewis D. Gilder
and Mary Gilder have torn the young
lady's dreams most rudely by starting
a divorce action. The husband sues
in this case, charging cruelty and de
sertion. The couple was married at
Hiawatha, Kan., on January 13, 1897.
The complaint was filed on Monday.
Cruelty and even brutality are the
causes Mrs. Clara F. Boyer uses to
base her complaint for divorce from
Granville F. Boyer, to whom she was
married at Currinsville, Clackamas
county, on April 5, 1905. The Boyers
have a seven year old boy and the
mother, seeks the custody of this off
spring. The matrimonial bark struck the
rock of 'separation, one of the most
terrible of the handicaps to smooth
sailing upon the high sea, in the case
of two couples this week.
Thomas F. Stillwell was granted a
decree divorcing him from Margaret
J. Stillwell. Judge Campbell ordered
the decree entered on the ground of
default.
Katherine McMaster Mason is a-
gain enjoying single blessedness as a
result of a default decree granted on
Monday divorcing her from Landon
R. Mason. Mr. Mason was served
with the court summons in the case
while at New Zealand hospital, Wal-ton-on-Thames,
England.

NEAV BEACH OPENS
In 1912 as in 1S12 the American
people and American principles won,
and the result in both cases has been
progress and prosperity.
Columbia River Resort Proves Popu
lar from First Day
The new bathing resort right at
Portland's gates, practically unknown
to the city's pleasure-seekers a year
ago, without a cent in improvements,
sprang into such immediate favor
late in the 1915 season that for a num
ber of weeks it proved the strongest
drawing-card of all the recreation re
sorts in this section.
This season the management has
expended in the neighborhood of
$15,000 in improving the grounds, in
buildings and in providing play and
amusement features, beside installing
all forms of modern loonvemences for
the bathing population. The whole
of Sand island on which Columbia
beach proper is situated, has been
groomed and "spruced up" so that it
will hardly be recognized as the same
place by those who visited it a year
ago.
One of the most important addit
ions is the ereat causeway. 650 feet
long, connecting the' railway trestle
with the beach grounds. The cause
way has a spacious board walk for
pedestrians and a driveway ofr all
forms of vehicular traffic. Winding
paths and drives lead to all parts of
the island, the bathing beach, the
amusement zone, the athletic field
and the "tent city," all of which are
among the attractions installed this
year. Columbia beach is on the Van
couver carline on the Oregon side of
the Columbia river.
