8 OREGON .CITY CD.URlER,, OREGpN CtTY, OREGON, tRUR&W. JUNE 36, ,117 CLOVER SHOULD BE CUT NOW TO AVOID MIDGE "We would advise that the clover be ut now in the fields where it is desired to produce a seed crop," writes Mr. C. W. Creel, scientific en tomological assistant of the U. S. D. A. in a recent communication to Pro fessor Lovett, entomologist at 0. A. C. Observations in the field have been made at various points in Lane, Benton, Linn, Clackamas, Washing ton, Polk and Yamhill counties by the government experts. "The brood of the seed midge is much later than usual," he continues, "but for best results the clover should be cut now. We find that the aphis also is not so bad on clover cut earlier aijd the pos sibility ot rains later which might de lay the cutting beyond the midge. free date makes it advisable to cut at this time." Those desiring more complete data on the midge should write to 0. A. C. for the bulletin No. 203 on Clover Seed Pests. for the club and he invited the people to make the building their headquar ters. C. W. Robey said a committee of which he is a member is working to have the stores closed on Oregon City Day, Friday, July 13th. RED CROSS GIVEN CAPITA $1.50 PER (Continued from page 1) WIRES PLEASED AT ESTACADA MEETING (Continued from page 1) Fallsarians because his wife made a dress for their little girl out of his marching suit. W. A. Huntley, of the Huntley Drug company, reported for the com mittee on Red Cross work. He said that the quota for Clackamas county, which was thought to have been $15, 000, was placed at $10,000, the for mer figure being incorrect. Nearly $12,500 had been collected when Mr. Huntley made his report and he said the contributions in Oregon City would total over $7,200 or about $1.50 per capita, which is higher than that reported at Portland. These figures do not include the big donation of the Crown-Willamette company which is accredited to San Francisco. C. Schuebel explained the purpos es of his committee, which was ap pointed to urge the city council to trade separate pieces of city property for a tract of 13 acres at the south end of the city for a park site. Gilbert Hedges, district attorney of Clackamas county, said that in any community there is to be found two spirits; the spirit of optimism and the spirit of pessimism. He said that the men with the spirit of optimism were the leaders who were ever work ing upward and forward. "In the garden of Eden, two peo ple were of the same mind," said Mr. Hedges, "and they wanted to eat an apple, thereby losing their happy nome. "It is the spirit of optimism, of ever looking forward and ever work ing upward that must combat the spirit of pessimism and through the former, not only do the men holding the spirit progress but the communi ties in which they live expand and be come important centers just so far as the spirit is dominant." Mr. Hedges predicted that the op timists of Estacada and of Oregon City and of the rest of Clackamas county while perhaps differing in methods were aiming at the same goal, that of accomplishing the most for the communities in which they lived, but he said it was necessary that all of them cooperate toward helping each other attain their aims and in so doing they would accomp lish the greatest good for all of them. 11. A. Cross, "daddy of the Glad stone Chautauqua," told of teaching scnooi in Estacada m 1874. He ap pealed for a closer friendship and better understanding of the people of uacKamas county. Mr. Cross sa d he was born in this county and that ne believed it was the "grandest spot on earth." Thomas A. Burke, secrcary of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua asso ciation, called the Chautauqua "the greatest show on earth" and extend ed a hearty invitation to the people of Estacada to come to the big edu cational gathering. His remarks were greeted with a spontaneous round of applause and several of the diners took advantage of his offer to send them literature concerning the Chautauqua by giving him their names. G. F. Johnson, secretary of the publicity department of the Oregon City Commercial dub, said that a building on the Chautauqua grounds had been selected as headquarters $82.50; Dist. 52, $53.75; Dist. 78 (par tial), $13.50; Dist. 84, Mulino, $83.70; Dist. 94, $50.10; Dist. 107, $36.70; Dist. 121, $25; Dists. 34 and 105 (par- tial), $500; Dist. 1, Milwaukie, $300. 75; Dist." 87, $3. In some of the districts the amounts reported yesterday were in creased. They are Dist. 3, Canemah, $55.02; Dist. 4, Logan, $67.50; Dist. 28, Concord, $117.10; Dist. 46, Sandy, $344.50. As a reminder of "Mercy Monday" and the close of the campaign, three members of Meade Post, G. A. R., drum corps played patriotic airs in front of the Red Cross headquarters near the depot on Seventh street. Several hundred dollars wore collect ed at the headquarters from people passing to and from the depot and city elevator. The committee composed of L. Ad ams, of the Adams Department store, Adolph Jacobs, president of the Ore gon City Manufacturing . company, and Willard P. Hawley, Jr., manager of the Hawley Pulp & Paper com pany, collected the largest amount of any of the committees in Oregon City, These men devoted the entire day Monday to calling on the people of their district, and turned in approx imately $5,000 last night. Dissatisfied with the rate at which local subscriptions to the Red Cross fund were coming in, the officers of the Hawley Pulp & Paper companv and the Oregon City Manufacturing company doubled their subscriptions of $500 each Thursday, making their combined contribution $2,000 and greatly encouraging the committees in charge of the work in Oregon City. One family was discovered here in need themselves, but one of the small children offered to give five cents, the only money in the house. Miss Margaret Buck, an employe of the Oregon City Manufacturing company, turned her bonus check over to A. R. Jacobs, president of the company, who has been active in Red Cross work. The employes of the mills were not solicited because there was a house to house canvass made and the homes of the employes were visited. to Portland, where she has a position.
