ELKS ARE READY TOv
PUT OVER BIG DRIVE
SALVATION ARMY FUND IS TO
BE RAISED IN DOUBLE
QUICK TIME
One Saturday night when the
swinging doors had ushered in'" & '
crowd of men bent on spending all
their hardly won wages by the time
they left in the morning, the propri
etor and his wife were busy and sil
ent behind the shiny top bar .with
professional taciturnity. " " 1 '
The doors swung gently open a
few minutes before midnight. Two
Salvation Army lassies in their uni
forms came in and began to offer the
"War Cry" to customers. The propri
etor and his wife appeared oblivious
of their presence. The ' customers
bought, laughed, put questions about
religion or sneerediccording to their
moods.
At length the visiiors turned to de
part. Then it was that the proprietor
leaned across the bar and spoke 'to
them. "How is Poppy getting on?",
he asked.
The face of the Girl with. the. Tam
bourine brightened, "Oh, she's fine,
she's quite changed. I wish you were
saved too," she added wistfully. '
The man turned toward the cash
register, a slow smile on his face.
"Here," he said,' holding out a paper
bill. "This is for the Army. .It is , be
cause it got Poppy saved. She was
the worst lot I have ever seen, and
I have seen a few. ..That's all..,-: No
thanks, you can pray for us, but not
here.,. Good night, good night." .A
The country will miss the tam
bourine, but it will also see to it
that the great idea bade of the tam
bourine grows and strengthens with
the passing years.
. (i i '
The drive for funds for the home
campaign of the Salvation ''Aiftny. will
start here next Monday. The" Elks of
Clackamas county . have guaranteed
the quota $8,250. No man or wom
an, who can afford to give something,
will refuse to give toward a fund for
the Salvation Army in the United
States, which organization asks for
money - with ' which to "carry on'
with their wonderful work at home,
They have servel well in Europe:
They have always hilden their "light
behind a buBhel," and no one can say
how much they have done for human
ity during the past half -century in
the tenement districts of the big cit
ies; in saving men and women, and
of the making of respectable citi
zens out of those who, wore "down,
but never out."

Support of Celebration
' 'Withdrawn ,

It was a stormy ' session at the
Live Wire meeting held Tuesday
noon in the Commercial club parlors.
Even after the members present par
took of a fine chicken dinner, topped
off
bv strawberry shortcake, they
seemed io be in somewhat of a peev
ish temperament. " Al. Price started
the ball rolling when he reported for
the. committee ,, appointed . ..to meet
wtith the Oregon City firemen and
arrange for a celebration here on the
Fourth. Mr. Price claimed that tne
firemen didn't know whether they
wanted a celebration or not, and he
nformed them on behalf of the Live
Wires to either get busy and decide,
or heln from the Wires would be
withdrawn. The firemen didn't de
cide, so "Al" , reported that .the cele
bration would not take place.
Next came G. B. Dimick, who ad
dressed the Wires on the subject of
roads. He claimed that the people
the western part of the county
were sore Because tne Moniwr
Barlow people had announced that
the road in that section would re
ceive the attention of , the county
court first, Mr, 'Dimick claimed that
the "Wires" Were responsible for the
report, and that the county court had
not promised that the Monitor-Barlow
road would be hard surfaced first
under the new market roads tax law
just enacted at the last election. On
behalf of the Wires, Dr. Morris re
plied that the organization wanted to
see all sections of the county treated
alike, but the Monitor-Barlow road
automatically came first under the
new law. '
Upon motion of L. A. Henderson,
the. Live Wires went on record favor
ing a road congress to be held fh this
city in the near future, and also favor
ing a good roads program for Clack
amas county. . J
The question of establishing a Y.
M. C. A., in Oregon City was discussed
by those present, and many opinions,
were advanced on the matter. Most
of the members favored erecting a
building for the Y. M. C. A., here, and
raising a large fund among the busi
ness interests and citizens of the
county for this purpose. C. Schuebel
claimed that in order to make the "Y"
a success in Oregon City, about $175
per month should be subscribed for
the maintenance of the institution.
A commitee composed of M. D. Lat-
ourette, chairman, A. C. Howland and
Dr. L. A. Morris was appointed to
investigate ways and means of financ
ing the proposition and report back
at the next regular meeting. It is
rumored that most of the business
and professional interests of the city
favor the "Y" building, and will sub
scribe freely toward the project. :
C' H. Dye was appointed a com
mittee of one to find a suitable place
for establishing a drinking fountain
for horses in the down town district,
The matter was brought to the atten
tion of the Wires by a communication
addressed to the organization from
several'farmers of the county. They
claim that everything was . provided
for, the automobile ' and .pedestrians
in the way of drinking fountains, but
that there was no place in the city
where a horse could secure a drink
Mr. E. G. Robinson, president of
the Canby Commercial club, and Mr.
Bair of the same place,' attended the
meeting, and invited the Wires ito
meet with the Canby club on next
Tuesday evening at Canby. Good
roads and other matters will be dis
cussed by both clubs, with the view
of cooperating with each other on
different projects in the county. Mr,
Kobmson also addressed the Wires
and claimed that , the Canby club'
wished to cooperate with the Oregon
City organization in every way pos
sible. He said that the Canby people
realized that Oregon ' City was the
gateway to the Willamette Valley, and
that good roads over the county meant
more revenue for Oregon City and,
anoy. .,
The Wires voted to attend the
meeting at Canby, and to hold their
regular luncheon in the evening in
stead or at noon, and ler.ve the club
at q:30.that evening for Canby,

OF OBNOXIOUS WEED
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Clackamas County
Farm Bureau held in this city last
Thursday afternoon, it was decided to

paigns on the Canadian thistle ever

mittee went on record favoring the
appointment of a special agent by

supervising the fight against the pest
here. The purpose of the agent will
be that of spending all of his time
in devising ways and means to best
fight the spreading of the weed, and
offering help to farmer? for its erad
ication. Besides the help of the

One of the most successful school
years in the history of the Oregon
City public schools closed last Tues
day evening, when a graduating class
from the high school numbered 58.
Although it was predicted that the
enrollment in the high school would
fall off . considerably on account of
the war, the average attendance for
the year Bbowed 25 more students
than lags year. Professor Kirk, who
has guided the destinies of the edu
cational system of the city, assisted
by, i capable teachers and a sound
board of directors, has more than sat
isfied the parents of the students and
those who are interested in educa
tional matters of the community.
On last Monday night, class day ex
ercises of the graduates were held in
the high school auditorium, as has
been the custom in (he past. At
these , exercises, the class presented
the board of directors with a mam
moth stone , bench, which will be
placed facing the Willamette river,
near the entrance to thi high school
building. Joseph E. Hedges, chair
man of the board of directors, being
present, was called upon to present to
the high school a fund of $50 sub
scribed by the members of the class
toward an initial fund for a gymna-
sium. Although , this amount of
money is small compared with the
cost of installing a gymnasium in the
high school, it will start the ball roll
ing toward the completion of the pro-
ect.
On Tuesday evening, in the high
school auditorium, the graduating ex,
ercises took place, and long before
the program commenced, the "Stand
ing Room Only" sign made its ap
pearance. rrolessor K.iric presided at
the ceremonies and diplomas were
presented to-the class by -Jos. E.
Hedges, chairman of the board of
directors. The auditorium was beau-
tifully decorated for the occasion, and
the numbers on the program were ex
cellent. All of the music for the
occasion was furnished by students
of the high school, no outside talent
having been engaged

TO RULING
Is your baggage wet or dry 1 ,
If it's wet, and you are traveling
through dry territory on an inter
state trip, state prohibition officers
have no right to search for the pres
ence of John Barleycorn. Patrons of
the United States Raih-oad adminis
tration were so informed last week
following a decision by the United
States supreme court of the United
States. '
The decision delivered by Chief
Justice White holds that interstate
passengers are entitled to pass
through a prohibition state with li
quor in their possession.
Railroad officials say they have
been embarassed by complaints pf
passengers' baggage being broken in
to and searched for liquor in cases
where through trains have stopped
at stations in dry territory.
The policy of the railroad admin
istration is set forth by General
Counsel John Barton Payne as fol
lows: ' ' '
"To protect passengers who are
traveling in good faith interstate and
to prevent the search or seizure of
their baggage; and, to prevent the
use of trains for bootlegging purpos
es and to prevent, definitely as pos
sible, the shipment of whisky under
the guise of baggage on the trains
either in the drawing room or else
where, and to prevent any collusion
between employes and bootleggers."

DO YOU KNOW
J TO
MISS BILES, DRESS EXPERT, TO
BE HERE NEXT WEEK;
WILL LECTURE
DEMONSTRATIONS TO BE GIVEN
Will Show How to Select Colors,
. . Materials, Etc, in Series
of Talks
Here is a chance for every woman,
young or old, of this county, to learn
something of a subject which wom
en have been interested in since the
days of Adam and Eve. ' Miss Jessie
Biles, instructor in domestic art,' will
arrive in Oregon City on next Mon
day morning, June 16, and will spend
an entire Week giving lectures over
Clackamas county on the subject of
dress. Meetings all over the coun
ty will be' held by Miss Biles, who
will assist the women of this com
munity with their problems.
It is a small saying, nevertheless
true, that all art is not in a frame.
A beautiful gown and beautiful cloth
es may be judged by the same laws
of art as a beautiful painting, a noble
statue, or a splendid building. Each
is a design, in which the relationship
of area, lines and color are consider
ed and their relationship to certain
laws. ' Ignorance concerning these
laws is unnecessary.
That the function of dress is not
limited to protection and mode'sty for
the wearer is very evident. Witness
the devotees of the Goddess of Fash
ion going about the streets on cold,
rainy days in thin silk stockings and
equally thin slippers. , Pity is wast
ed for the pretty young girl in im
mense White furs, sipping iced soda
in a stuffy booth on a hot day. Fash
ion knows no pain. , ,, .,
Probably there never has been a
better summary of an ideal of cor
rect dress than is the following:
"Right dress therefore is 'that which
is fit for its station in life and' the
work done in it, and which is other
wise graceful, becoming, lasting,
healthful and easy, on occasions
splendid, always beautiful as pos
sible.' " , , ,
With these problems in mind, with
these ideals before her, Miss Biles
is coming to Clackamas county to in
still in the women, that she may
come in contact with, the knowledge
of economical and correct dressing by
studying a combination of colors,
combination of materials, selection of
materials, with reference to design
and color. She hopes to help the
women make dress forms for them
selves so that they may profitably
alter their patterns, fit themselves,
and in the end, have satisfactory,
well made clothes. Any woman who
cares to attend her demonstrations
and meetings is very welcome, in
fact, urged to attend.
Miss Biles is coming to this coun
ty through the efforts of Marie An
thony, home demonstration agent,
who will assist her in the demonstra
tions and lectures to be given.

AUTOISTS ENJOY HIGHWAY
AND RIVER ROUTES SUNDAY
Hundreds o I automobiles came
through this city Sunday from Port

were on the road, here is an example,
Something went wrong with a ma
chine while crossing the Clackamas
bridge, and it became stalled on the
structure. In about five minutes.
over 25 cars were lined up on the
other side of the bridge, waiting to
cross. The Clackamas river route

JUDGING TEAMS TO
BE SELECTED SOON
BIG PICNIC AND CONTEST TO
BE HELD AT DIMICK
FARM JUNE 22
P. J. Fortner, of the O. A. C, has
been in Clackamas county during the
past week instructing the different
members of industrial clubs in live
stock judging. His purpose is to drill
a team made up from the different
clubs here to represent Clackamas
county in the live stock judging con
test, to be held at the state fair at
Salem this summer, and also at the
Pacific International live stock show
to be held in Portland November 15th.
At these contests, each county in
the state is asked to send two judg
ing teams, members of the teams to
be selected from the different indus
trial clubs in each county. They will
compete for prizes in the judging of
stock, and the winners will bring
prestige and honor to their respective
communities. ,
On Sunday, June 22, a picnic will
be held at the G. B. Dimick farm near .
Hubbard, when the boys of the clubs
in this county will receive first hand
information in judging animals, and
try out their knowledge on the sub
ject. Classes will be made up on this
day, and the methods of judging
sheep, cattle, dairy stock, and hogs
will be gone into by the boys. The
picnic is not limited to the boys of
industrial clubs alone, but "the gen
eral public is invited to attend the
picnic if interested. The. only pro
vision made is that each person at
tending the picnic bring a full lunch
basket. i
This will be the first gathering of
the material from which will be se
lected the two teams which will rep
resent this county. A large attend
ance is expected, at the Dimick farm
on this date. !"
MissfR. P. Snedeker, club leader,
has been working diligently and ef
ficiently in organizing the boys' and
girls' clubs over this county, at
last has been rewarded with a fast
growing enrollment in every com
munity. She is trying to secure the

MAN DRAGGED DOWN MAIN
STREET BY RUNAWAY HORSE
J. M. Hamilton and Mr. King, of
Logan, while leading two horses from
the rear end ; of a buggy on Main
street here Saturday afternoon, had
a narrow escape from being trampl
ed to death, when one of the horses
became frightened at an automobile.
Mr. Hamilton, who was leading one
of the animals, was dragged from
the buggy and thrown to the pave
ment, when the horse started to run.
He became entangled with the halter
rope, and the horse trampled him
terribly in trying to free itself from
the halter. Mr. Hamilton hung onto
the rope however, and when the ani
mal freed itself, started down Main
street on the run, dragging Mr. Ham
ilton over the pavement. Further
down the street, the horse was caught
by C. I. Stafford, who caught the
horse by the head, and held it until
Mr. Hamilton could free himself. To
keep the horse from plunging into
the crowd on Main street was the
reason Mr. Hamilton gave for hold
ing onto the halter rope. He was
severely cut about the face and
head, when the horse dragged him
on the pavement.
