The Hoard of Governors of 4 the Oregon City Commercial Cluli has appointed an Bdvisory committee of 10 members from among tho cmitrlbutors to the advertlKlng fund that has been subsrrlbed to boost Clackamas County. This committee will work In connection and In har- mony with tho members of the publicity committee of the com- inerclal club. It Is the Intra- Hon In making the appoint- menta that tht w.'l'lclty com- mlttee shall sii-k the opinion f and advice of the advisory committee before taking any action which would Involve the " expenditure of any considerable ' sum of money. The following r committee was named: C. H. Cuutleld. W. A. Huntley, E. A. - Sommer, Friinklin T. Grilllth, Joseph E. Hodges, Dunne C. Kly, Grant H. Diuilck, Hurvey E. Crows, William Andresen, James V. Campbell. ' . $ i"J' 4 f1 'J1 e j $$ laid out and to be completed at once contemplates the removal of the build ing to the Park on Center and eventh streets, placing of new sills entirely around the building nnd supporting the sunie on heavy timbers resting on concrete piers, reshlnglltig the entire roof, renewing cornice to correspond with original section still on the build ing, nil defentive bourds on the sid ing of tho building to be removed and new ones replaced, the space between the building and the grounds to be en closed, all the window spaces to be tilled with new sash, made to corres pond with the original sush now iu the bulliilng, and finally the entire building to have two coats of paint. This work will cost approximately $1. (W. all of which will be raised by private subscription, most of the money beli'g subscribed by people out side of the city. When these repairs are made the building will be iu good shape for permanent preservation nnd will not be in nny way unsightly. Some objections have been raised that tho building being located on this block might nt some time Interfere with a public building, should It be consid ered desirable to place one there. The site selected by the council com mittee had in view leaving plenty room for that purpose, but in case any future plan of (he city would prove that the building was an obstruction no objections would be raised to its removal of any other part of the block where it would not he In the way. The cure nnd maintenance of the building would bo provided for by the "McUmghlln Memorial Association," mid would not be a burden In any way on tho city. All wo ask of the city Is the privilege of using n Binall part of one of the many park blocks donnted to the city by Dr. John Mc Loughlin as the permanent locntiou for his old home. After the work de scribed Is accomplished only n be ginning has been made. It Is the In tention to at once organize an associ ation with members over the entire northwest coast nnd begin a system atic raising of funds to completely re store the Interior of the building to Its condition when occupied during the lust days of Dr. John McLoughlli While those engaged In this work are spending their money from a purely sentimental standpoint with a desire to preserve the building as a constant reminder to coming genera tions of the founder of our city, the Tho third annual rose show of the Clackamas County Hose Society, which will take place In Willamette Hull next Thursday and Friday, June 17 and 18, will unquestionably eclipse the shows of previous years.

The Palace of Oriental Exhibits forms one of the twelve mammoth dis play buildings first completed by the Alaska-Yukou-Paclfle Exposition IU lines are In pleasing contrast to the Agricultural and Manufacturer! buildings, with which they are grouped, and their position overlooks the beautiful formal 'gardens and water display of the Cascades and Geyser Basin. The exhibit placed within the walls of the Oriental building consti tutes one of the most gorgeous displays of Far Eastern art and manu factured articles ever shipped from the Orient, nnd is bewildering In beauty and extent. Not a country of Asia is without representation, and treasures of old and modern art, never before permitted to leavo the lands In which they, were created, will be seen for the first time In the laud of the Occident. The matter of arrangement of the Oriental exhibit has been placed in the hands of the'most competent and artistic men at command and its display will be worthy of the magnificent collection. About tho Oriental building are gathered the great buildings housing the United States exhibit and the Alaska, Hawaiian and Philippine dis plays. One of the largest bandstands Is within close distance, and from Its doors the most noted musical organizations ot the world will be heard dally, r In the second trial on the $2000 damage suit of John A. Howland, for mer County Treasurer Enos Cahlll, the fury Friday returned a verdict for Cahlll, who was represented by Attorney George C. Brownoll. Row land's attorneys r. ere C. I. and I). C. Latourette. Howland sued Cahlll for alleged damages to his stomach, caused by orinkln:,' frcui a bottle of formaldo ryde. About two years ago, while Cahlll was driving from Oregon City to his home near New Era, he met Howland and offered him a drink from a bottle (hat h' had In his pocket. Ca hlll supposed It was, whiskey, but got hold of a bottle of formaldehyde and Howland took a drink. Suit was instituted In the Circuit Court and the first trial was held last Fall, Cahlll obtaining the verdict Judge McBrlde granted Howland a new trial, which took place before Judge Campbell. The trial occupied nearly two days. The address of Attorney Browneil to the jury was a masterpiece and is receiving a great deal of favorable comment. The jurors were Walter Kirchem, Paul Dunn, William Beard W. E. Bonney. F. E. Mueller, A. W. Cooke, James Bell, F. J. Painter, D. C. Howell, William Shindler, O. P, Sharp and Michael Donahue. A motion for a new trial has been AM in the damage suit of Howland against Cahlll. Gifts for Milwaukie Teachers. Mrs. Mildred Ruegg Eisert, Miss Estella Niles and Miss Ella Casto were the recipients of gifts Friday from other teachers In the Milwaukie schools. These three teachers will not be in the corps next year. Miss Xlles and Miss Casto were given hand some china plate, and Emllie C. Shaw the principal, presented Mrs. Eisert with a beautiful Royal Dalton plate. The Milwaukie school year has closed after a very successful term. 7 VA1 If a 3 ' PROMOTER IS DISCOURAGED AT HIS RECEPTION BY LOCAL BU8INESS INTEREST8. MORE MONEY DESIRED People In Country Between Marquam and This Point Have Responded With Subscriptions That ' Total $30,000. Is Oregon City going to lose the Molalla Valley railroad? This li the question that Is agitat ing the minds of the business men of Oregon City and the farmer between the city and Marquam and the ques tion has arisen because ot the seem ing indifference upon the part of many of the professional and business men to the proposed line. F. M. Swift, who Is promoting the proposition, is becmoing discouraged over his failure to secure $25,000 In subscriptions to the road In Oregon City. He has so far obtained about $15,000, and Is Just about at the end of his rope. In the country leading out of Ore- ... fion City to Marquam JSO.000 has been subscribed by the farming com munity. The people in the country are very anxious to have an electric line constructed and are- willing to do almost anything in reason, realizing that their property will be greatly en hanced in value after the line Is In operation. About a month ago when Mr. Swift commenced to solicit sub scriptions here there was. little doubt of his being able to raise $25,000 In Oregon City, but the enthusiasm that was born of his approach, was evi dently short lived. Swift announced at a meeting held Tuesday night in the Commercial club rooms that If he could not get more encouragement In this city, he would have to go to Canby, where he had been made liberal offers to make the. road come in that direction. How much of this Is bluff and how muz'x reality only time will tell. There Is no doubt that the Canby people are anxious to have the line come their -way, but whether or not this Is a de sirable route Is another matter. The grade down through the Molalla Val ley leads naturally Into Oregon City and the engineers say this Is the most feasible way of construction The Idea has been advanced that the line may come down Milk Creek and cross the river to WHsonville, but right here It would enter Into competi tion with the Oregon Electric and this plan is hardly worthy of consideration as the route Into Oregon City would ward off competition. Fred Schaffer, who operates a large sawmill at Canby, has told Swift that Cauby Is by all means the place to go If money cannot be raised here. Mr. SchafTer may be talking for him self, or he may be for the people of Molalla, who, having done their part, believe that the business men of Ore gon City should meet them half way, and there is certainly reason in their argument. Mr. Swift has set out to raise $100, 000 by subscription. He already has nearly this amount pledged and he has practically all his right of way to . Molalla. He proposes to Interest Eastern capital and build an electric line from Oregon City to Silverton, running through Beaver Creek, High land, Mullno and Liberal, Molalla, Marquam and Scotts Mills, tapping all of the principal points en route. , He states that he does not expect to experience difficulty in financing the road. It was the original idea ot Swift to come into Oregon City through the Abernethy canyon, where a grade of iVi per cent can be obtained. Through the intervention of the residents of Mount Pleasant and Ely these plans have been altered to bring the road through chese sections across the Latourette bridge over Newell Creek and into the city along Sixth street to Center street, on Center to Elev enth and on Eleventh to John AdamB street to lireen Point. This will give about three per cent grade, which is not too heavy for an electric line. If the freight traffic of the road be comes heavy, a branch could easily be constructed down the Abernethy to handle the bulk of the freight bus iness. The people of Oregon City are not asked to pay one cent ot their re spective subscriptions until the road is completed and In operation 10 miles from the city, then one-half of the amount pledged becomes due. The remaining half is payable when tho road Is in operation 20 miles out from Oregon City. County Judge Grant Dimlck, who Is active In the promo- Hon of the railroad scheme, presided at Tuesday night's' meting, 'and George Randall, W. M. Smith, Ed Gottberg and others volunteered to assist Mr. Swift In securing additional funds in this city. TWO JURYMEN TRY CASE. 0. S. Boyles and John Bradley Do Work of Twelve Men Two jurymen tried a case in the Circuit Court Friday. The suit was instituted by Isaac S. Miller against Oscar and Roslna Mahler for the pay ment of a promissory note. The de fendants filed an answer but mado no further appearance In the case and O. S. Boyles and John Bradley were drawn as Jurors to hear the evi dence for Miller. Boyles was elected foreman by Bradley, and a verdict for $258.70 was brought In. The pro ceeding, while very tinsual, was per fectly regular. Grant B. Dimick ai- peared for Miller.
