EXHIBIT IS GROWING
BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIRTUALLY
DECIDES TO SEND IT TO
FAIR.
The Iloard of Directors of the Ore
go.n City schools met Monday to con
sider applications- to place on exhibi
tion at the State Fair and Clackamas
County Fair the work of the school
children snown at the Welnhard build
ing Friday and Saturday. While no
derision was reached, it is almost cer
tain that the Clackamas County Fair
will get the exhibit and It is probable
that it will be cine of the features of
the State Fair.
There Is still a demand that the ex
hibit be opened to the public for at
lenst one day more before it is moved
from the Welnhard building, but this
will hardly be granted. The public
was amazed at the excellence of the
work, and It Is the general opinion
that Orccon City stands with the lead
ing cities of the country In educational
facilities. Superintendent Tooze was
authorized by the directors to have
the exhibit carefully put away for fu
ture display.
More than 100 teachers attended the
Clackamas County Institute Tield In
Oregon City Saturday. The Institute
was convened at 10 o'clock In the
morning and from that time until
night everybody was busy. Probably
the most Important feature of the
meeting was the discussion following
the reading of a paper on "What
Women's Clubs and kindred organiza
tions caff do for the Public Schools"
by Mrs. W. A. White.
Mrs. White's paper covered every
phase of the theme. She pointed out
how women's clubs had aided the
schools and said that even more could
be done by them. After the paper had
been read several teachers told what
had been done for the schools in
which they teach by Women's Clubs.
Among them were teachers from Os
wego, Mllwaukie and Gladstone. The
clubs have furnished pictures for the
walls of the school rooms, aided In
beautifying Bchool grounds, calclmined
rooms, had flowers planted, etc. The
women's club In Oswego furnished a
drinking fountain for the children.
-Several of the clubs have also provid
ed books for the school libraries.
One of the features of the meeting
wag the sumptuous luncheon provided
the visitors at Woodmen Hall by the
Oregon City Woman's Club. More than
100 persons sat dovn to the luncheon
and it was the unanimous verdict that
the spread was unusually fine. The
visiting teachers were the guests of
the Oregon City teachers, and, In be
half of them Superintendent of City
Schools Tooze extended the following
card of thanks to the Woman's Club:
"In behalf of the Oregon City teach
era J desire to thank the woman s
Club for Its splendid Interest and cour
tesy shown the teachers of Oregon
City in the assistance rendered In pro
viding the magnificent luncheon
served our guests, the Clackamas
County teachers, attending the insti
tute today.
"FRED S. J. TOOZE,
"Superintendent Schools."
County Superintendent T. J. Gary.
who arranged the institute, was com
pllmented by many upon tho success
of the meeting.
The address of Dr. G. A. Patterson,
Dean of Willamette I'nlverslty, was
one of - the features of the meeting.
Dr. Patterson spoke of the splendid
work that is being done by the schools
nnd gave some interesting and in
structive suggestions to the teachers.
Others who made Interesting ad
dresses or read papers were John R.
Sievers, "The Playground;" P. L.
Coleman, "Teaching Writing in' the
Schools," and J, E. Calavan, -School
Management."
Gladstone Man Sent to Asylum.
E. E. Lowe, aged 21 years, of Glad

TO
HAVE FAIR EXHIBIT
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMEENTS
ARE TO BE WELL
REPRESENTED.
One of the best farming districts of
Clackamas county will be represented
at the Fifth Annual Clackamas County
Fair, by a large district display under
the auspices of the Harding Grange
of Logan.
Harding Grange has never exhibit
ed at the Fair, but the people of htis
section are r.oted for their enterpris
ing spirit and considering the resour
ces they have In the way of good
farmers on good farms, It Is predicted
that the first prize is not out of
their reach.
It is very gratifying to the manage
ment to have the granges of the
county take so much Interest in the
Fair. The secretary states that last
year at this time, virtually no space
In the pavilion had been reserved
and that already this year the space
Is well taken. The prospects are
bright for a Blue Ribbon Fair and

William Beard To Visit Middle North
west In Interest of Oregon
City and Clackamas
County.
Work will be started today on the
promotion building of the Commercial
Club, which will be located on Main
street opposite the courthouse. It is
the intention to rush the work as
much as possible, and it is expected
that the building will be ready for
use in about thirty days. Samples of
the products of Clackamas County
and the various articles manufactured
in the city will be shown In the build
ing. The Willamette Paper Mill and the
Oregon City Manufacturing Company
have agreed to have exhibits In the
building. The tatter's exhibit will
show every process through which,
wool goes from the time it is brought
to the factory until the finished article
is ready for the market. The display
of the paper mills also will show the
various stages of manufacture.
William Beard, a large property
owner of Oregon City, will leave the
latter part of the week on a trip in
the Interest of Oregon City and Clack
amas County. Mr. Beard will go to
Wisconsin, and probably other states
In the middle northwest. He will
take with him a large quantity of liter
ature published by the Commercial
Club and w ill do all he can to attract
homeseekers to Clackamas County.
While the trip primarily Is to be
for pleasure, persons who know Mr.
Beard realize that he will do a great
deal of work in the Interest of the city
and county. In fact friends of Mr
Beard sav that he derives more
pleasure from booming his own city
and county than probably anything
else.

SANDY, Or., May 16. (special)
Sandy probably will be the next
Clackamas County town to Incorpor
ate. A representative of tho 8andy
Commercial Club went to Oregon City
Tuesday to Interview an attorney rela
tlve to the procedure to be followed.
It Is probable that petitions asking
for the incorporation of Sandy will be
presented to the County Court within
a few montlfs.
Up to one year ago there was no ur
gent demand for the- incorporation of
Sandy. But for several months the
town has actually been beyond the
control of the authorities. The con
stable, while a very efficient officer,
lives three miles from the town. There
are now three saloons in Sandy and
scores of men come Into the city from
the camps of the Mount Hood Rail
way Company and pr.ictically take
possession.
One afternoon, about two weeks ago
a party of men came Into Sandy and
for several hours they had the place
by the ears. Sandy and everything
n It was theirs. It Is said that a
number of deputies were appointed to
quell the Incipient riot, but they were
powerless and finally became engaged
in a free for all fight with some of the
disturbers, the result being that two
or three of the deputies' were arrested
for breaking the laws they were sworn
to uphold.
There are plenty of law abiding
people In Sandy who are anxious to
bring order out of chaos. They havo
no wish to see their streets turned
into a brawling place, and no doubt
the County Court will give respectful
attention to their petition when it
comes in. Sandy has grown remark
ably fast during the last year. There
are many people passing through the
place bound for the Mount Hood re
sorts and many of them stop for rest
and refreshment in Sandy and are en
titled to whatever protection the town
can afford.
Sandy is an old town, but It has a
lot of vigorous young blood, and Is
becoming a live wire in Eastern Clackamas.
GIRLS' BAND TO PLAY
AT
OAK GROVE ORGANIZATION WON
FAVOR AT BOOSTER
CELEBRATION.
The Oak Grove Girls' Band made
such a favorable impression In Oregon
City on Booster Day, M. J. Lazelle,
secretary of the Clackamas County
Fair Association has engaged the or
ganization to furnish the music at the
County Fair to be held in September.
Although orcanlzed on.y about a year
ago, the band has become a favorite
with Clackamas County residents and
has played on several occasions in
Portland. The band Joined in the
Booster Day parade in this city and
was one of the chief attractions of
the festivities. The personnel of the
organization is as follows:
Ada Starkweather. Edith Griffith
Ethel Bighar.i. Ruth Wilkins.
Arrangements were virtually com
pleted Wednesday ny the Willamette
Valley Chautauqua Assembly for the
Chautauqua to be given at Gladstone,
beginning on July 4 and lasting
through July 16. The assembly de
cided upon an old fashion celebration
of the Fourth. There will be sack
races, climbing of a greased pole, ora
tions, etc. It is also the intention to
have two ball games on that day. The
teachers of the Clackamas Counly
schools will probably issue a challenge
to the law yers of the county, and there
is no doubt about the lawyers accept
ing, for besides the young blood, there
are a number of lawyers in the county
who played ball in the old days, and
still know how to play the game.
The Athletic Committee of the as
sembly will prepare schedule of games
to be played in a few days. It is the
intention to have a game each day,
and five teams will play each other
four times. The winner will be award
ed a prize.
Superintendent of County Schools
Gary, who is secretary of the assem
bly, has arranged to have Ex-Governor
Yates, of Illinois, deliver the Fourth
of July oration. Gabriel R. McGuire,
the noted lecturer of Cleveland, will
lecture duking the Chautauqua on,
"With An Irishman Through Darkest
Africa."
Many other features also will be
provided for the Chautauqua and the
indications are that it will be the most
successful ever held. The big audi
torium at Gladstone has been engaged
for the occasion. J. E. Hedges, C.
Schuebel and O. D. Eby compose the
Athletic Committee.
ADVERTISING NOT REQUIRED
Railroads Need- Not Publish Tims
Table In Papers.
SALEM, Or., May 12. (Special
In answer to a request for an oplnlm
as to whether the Railroad Commis
sion has the authority to compel rail
road companies in this state to pub
lish time tables In circulating news
papers. Attorney-General Crawford
holds that there are no laws in effect
requiring such publicity, and in his
opinion the Railroad Commission la
not authorized to demand a publica
tion of time tables, even If should
find that the varions railroad com
panies operating in the state were
negligent in posting the hours of. de
parture and arrival of trains at the
respective stations. '
The Commission asks for the opin
ion for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not railroads could be re
quired to advertise train operations
in the event they failed and refused
to Dost notices in their passenger
stations. The Attorney-General be
lieves that to require railroad com
panies to advertise time tables :n
newspapers would result In news
papers charging any rate they desired,
and thus work a hardship on the
transportation companies without
giving them an opportunity to re
monstrate unless they go to law.
