The Garfield band surprised even Its
most ardent admirers by the class of
music It furnished for the three
days. This band was organized from
the rawest muterlal possible, a year
ago last June, Its members comprising
the furmor boy of that locality, and,
with but two exceptions, none of the
boys had ever had a musical Instru
ment in their hands. Under the direc

boys are developing Into good players,
and their efforts for the throe days
were thoroughly appreciated by the
friends and supporter of the East
Clackamas County fair.

SUNDAY CLOSING LAW

EUGENE CIGAR MAN LOSES CASE
CARRIED TO THE SUPREME
COURT OF STATE.
8AI.EM, Ore., Sept. 14. The su
preme court today held that soctlon
2125, Lord's Oregon Iaws, which
makes It unlawful for any person to
keep open any store, altnp, grocery,
bowling alley, billiard room or tippl
ing house for the purpose, of traffic
on Sunday, and exempts theatres,
keepers of drug, stores, doctor shops,
undertakers, 1 1 very stable keepers,
butchers and bankers, la constitution
al, and that tho classification Is rea
sonable and the legislation is a prop
er exorcise of police power.
The decision was made In the case
of the state against I-elgh E. Nicholls,
owner of the Club cigar store at Eu
gene, who sold cigars, tobacco and
candy to D. A. Elklns on Sunday Oc
tober 18, 1914.
NicbollB was convicted In Justice
court and appealed to the circuit court
where Judge Robert G. Morrow sus
tained a demurrer to the complaint.
The opinion today was written by Jus
tice Iiurnott.
The defendant's attack on the
statute was based upon the proviso
extemptlng several occupations, the
essence of his contention being that
this amounts to an unreasonable dis
crimination, so that the law does no
affect alike all persons similarly sit
uated. The supreme court finds that a good
reason for thla exemption may be
found In tbe fact that the occupations
enumerated aa exempted, except the

ducive to rest and relaxation.
DISTRICT HUES
DRAWN UPON THE
CPRIHCIPII
JUDGI ANDERSON BCLICVIS DC
CIDED CHANGES WILL COME
WITHIN FEW YEANS.
SUPERVISOR SHOlflD BE CIV1N
CONTROL OF ROAD. NOT SECTION
CommlMlnra Stt Day te Dibat Nw
BeundarU Mttn Said to Fa
vor Fwr DKt'lct But Stand
f Smith la Net Known.
County Judg Anderson favor a re
duction In th number of rc-ad dis
trict. AIm, h txllevM that th present
district line ar drawn up the wrong
principle; that rhangea In the method
of forming districts ar aur to rome
and that a fw rhangea will probably
be made at a pecltil alttlng of tbe
court Keptrtnber IS. when the matter
ill tie taken up. Tbla he declared
Monday afternoon.
Judge Anderson believe that In
deed of being section arliltrarly laid
out, a road district thould follow line
of travel. Tb road running up the
Clackamas, be Illustrated, should I
on district, tha road from Oregon
J City to New Kra or Canby another
snd th road to aome point betweea
Oregon City and Molalla, another.
Point Is Illustrated.
There are district in th eastern
part of lha county which collect a
large road tax. owing th timber land
within their boundary and yet these
dlsirlcta with their big fund are de
pendent on other and poorer dlstricta
to reach a railroad or town. District
21, be aatd, bad one of the largest dis
trict fund In the county, yet levied
a iimh-IrI tax to help diitrlct 60 Im
prove th Robbln' hill road In order
to get to town.
1 can aee no reason why my own
road, tbe one to rtaker'a bridge, should
be divided In the mlddl. h said.
"Why not make all the road one dla
trlct?" He could aee nothing In favor
of the preent aystem which givea a
supervisor control of pieces of a half
doxen roads.
He llluatrated further. "Take the
road to Molalla. There la aome point
In that road, about half way between
the two towns, where the traffic I do
vlded. Most of It on one aide of that
point goea Into Oregon City, moat on
the other to Molalla. That point I
would consider the Ideal place to di
vide two districts, giving one super
visor control of tho road to Oregon
City, to another the road to Molalla."
Change la Thought Certain.
This Idea, Judge Anderson Bald,
could not be carried out completely.
He believes that the plan of forming
districts will be changed until the prin
ciple la partially realized In every part
of the county and he hinted that the
first atep In realizing It may be taken
September 25.
Judge Anderson flatly elated ho was
in favor of larger and fewer districts.
Uy combining and changing bound
aries ho sees chance for decided Im
provement. Another Reason Found.
Another reason for hla views Ilea In
tbe now Oregon road statute, which
gives 70 per cent of tho general coun
ty road tax to the district funds, leav
ing only 30 per cent of the money with
tho districts, as heretofore. This law
will reduce the general fund to such
an extent that much of the heavy work
must be done out on the district funds,
instend of the gonernl road fund. Larg
er dlstricta and, consequently, larger
district funds will be necessnry to
stand this expense. .
CommiHsolnor Mattoon, In an Inter
view In August, snld he favored larg
er districts and Bald that the court
considered reducing the number to
four. Commissioner Smith has not
expressed his vlows In the matter.
Judge Anderson believes thnt four Is
too few a number of supervisors and
60 too many. He said that he thought
the number of supervisors should be
between 15 and 25.
THREE SUITS FILED
IN .CIRCUIT COURT
Three suits were filed In the circuit
court Monday. H. C. Allen, with a
claim assigned by Lang & Company,
of rortland, has brought a suit to col

Bhe says Johnson agreed to care for as
his own, but after they were married
he became sullen and refused to pro
vide for them and Insisted that ahe do
a man's work.
An appeal has been filed from the
Justice court In the suit of J. D. Pfelf

Illy Ward li. Lawton.)
Tbe benefits of a fair are great and
many If the people ill only make them
that way. It Is kkol for tbe pro
ducer and manufacturer to obtain the
best, ao let ua take our very best to
the fair and show our labors. If we
have tbe beat we are awarded a good
premium for our palna and efforts, as
well aa having the honor for the pro
duction of the same. If, on the other
hand, we fail, we bav learned a les
son on how to Improve and then let
ua go back to our labors and aee if we
ran only not produce aa good an article
aa the one taking the premium, but a
atlll better one. and In this way we
may help one another to gain a high
standard of production, whether It be
livestock, poultry, farm products or
manufactured articles. Not only is
the county fulr for the older peop.
but for tbe boys and girls aa well, as
the Juvenile department gives the boy
or girl a chance to show their ability,
which gives them a responsibility of
raring for things as well as the knowl
edge they gain.
You may therefore think It ouly
helps the producer, but It Is not, on
tbe other hand giving the consumer a
better grade of products for consump
tion. Therefore does not the consumer
reap the benefit as well aa the pro
ducer? So let all work for the county fair
by giving it our attendance nnd sup
port, not merely for the financial bene
fit of the premiums, but for the knowl
edge gained.

to actual accomplishment tonight, ac
cording to bankers familiar with the
pledgea aecured by member of the
Anglo-French financial coromlaaoln
during their five day' atay In thl
country.
Announcement at tbla time that the
aucceis of th loan was assured would
be. these bankers thought, decidedly
premature; but there was every Indi
cation, In their opinion, that the com
million's wort thu far had met with
a degree of success that had fully
equaled their expectation.
This view did not coincide with the
entlments e tboe oppolng the big
loan, nor of the so-cslled pro-German
financiers here who hav not been In
vited to attend the commlasoln'a con
ferences or meet the commlssolners.
An effort will be made to sell the
bond at par, !s caae the Interest rate
ahould be S per cent Members of the
commlssoln fully believe that such
bonds could be disposed of at par. but
American bankers have their doubts
on thla score.
Opposition to the flotation of the
loan Is countrywide among Americans

but haa strengthened other bankera In
their determination to aid tn floating

Impeded the task.
The bonds are to bo payable in

series will mature In Ave and the other
In ten years. This has not been de
cided. Into the hands of the commission. It
became known today, many American
hanker have placed their pledges to
take Dart of the loan. Not a hint aa
to the amount of these pledgea was
given, but there were Indications that
the sum totaled manj millions. These
promises. It was assumed, were con
tin cent on conditions of the loan.
In nearing the intimate details of
the transaction, the members of the

Here is a new record for the fair

Miss Hovde made her start at 4
o'clock, and did not Btop to rest until
she had finished the distance. She
used the side, breast and back stroke.
She thinks she can make better time
if she attempts to swim the lake again.

COUNTY COURT TAKES
IIP
SUPERVISORS ORDERED NOT TO
PAY MORE THAN FIVE CENTS
YARD FOR RIVER GRAVEL.
Five cents a yard is the highest
price road supervisors can pay for
river gravel in the future, the county
court has ruled.
In the past the price for gravel has
varied greatly. In many cases it was
donated by property owners along the
rivers while often the county paid as
high ub 10 cents a yard. In order to
put a standard price, on gravel, the
court has ordered supervisisors to pay
not more than five cents a yard.
The court met Tuesday and awarded
a contract for the repair of the Suck
er creek bridge at Oswego to William
Dusche. A trip to the upper Molalla
river, above the north fork, will be
made today to consider the building of
a bridge across the Molalla there.
