W.PJ HAWLEY SR.
HAKES LIBERAL
PARK DONATION
At a meeting of the Live "Wires
of the city at noon' luncheon Tues
day, R. Parker, chairman of the auto
park committee reported that the
grounds are rapidly reaching a state
of usefulness and that the projert
will be completed within the next
couple of weeks. Five tourists par
ties made use of the park such as it
is last week. The new building do
nated by the Commercial club is on
the grounds and being fitted out. W.
P. Hawley, Sr., was given a vote
' of thanks for his liberal subscription
without which the project would have
fallen flat as the appeal for finances
has not been as it should have been.
The expenses have been met witli
such big-hearted men as Mr. Hawley
and they deserve the appreciation cf
the citizens. The amount donated
by Mr. Hawley was $500. Mr. Park
er says that it will be necessary to
make a personal appeal for the rest
of the expenses. O. D. Eby reported
as chairman of the committee to as
sist the berry growers and was ciis
charged. J. T. Butler, commander cf
the Oregon G. A. R., gave a brief talk
on the invitation to the G A R. en
campment for 1922 at Oregon City,
and Main Trunk Brodie appointed
Raymond Caufield as a committee to
draft and present a letter of .invita
tion to the Mayor and city council
for their signatures before presenting
it to the G. A. R. for the grand
encampment here next year.
Main Trunk Brodie sprung a new
idea on the Live "Wires in the way
of "Your Own Home Town Week"
and a city plate to' be attached tc
the license plate. A further devel
opment will be brought about at the
next meeting, when A. F. Marsh, a
representative of the Plate manufac
turers will be present to go into de
tails by a special' invitation extended
to him by the wires.
FRED AULMN
CAUGHT UNDER

the entire building fell back to the ! I
ground- pinning Aultman under ' f
it doubled up, a large timber j 1
beside htra saving his life. A crowd ;

REPORTS. ARE GOOD
Up to June 1, the fruit crop condi
tions in Oregon are as follows, ac
cording to advices received from the
Oregon Growers' Cooperative associa
tion: Apples Rogue valley has prospects
for big crop, double that of one year
ago. Umpqua valley wil have the
heaviest crop ever, shipped. Willam
ette valley has prospects of big crop
of good quaKty and large "sizes.
Cherries Umpqua valley about 50
per cent crop. Willamette valley es
timates from 50 to 60 per cent
Pears Rogue valley about three-
fourths of last year's crop. Umpqua
and Willamette valleys, about same
as last year.
Pr:ines In the Umpqua vaUey, Ital
ians promise above the ten-year aver
age tut spotted. Petities, setting less
than normal. In the Willamette val
ley river bottom orchards promise fair
crop with other orchards having a
light crop
As a whole, Oregon will have an ex
tra heavy apple crop, average pear
crop, cherry crop somewhat lighter
than last year and about 50 per cent
prune crop-
The U. S. department of agriculture
recognizes the fact that the northwest
will have a heavy fruit crop. A re
cent bulletin says: "Prospects for
the fruit crop in general is quite fav
orable in the far northwest. Prac
tically all stone fruits and early ap
ples have suffered a ever loss in the
'central and Atlantic coast states. The
crop of late apples in these states will
depend on the' size of the June crop
and a heavy drop is feared. The out
look for a berry crop, especially black
berries, is quite favorrble for the
country in general.
Circuit Court
Holds League
Contracts Valid
Members of the Oregon Dairymen's
Cooperative league and other coop
erative associations of Oregon are in
terested in the decision of Judge John
S. Coke of the circuit court of Coos
county rendered last week in which
he holds the long time contract,
which the league members signed, val
id. Four members of the league sueu
by the league last year for violation
of their contracts by selling to others
than the league. The Nestles Food
company, taking up the fight for tie
dairymen, demurred to the complaints
on four counts, viz:
1. That the contract was of agency
form rather than a sale.
2. Lacked mutuality and could not
be enforced m a court of equity.
3. That no allegation of perform
ance on the part of the plaintiff was
made.
4. That the contract was illegal
ani in restraint of. trade.
Judge Coke's decision was about
3500 words long and held the con
tract was legal, of more than agency
form, that it was mutual and not in
restrain of trade. -Attention was
called to the Oregon law permitting
organization for dairymen and others.
Oregon City to the Fore,
At last the long .wished for automobile park is a
reality. And how easy it was after the start was made.
Even in its uncompleted state the tourists are taking ad
vantage of the hospitality it offers. It's location near
the falls of the Willamette was a happy selection. Many
wearied travelers will be lulled to slumber by their sweet
music. Refreshed and inspired by their view of snow
capped Mount Hood they will exclaim as with the pro
phet of old: "How beautiful upon the mountain tops,"
and going on their way rejoicing with a song of praise
for Oregon City. Next we are to have a new gymna
sium for the activities of the high school, to properly
train the young to be fit citizens for a section unsurpass
ed in scenic beauty and rich in natural resources.
Typical of the spirit of Oregon City was the gift
of Willard P. Hawley, Sr., who to aid in promoting the
equipment of the park and unsolicited sent the commit
tee a check for $500 to help the enterprise to a success
ful completion.
Oregon City has the setting for an ideal city ; a bee
hive of industry, contented workers, happy homes,
schools and churches unsurpassed. It's a . great privi
lege to be able to claim citizenship in such a place. We
will join in welcoming the stranger to the best city in
the best county and the best state in the union. With
due modesty we may well absorb a little of the booster
spirit, not with apologies for any shortcomings; but
rather a chorus of praise without a discordant note.

The Willamette Valley Chautauqua
association has vaxied its program
this season by booking two standard
play produced by good casts. It is
only within recent years that the
Chautauqua has been ' able to repro
duce the work of the legitimate stage.
but by means of clever building of
stage equipment so as to allow it
to be folded uD and put up in short
ime in tents and auditonums some
very effective results u.ave been ou
tained.
The first of the plays booked for
Gladstone is the comedy, "It Pays to
Advteartise." This comedy is ono
of the most successful ever produced
'and wll be presented by the Keighley
New York players with an all pro
fessional cast. The Ellison-White
Chautauqua company booked this or
ganization over one of their circuits
last year with pronounced success.
It is produced in far better style than
the average road show is able to give
in the theaters of our large cities.
The second play is produced by the
same management and is a riot of
clean, clever fun. "Nothing but the
Truth," is a well known and stand
ard comedy and should be appreciated
by all. The play at the Chautauqua
last year drew the largest crowd f
any attraction except Billy Sunday,
showing that the people appreciate
and demand something good on the
legitimate stage.
Proposals will be invited this week
for the construction of the new high
school gymnasium building, for whlclif
bonds were voted more than a year
ago. After the bonds were sold and
the money was available, building
costs had reached a point where the
amount on hand was insufficient and
construction was deferred. Architect
Whitehouse, of Portland, wh planned'
the structure, ndv, Believes that the
building can be erected witfhin the
amount of the appropriation of 35,
000. The gymnasium will be a brick
structure and will be located on the
southwest corner of the high school
block, where the temporary manual
training bmilding 1st located. The
new building wilj have quarters for
the manual training work.

That the people of Oregon City
want a part of Mount Pleasant to be

Tuesday when the voters went to the

is better than three to one and not

Ernest Paulson, 17 years old, son
of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Paulson, cf
Portland, prominent residents of that
city, lost his life in Oswogo lake on
Saturday afternoon and the body was
recovered by his schoolmates three
hours later. Every effort was made
to resuscitate the young man by use
of a pulmotor which was brought from
a nearby mill, but life was extinct.
and tho attending- physician, Dr.
Huycke, of this city, who was sum
moned, found that the lungs contain
ed no water and it is believed that
the death was caused by heart fail
ure.
Young Paulson called to ono of his
friends and! at the time was stand
ing up in tho canoe. When the
friend turned to go towards Paulson,
he had disappeared and his canoe was
empty, but not tipped. The disap
pearance of Paulson therefor is pro
blematical as to whether he lost his
balance of was suddenly stricken
with heart failure.
Boys of the party, students of the
Washington high sahool. who were en
joying a picnic at the resort, made
every effort to f ind the body and
kept up a steady diving for several
hours, when it was finally located in
the bottom of the lake. Futile ef
forts were made to bring back life
by the former schoolmates and Dr.
Huycke and other congregated at the
spot. .
Relatives were- called from Port
land, among these being his brother
Frank, who worked in vain to restore
life.
Coroner H. A. Pace of this city, was
summoned, hut did not hold an !n
quest, turning the remains over t
Holman & Son, of Portland.
Paulson was a general favorire
among his student friends and his
untimely departure cast a spell of
gloom .over the party.
The body was recovered by an Os
wego boy: Among those making ef
forts to secure the body was Rod
ney Keating, formerly of this ity.
now of Portland and student of the
Washington high school. Like the
other boys he made several dives with
clothes on to the bottom of the lake
but was unsuccessful in finding the
body.

Establishing Stae
to Wilhoit Springs
Being Considered
M. J. Lee, of Canby, who establish
ed an automobile stage line between
Oregon City and Canby about a year
ago, is contemplating establishing a
similar line between Wilhoit and Ore
gon City as soon as the road3 between
that resort and Oregon City are in a
better condition.
Mr. Lee's bus line will be only oper-;
ated on Sundays, leaving here about
8:30 and. arriving at tho resort in
a few hours, leaving for Oregon City
about 6 o'clock, thus giving the vis
itor plenty of time to enjoy the day
at the famous picnic grounds.
Many improvements are being made
since the place has changed hands,
and among these is the establishment
of a large dancing pavilion, which is
being made from the former bowling1
alley. Cottages are being renovated
while a number have been torn down
to make room for new buildings.

BONUS BILL IS

Casting less than a fifty per cent
vote. Clackamas county people went
on record Tuesday as favoring two of
the measures on the ballot and
against three, according: to returns
from 43 out of 82 precincts.
The Bonus Bill, which has by far
created the most interest, waa car
ried by 2394 against 885 or more than
tour to one. With the exception of
two or three outside precincts all
gave this bill a good majority. From
the first returns it was evident that
(he bill would carry and as the re
turns came in late'r the lead increas
ed. The Legislative Regulation and
Compensation Amendment fixing the
time limit on the ' legislative and the
lay of the legislators, was defeated
in complete returns from 43 precincts
by 2139 to 932.
The Emergency Clause veto bill
carried by a vote of 1551 to 1350 and
the marriage examination bill was de
feated by 1702 to 1465 in these pre
cincts. The measure providing for women "
jurors met defeat by a small margin
of fiC, the vote being 1532 favoring,
and 1598 against.

Interest in Tuesdays election in
the state of Oregon was comparatively
faint. Were it not for the soldier's
bonus bil it was doubted from some
of the counties whether a 20-per cent
vote would have been cast. In Mc
Minr.ville, . however, there was . con
siderable interest owing to the fight
being made in that town against the
public dance ordinance. Reports
from nearly all counties are in and

House leaders declare they will not
approve the increases in appropria
tions made by the upper chamber.
When the naval bill left the house
where it originated, it provded for an
expenditure of $396,000,000. To this
$100,000,000, bring
ing the total just under the $500,000,
000 mark.
House leaders insist that this fig
ure js unreasonably high in a con
gress committed to economy. They
charge the senate with having talked
economy for nearly a month and then
of having indulged in grossest extrav
agance. The bill will go to confer
ence '. between representatives of the
two chambers when an attempt will
be made to iron out difficulties.
Spokesmen i for the lower chamber
will be instructed to force the senate

Wyoming, republican leader.
He explained the airplane construc

There was no early indications as"
to how the legislative regulation and
compensation amendment, the wom
en's jury measure or, the emergency
clause veto amendment had gone. AI
thought returns in this county were
decisive, yet reports from the reft
of the state showed that there was
a great difference of opinfon about
these measures. Heavy opposition in
most counties heard from was report-'
ed against the hygeinic marriage ex
amination and license bill, and strag
gling votes counted in a few counties
were reported to show a majority
against it.
Reports from some few counties re
ported voters as saying1 they would
not have gone to the polls had it not
been for the soldiers' bonus bill-
Counties where road bond meas
ures were voted on. reported more in
terest for and against these measures
than in the state ticket.
