FIFTY-SIXTH YEAR, No. 22.
OREGON CITY, OREGON. FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1922.
ESTABLISHED 186S
BIG ATTRACTIONS
ARE ON PROGRAM
FOR CHAUTAQUA
Symposium Again to be One
o f Features ; Prominent
Authors and Lecturers of
State Are Being Booked.
DAILY BALL GAMES
WILL BE ARRANGED
New Entertainment Stunts are
Scheduled for Children In
Thirteen Days of Session.
The program for the 29th annual
gathering of the ' Willamette Valley
Chautauqua association at the historic
and scenic Gladstone Park for 13 days
beginning July 1, has been completed
by the executive committee.
Following the established policy of
the organization to keep up a steady
and substantial growth every effort
is being made by the management to
to make this year's program an im
provement on any previous year. The
program has been tentatively arrang
ed and with the exception of a few
minor details is complete. In addition
to the forum hours and programs in ,
the big auditorium scheduled in the
program there will be a daily after
noon symposium at which many of the
best read and best known Oregon peo
ple will gather to discuss the various
subjects to which their lives are de
dicated. Authors, educators, minis
ters and musicians all find their place
on the program. Each morning from
10 to 11 will be reserved for the Bible
Hour as the officers feel that this
is the heart of the Chautauqua idea.
It is not definitely determined who
will be the leader of this hour, but
he will be a minister of great force
and wide reputation.
Ball Games Planned.
The daily baseball games, which
have come to be relied upon as the
variety which makes association a
success, are to be scheduled with par
ticular interest toward arranging even
contests. A. G. Beattie, the secretary,
is ready to accept applications, from
the managers of any amateur teams
in Clackamas or Multnomah counties.
Several have already signified their
desire to play on the Chautauqua
diamond, and the indications are that
the National game will not want for
players or fans this year.
The children will be taken care of
in the way of Junior Chautauqua
which provides games, sports and a
great pageant on the closing day for
their entertainment. The athletics for
the older children and grown persons
who care to participate will be direct
ed by a competent gymnasium expert.

Jacob Duyn, 12
Year-Old Youth,
Drowns In Lake
Jacob Duyn, 12-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Nicholas Duyn, of Clackamas
Heights, lost his life in Englebrecht
Lake Saturday morning while swim
ming and the body was recovered two
hours later by Joe Murphy of Clacka
mas Heights.
The lad, in company with two small
friends, James Grady and William
Murphy, was playing about the lake
earlier in the morning and about 10
o'clock the Duyn boy went in swim
ming. The two other boys remained
on shore and paid little attention to
the cries of the lad, whom they claim
was in the habit of calling for help.
As soon as they realized the danger
they caught hands and waded into the
lake to help their friend, but were un
able to reach him until he had sank
for the third time.
They immediately spread the word
in Clackamas Heights and several
neighbors rushed to the scene but
were unable to locate the body. 'This
lake has several large holes in it that
were caused from blasting and the
boy went down near one of the,largest
of these. Efforts were made to lo
cate the body in this hole but it was
found near the edge by Murphy and
soon brought to shore. The water at
this place is only about four feet deep
but is muddy, which hindered the
searchers.
Besides the father and mother the
drowned boy is survived by two sis
ters, Anna and Gertrude Duyn, and
one brother, (Nicholas, Jr. The family
has resided at Clackamas Heights for
the Past three years and Mr. Duyn is
employed at the Crown Willamette
paper mills.
The same place has been the scene
of four other deaths. Otto and Hor
ace Sehram were drowned there a
number of years ago when they went
through the ice on which they were
skating. Otto was killed while at
tempting to save his brother.
Two of the Endres boys were
drowned a few years later under sim
ilar conditions.
Fare Rise Not to
Affect Traction
Lilies In West Linn
The request of the Southern Pacific
company for a rise in the rate charged
on the traction lines in Eugene and
Salem, will not affect the Willamette
Falls Railway, which they operate be
tween Wilamette, West Linn and Bol
ton, according to the statement made
by Fred G. Buchtel, of the Public Serv
ice Commission Monday.
Considerable interest has been
aroused here by the filing of the peti
tion with the commission, for in the
former actions, the three lines were
handled together and it was first be
lieved that the new request would in
dicate the local traction line.
The request for a six-cent fare,
which at present pending before the
commission, is a secondary petition,
following the former action to secure
an increase from five to eight cents.
This was denied by the commission.
Subsequently, it is pointed out, the
Southern Pacific withdrew the request
for an increase on the west side road
and, the recent action brought before
the commission sought no change in
the status of the line here.
The action taken by the railroad
was in conjunction with the first re
quest for an increase and the West
Linn railway was not taken into con
sideration! on the later application.
The city of West Linn is at present
in communication with the commis
sion relative to the clearing up of the
matter, as it was planned to fight any
advance which might be made.

Since the beginnine of the world
war the Red Cross work has been
successfully carried on in this city, !
with Miss Cis Barclay Pratt as local
assistant secretary. She has visited
all section of the county, where she
has' made a host of friends, not only
for herself in the interest she has
taken in her duties, but for the Red
Cross Society as well. When the
world war began Miss Pratt was one
of the first to respond to give her
assistance in war work carried on in
this city, and later was appointed to
the responsible position as the as
sistant secretary.
Miss Pratt served as president of
the Honor Guard Girls, an organiza
tion formed here in 1917 to carry on
patriotic work. This organization
raised a large amount of money,
which was used for patriotic purposes !
and a portion of which was turned

has aided in the bringing of relief
to needy families in Clackamas coun
ty.

garding any Red Cross work may call

which will be open until Saturday
evening.
The discontinuance of the work
here is due to lack of funds. The cam
paign last November only provided
sufficient finances to keep up the ex?
penses of the office for a six month
period and no further local aid or
government money has been avail
able. 4 DIVORCE DECREES ARE
GRANTED IN COURT HERE
Four divorce decrees were granted
by the circuit court Monday and
three suits for separation were filed.
Margret Hill was granted a divorce
from Harry C. Hill, in a contested
suit. They were married in Oregon
City July 23, 1921. Her husband, in
the employ of the Crown-Wilamette
Paper company, was taxed for the cost
of the suit and is lo pay his wife $300
in monthly installments. She will re
sume her maiden name of Margret
Ashenfelter.
Augusta H. Martien was granted a
decree on a cross complaint against
her husband Cecil J. Martien Mar
tien filed suit for divorce which was
followed immediately by a counter
suit. The wife was granted the custo
dy of their one child and $20 a month.
Martien, who is in the employ of the
American Sing Company in Portland,
is on bond awaiting trial in the circuit
court on charges of non-support. He
was arrested last March.
Divorces were. granted in the case
of Silvia against Ray H. Schilling,
married in Seattle October 5, 1919 and
Cleo against Olive M. Mansfield, mar
ried in Vancouver May 31, 1917. -
Suits for divorce filed were: Laura
B. Kapphan against James P. Kap
phan, married in Marion county
March 3, 1915; Helen H. against Paul
V. Black, married in Kalama October
1, 1914 and Bessie V. against Clarence
Prier, married in Vancouver Decem
ber 31, 1914.
S. P. LOSES CASE OVER
RIGHT OF
A decision against the Southern Pa
cific in the case brought by J. A.
Ream, of Willamette, was written
Monday by Judge J. U. Campbell. The
decision prevents the railway com
pany from preventing travel across
their right of way. The suit covered
a tract just south of Willamette where
the defendant company had built a
fence la .front of Ream's property. .
It Is decided in the suit that the right
of way is a public thoroughfare at this
point and that the company has no
priority 'which will allow them the
exclusive use of it. A similar case
between West Linn and the Southern
Pacific was similarly decided by
Judge Campbell.
FISH POACHERS
ARE SAID ACTIVE
ON CLACKAJY1AS
The prevention of poaching on the
Willamette river, which has been
closed by the order of the fish com-
mission to commercial fishing with
nets, has driven the game violateors
to an older, but a seemingly safer
amas river.
Method Is Described.
One of the favorite means said to
be used in the Clackamas river poach
ing is to haul boats up the river on
a trailer during the afternoon, mak
ing the drift late at night. One of
the systems used to avoid detection
is to haul the boat, and net gear, sep
arate. The boats are taken up the
Clackamas road and the nets are
left behind. In the event of appre
hension by the authorities, no fishing
gear Could be located.
After the boat is safely conducted,
a return trip is made, or another oar
dispatched with the net and tackle.
Toward dusk the raft is fitted out
and a silent drift is made down
stream, the nets being pulled in
shortly before the mouth of the
stream Is reached.
Of bolder stamp are the poachers
wno leavlng with loaded Doats in the
afternoon, work their way up the
Clackamas and by evening are ready
to start the return drift. In some in
stances these men load their boats
with nets and gears and strike out
up the river.
The success of these operations is
witnessed to by the fact that there
have been comparatively few arrests
made this year the state wardens,
of whom there are nine stationed
j near Oregon City. The business of
catching the game violators has al
j ways been one fraught with difficulty
i because of the clever means used by
the poachers to break through the
lines of the wardens.
Willamette Said Clear.
The Wilamette this year has been
held comparatively clear of encroach
ments, the wardens assert. There has
been less attempt at commercial fish
ing because of the fact that the run
of salmon is not so good as has been
seen even during the few past years.
Many of the salmon are large in size
but their number is stated .to be
fewer.
The poachers operations this year
have been conducted on a quieter scale
than has marked the violations of the
past few years. Especially last year,
there was particular violence over
the closing of the river, and in the
fights that took place several times
the lives of the wardens were en
dangered. This year three attempts to raid
the fish ladder near the Willamette
falls have been made but the fact
that the efforts of the wardens is
concentrated in this vicinity has
made them fewer. Thus the Clacka
mas is steadily gaining in favor for
the illicit operations.
The marketing of the fish caught
by the netting operations is said to
have been meeting with little diffi
culty. Although the sale of salmon
is prohibited by law, among those
who are organized to carry on the
illicit trade, private markets are se
cured and ' the catch is believed to
find its way into the metropolis,
where it is often sold over reputable
counters.

j -
j SALEM, May 26. No more may the
; youthful patriots of Oregon vent their
. enthusiasm on the grand and glorious
j Fourth of July through the medium of
firecrackers and fireworks. "Them
days is gone forever."
Under the provisions of an act of

uary last firecrackers, rockets,
torpedoes, blank cartridges, caps, Ro-
man candles, pistols, canes and all
forms of explosives and pyrotechnics

servance of the Fourth of July, but
or possession by deaiers is
also prohibited and the state fire mar
shal or his assistants are authorized
to confiscate and remove any such
stocks as may be discovered within
the state.
The only prospect for young Oregon
j to get a taste of a real old-fashioned
Fourth of July celebration will be
through a specially staged and care
fully supervised public display of fire
works under special permission of the
i city authorities.
Hereafter Oregon's observance of
the grand old day will be absolutely
safe and sane at least so far as leg
islative action can make it.
State Wide Aid
For 1925 Fair Is
Asked By Mayor
PORTLAND, May 25. The first
shot in the campaign to authorize the
staging of the 1925 exposition under
the revised financial plan recently
adopted Dy a special cuuiuuiieo wao
i fired yesterday in the form of an
appeal to the citizenry of Oregon by
George L. Baker, acting in the dual
capacity of mayor of Portland and
ice-ehainmm of liia exposition man
aging committee.
Two initiative measures will be
submitted to the voters of the state
at the November election, under the
revised plan. One of the measures
will authorize the leiy of $1,000,000 a
year for three years in the city of
Portland and the other will be a. con
stitutional amendment permitting the
voters of the city of Portland to levy
the tax.
Business men of Portland have
pledged themselves to subscribe $50,
000 to carry out the preliminary ex
position plans, and a campaign to
rajSe $1,000,000 subscription through
out the state wiu fouow tne Novem
ber election. It is understood that
a great portion of this money is al
ready pledged pending the outcome
of the election.
In his statement calling for a final
settlement of the' exposition question.
Mayor Baker called for the moral
support of the people of the state.
NIGHT CREWS AT WORK
UPON NEW BRIDGE HERE
Work on the new bridge between
Oregon City and West Linn is being
speeded by the employment of a night
gang. It is now anticipated that the
structure will be opened within five
or six months, at least some time be
fore the contracted period for com
pletion is expired.
The present flood stage of the river
has developed no trouble at the
bridge. Fears had been entertained
that a log jam would form about the
western pier, but so far there has been
no gathering of drift about the struc
ture. Engineers have been closely watch
ing the rising river, because com
plaints had been made to the state
highway board that the new span
would interfere with river traffic dur
ing the freshet season. A jam that
appeared at the last high water is now
believed to have been due to the cof
fer dam surrounding the pier founda
tions, and not to the pier itself.
OREGON FREIGHT RATES
SALEM, May 30. That the Oregon
public, service commission, can be
expected to follow the lead set by the
interstate commerce commission In
its horizontal reduction of freight
rates, was the information given by
Fred IA. Williams, chairman of the
Oregon Commission, Monday, upon re
ceipt of a copy of the commission's
order.
Inasmuch as the state commission
followed the lead of the interstate
body when the rates were on the up
grade It is only reasonable to expect
that intrastate rates will follow inter
state rates downward now that the sit-
uation has been reversed, according
to Williams.

Clackamas District Public
Schools WU1 be Handed
Eighth Grade Certificates.
NUMBER OF DIPLOMAS
EXPECTED TO BE 625
Better Systematized Work In
Teaching and Census Gain.
Believed Cause of Increase.
The largest graduating class in the
history of the Clackamas county pub
lic schools, will receive diplomas at
the joint exercises to be held in
"Gladstone on June 3. The issuance
of the diplomas has been completed.
A total of 612 have already been made
out and it is expected that by the end
of the year there will be at least 625.
The number will be increased some
what as some of the schools have not
yet held their examinations. Oak
Grove, Eagle Creek and Russelville,
are in this class. Their examinations
will be given on June 8 and 9. At this
same time, students of the eighth
grade over the county who have failed
in one or two subjects will be given a
second examination which will bring
up the list slightly. Some diplomas
also are being held up pending the re
ceiving of credits coming from schools
outside of the county from which the
graduating students had entered.
. The reason for the increase, accord
ing to County Superintendent Brenton
Vedder, is that the population of the
county has materially increased. The
school census this year, he points out,
showed a big gain over the previous
year and indicates that the number of
students attending the schools here is
gaining in large strides.
Part of the increase, Mr. Vedder
states, is due to the fact that the
work of the schools themselves is be
coming better systematized. On this
account the failures and the number
of students who drop out of school
has become smaller. Improvement of
the instruction system with the pos
sibility of more personal instruction
for the students individually has in
creased materially the number who
are not hampered by having to spend
a second term repeating any of the
curriculm.
The closing exercises of Hazelia
school district. No. 37, were held Fri
day. The teacher, pupils and friends
of the school joined in an excursion
up the Columbia River highway,
where a picnic dinner was served
at Multnomah falls. The excursion
was piloted by Wiliam B. Cook. Miss
Frances Willis, who has taught the
school the past year, has been en
gaged for the coming year at a sub
stantial increase in salary. , .
GURNIE CRANOR NAMED
HEAD OF STUDENT BODY
Gurnie Cranor, president of the
Freshman class at the Union High
School in West Linn, will head the
student body next year. At the same
election Elmer Simpson was chosen
vice president; Ruth Miller, secre
tary; Mildred McKillican, treasurer;
Earl Cox, sergeant-at-arms; Sylvester
Petit, editor of the Green and Gold;
'Gordon Hammerle, manager of the
annual; Dempsey Powell, yell leadeuf
John Straub, dean of men at the
University of Oregon, will deliver
the commencement address at the
Union High auditorium. The last pre- -summer
event to be staged by the
students will be a student body hike
to Oswego lake on this coming Mon
day. PLAINTIFF'S COSTS $145

2 Divorces Granted
By Judge Campbell
