Portland Writer
Comes to Witness
Historical Pageant
Melcena Burns Denny, of Port
land, a writer of that city, was in Ore
gon City on Wednesday, having come
here to witness the pageant. Mrs.

Youth's Companion as. well as an il
lustrator for the children's page.
Mrs. Denny is not only a story writer,
but poetess aa well. -She is also a
regular contributor to the columns of
the Woman's Home Companion.
Mrs. Denny took up her residence
in Portland two and one-half years
ago. She is a member of the Writers'
League of Portland, a new organiza
tion. Her home for a number of years
was in Chicago, but longing for the
West she decided on "casting" her
lot in Oregon, although she had made
her home in California before going
East. Mrs. Denny is a typical West
en woman, and her charming man
ner has been the means of interesting
people in her writings.
The writer was accompanied to Or
egon City by her husband and daugh
ter, Roberta. Mr. Denny is manager
of the Life &N Accident department of
the Phil Grossmayer Company, with j
headquarters in Portland.
The Denny family visited a num
ber of the historic spots of Oregon Ci

the early history of the West, the old
historic homes appealed to the writer.
She has written many Indian legends
for California 'publications, and while
here secured a picture of Coalca rock,
with which there are several interest
ing Indian legends connected.

PEOPLE' ATTEND
HISTORICt PAGEANT
Lack of Adequate Facility For
Accomodation of Throng
Hinders Production Here.
The .first annual historical pageant
which was staged in Oregon City last
night brought with it a realization of
the great possibilities which attend
any move to visualize the epics in the
development of the west. Though
there was much to be desired in the
j holding of the pageant on the Willam-
C A I TQ17 rtC A rrmriUT ette tne value oI tne idea o an annual
wiwwn nvvx xrt-. i gatnenng to perpetuate, through a
' dramatic presentation, the stories of
the founding of the civilization which
has flourished beside the falls, was
generally recognized.
A crowd of between 5000 and 6000
people was on hand to witness the
scene, but many could not view the
pageant because , of the lack of ade
quate seating facilities.
The people flocked to the. east shore
and no attempt to use the wide flat
across the river for seating room was
made though it had been announced
that this was open.
The start of the pageant was delay
ed by the fact that a crowd broke
through the lines at the foot of Ninth
street where he scenes were laid and
considerable difficulty in forcing them
back up the river bank was encoun
tered. The most successful part of the
pageant was staged at the library
park in the fairy scenes presented by
some 60 Oregon City childrn under the
direction of Adah Losh Rose. A
charming story was woven about the
crowning of the queen of the fairies. !
Betty Forbes took the part of the fairy j
empress. May Forbes, Nan Lovett,
Barbara Hedges, and Joy Harriet
Thayer appeared in beautiful solo
dances. Louise Vonderahe took the
part of fairy prince. Betty Wheaton
and Alice Rands were the diminutive
sprites of the affair. Fairy dances,
cavorting brownies and wood nymphs
filled in the attractive setting.
Percy A. Campbell, with 16 musi
cians from his famous American Band
furnisned the music for the occasion.
The excellent numbers formed one of
the chief features of the evening.

A meeting 0f the Public Service
Commission, representatives of- the
Southern Pacific and representatives
of Oregon City and the local business
at 11 o'clock "Friday morning will
consider final plans for the construc
tion of the new S. P. depot here. The
meeting, called at the request of the
commission, will be held at the local
depot.
The Oregon City business men will
be represented by a committee of
five, appointed at a meeting held in
the Commercial Club rooms Wednes
day afternoon. The committee Is com
posed of Ralph Shepherd, E& Schwab,
W. A. Huntley, Don Schwock and
Al Price.
Negotiations to Be Conducted
Nnder the instructions given at the
meeting, the committee is given com
plete authority to conduct the negoti
ations with the company for the bus-
sires a modification of the order made
by the commission for the improve
ment of the depot, and the commis-"
sion will make the change if an agree
ment is reached between the city and
the rail officials.
The original order requires the con
struction of separate freight and pas
senger depots, to which the railway
objects. It is understood that a coun
ter proposal will be made which would
reduce the overhead costs. If this
proposal meets with the approval ot
the committee, the change will be
made in the commission's order and
construction started immediately.
The business men, through a mo
tion introduced at the meeting by M.
D. Latourette, went on record as fav
oring the construction of a two story
depot, with a freight elevator. This
would allow the moving of freight
from the lower floor on a level with
Seventh street. At least three en
trances are to be required. They al
so favor the installation of adequate"
facilities at the depot here for the
handling of less than -carload lots of
freight, the construction and mainte
nance of track facilities and connect
ig roads near Green point for the
handling of carload shipments, stock.
automobiles, and other car lot con
signments. Improvement of street fa
cilities near the depot to allow easier
access to the railway premises, is al
so to be proposed.
Attorneys To Aid Committee
O. U. Eby, city attorney, who with
Chris Schuebel, attorney for the Live
Wires, will act with the committee,
outlined before the meeting th pro
cedure leading" up to the order for the
improvement of the depot September
10, 1921. Schuebel pointed out the
advantages of a compromise which
would in the end, he stated, better
serve the interests of the peple of the
people of the city than the projected
plan.
That the facilities for handling less
than carload lots here is inadequate
wag the opinion voiced by Ralph Shep
herd, head of the traffic department
of the commercial club. Schwab, sec
retary of the Oregon City Manufac-
ing company, stated that the carload
facilities were inadequate and recom
mended the stressing of the installa
tion of suilable facilities at Green .
Point.
Original Order Would Help
Harry Draper voiced the belief that
the order of the commission for the
original improvement fully took care
of the needs of thecity, and that if it
could be improved through the pend
ing negotiations it would be advanta
geous to the shippers as well as the
railroad.
The meeting of the business men
was called by AI Price, Main Trunk
of the Live Wires, who were instru
mental in securing the order for the
new depot, when a committee headed
by Wallace Caufield sponsored a hear
ing before the commission. Practi
cally all of the business men in the
city were notified of the session at
the club roms yesterday, and although,
the negotiations Friday will be con
ducted entirely by the committee
which was named, the local shippers
who are interested are asked to at
tend the meeting.
MANUFACTURERS CAUTIOUS
The recent rapid rise in the price of
raw cotton was reflected by a sub
stantial upward movement in pieca
goods and yarns in Lancashire. 'Un
certainty as to the limit of rise is
causing manufacturers to be exceed
ingly cautious in closing contracts,
