8tlr Ownera To
Action. .
The recent wholeeale .robberiea of
chicken rooata In Twilight, Mount
Pleasant and Maple Lane have atlr
red the farmera to action and a Poul
try Ral8era Protective Association
will be organised at once. It Is
thought that at least 300 ralaera will
become charter , membera and that
the organization will apread to other
parts of the county.
The first meeting will be held early
this week In the Mount Pleaaant
school house, and action will be taken
at once to put en end to the stealing
of chlckena. Large rewards will be
offered for the arrtt of the thieves.
Each member of the association will
wear a button showing that he is a
member, and signs giving the inform
ation that the ownera are members
of the association will be placed on
all the chicken houses. It Is thought
the announcement that rewards will
be offered for the arrest of the
thlevea will prevent robberies. The
association was suggested by M. J.
Laxelle, and thoae taking an active
part In Its organization are Ward
Lawton, of Mount Pleasant, and Mr.
Myer. of Maple Lane. The latter's
chicken roost was recently robbed of
forty fine hens. The association will
be known as The Clackamas County
Poultry Ralslrs' Association.

HEDGES TELLS OF
TREES IN EAST
LAWYER SAYS THEY ARE PRE
SERVED EVEN TO RETARD
ING OF TRAFFIC.
MANY FINE SPECIMENS IN STREETS
Publlo As Well As Lot Owner Has
Interest In Shade Trees
And They Should Be
Protected.
Tbe Morning Enterprise U in re
ceipt of an Interesting communication
from Joseph E. Hedges regarding
ahade trees. Mr. Hedges represented
Mrs. Nellie Walker In her success
ful fight to save a Urge tree at her
Home. The letter follows:
"Since It Is determined that the
case w walMr-viroregonrTttr erax;
which lnvolvea the queatlon whether
thla city or Its council haa a tight
to destroy a shade tree that stands
on the parking between the aldewalk
and the curb, will not be appealed,
I feel at liberty to say to you some
things that I learned by observation
on my trp through New York and
New England a few weeks ago.
"Tha object of my trio waa to be
In New Haven. Conn., during the re
union of my class at Yale. So- that
I was in that city longer than In any
other during my trip. New Haven
haa, I believe, more shade treea pro
portionately to its area than any oth
er city I have ever visited or been In.
It Is called the 'City of Elms.' I Judge
it has fifty miles of streets, on both
sides of which are large treea gen
erally elma. In the central portion
especially many of the trees are
either wholly on the sidewalk or part
ly on the sidewalk or In the street
beyond the , curb. And all of the
trees are carefully guarded and none
Is permitted to destroy or even In
jure one.
"I found the same condition on one
side of Fifth avenue. New York, and
on one aide of Eighth avenue. New
York, and In portions of Boston. In
Haverhill, Mass., the same care Is
given to the trees as In New Haven.
So it is In Newburyport, Mass. In
deed tbe cities generally throughout
New England build their walka and
the curbs around their ahade trees,
the beautlflera . of their . cities., and
preserve them even to the Incon
venience to an extent, of the pedes
trians or drivers of vehicles.
"I have brought home with me
some photographs and other pictures
showing the conditions I have
told you of, and amongst these is one
of the home for many years and tbe
place of death of the poet, Whlttler,
in Amesbyry, Mass. I waa at his
home and found In front of the prop
erty a large tree which atands about
In the center of the walk which ex
lends from the lot line to the curb.
"I feel tbe public, as well aa the
lot owner, has an Interest In the
ahade trees; and I hope enough In
terest will be manifested In the mat
ter to demonstrate the existence of
a strong sentiment in favor of the
growing and preservation of these
shade trees which adorn the city and
that It takes so many years to create
or grow." "
Beggar Given Jail Sentence.
William Duncan waa aentenced to
15 days In Jail by Recorder Stlpp.
Duncan was arrested for Intoxication
and begging by Policeman Cook.

ASory of the Battle

THIS IS THE FIRST OF A
SERIES OF FILMS PORTRAY
INQ THE' PRINCIPAL INCI
DENTS IN THE HISTORY
OF OUR COUNTRY.
A change of .heart seems to have
come to the Oregon City boys who
Friday evening deserted the recruit
ing officer of the Oregon Naval
Militia. Three signed Saturday and
were examined, others are to be ex
amin?d Sunday morning and Monday
all of ihosn who hare alreadyenllat:
ed will concentrate their efforts in a
special endeavor to raise the full
complement of forty before Tuesday
noon.
A systematic canvass will be made
and the service will oe outlined to
any who do not yet know what It Is.
All young men wishing to go on tbe
cruise msy do so If they will take
the examination, as arrangements
have been mJe to take them to
Portland Tuesday evening with those
already sworn in and have tbe final
details of eniitment arranged on
board the cruiser Boston by the prop
er officers.
The absolute need of a new and
adequate armory has brought the of
ficers snd men of Company G, of
the O. N. 0 to the aid of tbe Naval
Militia. Company G having their full
complement and with the new or
ganization established the armory
will be much easier to get because
the need will be more readily noticed.
All men between the ages of 18
and 30 will find the Naval Militia an
Interesting and educational organi
zation with excellent facilities for
social enjoyment and more practical
work. The local men will be drilled
by Portland officers until the com
pany Is on such a footing that It can
look out for itself. The Portland of
ficer will come to Oregon City to give
the instruction.
One of the moat enthusiastic boos
ters for the Naval Militia is Dr.
Meis8ner, who la devoting much time
and energy to juh!ng the work of
organisation.

Committee Given Interesting Opinions
On Trust Question That
Confronted Him In
Big Crisis.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Theodore
Roosevelt talked boldly before the
House of Representatives committee
of Inquiry Into the United States
Steel Corporation here today and vol
untarily told how his action In coo-
.je;nyngjk9hajjwr
nessee Coal ft Iron Company by the
Steel Corporation In 1907 averted a
disastrous panic
The ex-President's action In sub
mitting, to a Congressional review of
his own administration was almost
unprecedented In the history of the
United States, and was thoroughly
Rooseveltlan.
First he placed upon himself re-
sopnslblllty for approving the absorp
tion to avert financial distress in
Wall street, and condemned any man
who would be so week as not to act
as he did In that crisis. Not to hare
done so, he said, would have been
criminal. 4
Tbe chapter he contributed not on-.
ly dealt with his part In tbe events
of that threatening time, but he gave
the committee some Interesting opin
ions on the trust question that loom
ed ud In their Import even more than
his recital of facta in the Tennessee
Coal & Iron transaction."
After declaring that his object in
approving the sale of tbe Tennessee
company was to restore confidence,
the ex President, In response to In
quiries by Representative Littleton,
relating to the case aa presented to
him by Judge Gary and H- C. Frtck
At. the white House conference in
November.! 07. said:
"The situation waa so critical that
it waa liable to break at any moment
until the action was taken, and the
Instant it was taken an enormous Im- '
provement occurred and aa said in
the poem of Mr. Emerson, with which
you are all so well acquainted:
"If the red slayer think he slays.
Or if the slain think he is slain. It
matter
Then Mr. Roosevelt launched Into
a discussion with Chairman Stanley
of the general trust question, saying
that tbe United States had something
to learn from Germany.
