AVIATOR NOVICE
FALLS TO DEATH
DARING COSTS YOUNG YALE MAN
LIFE AFTER VETERAN'S
WARNING.
BIRDMAN JUMPS FROM AEROPLANE
Crowd Amazed at Recklesness of
Aviator, Who Finally Loses
Control in Treacher -ous
Wind.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22 Ruther
ford Page, aged twenty-four, a Yale
graduate, registered from New York,
and flying as one of the Curtiss avia
tors, fell 150 feet to his death this af
ternoon on Dominguez Field, a few
moments before the close of the third
day's program of the third interna
tional aviation meet. His death, the
doctors said, was instantaneous.
Olmost every hone in Page's body
was broken. His neck was broken,
both legs and arms wa3 broken, both
legs and arms and his chest crushed.
Page was endeavoring to "turn on
a pivot" at a height of about 150 feet
when the swell of air over the hang
ers caught his planes.
Page made an effort to regain his
balance, but evidently fearing that
the aeroplane had gotten beyond con
trol, gave up and when about sixty
feet in the air jumped clear of the
machine as it was dropping like a
plummet. He cleared the machine
and fell flat into the plowed ground.
According to the doctors he was
crushed to death.
Page was flying for the first time
as a licensed avia'tor having been
awarded his license Saturday. His
flying early today was one of the spec
tacular features, despite a puffy and
treacherous wind which lent color to
the free expression of predictions that
the day would be marred by acci
dents. Page was one of the first to leave
the ground. In the first heat of the
five mile handicap, in which he and
Lincoln Beachey, the Curtiss veter
an, were the contestants, Page thrilled
the crowd by his sensational ma
neuvers. All of the dips and sharp
turns made by Beachy were duplicat
ed by Page, who was even more dar
ing than Beachey.
The more experienced aviators
shook their heads "when they witness
ed Page'3 apparently foolish evolu
tions and when he descended, Glenn
Curtiss, who taught him to fly, cau
tioned him against attempting at his
first meet to perform feats of flying
that required long experience to learn.

FOR LA FOLLLTTE
NEW YORK, Jan. 22 The political
atmosphere in the East was further
changed tonight by the first appear
ance in this section of Senator R. M.
La Follette, of Wisconsin, since he an
nounced his candidacy as a "progres
sive Republican" for the Presiden
tial nomination.
In connection with the Senator's
coming here was political gossip to
the effect that Colonel Roosevelt also
might appear at the Carnegie Hall
mass meeting which Mr. La Follette
addressed and possibly lend assis
tance to his boom, but the Colonel
was not present Instead he attended
a dinner of several prominent leaders
in charity work.
Gifford Pinchot, a close friend of
President Roosevelt, who has been re
garded as a staunch Roosevelt lieu
tenant, appeared with Senator La
Follette, however, and presided at the
meeting. He presented the Senator
as the "candidate I support for the
Republican Presidental nomination."
While the meeting was under way
the crowd that sought admittance was
so large that the police had to keep
the throng away.

THOSE BOYS
E MOUS Tiff
Cataract Hose Company is sure
some hose. At least that's the opin
ion of many gentlemen of this town
who are in the habit of charging Dollar-Twenty-Five,
for H, 2, 0. mixed
with a little sugar of milk; or One
Pint Blackstone with nine parts Horse
Sense. Of course the occasion was
extraordinary. It always is when
Cataract Hose Company No. ,2 lets
loose. And Monday night was no
exception.
First there was a dinner. Not a
lunch, or a snack, or a rarebit, or any
other society flim-flam; but a plain
super-gorgeous every-day chicken din
ner. And the chicken was present
or at least it was for a while. Only
a little while, however, and all that
was left was a wishbone or two, some
lawyers, a brunnette druggist, and
three score bona-more or less fide
firemen, and the candidates of the
night.
Lambert Gosling was the candidate.
Advocate Sinnott, representing No. 5
Hose and Brother Gosling put up the
fight of his life, but the weighty ar
guments of Hon." Walter A. Dimick
representing Calumet Hose finally
won out. Lam is now a fireman "de
jure" whatever that i3; but Lam
says it's all right so long as Calumet
treats him right, Lawyer Dimick to
the -contrary notwithstanding. '
Fireman Jack Frost says that thi3
"de jure" business is all right to
those that like it that way, but its
"de goods-' for his. Jack thinks May
or Dimick, and the City Council are
the best ever.
Later on in the night, when Fire
man Jack Frost had become Night
Officer Frost, he unhesitatingly de
clared the affair to be "the event of
his life." In fact, to quote that gal
lant custodian of the peace, "it was
the greatest assemblage of hot air
ever corrugated under one roof." And
J. Frost, Esq., ought to know.
Of course there were speeches.
Who ever heard of a chicken dinner,
or a dinner of any sort without them?
But Cataract Hose Company is gen
erosity itself, and forgave almost as
soon as it forgot. But the artist of
the evening it cannot forget. "Hello"
Moore did the cooking, and long after
the present members of Cataract
Hose have gone to their last and
permanent fire the memory of that
chicken dinner will stay by them.
President W. Croner.was all over
the place. No one was overlooked by
him. The hospitality of the Com
pany could not have been in better
hands. Nevertheless there were
drawbacks. For instance Druggist
Jones had to be fined. In the general
hilarity of the occasion his post
mortem solemnity amounted to a
grave breach of the peace, and he ac
cordingly suffered for it. Mr. Shea
han was fined for "gambling." Had
he been tried by jury no one knows
what might have . happened to him.
Among those present, to copy the so
ciety reporter, were Mayor Dimick,
Hon. Livy Stipp, William Mulvey, J.
P. Lovett, Elward Johnson, John 03
born, William Sheahan and Clint
Black.
Jim Pettit called the music,, and
he had the Philharmonicas skinned a
city block Uncle John Ferguson
played the fiddle, and helped make
the night a big success. Near-Fireman
Bill Trudell danced a three-step

EVANGELIST HITS
CARD
PLAYERS
THEATRE-GOING AND DANCING
ALSO BAD, SAYS
MR. EVANS.
FARMER'S SON BECOMES GAMBLER
"Average Theatre Caters To Lower
Element of Man's Nature," De
clares Evangelist at
Baptist Church.
Rev. J. Bruce Evans, preached on
card playing, theatre going and danc
ing, at the Baptist church Monday
night. Mr. Evans takes a positive
stand relative to these things. He
declared that prohibitions are imprac
tical and hurtful. He said that his
plan in dealing with the question was
not to tell people what is right and
wrong for themselves, but to get the
people to accept Jesus Christ and to
approach the matter from the stand
point of a Christian.
"Cards," said Mr. Evans, "lead to
gambling. For a young man to learn
how to play cards in the home par
lor, quaiines mm 10 enter me gamui
ing den. Many a young man has been
enticed to go into. the gambling den
because he had learned how to play
cards in the home."
As an extreme illustration of the
danger of the card habit he told the
story of a young farmer boy in Ohio
who went to Cincinnati and through
association with companions at the
card table ended his career as a
gambler and suffered arrest and im
prisonment for taking money from the
bank which employed him.
Speaking of the theatre Mr. Evans
said: "It is capable of being made a
center of education, but the average
theatre caters to the lower element
of man's nature. The moving picture
show is not to be condemned whole
sale, but should be kept clean.'
On the dance question Mr. Evans
was unsparing. In the most scathing
language he denounced the public
dance as being prolific of the basest
kind of sensuality and as tending to
degrade the mind.
He spoke of its evils from the stand
point of a man. -
The final appeal consisted in the
dramatization by the speaker of the
eagle which swooped down upon .a
clift of floating ice and devoured a
carcas, and when satisfied undertook
to fly when to its amazement its
talons were frozen fast to the ice and
the eagle went over the falls to its(
destruction. So said Mr. .Evans, the
society gluts itself with sensual pleas
ures and reaches a final permanency
in it greed and goes to an inevitable
destruction.
Tonight Mr. Evans will preach on
the "Unpardonable Sin," and Rev.
Hayworth will baptize several candi
dates who have been converted in the
meetings. .
GIRLS TO BE AIDED
BY WOMAN'S CLUB
Mrs. David Caufield, president o"
the Oregon City Woman's Club has
prepared an interesting program for
the next meeting of the club, Thursday-
afternoon, at the Commercial
Club parlors. This meeting, which
will be on "Scholarship Loan Day,"
has been designated as an "open ses
sion" in order to give women of Ore
gon City who are not members of the
club the privilege of attending and
learning something of the work of the
great movement which is being fost
ered by Woman's Clubs all over the
county. The object of the Scholar
ship Loan Fund is to enable deserv
ing, young women to borrow small
sums of money to complete their edu
cation in various educational institu
tions. The plan in the few years of
its existence has proved to be very
effective and has met with universal
commendation from college presidents.-
Any deserving girl, of any national
ity, or belief will have her applica
tion carefully considered when made
to proper authorities.
Mrs. Robert French, of Portland,
who has made a study of this prob
lem, will be present to give a talk
on the results of her investigations
along this line. - Mrs. French is an
able speaker and will do justice to
the topic under discussion. A soloist
from Portland will also be present to
furnish musical selections and several
local women will present papers. The
business meeting of the club will be
gin at 2 p. m., the program proper
starting at 3 o'clock. All women in
the city who are interested in the ad
vancement of young women are in
vited and urged to be present.
WIFE, SUING, SAVS
SHE SUPPORTED SELF
Alleging that he carouses and has
treated her cruelly Mrs. M. H. Evans
Monday filed suit for divorce from
N. B. Evans. They were married
November 5, 1883, in New York. The
plaintiff avers that for several years
she had to furnish her own clothing
and provide for herself and child. She
asks possession of a piano and silver
ware, which she alleges the defen
dant has, and also the custody of
their child."

DOES
GREAT CITY WORK
PROMOTION DEPARTMENT AIDS
IN BUILDING UP
MUNICIPALITY.
THOUSANDS ARE BROUGHT TO COUNTY
From Twenty-Five to Thirty Persons
. Visit Office Daily Resources
"Of County Are Fully
Shown.
One of the most interesting and im
portant reports made at the Commer
cial Club's annual meeting Saturday
night was that of M. J. Lazelle, sec
retary of the Promotion -Department.
The report follows:
Your committee appointed to have
charge of the publicity work of the
Commercial Club for the year 1911
beg to report as follows:
The work of the year has been very
successful and satisfactory and while
it is difficult to show the definite re
sults of the year's work at the same
time the committee is confident that
the general condition for the advance
ment of our city and county have been
brought about to a great extent; by
the efforts of the Publicity Depart
ment. During the year the secretary has
answered hundreds of letters coming
from those who are seeking homes in
a more favorable climate and whose
opportunities are more plentiful and
more than five thousand inquiries
have received Oregon City booklets
and other descriptive matter of Clack
amas county. While a great many of
these people do not locate in our coun
ty, at the same time we know that
some of them are buying farms in
Clackamas county and are among our
best citizens. The committee does
not know of all of the successes of
their efforts and daily are learning of
those who have located in our county
through the efforts and communica
tions of the department at some prev
ious time.
Since the erection of the Promotion
Office, from 25 to 50 people have visit
ed the place daily. Among these have
been those whe are seeking informa
tion, strangers to the city, local peo
pie and other3 who have found the
office to be a general office of inform
ation. The Promotion Office has ac
commodated the farmers of this coun
ty in such ways as securing help for
them, giving them information and ad
vice as to proper methods of cultivat
ing their land and marketing their
crops. In return for these ifavors
the farmers have supplied the exhibi
tion tables without cost to the
Commercial Club, with the best pro
ducts of the county in the way of
fruit, grain and vegetables. It is the
opinion of your committee that the
Promotion Office has been of more
service to bring the farmers and busi
ness men closer together than any
plan as yet tried in Oregon City.
One of the plans of advertising has
been to send the Eastern people lists
of property for sale in Clackamas
county by reliable dealers in land.
This is very satisfactory and is bring
ing good results.
The Publicity Department conceiv
ed the idea of a city directory for
Oregon City and induced the R. L.
Polk Company to arrange to publish
the same but we regret to recall that
the directory was lost to the city by
the failure of our people to support
the plan.
"The committee wishes to call at
tention to the special edition of the
Oregon City Enterprise which they
gave their assistance to and -mailed
1,000 copies to prospective settlers.
Oregon City has received a great
amount of advertising through the
photographs which have been placed
in the daily papers by the Pubilcity
Department, such as the picture of
Congressman Hawley and the Com
mercial Club party on the steamer N.
R. Lang investigating the location of
the new locks. Pictures of the Paci
fic Highway as it passes through and
near Oregon City have been shown
in the various newspapers and maga
zines all over the United States.
Teh Big Booster Day and Horse
Show held in this city on the twenty
second of April, 1911, was under the
direct management of the Publicity
Department and it has been reliably
stated that there were more people in
Oregon City on this day than at any
time before or after. This affair was
managed so well that the committee
was placed in a financial condition
that made the erection of the Promo
tion Office possible.

PANY EMPLOYES WILL BE

ARMY SAVED FROM DREAD DISEASE
Anti-Toxin More Efficacious Than
That Used in Preventing
Diptheria Strickland
Is Engaged.
To guard against a possible epi
demic of typhoid fever among the em
ployes, W. P. Hawley, president of
the Hawley Pulp & Paper Company,
Monday decided to have all the mill
workers innoculated with the anti
typhoid serum, which has proved so
efficient in the United States Army.
The company has between 250 and
300 employes and it will take more
than a month to innoculate all of
them. - Mr. Hawley has made a
thorough investigation of the merits
of the preventative and he is of the
opinion that it is even far more effi
cacious than vaccination for the pre
vention of smallpox. This will be"fche
first trial of the new serum in the
West, and probably the first in the
United States among factory workers.
Dr. M. C. Strickland, who took a
post-graduate course at ' the Post
Graduate College in New York last
summer, and made a special study of
the typhoid serum and its use, has
been engaged to innoculate the mill
workers. He said that each person
would be given three innoculations .
The second innoculationIs given nine
days after the first one and the third
one eighteen days after the second.
The serum is similar to the anti
toxin used" to prevent diptheria, and
is obtained from horses that have
been innoculated. That to be used
here was received from New York
Monday, and Dr. Strickland will begin
the work of innoculating the factory
employes today. -
"We believe that the typhoid senrm
is more effective in preventing the
disease than the anti-toxin is in pre
venting diptheria," said the physician.
"Out of more than 10,000 troops who
were innoculated in Texas not one
contracted typhoid. The innoculation
make3 the patient immune for at'
least five years, and possibly for life."
Mr. Hawley decided to try the
serum after hearing that there were
several cases of typhoid in the cit
One or two of the employes of the
mill are victims of the disease.

Mount Pleasant Civic Improvement
Club more than three miles of side
walk have been' constructed by this
organization. There is some talk of
extending this sidewalk into the coun

Beaver Creek road. The residents of
Greenwood are planning to build a
walk in that section to join the walk
built by the Mount Pleasant Civic Im
provement Club. The members of the

workers, and have accomplished more
since its organization in the building
up of that part of the county.
