CONDITION NOT THOUGHT SERIOUS
Announcement Made After Candidate
for President Is Given Rebuke
at the Newspapermen's
Banquet. -
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Senator
LaFollette, on the verge of a physical
breakdown, has canceled all his speak
ing engagements for the next two
weeks at Trenton, Jersey City and
elsewhere and will seek complete
rest.
Chairman Houser, of the ''progres
sive' Republican campaign committee,
in charge of Senator LaFollette's
campaign for president, tonight gave
out the following statement in regard
to the senator's physical condition:
"In addition to the senator's official
work, which in view of the pending
trust and tariff legislation' in which
he is intensely interested, has made
a severe draught upon his strength
and energy. The campaign work and
strain upon his nervous system inci
dent to the necessity of a critical
surgical operation upon one of his
children simply overtaxed even his al
most superhuman powers of endur
ance. "For some time his friends have
urged upon him the necessity for a
temporary and absolute rest. They
at last have prevailed upon him to
yield to their solicitations, and he fin
ally has canceled his speaking engage
ments for the next two weeks, and
will drop all work to take a complete
rest.
"I want to assure his friends
throughout the country that there is
nothing alarming in his condition. As
above stated, he reached and over
stepped the limit of human endur
ance. "Senator LaFollette has worked
unremittingly for years without rest
or vacation, having remained in Wash
ington all summer, working from 12
to 18 hours a day. No man could in
definitely bear such overdraught on-4
his strength. His physicians assure
him that a short rest will fully restore
his health."
Don C. Seitz, who acted as toast
master at the banquet last night of
the American Publishers Association,
rebuked Senator LaFollette for his
utterances attacking newspapers, and
today in an interview added further
censure. LaFollette did not conclude
his speech until the early morning
hours. The 600 diners were yawning
after he had spoken two hours.
Toastmaster Seitz, however, aroused
them to interest by saying:
"I shall not attempt, nor have I
the time to come to the defense of the
newspapers, which have just been
foolishly, wickedly and untruthfully
assailed."
'TWILL BE TAFT AND
BRYAN, SAYS HOCH
EUGENE, Or., Feb. 3 "Taft will
be the Republican nominee, and Bry
an Democracy's candidate," declared
ex-Governor Hoch, of Kansas, talking
with a group of ex-Kansans here to
day, prior to addressing a Lyceum
course' tonight.
'If Roosevelt were out of the game,
LaFollette wohld have a fighting
chance, I believe, but since these men
hate each other as they do, there is
no chance for their getting together
and Taft will be the convention's
choice."
The ex-Governors picking of Bryan
was -rather unexpected, but -he gave
his reasons, saying:
"Bryan is going to stampede the
Baltimore convention. With Wilson
and Harmon and Folk or Clark in the
running, it will be absolutely impossi
ble for the convention to nominate on
the first ballot, and Bryan will be the
Solution of the deadlock.'
Mr. Hoch, while being in sympathy
with Wilson, believes the New Jersey
man has injured his cause by the dis
agreement with Colonel Harvey.

M. J. Lee, of Canby, secretary and
manager of the Canby Canal Com
pany, who was in the city Saturday,
said that the construction of the high
line canal from Mill Creek had been

300 cubic feet of water each second

low line canal, completed several
months ago, furnishes water for 3,000
acres. The cost of the water is from

thousand acres of land and the en
tire cost will be at least $500,000.

W JAMES BUILDS
HANDSOME BUNGALOW
One of the most attractive and mod-:
em bungalows In Oregon City is the
home of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. James at
Twelfth and John Adams Streets. The
house was planned by Mrs. James,
and has every comfort and conven
ience. The residence was erected by
George Schultze, but the interior was
the work of Mr. James himself, who
displayed artistic taste in the arrange
ment of the rooms. A veranda 10x25
feet adorns the front, and from this
opens a vestibule. To the left of the
living room is a den with casement
windows. The living room and din
ing room, which are separated by a
handsome archway are well lighted,
and have a dimension of 32x12 feet.
An unique stairway leads from the
second floor into the living room, one
side of which completes ths archway
between the two rooms. In the living
room are built-in book cases, while in
the dining room will be a handsome
built-in buffet and china closet. One
of the attractive features of the din
ing room is a revolving door, and cm
one side of which is a cupboard and
folding table, while on the other side
is the beaver board. Plate rails are
placed on both sides of the room. The
woodwork of these rooms as well as
of the sleeping apartments are in mis
sion. The furniture of the living,
room is the handiwork of Mr. James.
It includes a davenport, chairs, rock
ers and table, these being in mission
and harmonizing with the tinting of
the walls and the woodwork. The
walls are of pearl gray, and the ceil
ing is white. Leaded glass windows
are used in both living and dining
rooms. The kitchen is 12x12 feet, and
is finished in the natural fir, with the
walls tinted a pale green. At the rear
of th& kitchen, opening from a hall
way is a bathroom, which is in white,
and also the entrance to the basement.
On the second floor are three sleeping
apartments, lavatory and storeroom,
while on the east side is a sleeping
porch, the dimensions of which are
9x18 feet

MISS HUNTLEY WINS
LAURELS AS
The recital given by Miss Louise
Huntley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.
A. Huntley, of this city, in Portland
Friday evening at Eiler's Music Hall,
was one of the most delightful music
als ever given in Portland, and was
attended by many of the young pian
ist's friends of this city and Portland.
Miss Huntley was presented with
many beautiful flowers. Her program
was well selected, and every number
showed much careful study, and was
rendered in a most artistic manner.
There is no doubt that Miss Huntley
has a great future before her as a
pianist and her friends, who had the
pleasure of attending Friday night's
musical were proud of her.
SYCAMORE TEAM WINS.
The basket ball teams of Damascus
and Sycamore played an exciting
game at Sycamore Friday -evening at
Grange Hall. The admission fee was
15 cents, and there was a large at
tendance. Much enthusiasm was man
ifested and the boys on both sides
were cheered by their friends. At
the close of the game the score was
14 to 18 in favor of Sycamore. H.
Hoffman, of this city, played with the
Sycamore team.

PHILHARMONIC BAND GIVES PROGRAM
Scenes From Various Parts of County
Shown on Canvas Exhibitors
Delighted Over Success
of the Show.
Saturday, night, February 3, 1912,
will be marked in the diary of the Or
egon City Commercial Club as the
close of the first big Poultry Show
ever held in Oregon City. But it also
will be remembered for the practical
benefits the show brought to Oregon
City.
Of course the prizes were merely
nominal. The men with birds on ex
hibition were not after the financial
value of the awards, so much as for
the honor that went with them. But
that is the way with all poultry shows.
In one respect, however, the Oregon
City show differed from the average,
and that was in the general acquies
cence of the exhibitors in the justice
of the judges awards. Not a single
proest was recorded.
T. J. Gary superintendent of the
county schools, delivered a lecture, il
lustrated with stereopticon views, and
M. J. Lazelle also lectured. Scenes
from Clackamas County and other
parts of the state were shown on the
canvas. Another feature was the con
cert of the Philharmonic Band, under
the direction of R. V. D. Johnston.
The attendance was larger than that
of Friday night, but it was a totally
differentcrowd. It was Oregon City
on holiday bent; divided between a
natural curiosity to see what a poult
ry show looked like, and to hear the
Philharmonic Band, so mysteriously
sprung' upon an unsuspecting public
on the opening night. Mayor Dimick,
Postmaster Randall, Judges Campbell
and Beatie, in fact, the bigwigs gen
erally, of the social, political and
church life of the city were all in evi
dence at one time or another during
the evening.
The awards, which were given in
correctly in the Morning Enterprise of
Saturday, through a misunderstand
ing, were ,as follows :

Bad shoes are not always to

by bad shoes. The ill

plead guilty to much
foot murder.
A stocking too tight
in the foot may choke
the circulation, bind the

shoe to feel too small. A stocking too thin may bring you a
blister from shoes that would not rub if the stocking were fitted
right. A darned stocking makes a corn, a seamed stocking
irritates the sole of the foot. Above all, if the dye in the stock
