For a Washington Party.
Decorate the house and table witb
red, white and blue and place prints
of George and Martha Washington
where all can see them. To each
guest give a little board and a ball of
putty soft enough to be worked, with
instructions that the busts of George
and Martha Washington are to be
modeled from the putty in a given
time. When the time is np the putty
portraits are to be numbered and
placed on exhibition, and the guests
vote on the best one. .the number re
ceiving the largest number of votes to
determine the prize winner. The hoys
are then given sticks of wood and
jackknives with which to whittle
out hatchets. The girls are given
black paper and scissors with which
to cut silhouettes of Martha Washing
ton. Later the silhouettes of Martha
Washington are auctioned off to tht
boys, and each boy takes to supper the
girl 'who made the Martha Washing
ton which he bid in. He presents his,
wooden hatchet to his Supper partuer.
The supper table is decorated with
patriotic colors, and the menus should
be hatchet shaped. After supper
George and Martha may appear in
costume and hold an old fashioned
White House reception.
The Flag at Trenton.
The flag "that Washington had with
him when he crossed the Delaware tt
attack Trenton" was not the "stiii
and stripes." Washington crossed the
Delaware in December, 177. aud the
stars and stripes did not have an ex
istence until the June of 1777, when
it was voted into being by the con
gress. The flag that waved over Jen
eral Washington on his way to and
from Trenton consisted of thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white, as nt
present, with a blue canton emblazon
ed with the crosses of St George and
St. Andrew, as in the British flag. The
first time the present stars and stripes
were flung to the breeze was on the
day of the battle of Orlskuny. at Fort
Stanwix, Aug. 6, 1777. New York

Washington's Birthday. v
While Feb. 22 must forever be chiefly
associated in the minds" of patriotic
Americans with the birthday of the
Father of His Country, that momen
tous event is not the only one of im
portance recorded under this date in
the annals of history. Nevertheless it
overshadows any of the other incidents
and episodes with which the historian
or the biographer has been called upon
to deal.
Benjamin, Ogle, a lifelong friend of
Washington and governor of Maryland
from 1798 to 1801. was the first to sug
gest the birthday of Washington" as a
holiday.

Story

H-H-M-M-M-H I I-M-M-I-M-M-M'
;Obadiah Lampson's great kitcheu
smelted of frying bacon. - His pretty
niece .and housekeeper. Hope Marshall,
was bending over the fire peering into
a steaming kettle of corn dumplings
At one end of the room was a square'
table covered with a homespun cloth
and set with blue and white china
The windows were wide open, for it
was August, apd : the weather was
warm. There were the buzzing of bees
in the honeysuckle vines outside and
the song of birds from the nearby or
chard. ; ' .-' " ' -
As Hope leaned against the window
sash listening to the bees and birds a
quick : step sounded on the pebbled
path and there came into view Mary
Baldwin, Tenny's mother. The color
deepened -in Hope's cheeks. She had
heard of Tenny's visit home the night
before. " - ' ;-
"Well, Hope, my girl." said; Mrs.
Baldwin briskly as she entered the
room and sank down in. a rush bot
tomed -chair near the open ioor. "din
ner well under way?" ' '
"Yes, Aunt. Mary. Won't you stay
and eat some of my corn dumplings?"
"Not today, thank you. I came to
say that Tenny is home for a few
hours, and we want you to come over
and eat dinner with us. I saw Oba
diali down in the field and bade him
come too."
"I'm afraid Cousin Tenny wouldn't
enjoy it," said Hope coldly. "He
knows my sympathies are not witb
the Continentals."
Dame Baldwin ruffled immediately.
"Not in sympathy, indeed, minx!" she
cried. "What are you but the obedi
ent niece of a Whig?"
"1 am a Tory," was Hope's obstinate
reply. " : '
"Then it pleases me as well that you
do not come, "for my boy. is growing
too fond of you. Mistress Hope Mar-
HIS HAND FIiEW TO HIS SUol
shall. As a Tory maiden I could nev
er make you welcome as my son's
wife." -'
"What, Hope! Not going to dine at
your aunt's?" asked her Uncle Oba
diah sternly as he enteredthe kitchen
"I would rather not. Uncle Oba
diah." pieuJed Hope. .
"What silly excuse have you now?"
Hope's blue eyes lifted reluctantly
until they met his honest gray . ones.
Suddenly her face broke into a smile,
and she kissed him on his ruddj
cheek.
"Please don't ask me to go, uncle."
she pleaded.
Obadiah broke into a chuckle. "Verj
well, Hope, my dear."
Obadiah made a few changes in hia
dress, and, with a grave kiss on the
Hps of his beloved niece and adopted
daughter, he went away. He listened
to Hope's political opinions much as
he'would have looked upon the gam
bol of a playful kitten. Nevertheless,
he was grieved and Incensed at the
girl's obstinacy concerning them. He
believed that it was a veil to hide her
coldness for Tenny Baldwin. -
Hope bolted the back door after his
departure and then sat down to her
delayed dinner.
. All at once she paused and listened.
Up through the orchard came the
pound of horse's feet and in another
moment they were plainly heard in the
back dooryard There came a rap
topon the kitchen door.
Hope went to the window. A horse
man was there, a man wrapped in a
long dark cloak with a dark cocked hat
on his powdered wig.
"Good day. fair mlstressr" he smiled
down at her. "Will you give me a
drink of water and please tell me if I
am on the right road to the camp of
the American army?"- ,.
Hope courtesied and brought the wa
ter in a large glass goblet As he
quaffed It gratefully she thought rap
idly. This man was not of. the Amer
leans; that she could guess by his air
of nobility and grace of manner. He
most be a Britisher perhaps a titled
officer who did not consider if beneath
'
bis rank to spy up. tn. movements
of the enemy. : '- ;:
"I am a Tory," Hofte repeated to her
self, but somehow the words that must
set him on the right road to the ene
my's path would not come to her lips.
The only thing she could think or at
that niomeut was that this stranger
was Tenny Baldwin's enemy.
"I cannot direct you. sir," .she said,
with pale lips.
"That is too bad. fc.r 1 am tired arid
hungry." he said, with a winning
smile. "1 wonder If your Ittrder is quite
empty?" ... . ;
"No. indeed, sir; you are qnit vef
come to the best we have,", assured
Hope, feeling traitorous indeed to eu
tertain the enemy in her uncle's house.
What if Obadiah should return ere the
stranger tfad departed!
"I , must tell you that my uncle is an.
ardent Whig," she said as he dis
mounted. . .
. "So much the betier!" he cried heart
ily and followed the silent Hope into
the. great kitchen. -
While she fried more bacon and bak
ed a johnnycake before the stjll glow
ing coals the stranger, still wrapped in
his cloak despite the heat of the day,
scanned a package of papers with knit
ted brow. V
At last he sat down to the best meal
Hope could prepare at short , notice,
and., having made friends with Wolf,
he ate hungrily. ' . -.
Hope slipped from the room and out
of the little dsed front door. She went
down the road with flying feet and
ran straight into. the arms of her cous
in, Tenny Baldwin, who was strolling
toward her. r . ." - .
' "Well, fair cousin." he cried teasing
ly, subduing the lovelight in his tine
eyes, "have you changed your mind
about dining with us today?"
"No. no. Cousin TennyJ I have eat
en dinner, but 1 have something to ell
you." Hope was breathiag quickly,
and a delicate-color came and went in
her cheeks as she withdrew herself
from his grasp and smoothed her ruf
fled hair. -
'"Coxae ta tell me goodby, Hope?" be
asked gently. "1 may never come
back to bother you." 4; .1; . ! l-.
; "Nay, Tenny; you have never both
ered me," she assured him with a
troubled look in her eyes. "11 you
know I am a Tory at heart." -
There was a quizzical look in his
eyes. -"1 know thou sayest so, Hope."
he said gravely. "I am not afraid of
Tories." . '
"There Is a British officer eating in
onr kitchen this very minute. He
asked me the way to the American
lines, but I wonld not tell htm." .
"Then you are a traitor to your own
cause. Hope."
"Somehow I couldn't tell him that.
Cousin Tenny. And it does not aeem
loyal t Uncle Obadiah and you to en
tertain him there in uncle's house, so
I came to tell you." . -
"Thank you. dear," said Tenny so
berly. "Stay you here. Hope, and tell
my mother I will return shortly." He
hastened nptbe road toward Ohndiah's
house. . -
Hope was after" him in an instant.
"Iam going with -you. Tenny V she
cried, keeping pace with , his rapid
stride. "4.-.
, "But Hope, there may be blood
shed," he protested, touching., his
sword.- .'
"Then you will need me the more,"
she said valiantly, and he made no
further objection.
The stranger's horse still cropped the
grass in the dooryard as Hope led the
way through the front-door. There
was the" tinkle .. of china from the
kitchen.
"He is still there," whispered Hope,
opening the' door into the room the
merest trifle.-
; Tenny Baldwin stood' beside her and
applied his eye to the same crack. He
uttered a sudden exclamation, opened
the door wider and entered the room
boldly. "
The stranger rose quickly, and his
hand flew to 'his sword. His look of
stern inquiry changed to one of pleas
ant recognition as Tenny Baldwin .re
spectfully saluted him. . .
"Ah. Captain Baldwin!" cried the
stranger, holding out his hand.'
"Your excellency!" murmured Tenny
Baldwin, for indeed 1t was the com
mander in chief of the American army.
Hope Marshall" leaned against the
wall in the shadows, half frightened,
half relieved at the situation. As she
listened to the murmur of their voices
and realized that the stranger was
none otheT than ; the great !eneral
Washington, come down to overlook
his forces on Long Island, a revulsion
of feeling came to her. These men.
her Cousin Tenny and ' Washington,
were fighting for their lives, for the
lives of their dear ones, , for liberty,
for ultimate peace. She chided herself
for an ignorant girl a graceless one
indeed to have flung her Tory defi
ance in the faces of her kinspeople.
- At that instant Hope Marshall turn
ed traitor to the Tory cause, and her
traitor heart ' leaped gladly as he
thought that she need offer n oppo
sition to Tenny Baldwin's love. -
Tenny Baldwin bad explained the
Situation to General Washington, and
es they laughed he brought forward
Hope Marshall. t
"This is my fair Tory cousin, your
excellency." he said, smiling gravely.
"Nay. I am no longer n Tory. -your
your excellency." stammered Hope,
her cheeks aflame. "I have turned
traitor to my. own cause." '
"Indeed?" asked the general with a
kind smile as he held her little hand.
"May I ask why you have turned trai

, Involuntarily Hope's eyes turned to
those of her handsome Cousin Tenny.
"Oh. because"- -
'" 'Tis a most proper reason ! teased
the general, discreetly turning his back
while Tenny took swift toll from his
cousin's tender lips. -

THE MAN THAT CARRIES EVERYTHING IN THE AUTO LINE
East Mt. Scott
(By H .W. Kanne.)
As we seldom, or ever, see any
mention of East Mt. Scott, (common
ly known as Happy Hollow), I will
endeavor to show to the readers of
The Enterprise that we are wide
awake, up and doing. "
- We are situated in the northern
part of Clackamas county, nine miles
southeast of Portland's city hall, or
about three miles from the city limits,
on and just over the famous Mt. Scott
hill.
The district comprises about two
square miles, lying partly in the val
ley and partly on the slope of the
hills, by which it is surrounded on
all sides.
The soil is of a black nature, very,
loose, without gravel or - rock, the
hardpan being about four feet down.
It ; is very easy to work when and
cleared and very productive.
Our main crops are fruity potatoes,
hay and grain and each farmer has
from three to five cows. '
The farms consist mostly of from
fifteen to forty acres, with from three
to six acres in berries, such straw
berries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.,
and about a like number of acres in
orchard, mainly cherries, pears, ap
ples and plums and the rest of the
farm under cultivation is devoted to
raising hay, grain potatoes and gard
en truck. '.'
The land is" valued at from $250
to $400 per acre, which is cheaper
than any other place a like distance
from Portland. . ' -
The farms at one time being heavy
timber and brush but were cleared and
built up mostly by their present own
ers, who are a lot of honest, hard
working people, peaceful and law
abiding. We have a fine school, centrally lo
cated, and also a fine church which
is well attended by the community.
We have two main Toads out of the
valley, one leading northwesterly to
Lents and the . other north to what
is known as the Foster road; also
one leading to Sunnyside, one and a
half miles south. .
Our roads are being improved rap
idly and it will be only a matter of a
few years until all of our roads will
be. graveled. We have formed a road
district and so are enabled to help
ourselves in this matter.
Now anyone looking for a nice quiet
place to live can find it here. Come
and investigate before buying else
where. . We can show you as fine a
place to live- as anywhere, a place
where nearly everybody is out of debt,
where everything is tip-top, and every
body making a comfortable living and
then some. - - - '
Come see and be convinced.

NOVEL STEPS TO BE
BIG DANCE FEATURE
Invitations are being issued for a
valentine dancing party to be given
at Busch's Hall, , Wednesday evening (
February 14, by R. V. D. Johnston
and the Philharmonic Orchestra of
this city, which no doubt will be one
of the most enjoyable events ever
given in this city. There will be
many surprises In store for those at
tending. The music, which will be
furnished by a band and orchestra of
forty pieces will no doubt eclipse any-'
thing ever given here. The hall will
be gaily decorated for the occasion as
it. never was before ,and the floor
managers will be well known young
men of this city who will see that all
attending will have "the time of their
lives," even if you are a stranger.
Among the dances to be enjoyed
during the evening will be the Paul
Jones, tag two-step and many other
dances. The ladies will during the
evening have a chance to "get even"
with the men, and will have several
ladies' choices during the eve'ning,
and this is to let the men know how
it feels to be a "wallflower" adorning
the wall. From the present indica
tions there will be no wallflowers as
all those receiving invitations are
planning to attend. There will prob
ably be an even number of. dancers.
R. V. D. Johnston who is probably
the best musical director that Oregon
City has ever had, and the manage
ment of the orchestra and band of this
city is winning for him much praise.
No doubt the musical program for the '
valentine party will be a treat to the
music-loving people of this city, aa
well as those who have been issued
invitations out of the city.
Garage Company Moves.
The Pacific Highway . Garage has
moved to Twelfth and Main streets
from Fifth street near Railroad ave
