Either Car Delivered at Oregon City at above prices.
wn a Champion Car
It s only human for a man to feel proud of his posessions'
To own something which everyone else recognizes as su
premely desirable helps mightily to make life better worth
living.
Ownership of a motor car confers a distinction of this sort.
But the distinction is infinitely greater when that motor car
belongs to a family that has class, reputation, history.
To own a champion motor car should be the aim of
every wise buyer.
It's pleasant to know that a champion motor car is not
necessarily an expensive one. You can buy an E-M-F "30"
for 1325 or a Flanders "20" for $975.
Each is the champion of its class.
The motoring world is still ringing with the marvellous
feat of the three E-M-F "30" cars that finished one, two,
three in the Tiedeman Trophy race at Savannah the bigg
est event of the year for cars of that class.
The setting of nine new world's marks for the smaller
class by the Flanders "20" at Indianapolis is a speed feat un
ique in the season's records.
You and your friends have
heard time and again of the
triumphs these cars have scor
ed on road, track, and hill.
Among cars of popular price
all over the world they stand
supreme in speed, strength,
safety and stamina.
More convincing still is the
satisfactory service these cars
are doing in the hands of more
than 50,000 owners, all over
the world.
An E-M-F "30" or a Flan
ders "20', is the sort of car
its owner loves to talk about.

ISSUES STATEMENT
The directors of the Clackamas
QrntVioi-Ti Pailrnart Tuesdav issued the
following statement to the stock
holders:
In March 1911 the undersigned
Ware A tori riirpotors of the Clack
amas Southern Railway Company for
the purpose of building a line ot raii
v fmm nreexm Citv to Molalla. and
cheerfully accepted the work assign
ed us, and during the eany pan oi
the year 1911 devoted a large part of
nnf im in hnldine meetings along
the proposed route, and with the as
sistance of a large number oi tne en
terprising citizens of Clackamas coun
ty, who would be effected by the com
pletion of the . line of railway, the
Company, obtained about Eighty
ri nnilars nar value in sub
scriptions, consisting of money, labor
and material to be used in tne cou
strution of the bridges.
r,iT-i7i th vear 1911 there was
completed 10.66 miles of the grade
between Oregon City ana moiuii.
When the autumn rains set in the
directors concluded that they would
not be able to obtain the best results
by working through the wet season
of the vear and therefore suspended
all 'work of grading and only retain
ed in the Company's employ a few
men to look after the filla and ditches
during the wet season, and the engi
ineer and a few helpers, who devoted
their time durng the winter in the
completion of certain enginering fea
tures, and n tying in the established
line to the adjoining property.
The stockholders of the Railway
Company met in the latter part of
1911 and authorized the issuance of
bonds to complete the building of
the road, and while a large amount
of the bonds were subscribed tor
none -of them were delivered as the
directors were fearful of having inter
est charges to meet semi-annually,
which might embarrass the Company
in meeting those obligations, and as
a result the directors conciuueo. xu
the interest of the stockholders would
be better subserved by. sellng addi
tional stock and applying the pro
ceeds to the completion of the line
of railway from Oregon City to" the
Molalla Valley and thereby avoid any
possibility of being embarrassed m
meeting interest payments upon the
bonds. . .
We succeeded in interesting one,
Stephen Carver, who built the Cor
vallis and Asea Railway and also the
Ontario & Vale Railway and after he
carefully examined the teritory
through which the line of the Clacka
mas Southern Railway was being
constructed, informed the board of
directors 'that he considered the pro
position feasible and the territory
far superior to any in the Willamette
Valley for the construction of a line
of railway, on account of rich con
mnnii oPTipiiitnral lands and valua
ble timber belts tributary to the line.
Mr. Carver informed the board of
directors that with the unused sub
scriptions now held by the Company
and an additional Ninety Thousand
Dollars, the road could be- complet
ed and ready for operation from Ore
gon City to the Molalla Valley, and
he then subscribed to the capital
stock in the sum of Forty-five thous
and dollars, on condition that the
Company raise an additional Forty
five thousand dollars, which would
be a sufficient sum to complete the
line from Oregon City to the Molalla
Valley .ready for operation.
The undersigned board of directors
respectfully request every citizen in
terested In the development of Clack
mas County to assist in raising the
required amount of money for the pur
pose of completing the enterprise
which will advance the enterests of
the interior farmer as well as the in
terests of the citizens of Oregon City.
In order to complete the work above
mentioned the capital stock which i3
offered for sale will be delivered up
on the payment of $50.00 per share
until the full amount of the forty-five
thousand dollars has been subscribed.
We feel that by pursuing that
course the interests of all of the
stockholders will be fully protected
cs the Cftnpany will not be compell
ed to meet semi-annual interest
charges on bonds. .

bodice and skirt is of all-over lace
through which shows the underlying

from the left side of the gown in both

ornamented by a pink ostrich plume.
EASTER MILLINERY.
Cavalier Hat With
Feathers at the Side. '
SXW MODEL WITH UNDER BBIM TRIMMING
A Paris milliner this spring has
brought out this cavalier hat, which
has Immediately leaped into favor
because of Its dash and grace. .The
brim rolls back at one- side, and -a
handsome ostrich plume curls over the
edge and touches the cheek.
Linen to Match China.
Quite the newest conceit in decora
tive table linens and sets of doilies Is
an embroidered design in the pattern
and coloring of the china with which
it is to be used. The fabric is a heavy
linen in canvas weave, and the em
broidery is done with mercerized cot
tons. The idea comes from Germany, and
the work is known as Weimar em
broidery. One combination consists of
a china tea set of graceful shape, with
a decoration of radial lines and circles
at the outer end in tiny delft blue dots.
Applied to round tablecloths, center
pieces and doilies, the design Is em
broidered in dots about the size of a
pea, producing one of the most effec
tive decorations imaginable for a com
paratively small outlay. The enlarged
design on the linens allows for a con
ventional motif in the circles, and each
piece has a border of cluny lace.
For a breakfast room, for afternoon
tea or for the country house in sum
mer no more artistic or noved furnish
ings for the table have been introduced.
Satin Suits Again Popular.
For special wear next summer the
woman who likes dainty clothes will
have a coat and skirt suit of satin in
black or some dark shade. The satin
used for these suits is, of course, of
the most beautiful quality, witn a rich
sheen and suppleness and substance of

LOWER ELECTRIC RATE!
As a result of economic methods and the acquirement of additional facilities, the
PORTLAND RAILWAY, LIGHT & POWER COMPANY takes a great deal of pleasure
in announcing to the citizens of Oregon City and the surrounding territory an import
ant reduction in its electric light and power rates. . . '
IMPORTANT
It has been the constant policy of the Company to give good service at reason
:' able rates. The Company is more interested than anybody else in building up a bigger,
busier and better Portland, and it fully recognizes the important influence of low rates
and good service. The new lighting rate is 9, 7 and 4c per kilowatt hour. Details of
' this reduction and the conditions involved can be secured upon application at any of
the Company's offices. Several months will be required to change over the 31,000 ac--
counts which this reduction in lighting rates will affect.. In order that our patrons may
be put to the least possible inconvenience, new contracts will be mailed beginning May
1st. The Company earnestly requests that these be signed, witnessed and returned to
the Company's representative In Oregon City as promptly as possible, thus avoiding
the possibility of waiting in line at the office.

Teaching Mothercraft. -
Miss Eleanor I. Kelley of New York,
speaking in favor of the school for
mothercraft that bas been suggested in
connection with the lecture of Dr. G.
Stanley Hall on the subject, said
that "something is thetnatter with the
college requirements for girls now, and
there is also something radically wrong
with these courses after the girls enter
college. 'Ninety-five per cent of . the
women in -the world marry and have
children or are associated with children
in some professional way. Then why
should not a part of the education be
devoted lo such studies as have to do
with the care and' rearing of children?
Our college curriculum." she said,
"should" include courses in biology, hy
giene, psychology, the home beautiful,
the story telling side of literature, mu
sic and a few other studies that make
women more like women, than they are
now."

OVER SPUD OUTLOOK
The potato outlook is a worry to
growers as well as dealers at this
time. The sharp drop in San Fran
cisco took the wind out of the sails
of the bull movement and most -oi
the buyers quickly quit the field even
after dropping prices about' 25c per
cental.
The situation at the lower price is
much better and healthier than it has
been for some time. There i3 a real
demand, for potatoes at the price now
quoted. Formerly there was more
talk than anything else. Dealers
who have outside connections are
n.ow offering $1.75 per cental for
extra fancy and are taking whatever
is offered at that figure.
Growers are showing more - inclin
ation to let go and if this sentiment
is not changed for awhile the recent
drop in price is probably one of the
best things that could have happen
ed to many growers. Many had not
made up their minds whether to hold
for still higher prices or sell. The
result was that there was a probab
ility that a large per cent of the crop
would be held until too late to ...mar
ket profiitably.
. The lower price brought these in
terests to realize that some definite
stand must be taken and freer selling
has therefore resulted. '' '
Special advices received from the
south state that Washington is sell
ing cheaper than Oregon and, there
fore, much of the demand ia going i
in that direction. The call for seed
from the south, while still quite fair,
is not nearly as good as it was a week
ago.. -; .. ,
