Manager Dillon, of the Angels, says that his team is far from being in its best condition owing to encounter ing so much bad weather, but has hops of making a good start adding that he has the best pitching staff in the circuit.

On April J5 some one will, again win a $15 merchandise coupon redeemable at one of the mer cantile establishments in this city. Miss McCord won one last Saturday evening which was redeemable at J. Levitt's popular store. With the sale which is n progress at that store, during which so many usual bargains are offered, she was undoubtedly able to get considerably more .than face value for her certificate. The gorgeous display of automobiles which made Main street one continual swirl of dust all day Sunday, amde the poor, puffing, perspiring pedestrians wish for machines so that they could outdistance the awful germ laden swirl which surrounded them. A nice car would have given each an oppor tunity to have spent the day on the mossy banks of one of Clackamas County's many fine trout streams contemplating what might have hap pened ft the trout season had opened one day sooner. Days so spent not in such possibly sad contemplations but in the woods, next to nature and where we all feel free vto enjoy ourselves, will be a God send to many of us before the summer is over. Of course, we can't all have them but some one crowd or family .depending upon who wins the Enterprise automobile will have many happy and enjoyable trips of such kind. And it is a safe bet to say that they will all be appreciated. Never before has such a prize been offered in. a newspaper contest in this locality as is now offered by the Enter prise. Once several years ago, the Enterprise had another contest on, the prize for which was to be a jar of money amounting to approximately $100. One day this jar was left un guarded in the front office for a few minutes when it mysteriously disap peared. Of course this is ancient his tory now, but -is repeated here merely as a means of comparison. -We are not afraid that the prize now offered will be stolen and the lucky candidate does not need worry after it becomes his or her property. They aresome times appropriated for a few hours but are usually recovered in a mighty short time. GORBETT HENS LAY.: - EGGS BIG AS PEARS W. 3. Gorbett, a prominent farmer and poultry fancier of Bolton, and son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gorbett, of this city, has some fine Black Min orca hens which are making laying records. During the past few days these chickens have laid unusually large eggs some of them measurng 8 inches lengthwise,' and 6 inches in circumference, ' the weight of sev eral being four ounces. cents each Main 3041 MINISTERS LAUDED BY IE. HEDGES LAWYER, HOWEVER, DECLARES THERE ARE SOME UNWORTHY ONES IN PULPIT CHRISTIAN CHARACTER IS GROWING Conquest Of World Certain To Be Made By Church Workers Judge Moreland Will Be Next Speaker J. E. Hedges, who spoke in the op en forum of the Methodist church Sunday night on "What is the Matter with Preachers," said that for the most part they were all right. He de scribed the work the church is ac complishing in spreading civilization, and declared that much of the glory for it belonged to the ministers. The attendance was large and the speak er was given the closest attention. Dr. T. B.. Ford, pastor of the church, announced that there would be elab orate Easter services nexiNgunday and that on the following Sunday Judge Moreland, clerk of the Supreme Court, and G. F. Johnson, of Portland, would be the Open Forum speakers. Mr. Hedges spoke in part as follows: "My subject. 'What is the matter with the preachers?' is chosen by your pastor for me, and I confess that I am somewhat embarrassed when I, a lawyer, who has given much of my time for twenty years to the practice of that profession, am asked to go ; into, the realm of another and judge! whether or not there is something ! wrong with the members of that oth- j er. j If I were to apply the question to any one of many great.men I have ! heard, my answer to you would be , short.and my best judgement would j requre me to answer 'nothing.' As J examples, I have heard Dr. Wright, L. Moody, Dr. Phillips Brooks, Dr. Timothy Dwight and Bi3hop Potter, and if they only were the ones to con sider in preparing an answer to the queston' my answer of a single word would conclude my talk to you and we might be dismissed. "But there are others. As God. can send a nation or people no greater blessing than to give then! faithful, sincere and upright ministers, so the greatest curse that God can possibly send upon a people in this world is to give them over to blind, unregen erate, carnal, lukeworm and unskill ful guides. And yet, in all ages, we find there have been many wolves in sheep's clothing, many who have pro phesied smoother things than God did allow. As it was formerly, so it is now, there are many who corrupt the word of God and deal deceitfully with it. It was so in the prophet Jer emiah's time ,and he from time to time raised his voice against them. He accused them of several crmes, particularly he accused them of cov etousness. For says he in chapter VI; Verse XIII, "From the heart of them even unto the greatest of them, everyone is given to covetousness ; and from the prophet even unto the priest, everyone doeth falsely."

Hvde Is Second Man To Hum X- spite Reverses Holds On With each a game to his credit and no defeats against him John Fairclough, Dr. G. L, Jenkins and Gil bert L. Hedges are leading the big Commercial Club billiard tournament. Jenkins Fairclough and Hedges played like well regulated machines Monday night and their opponents did not have a "look in." Jenkins put R. L. Holman out of the running', Hedges i eliminated Willie Hoppe Parker and Fairclough sent the Morning Enter prise aspirant back to the minors. All the victories were clean cut and the best men unquestionably won. Albeit they have a long and rocky path . before them and. there is no telling what will happen. Dr. Clyde Mount was another man who suffered a set back Monday night V. R. Hyde led him by a score of 50 to 40. Dr. Mount, however, still has a chance for the game wall be 100 points. Dr. Mount also Sias an un finished game to play with Joseph Justin, wno is leading. While G. L. Hedges won from Willie Hoppe Park er he faces probable defeat at the hands of W. Stokes who led at the end of the first half by a large marg in. - Pete Long easily disposed of L. A. Smith, the game being one sided from the start. Smith had everything in the stage fright line and nothing that appertains to billiards while Long, though a young man played like a vet eran. While Smith usually is in the same class with Long, something was wrong with him Monday night, and his friends called that something "ner vousness." Hyde played cautiously throughout, and. made some of the most startling shots of the tourna ment. No shot was too difficult for him, and some of those that counted almost took the big audience from its feet. Mr. Hyde clearly demon strated that he will be a contender at the finish! ARE OPEN AT NIGHT To give the millworkers an oppor tunity to register, County Clerk Mul vey Monday announced that the reg istration books would be kept open until 7:30 o'clock in the evening all this week. Mr. Mulvey says the reg istration is a little above the aver age and he believes will go above that of last year by several hundred.

DISCORD PRECEDES FINE PARK CONCERT 'STANDING ROOM ONLY" IS WEL COME GIVEN OREGON CITY BAND MUSICIANS TURN BENCH MAKERS Crowd Refuses To Vacate Seats For Men Who Are To Furnish Enter tainment Players Laugh At Incident An amusing circumstance which came near being serious marked the first park concert, which was given Sunday afternoon by the Oregon City Band. New benches had been placed in the park for the benefit of the aud ience, but the attendants forgot to put seats in the bandstand for the use of the musicians. As a result when R. V. D. Johnston, the director, Dr.-Clyde Mount, B. T. McBain and the other soloists and members of the organization arrived they found nothing upon which to sit. Finally Mr. Johnston asked several of the members of the audience if they would not allow the use of the benches they were occupying for the musicians, but no one would move. They declared that they had come early to obtain seatsand did not propose to give them up. "But you won't hear any music if the band has to stand up," argued the director. Th's plea, however, was not effect ive, and finally seats were improvised of planks and stones for the band while the audience occupied the com fortable new benches. The players accepted the situation with good erace, and the concert was such ,a success that the city council will be called -upon to arrange for concerts in the park each Sunday afternoon the coming summer. Persons who heard Sunday's con cert speak in the highest terms of the musical organization. The. pro gram, was enjoyed hy a large crowd many of whom were from outside of the city. The following numbers were given: 1. "Nibelungen March," Wagner 2. "Selections from Grand Opera," Buffoni 3. "Piccolo Concert Polka," Roecker. 4. "Ballade," Chopin. 5. Duet from two cornets, Dr. Clyde Mount and L. Moehnke, Levi 6. "Descriptive Fantasia (Napoleon)" Proctor. 7. "Patrol," "The Blue and the Gray" Gray.

'i ney ih'- li ihrot- woeks ago - Patch, who is a miner, arrived in this city Sunday night and told the Policemen of his quest. He said he had traced his wife and Norwich to this city. When shown a photograph of the missing woman Policeman Frost said he had seen her. A search was made and she, Norwich and the childrenytfere traced to the house on John Quincy Adams street. When told that she was under arrest Mrs. Patch broke down and sobbed like a child. Norwich did not say a word. They were taken before Recorder Stipp who held the man fn $500 bonds for a hearing this afternoon. Mrs. Patch was allowed her freedom o her own recognizance. Patch declares that Norwich stole $1,340 before eloping with his wife.1 The husband says $40 of the money j was taken from him. According to his story Norwich wasf a boarder at hi3 home. He says he noticed about ' a month ago that the boarder was I paying undue attentions to -his wife, ! but thought he would await develop- j ments, end before he made any re-j monstrance the pair with his three i children had eloped. He refused to divulge how he learned they had come to Oregon City, but when he obtained the information he started for this city at once. - - . It was upon the husband's request that Recorder Stipp agreed to let Mrs. Patch go on her own recognizance. The youngest child who is a boy, is only nine months old. The other chil dren are girls, one being four and the other five years of age'. After her ar rest, Mrs. Patch said she was sorry she had left her husband ,and it is probable if he will not take her back, she will return with him to Illinois. 1SI0N TO BE DISCUSSED TONIGHT A delegation of forty members of the Estacada Commercial Club will meet with the Oregon City Commer cial Club ths evening regarding the proposition to divide Clackamas County. Several residents of the Es tacada district are said to be in fav or of division and to make Estacada the county seat of the new county. It is contended hy them that their sec tion of the county has not received its share of the road fund, but" this, the records of the county prove er roneous. In fact it is contended that that section.of the county has receiv ed more than its pro rata of the road fund on several occasions. The meet ing was called at the suggestion of the Estacada Commercial Club; which is anxious to obtain the facts. Before the meeting the Live Wires will have their weekly luncheon. r iWnw stronar are von erolner in the support of your candidate in the En terprise automobile contest?

The water front at Oswego was searched by the sheriffs last night, but the man wa3 not captured. The steamer Pomona which arrived in this city Monday afternoon and went from here to Portland also was searched for the suspect. It is now the belief of the authorities that the mot ive of the desperado was jiot robbery, but revenge, and that the young men who were killed were victims of mis- . taken identity.
