"Christianity an Business" is one

DAIRYING URGED BY

Dr. James Withycombe, director of
the Oregon Experimental Station,
Mayor Dimick and O. D. Eby deliver
ed addresses at the courthouse, dur
ing the booster celebration Saturday.
Dr. Withycombe advocated dairying
in this county, declaring that a ton
of wheat sold for $35 while a ton of
butted fat is worth $750. He called
attention to the fact that cattle not
only do not hurt land, but improve it
while grain gradually takes away the
fertility of the soil. He declared that
there were 762,000 acres of land in
this county which should be under
cultivation, and that land values
throughout the county would increase
to from $200 to $400 an. acre in a
few years. The speaker urged his
hearers to purchase land as an in
vestment. Mayor Dimick and Mr. Eby spoke
upon the possibilities of the Clacka
mas Southern Railway. They de
clared that almost enough money had
been raised to build and equip the
road from this city to Molalla, and
that subscriptions were being receiv
ed daily. Mayor Dimick said the
road probably would be put into op
eration without a dollar's indebted-

While Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Nash
were chatting with friends Thursday
at their home on Aber Heights they
were startled by an explosion in the

one shriek of tin pans, horns and
cowbells, as a reminder that twenty
years ago Mr. and Mrs. Nash listen
ed to a charivari.
The revelers were invited by the
hostess to come in and make merry.
The bride was presented with an en
gagement ring, the huge diamond in
which put the famous Kohinoor to
shame. Promptly at 9 o'clock the
! bridal party entered to the strains
of a two-step, played by Miss Alice
Bailey. ' The bride wore a veil of mos
quito netting, held in place by apple
blossoms and carried a shower bou
quet of white lilacs. The bride was
given away by R. D. Wilson. A Mas
sive ring of brass was borne on a
soft pillow by Mrs. George Hankins.
Mrs. Thomas U. Randall acted as a
flower girl, while the bridesmaids
were Mrs. William Andresen and Mrs.
Elerd Bailey. The bridegroom wore
corduroys and slippers. Mr. Bert
Roake was Jtest man. The bride
threw her boquet, and it was caught
by Mrs. William Andresen. '
A Haviland tea set was presented
to Mr. and Mrs. Nash in behalf of the
guests, the presentation speech being
made by Rev. E. A. Smith and which
! was graciously accepted by Mr. and

The contest manager is disappoint
ed over the showings, or aather lack
of showings, made by the contestants
in the great automobile contest Sat
urday. Although" it is known that
several of the contestants have thous
ands of votes in reserve they made
no effort to poll them yesterday and
take advantage of the double vote of
fer. Probably they think a similar
offer will be made in the future
maybe it will and malbe it will not,
and if it is not somebody is going
to be a big loser.
The manager does not want to-
scold. In fact he is a genial fellow,
and his face is usually wreathed in
smiles. But Saturday afternoon when
the candidates did not put in appear
ance and take advantage of the un
precedented offer to boost their
standings his face took on a scowl,
no not a scowl, but rather a look of
disappointment. He could not under
stand the -apparent lack of interest,
or failure to take advantage of a
great opportunity on the part of the
entrants. Surely a $785 Ford touring
car is worth having. Why there were
more Fords in the big automobile pa
rade Saturday than all other makes
of cars. Surely the candidates would
ike to win the automobile. The man
ager reasoned with himself, however,
and came to the conclusion that the
contestants were so interested in the
booster day festivities that they neg
lected to work, and decided to wait
for another double vote offer to poll
their reserve ballots.
Surely , the second pnze $100 in
gold is worth working ror. ir you
don't think you can win the first go
after the second one. It will more
than pay you for your laDor. ine
better plan, however, is to set your
minfl on winning the automoDiie, anc
it n rival beats you out you have the
money, which will go a long way to
ward soothing you ruffled spirit Get
busy and win the auto or the second
prize, and your friends will think all
the more of you.
The contest has been a great suc
cess but it should set a record that
will not be equaled for years. The
prizes are the biggest ever onerea iu
the county,

Captain of Mount Temple Denounces
As "Most -Unwise" Action
Of Commander X)f
T Big Liner
WASHINGTON, April 27. Failure
to give her exact position, a great
field of floating ice that offered a
frigid barrier to ships hurrying to the
rescue and the mistake of . her .capt
ain in rushing at top speed through
an ice-covered sea combined to send
the Titanic and her 1600 victims to
their watery grave in the North At
lantic according to testimony today
before the Senate committee investi-
gating the ocean tragedy.
Captain James, H. Moore, of the
steamer Mount Temple, which hur
ried to the Titanic in resDonse to
wireless calls for help, told of the
great stretch of field ice which held
him off. Within his view from the
bridge he discerned, he said, another
strange steamer, Sprobably a "tramp"
and a schooner which was making
her way out of the-ice.
Captain Moore denounced as "most
unwise" the action of the Tltanie's
commander in rushing at 21 knots
through the night when he had been
advised of the ice. The Mount Tem
ple's commander testified -that he had
spent 27 years in the North Atlantic.
Whenever ice was found, he said, he
doubled his watch and reduced his
speed. If he happened to get caught
in an ice pack he stopped his engines
and drifted until he was clear.
The witness was also emphatic in
his assertion that the position sent
out by the Titanic was wrong. He
said the ship was eight miles further
eastward than its operators report
ed. -This, he said, he proved by ob
servations the first thing on the day
following the disaster. v

A mlsceellaneous shower was ex

at Mount Pleasant - Friday afternoon
in honor of her approaching marriage

The bride-elect was presented with

came to Oregon about a year ago
with her parents. During - her resi

day Crowd
One of the most successful Booster
Day celebrations ever observed in
Oregon City was that Saturday, when
thousands of persons of various parts
of the county and Portland were here.
Everybody was in good humor, and
the weather was ideal. The ice
cream, peanut stands and ' all the
merchants of the city did a rushing
business, and it was necessary in all
cases to have extra clerks to wait on
the customers. Many of the mer
chants had on special sales and gave
souvenirs to the visitors. Many
flags were raised on the buildings and
everything presented a "Fourth of
July" appearance. Long before 9
oclock the wagons and carriages and
automobiles carrying passengers be
gan arriving in the city. The-stables
were filled and many of the horses
were titd to hitching posts and even
these were at a premium.
M. J. Lazelle, who had charge of
the arrangements is deserving of
much of the credit for the manner
in which the program was carried out
during the day. Last year and the
year previously Carnival companies
jvere engaged but it was decided to
dispense with these attractions this
year.
(Among the attractions were the op
en air concerts given by three bands,
the Philharmonic Band under the di
rection of R. V. D. Johnston, Oak
Grove Girls' Band under the direction
of L. E. Armstrong and Professor
York, leader, and the Falls City Band
under the direction of Charles Scho
enheinz. The music was the best
that has, ever been given in Oregon
City, and the players were generous
in responding to encores, of which
there were many. The latest two
steps, ragtimes were .hugely apprect
ated by ths large throngs of people.

the attractions, as weel as the demon
stration cartom the Oregon Agri
cultural College, which was in charge
of Professor Dryden. who has been in
charge of the poultry department of
that institution for the past four and
one half years." Before being engag
ed by the Oregon Agricutural College
Mr. Dryden was a professor in col
leges in Utah and Montana. He is
a man of experience. He was assist
ed by C. C. Lamb, foreman of the
poultry department, and student C.
M. Wilcox and H. Morgernstern.
These young men are taking a special
course in poultry raising. There are
forty-four students taking the special
course, but during the winter, when
many of ' the farmers' sons can be
spared from their homes the number
of students is increased to more than
100. The demonstration car, since
starting out three weeks ago in South
ern Oregon, has been visited by 15,
000 Dersons. all of whom were shown
! every courtesy by the men in charge,
j Western Oregon has been visited, the
; car remaining in each town or city
!for half a day, and more than fifty
' Dlaces have been visited. The car
left for Portland and from that city
will be transferred on the West Side
visiting Sherwood, Newberg, and
many of the cities and towns in that
section.
. The poultry exhibit in the demon
sration car gave to the public an idea
of the excellent work that is bring
done at the experimental station at ,
the Oregon Agricultural Colleger
Some of the finest breeds of ehick
ens, which were mostly of the White
Leghorn and Plymouth Rocks, of
which the College is making a spe
cialty, were on exhibition. One pen
contained a White Leghorn hen,
which laid 100 eggs in twelve months,
and another of the same breed, and
of the pame size having a record of .
230 eggs in the same length of time.
Other tens contained Barred Plym
outh Rocks, one of which produced
forty-four eggs in twelve months, and
another 201 in twelve months. The
highest average is 259 eggs for one
year, this being the champion hen
of the United States, and is still at
the experimental station of the Col- '
lege, while the lowest is six eggs in
one year. A Light Brahma cock,
which was loaned by Edward Shear
er, of- Milwaukie; and White Wyan
dottes loaned by B. Lee Paget of Oak
Grfove, were also on exhibition in this
car, and a pair of Rhode Island Reds
loaned by Howard Keim, of Newberg
It is the effort of this College to breed
for the chickens producing two ounce
eegs and a record of 200 per year.
Charts on exhibition showed that
some of the hens had the following re
cord during the year: 259, the high
est; 213, 219, 257, 240, and as low as
six.. -
