Ill No. 140 SUDDEN ADJOURNMENT OF COM MITTEE GIVES RISE TO MANY RUMORS ROOSEVELT WINS IN MISSOURI Taft Supporters Glad To Take Ad vantage Of Opportunity To Rest Colonel's Friends Happy CHICAGO, June 13. The "Missouri compromise" decision and the unex pected adjournment of the Republican National committee early this after noon brought about a situation full of uncertainty and conflicting rumors which lasted throughout the evening and refused to crystalize into definite form. Explanations traversed a long and varied- scale all the way from the statement that the compromise and sudden adjournment presaged a gen eral getting together of the Taft and Roosevelt factions, to the naive theory that it was to give the convention-carpenters a chance to finish their saw ing and hammering in the neighbor hood of the committee-room. The explanation which best fits the known facts is that the Taft support ers were glad to take advantage of the three or four hours of time saved by the compromise on the Missouri cases go take account of stock and prepare for the big struggle over the Texas .and Washington contests. Roosevelt supporters professed to be greatly elated over the seating of their delegates-at-large from Missouri and said the outcome in the whole Missouri business exceeded their most sanguine hopes. The Taft people, on the other hand, seemed to take the outcome complacently and abated none of their claims on that account. As the members of the committee began to arrive at the Congress Hotel this afternoon from the adjourned meeting, they were surrounded and, pressed for an explanation of the sud den adjournment. Arthur J. Vorys, of Ohio, who had not been present at the meeting, was impressed by the news and at once sought out Senator Crane. The Senator allayed Mr. Vorys' apprehension by suggesting that the committee adjourned to give attorn eys time to prepare other cases. Sen ator Borah, of Idaho, said he did not know the reason for the sudden ad journment and said it was at the re quest of Senator Crane. SCIENTIST TO SPEAK Clarence C. Eaton, member of the board of lectureship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston will speak at the Shively Theatre at 3 o'clock next Sunday afternoon.

The surface of the Willamette was driven into tossing counter swells by motorboats that thronged about as the marine pageant passed up through the open ed draws, and, countermarching,, drift ed away once more, amid a blaze of rred fire into the lower harbor from which it had come. Long before dark the people began to assemble, choosing vantage points. Bridges were clustered with solid masss of people. The searchlights of the Maryland skipped along the river spectators on docks and banks near the Broadway bridge buttresses. - Horse was king in this afternoon's parade. Under brightening skies, the decor ated horse and vehicle parade of the Rose Festival made its triumphal way over the streets of Portland. The promise of a great parade was kept in a grater realization. The par ticipation of the navy and army rep resented by companies from thfe Mary land under command of Lieutenant Calhoun, and Bottery A, of the Ore gon National Guard, gave the parade national significance. The platoons, from Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane added to the Portland features, make it an all northwest event. The finest horses of the Pacific coast, the most elegant equipages, the most elaborate of floral decorations, made the brilliant pageant a dream of beauty It was a parade of powerful appeal to lovers of fine horses. The grace of the best bred carriage horses was supplemented by the weight and pow er of the great draft animals entered in the work horse' section. The val ue of the horses and equipment is placed at between $3,000,000 and $5, 000,000 and other Pacific coast cities are challenged to excel if they can. Comedy was supplied by the Ad In dians of Spokane, the Potlach Bugs of Seattle and the tigerish splendor o? the Montamara float from Tacoma. The doubt as to whether the sail ors from the Maryland, dressed in un iforms used today for the first time, would come into the parade was dis pelled when the weather became fair er and the rain kept away. The four companies commanded by Lieuten ant Calhoun made an Imposing ap pearance, as did the well drilled bat tery A of the O. N. G. The entries from the fire depart ment compelled applause from the great" crowds on the streets and grandstands. The valauble horses and carriages of J. D. Farrel, presi dent of the O.-W. R. & N. campany made a show in themselves. ROSES GATHERED FOR PARADE NOT USED Several of the most prominent resi dents of this city are indignant over the failure of men representing them selves to be members of Battery A, Oregon National Guard, Portland, to call for roses which they : ordered. They came here Wednesday morning and ordered the flowers saying they were to be used in decorating the cannon and horses in the automobile parade. They said they would return in an automobile in the afternoon and get the flowers. As a result large numbers of the handsomest blossoms in the city were plucked and placed in boxes. There was no other use to which they could be put, and, as a re sult, the roses are a total loss. The men when they ordered the flowers said that the cannon and horses would be decorated by the wives and daughters of members Qf the comp any. ... "We are willing to do all we can to aid the Rose Show in Portland, even to the extent of injuring the appear ance of our yards and gardens." said one woman, "but we do not appre ciate treatment of this kind, and next year m roses are ordered the men must act in good faith. - WEE K L Y E NTERPRIS E ESTABLISHED I 36 6 OREGON CITY, by American Press Association.

OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE HOPE ANEW! WISNERS DELIGHTED WITH SOUTH AMERICA Mr. aod Mrs. W. E. Pratt received a letter from their daughter, Mrs. . J. N .AVisner, of Punta Del Este, Uru guay, South America, Thursday in which the South American country was described at length. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Wisner and son, Nelson, left here January 10, the former hav ing obtained a position as director, of the government fish hatcheries at Montivldio. Mrs. Wisner and son are visiting at a resort, near Montividia, where they will spend the winter which commen ces May 1 and continues until Decem ber l."She writes that there are on ly fifty Americans in the city. So far, Mrs. Wisner writes, the only Amer ican product she has been able to ob tain, is a sewing machine. She says that a popcorn wagon in charge of an American and his wife is a novelty and a big money maker. Spanish is the language spoken mostly only one of the clerks in the postoffice at Mont- lvidio being able to speak English. Mr. and Mrs. Wisner are studying Spanish and can make themselves un derstood in most places. Montividio and the resorts are not ed for their beauty. The flowers are gorgeous, especialy the dahlies and chrysanthemums, but the roses are not as large as those grown in Ore gon. Mrs.- Wisner says help is easily ob tained in South America. The wages of house servant is $15. per month without board. Books are scarce and high. A magazine selling here for 15 cents a copy retails there at $1.25 a copy. The weather Mrs. Wisner says has been delightful, but with the winter season starting there will be stormy weather for several months. The Wisner family is enjoying the best of health, and although delighted with their new home like Oregon best Woman Sues For Horse Clara Bent, through Attorneys U'Ren & Schuebel, Thursday filed suit against L.

The contract provides that the work shall be completed by September 1 Mr. Mason is moving his construc tion equipment on the line as rapidly as possible and has sublet a large part of the work. , Stephen Carver will look after the purchasing of the steel and is pro curing some valuable contracts which will insure a heavy tonage over the road, immediately upon its comple tion. The directors allege that the man agement of the Southern Pacific is doing all in its power to hamper the construction of the road. They point to the franchise obtained by the Southern Pacific for the Portland, Eu gene & Eastern Railroad through the streets of Canby and reports that have been circulated that actual con struction from Canby to Molalla has been started In any event the Clackamas South ern will be built, the contract has been let and the contractors are on the ground and actively engaged in con struction work.

Of the mouldering epitaph. When Charles Hamilton Musgrove, a struggling newspaper reporter, wrote the lines quoted above down there in Kentucky he little thought that they might apply to something do ing, or long done, way out in Oregon, "Where rolls the Oregon and hears no sound save its own dashings. Yet the dead are there." Down in Gladstone Thursday Glad stone, that city virtually made by H. E. Cross ,who many years ago was the best baseball catcher in all these parts, and is today one of the best lawyers hereabouts ,the bones of a race, about exterminated, were un covered. They were digging a ditch in the good town of Gladstone hi which to lay pipes for water, for Glad stone is soon to have a modern water system, when they came upon the bones of men and women, who once owned this whole country. Gladstone in fact was once a graveyard for the Clackamas Indians. 0. E. Freytag told a reporter of the Morning Enter prise that his home on Arlington street and Chicago avenue had once been part of a exeat Indian cemetery. He said that several years ago wnen he spaded the ground for a garden he found the skeletons of many of the braves of the long ago. He found rare beads, and many other trinkets of the tribes that owned the land. The men digging Thursday for the water plant found the skeleton of a giant. The man must have been more than seven feet tall. But he died. And then the skeltons of women and children were found. All of them lay in the same plat, and all of them had been something once. However, there were no tombstones or anything like that, and these aborigines, who died thought they were going to sleep for a long time. It is doubtful If they thought their bones would be disturb ed. At any rate they did not erect tombstones to point them out And somehow the whole thing recalls those lines of Mrr Musgrove, one may think of them as he may The dead in their gravestones laugh As they read between the "born" and the "died" Of the mouldering epitaph."
