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
address will be givenunder the aus
pices of the First Church of Christ
Scientist, of Oregon City. All resi
. dents of the city are invited to attend
and it is assured that the theatre will
be crowded. Mr. Eaton is one of the
most distinguished workers of the
Christian Science cause, and his con
nection with the first church has giv
en him a national reputation.

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. -

Mr. aod Mrs. W. E. Pratt received
a letter from their daughter, Mrs. . J.

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

CONTRACTS LET TO
The Directors of the Clackamas
Southern Railway have entered into
a contract with Archie Mason of Port
land, for the building of the grade and
all the bridges between Oregon City
and Molalla. 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.

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."
