OF OLYMPIAD GAMES
STOCKHOLM, July 15. The last
day of the track and field sports in
the stadium brought no sensation.
The games reached their clumination
in the marathon. The curtain falls
on the Olympic with the United
States well in front in the total points
in all sports to date and with a sweep
ing victory in the field and track
events, which for years have consti
tuted the program at meetings in Am
erica and Great Britain and to which
athletics these nations devote their
energies.
The bestowal of all the prizes by
the King, who placed laurel wreaths
on the heads of the victors and shook
hands with all the winners, took place
today in the stadium. The American
team led the march of triumphant ath
letes who were arrayed before the
King.
RATES TO G. A. R.
The Southern Pacific Railroad has
announced that a one third fare to
persons attending the Grand Army
Reunion at Los Angeles September 9
to September 14 will be charged. The
sale dates of tickets will be Septem
ber 5, 6 and 7. The tickets will be
good for sixty days from date of sale
with stop-over privileges in either di
rection. It is thought that several
resiidents of Oregon City will attend
the reunion which probably will be
the last one held in a coast city for
several years.
PAH OIL IS
FOUND IN STONE WELL
A committee of oil experts and sev
eral Oregon City residents, including
Dr. Stuart, S. F. Scripture and Louis
Vierhaus examined the oil well at
Stone Sunday. The experts found
that large quantities of parafine oil,
worth from ?3 to $6 a barrel were be
ing produced. Joseph Hempling, who
has been employed as driller, inform
ed the committee that he had drilled
beyond the drill that was broken oft
in the well and he did not expect any
more trouble. The promoters are
still confident that oil in paying quan
tities will be round.

BIG MEETING

Fred Emerson Brooks and Lou J.
Beauchamp were veteran lecturers
that delighted a large audience at the
Chautauqua Monday afternoon and ev
ening. Both are famous talkers and
have been on the American lecture
platform for twenty-five years. For
the last fifteen years the two have
been intimate friends though they had
not seen each other since about 1902,
and their meeting Monday morning
when Mr. Brooks appeared on the
grounds, was a most joyful occasion
for both of the distinguished men.
They whacked each other across the
back and frolicked over the grounds
like ten-year old boys, and each oc
cupied the front seat in the auditor
ium as the other addressed tne cnau-
tauqua crowd, and stalked off the
grounds arm in arm at the conclusion
of the day s program.
Beauchamp appeared at the forum
hour in an address to about 600 per
sons, along temperance lines. At 2
p. m. Fred Emerson Brooks gave his
lecture-recital, reading his orginal
poems and interspersing a little hu
mor, a little pathos, and lots of good
common sense philosophy. Brooks is
great and struck a most popular tone
with the 2500 persons, who had gatn
ered to hear the famous Californian.
His readings, "Old Ace," "Dot Good
for Nodings Dog," "The Whistling
Bay" and his "Ode to California,"
which incidently has been selected as
the official poem for the Panama Ex
position at San Francisco, proved
most popular. Mr. Brooks appears
again Thursday afternoon, which Is to
be patriotic day, and in his recital
will give his "Pickett's Charge," a
reading for which he is widely re
nowned.
Lou J. Beauchamp is the oldest lec
turer on the American platform. His
lectures, however, have lost none of
the fire of early youth, and Weryone
of the 3000 who heard him Monday
evening in his great lecture, "Take
the Sunny Side" went away feeling
better. He has a rapid-fire of funny
anecdotes that hits his hearers in a
regular fusilade and he threw off
more genuine optimisim In an hour
and fifteen minutes than most men
could unloose in ten years. He held
the closest attention of any speaker
yet appearing on the Chautauqua
stage. His underlying idea was an
appreciation of the many good things
in this old world, and his sunshiny
talk was one of the delights of the
session.
"Equal Suffrage" occupied the hour
from 4 to 5; Mrs. Wallace Unrugh,
state president of the W. C. T. U. and
Mrs. M. L. T. Hidden, both speaking
before a large assembly of the women
on the burning issue of enfranchise
ment for women.
Never before has the Chautauqua
music been so satisfactory as for the
1912 session. Professor Chapman's
daily orchestra concert, with solos by
wel known Portland vocalists has
created much favorable comment.
Mrs. Pauline Miller Chap
man sang most beautifully, Teresa
Del Riego'B "O Dry Those Tears,' pre
ceding Mr. Brook's appearance, and
at the morning sessions, Miss Caro
line Lowengardt gave the "Gloria" by
Buzzia-Peccia, and also Whepley's
"The Nightingale Has a Harp of Gold"
Preceding Beauchamp's evening lec
.ture Mr. Edward Livingston's popular
rendition of "The Palms" for cornet
arrangement, was enthusiastically re
ceived. Prof. Chapman's orchestra
now numbers fifteen pieces.
In connection with the popular lec
tures of Eva Emery Dye on the sub
ject of "Oregon History" almost one
hundred Chautauqua visitors who have
become extremely interested in her
talks, visited the old historic spots
about Oregon City, Saturday after
noon and Sunday. The tourists were
in personal charge of Mrs. Dye and
among the other historic spots visited
the graves of John McLouehlin and
his Indian wife, early pioneers whose
remains are at rest in the heart of the
picturesque old town. The museum
was also visited by the history stud
ents. Not to be outdone by its sister col
lege whose headquarters are directly
across the street, Willamette Univer
sity will have its own day on Thurs
day next, following the Pacific Univer
sity celebration on the grounds Wed
nesday. The latter University will
feature a glee club concert on their
date and students and alumni fronv
all over the Willamette Valley are
gathering for the occasion. Sturdy
old Willamette, however, has secured
the forum hour at 11 a. m. for an ad
dress by E. H. Todd, vice-president of
the institution on the subject: "The
Coming Citizen," and the announce
ment of his appearance will prove a
big drawing card for Willamette stu
dents land alumni. In addition "Pat
riotic Day" will be observed on this
date, and all old veterans wearing the
little brown button, will be admitted
free of charge to hear Rev. Father J.
M, Cleary on "American Citizenship,"
and Fred Emerson Brooks in his sec
ond recital.
Almost 35 ministers of the srosnel
and some 250 others listened to Rev-
bpurgeon's talk on "Some Church
Problems of Today."

clever timely slugging, they trimmed

soon as he is able to make the trip.
Information was received Monday
morning by Barton Barlow
from his mother that his father was
dangerously ill and he was urged to
hurry to Newport. Mr. Barlow receiv
ed the telegram too late to leave on
the morning train, but he left in the ev
ening. A telegram received late Mon
day night gave the information that
Mr. Barlow's condition was somewhat
improved. Mr. and Mrs. Barlow went
to Newport several days ago to spend
their vacation. His health then was
excellent.
MAN COLLAPSES IN
EFFORT TO SAVE HOME
During the absence Sunday of Frank
Kellogg and family, who lived on
Twelfth street near Taylor, their
home was destroyed by fire, and only
the clothing worn by them a piano and
library stand were saved. Mrs. Kel
logg and children were at church
when Mr. Kellogg hearing something
after his chickens in the rear yard
started for them leaving an oil stove
burning on a porch. He had been
gone only a short time when he heard
some of his neighbors call out, "Kel-
logg's house is on fire." Mr. Kel
logg started for his home and in doing
so fell over a log, being stunned for
several minutes. Upon reaching his
home he collapsed from exhaustion,
and was unconscious for about four
hours. An alarm was sounded and
neighbors hurried to the scene, al
though the residence at that time was
a mass of flames. The fire depart
ment arrived too late to save the
bulilding. As the streets leading to
the house are steep ,and the firemen
were obliged to pull the hose carts
they were nearly exhausted upon their
arrival.
Mr. Kellogg and family are occupy
ing a tent. There are six little chil
dren in the family. It is thought that
the, stove exploded and ignited a can
of coal oil causing the fire.
W. S. U'REN, PEEVED,
QUITS CHAUTAUQUA
Charles Edward Russell, the well-
known editor and economist, lectured
to one of the largest audiences in the
history of the Chautauqua Sunday
night. His subject, "Soldiers of the
Common Good," was ably handled and
made a great impression. Mr. Rus
sell was to have spoken in the after
noon, but the train upon which he
arrived in Portland was late, and Lou
J. Beauchamp lectured in his stead-
When Beauchamp began speaking W.
S. U'Ren jumped into the limelight
and demanded of the" management
why Russell had not appeared. Jones,
the platform manager, explained that
Russell had been delayed but would
be on hand in the evening. This did
not satisfy U'Ren and several Social
ists from Portland, and they started
to leave. Secretary Cross explained
that the possibility of a change in the
program had been announced several
times and that the failure of Russell
to appear was no fault of the man
agement. He said, however, that all
persons who desired their money
back could have it by applying at the
gate. Nineteen took advantage of the
offer. U'Ren was of the departing
party.
The program started with the sum-
ber school at 8:11 o'clock' Beauchamp
lectured on "New Ideas - on an Old
Subject" in the Chautauqua forum at
11 o clock.

LAWYER AMENDS COMPLAINT
AND ASKS COURT FOR $10,000
- DAMAGES
SCHNOERR ADVERTISEMENT QUOTED
Newspaper's Lawyers Move That
Parts of Complaint Be Stricken
Out Decision Expected
Soon
Chris Schuebel, of the law firm of
U'Ren & Schuebel, has filed an amend
ed complaint in his suit for $10,000
damages against the Morning Enter
prise alleging libel. The Enterprise
several days before the last primary
published an advertisement of Gustav
Schnoerr, Vice President of the Ger
man Societies of Oregon and Presi
dent of the Deutsche Verein of Clack
amas County, which displeased Mr.
Schuebel, he and Mr. Schnoerr being
candidates for the Republican nomin
ation for representative. A demur
rer to the original complaint was sus
tained by Judge Campbell, the plaint-
ifE being given leave to amend. The
Enterprise is represented by George
C. Brownell and J. E. Hedges and the
plaintiff by C. D. & D. C. Latourette
and W. S. U'Ren. The amended com
plaint in part follows:
"That certain parts of said article
so written, signed and published to
wit: " 'Neither can I understand how a
person (meaning plaintiff) can afford
to spend hundreds of dollars for the
small recompensation he can honest
ly get if elected to the legislature.
" 'Mr. Schuebel (Meaning plaintiff)
tries to make his - audience believe
that the 'interests' or certain parties
have 'bought me.' Be not deceived!
Not I, but he has been bought, if signs
fail not, and because he is used to be
ing bought and sold, as everybody
knows, he made an effort to buy me
in my own house. This happened
March 31, 1912.
" 'Whether they want politicians
and demagogues (meaning plaintiff)
who seek only their own honor and
welfare, who trample on the rights
and honor of their fellowmen and who
are the cause that our political life is
as corrupt as it is.'
"That defendant by such publica
tion intended by the first clause to
charge and did charge plaintiff with
spending hundreds of dollars unlaw
fully and in violation of the law of the
state, and intended by the second to
charge the plaintiff with being guilty
of the crime of bribery, and intended
by the third clause to charge and did
charge plaintiff as an attorney ana
candidate for the office of representa
tive in the legislative assembly in the
state of Oregon from the representa
tive district comprising Clackamas
County, with being dishonest and cor
rupt and as having a design to secure
his election to said office by dishonest
and unlawful means for the purpose
of corrupting political life."
Attorneys Brownell and Hedges
Monday filed a motion to strike out
certain clauses of the amended peti
tion, which probably will be passed
upon by Judge Campbel the latter
part of this week.

Oregon Engineering And Construc
tion Company Called Upon To
Finish Work on Twelfth
Street
The city council, at a meeting Mon
day evening, passed an ordinance reg
ulating the speed of automobiles in
the city, maximum rate being ten
miles an hour. A motion that an
amendment be made to the ordinance
providing that the speed might be in
creased to fifteen miles an hour go
ing up hills was not acted upon.
Councilman Meyer, President of the
board, occupied the chair until the ar
rival of Mayor Dimick. The council
men present were Tooze, Horton, Al
bright, Meyer, Roake and Pope.
Tooze announced that the improve
ment of Twelfth street by the Oregon
Engineering & Construction Company
had not been completed. He said the
unfinished portion was between Main
and Water streets, and that it should
have been completed before July 31,
1911. J. W. Moffatt, of the Oregon
Engineering & Construction Company
said the work would be finished at
once. However, the council will con
sider it at the next meeting.
At the requets of the mayor a mo
tion by Tooze that a special officer be
named to enforce the automobile ordi
nance will be acted upon at a later
meeting. It was suggested by the
councilman that the officer be paid
from the fines collected, and in case
of no fine be paid 1 for each arrest.
It was suggested that the man be sup
plied with a motorcycle and a stop
watch.
A motion that bids for hardsurfac
ing Main street from Moss to theAb
ernethy Bridge be advertised for at
once, and opened within two weeks
was carried. All manufacturers of
hard surface pavement are invited to
submit bids.
City Engineer Montgomery was in
structed to prepare plans and speci
fications for the improvement of Sev
enth Street from Singer Hill to Jack
son street for both hardsurface and
macadam pavement. A decision as to
which pavement will be used will be
made later. It was decided to pro-.
vide sewers on Monroe street between
Tenth and Eleventh before the comple
tion of the improvement of the street.
The committee on fire reported in
favor of the purchase of 350 feet of
hose and a reel for Fifth street The
committee was instructed to investi
gate the cost of reels and hose for
two or three other places now diffi
cult to reach by the fire companies.
Tooze reported that the telephone
poles had not been painted as provid
ed for by ordinance and that poles of
less than the required height were be
ing planted in several places. The
companies will be notified to obey the
ordinance.
