COMMERCIAL CLUB ALIVE
Although the summer weather
makes people think more of shady
nooks., peace and Quietude than busi
ness, the Commercial Club of Oregon
City is very much alive to the possi
bilities which the various railroad ac
tivities mean not alone to the West
Side but to Oregon City itself. If the
reports proved to be facta Oregon
City may be a side track over which
no through trains will travel. The
club will consider the matter at a
special meeting Tuesday night, July
23, at which time the locks on the
west s'de will receive attention, there
being a rumor that negotiations are
pending awaiting correction of title
which may hold the matter over an
other year. It is hoped that a large
crowd will be out and something of
material benefit result.
PUBLIC LIBRARY
The committee in charge of nego
tiations with Hon. Andrew Carnegie
is having considerable trouble getting
Mr. Carnegie's Secretary thoroughly
satisfied with the plans. Final changes
have been made and it is hoped that
the next time word is received the
funds will be available. The commit
tee has put in many weeks of work
on thes-e plans fine plans have been
submitted and a very short while from
now the Oregon City Library Associa
tion will be in its new home.
CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN
Work on the Clackamas Southern
is being rapidly carried to completion,
Contractors have large crews on the
grade work and the bridges will soon
be ready for the steel. Teams and
men are arriving daily and before
winter trains will be in operation to
Molalla, tapping a new but rich dis
trict without robbing any present road
of its revenue. Thanks to a few Ore
gon City citizens, who have given tneir
undivided attention to this project.
STEFFENS TELLS
DRAMATIC STORY
(Continued from page 1)
the most dramatic recitals of the traiL
He was permitted to tell his story
with few interruptions, Judge Hutton,
nowever, explaining that certain por
tions of the testimony - must be re
- garded as hearsay.
Steffens declared that after working
for days along Darrow's demand that
no one be "killed," he received infor
mation through 0; F. Brant, the man
selected to put the plea-revision plan
to District Attorney Fredericks, that
Fredericks would be satisfied with
pleas of guilty by both men, and would
not demand the death of James B.
CUB
McNamara, the man who had planted
the dynamite that" destroyed the Times
building and took 21 lives. This was
on November 23, 1911, he testified. Im
mediately Darrow telegraphed to Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, asking that
an accredited representative be sent
to Los Angeles to consider a matter
of the utmost importance. He sug
gested Olaf T. Tveitmoe, Anton Jo
hannsen or Edward W. Nockels of Chi
cago. "There was some good natured ban
tering among us," Steff ens said, "as
to which probably would be made the
goat. Darrow declared that he did not
care what the result to himself would
be, as his plain duty in this case was
to save the life of J. B. McNamara if
he could."
Soon after this, Steffens testified,
Harry Chandler, business manager of
the Times, reported that General Otis
proprietor of that, newspaper, receiv
ed a telegram from the National Erect
ors' association protesting against
the proposed settlement, particularly
against the dismissal of the charges
against John McNamara. This was
followed, he said, by his personal sec
ret understanding with Darrow that
John McNamara might plead guilty, if
necessary. The consent of. the Mc
Namaras, he said, was given Novem
ber 26, two days before the arrest of
Bert Franklin for bribery.
The witness then told of a meeting
of the so-called citizens' committee
with members of . which the settle
ment had been discussed, after the
Franklin arrest. The members, he de
clared, were astounded that bribery
should have been resorted to, but aft
er discussion decided to go ahead
with their plans. Many prominent iron
manufacturers and business men of
Los Angeles attended this meeting
Former United States Senator Frank
P. Flint, Stoddard Jess, then presi
dent of the State Bankers' association
Mayor Lissner and E. T. Earl, he tes
tified were present. Steffens declared
he made his plan for settlement to
this committee, which finally agreed
that there should be no interference
with the plans of the district attorney
should he decide to act.
Steffens' testimony is summarized
in the statement that he testified that
Darrow agreed on November 25 to per
mit John McNamara to plead guilty.
The following day the consent of the
prisoner was obtained. This was two
days before the arrest of Franklin for
bribery. One fact was noted that will
make it more difficult for the prosecu
tion to attack his testimony. Steffens
declared that no other person, with
one exception of Judge Cyrus McNutt
associate defense counsel for the Mc
Namaras, knew of Darrow's consent
at that time. Judge McNutt is dead,
and the testimony of Steffens and Dar
row must stand alone on that point.
SUFFRAGETTES TRY
S3
TO KILL PREMIER
DUBLIN, July 19. Eight suffraget
tes were arrested today charged with
complicity in the plot last night to
burn the Theatre Royal, where Prem
ier Asquith spoke tonight. Gunpowder
petroleum and other inflammables
were found in their lodgings.
The authorities are investigating
whether the suffragettes plotted to dy
namite or to burn the theatre; and
whether the eight women under ar
rest acted independently or had or
ganized support.
All the prisoners are English wom
en. It is believed that the woman
who threw a blazing chair from a box
in the Theatre Royal last night is
among thase arrested. Another of the
eight is the woman who threw a hat
chet at Asquith as he rode to the
Gresham hotel after his arrival here
from London.
The person of the premier is being
carefully guarded. The police believe
that the prisoners came here to start
a disturbance and a demonstration of
violence which would far overshadow
any of the window smashing and
riotings recently conducted by suffra
gettes in London.

Public sales of dairy stock will be
a big feature of the Pacific Interna
tional Dairy Show to be held at the
Portland Union Stockyards November
18-23. The directors have decided to
hold two and one-half days of public
sales, allowing dairy cattle from all
parts of the world to be sold.
The directors have decided to offer
$6,000 for prizes and trophies. No entry
fee will be charged for cattle placed
in competition, and admission to the
show will be free. Those interested
in developing the dairy industry will
bear the expense and the individuals
in charge of the arrangements will do
nate their services.
Dairy cattle from the states west
of. the Rocky Mountains and from
British Columbia will be eligible for
entry. In addition to dairy . stock,
there will be exhibits illustrating all
phases of the dairy industry and mod
ern utensils and machinery. Milk and
cream, with the proper methods- of
bottling and handling will be shown,
as well as all their products includ
ing butter and cheese. An interesting
feature of the show will be the stud
ents' judging contest in which stud
ents from the agricultural colleges in
the various western states will par
ticipate. B. H. Rawl, of Washington, D. C,
chief of the dairy division, Bureau of
Animal Industry, has just been in
Portland and is giving the proposed
snow his full support. He believes
the coming show will do a great deal
toward raising the standard of dairy
cattle in this section of the countrj

son -were in the garden the house
caught fire and burned down in a few
minutes. The origin of the fire is un
known as there had been no fire in the
stove since noon. Mr. Allen did not
carry any insurance so the house was
a total loss. Only three chairs and
a desk were saved besides the cloth
ing they wore. Mrs. Allen lost some
valuable keepsakes. An alarm was
phoned in and every man available,
went, but could not save anything.
The piano was taken out, and ten feet
away but it was too hot to handle and
had to burn with the rest of the furn
iture. Mrs. Myra Moody left Sunday for

KEEP BEAUTIFUL
III Health, the Great Destroyer
Beauty. A Talk to Women
of
To keep beautiful, keep well. Don't
neglect any symptom of ill health. Hot
weather brings extra fatigue, throw
ing extra work on the blood and kid
neys on all organs. One of the
weaker ones begins to falter. It needs
attention, that it may be healed and
that its influence may not spread to
other organs.
A loss of appetite, sleeplessness, be
coming, too easily tired, nervousness,
dizziness, a blotchy or sallow com
plexion, indigestion, losing weight
you know the symptoms. The trouble
is, you are too liable to neglect when
one appears. Get at it at once. Health
and beauty are worth preserving. Neg
lect may ruin both. Lose health and
beauty goes with it. Cosmetics will
not bring it back. The only way to
get beauty and keep it is to get and
keep health.

HOP MARKET STRONG
IN THIS SECTION
The strength of the hop market in
Oregon is increasing, and it is amus
ing to see the divers methods the
shorts are applying in their mad rush
to cover. Twenty-one cents a pound
is being freely offered for contracts,
and- some business has been done at
this figure with a nominal amount of
ordinary stuff at 20ic. The price
holds readily between these figures.
With only 340 bales of 1911s in the
state of Oregon and-Washington, the
situation in the spot market is excel
lent, with buyers freely bidding 25c to
28c a pcund, according to quality.
Foreign interests are becoming very
much interested in the hop situation -
at this time. They are in the market
for botn spots, and contracts and are
said to be offering the limit. Stocks
of old hops in Oregon are but 140
bales, and in Washington 200 bales.
California has about 4000 bales left,
most of these being the former pool,
which are said to be on the market for
several cents above the price at pres
ent available.
Hop crop conditions in Oregon are
somewhat better. The hot weather is
killing the lice, and honey dew, which
was quite severe a week ar so ago,
is showing a much improved situation
Ten days of hot weather will clean
the yards of vermin.
