TO BE IN
"SAP" LATOURETTE AND WAL
LACE CAUFIELD WILL PLAY
TOMORROW
BOTH ARE HEROS OF MANY BATTLES
Large Crowd From Oregon City Ex
pected to Attend Struggle Be
tween Varsity and Mult
nomah Men
With two Oregon City boys in the
battle, and with two more who former
ly lived in this city, it is expected
that a large crowd from this city will
attend the big football game at Port
land tomorrow afternoon at Multno
mah field, when the University of Ore
gon eleven will meet the Multnomah
Club for their annual struggle. "Sap"
Latourette and Wallace Caufield, sons
of Oregon City's pioneer bankers, will
participate and Parsons, half back
and Grout, tackle on the University
eleven, both of whom formerly lived
here, will be in the great conflict.
"Sap", hero of a hundred hard
fought gridiron battles, will play with
the clubmen, against his former team
mates, whose weaknesses, strong
points, and characteristics, he knows
like a book. Way down in his heart,
the famous Oregon spirit has a great
big cinch on "Sap", and while anxious
to get in the game, as he has played
but little since graduation, he would
naturally prefer just a wee1 bit to
display his remarkable football prow
ess against others than his old
friends. He played for four years
with the Oregon eleven and won an
enviable reputation as the greatest
quarterback in the Northwest during
his career. He was the directing gen
eral in all of Oregon's big successes
during the past four seasons.
Young Caufield is playing his first
year as a regular "center" for the
university eleven, and his accurate
passing has been a remarkable fea
ture of the Eugene game this season.
He participated in the game at Cor
vallis Saturday, and his clever work
while not of the spectacular order,
was noticed by those who realize the
responsibilities of the position.
Johnny Parsons, who was the hero
of the Eugene-O. A. C. duel last Sat
urday, resided in Oregon City several
years ago. His father, Rev. John
Parsons, still has interests here, but
is now an active minister at Fairfield,
Alaska. Grout, Oregon's tackle, was
also formerly an Oregon City boy, so
all in all, the mill town will probably
be well represented at the big game
Thursday.
The game promises to be one of
the best ever played between the
University and the Club men. Ore
gon's remarkable strength displayed
in the Albany game Saturday last, has
boosted her chances of defeating Mult
nomah's all-star eleven. Flushed with
three victories in as- many years, the
older players of the Portland aggrega
tion believe they have the edge on
the college lads, by about one or two
touchdowns It is safe to say that if
the Eugene team plays with the spirit
that characterized their work last Sat
urday, the clubmen will be given the
surprise of the season

RAILS BEING LAID
SHIPMENTS OF STEEL ARE MADE
IN SEVEN MILE INSTALL
MENTS DIRECTORS PUSHING WORK ON ROAD
Clackamas Southern Will Provide
Route for Farmers to Bring Pro
uce to Market Road Built "
by Independent Company
The first shipment of steel rails for
the Clackamas Southern Railroad ar
rived in Oregon City Tuesday and the
same will be laid down immediately,
so as to place the first division of the
road in operation between Oregon
City and Beaver Creek.
The rails have been provided for
so that shipments will be made in
seven mile installments, the total dis
tance being thirty-two miles.
The crossings for the Southern Pa- j
cific and the two tracks of the Port-,
land Railway, Light & Power Com:
pany in the north end of the city, !
were made in Seattle, and will arrive
m Oregon City today. The switch
connecting the Clackamas Southern
with the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company has been put in and
is now being extended up through block
Thirteen (13), so as to allow the
Clackamas Southern switch room of
its own for the storage of its rails as
they arrive in the city.
The company has enough money
subscribed at Mt. Angel, Monitor and
other points along the line to complete
the grade and the bridges from Bea
ver Creek to Mount Angel, and the
only funds which the company is com
pelled to raise in addition is for the
laying of the steel and ballasting the
track.
It will require about $10,000 to lay
and ballast the track between Oregon
City and Beaver Creek and the com
pany is asking the people of Oregon
City to assist in that work. The com
pany cannot use the money subscribed
for grades and bridges for the laying
down and . ballasting of that part of
the road between Oregon City and
Beaver Creek, as their subscription con
tracts provide that the fundsheretofore
subscribed shall be used for grades and
bridges between Oregon City and
Mount Angel. j
The directors of the Clackamas
Southern have devoted a great deal
of time to this work without compen-j
sation and they have accomplished a '
great deal more than the average cit- j
izen ever expected.
BY CLACKAMAS R.R.
This is an independent road which
is being built and financed by inde
pendent capital, and it goes to show
what can be accomplished in a com
munity when an enterprise is support
ed by those who will reap the greatest
benefits.
It is true that antagonistic compan
ies have fought this road from incep
tion, and in doing so they have dem
onstrated that they did not want an
independent company to enter any
territory claimed by them.
As a matter of fact the enhance
ment of the value of real property

Miss Curran Declares that School
Rooms Should Have More Light,
Heat and Best Ventila
tion The second day's meeting of the
Teachers' Institute was even more in
teresting than the first. Sessions
were held morning, afternoon and ev
ening. The morning session began with
music, led by Mrs. Anna S. Hayes,
who is instructor in singing in sever-:
al schools in Clackamas County. Ala
bama Brenton lectured upon "Draw
ing of Objects", illustrating her ad
dress with rapid crayon work at th3
blackboard. In the afternoon Miss
Brenton lectured to the Primary Di
vision of the Institute upon "Nature
Study", again using the crayon. i
Mamie Fulkerson of Salem and Miss
Montgomery of the Eastham school,
Oregon City, spoke upon "Writing"
before the Primary and Intermediate
Divisions respectively.
Arthur H. Chamberlain introduced
some progressive plans in his address
upon "The Teacher of Geography", i
He pointed out that formerly geogra-1
phy was the study of the earth as the
home of man, but that now it is the
study of man's environment. Consid
ering it from this viewpoint, useful
material can be gathered, not from
text books alone, but from magazines,
advertisements, railroad booklets, and
the illustrated booklets of commercial
clubs. Geography is called the "sick
subject" of the curriculum, whereas
it should be the most fascinating and
vital and may be made so when prop
erly presented. Children are likely
to get distorted impressions of topo
graphy, from, the ordinary text books.
Excursions form one of the best
means of making geography pleasant
and luminous. Teachers ought fre
quently to take the classes out upon
these study excursions.
Margaret Craig Curran, Deputy
State Superintendent of Washington,
spoke upon "Heat, Light and Ventila
tion in- the School Room" A room
that is not properly ventilated cannot
be properly heated for the reason that
if a good circulation is not going on
dead air will accumulate in certain
parts of the room. Good work can
not be expected if pupils who are too
warm, too cold or starved for fresh
air. The real value of the school de
pends largely upon these three items,
heat, light and ventilation.
Mamie Fulkerson spoke before the
Intermediate Division upon "Lan
guage". Her wide 'and successful ex
perience enable her to present good
material.
Miss Lena Ulen of Clalrmont school
sang a number of solos in a delightful
-manner and with rare exvression.
Mr. Chamberlain closed the day
with an address upon "The Meaning

' dates
Oregon City, historic capital of the
greatest state, in the northwest, home
of the famous "Father of Oregon"
Dr. John McLoughlin has a new dis
tinction thrust upon it. This beauti
ful city by the Falls of the Willamette,
famed in history and story, and mora
famed in commercial records, is the
first city in Oregon to have a woman
candidate for mayor. She is Mrs.
Kate L.. Newton, long a resident of
Oregon City, and a fighter for the
rights of all such as only women can
be. Mrs. Newton has had her peti
tions circulated. They have been sign
ed by numerous citizens. She expects
to be elected. And more than that,
she says when she finds herself pre
siding over the council, she will find
herself acing in ESe interest of all the
people. Mrs. Newton is perfectly sin
cere in this political business and she
has strong backing.
ODnoseri to Mrs NTpwtnn ia T.i
Jones, than whom there is no finer
or no better male citizen anywhere. -He
has served the city well in the
bUls of the state legislature, and, if
Mrs. Newton does not defeat him, will
serve the city well as mayor. Mr.
Jones is capable, affable, accommodat
ing. The mayor of Oregon City is
necessarily accommodating, for his
daily, weekly, monthly, yearly sti-t
pend, if placed anywhere on the led
ger is placed on the left side. Mr.
Jones also expects to be elected, but
with all his political experience to
say nothing of his political acumen,
he realizes he has a race before him.
The Oregon City suffragettes, while
not militant, are mobolizing, contra
dictory as the term may seem.
The time for filing petitions closes
at noon today, and after that no mat
ter what political ambition an Oregon
Cityite may have he will have, to
wait about a year before offering
himself as a victim to the electorate.
There are other candidates besides
Mr. Jones and Mrs Newton. Morti
mer D. Latourette, scion of a histor
ic banking family, of course is the
onliy candidate for city treasurer.
Mr. Latourette has served the city so
well, ana been, so inadequately re
warded for his most efficient service,
that no other man or woman for
purely selfish reasons would dare op
pose him.
George Randall, who owns a big
slice of Oregon City real estate, and
two or three ranches in the county
near the city and Fred Metzner, who
next to the owners, knows about all
that is going on at the Oregon City
Manufacturing Company, are candi
dates for councilmen in the first ward.
- W. A. Long, a firefighter of renown,
and Joseph D. Renner are candidates
for councilman in the . second ward
for the long term, and Del Hart and
L. P. Horton, present councilman, are
candidates for the unexpired term of
F. A. Burk.
F. J. Meyer seeks reelection in
Ward 3. Mr. Meyer is president of
the present council and is regarded as
one of the leaders. -.He is opposed by
W. C. Greaves and Frank Betzold.
