tendent, and one of the most success
ful and well known educators of the
state, has been offered the presidency
of a normal school that is soon to be
established in Portland, and is at
present condisering the opportunity
for advancement thus acorded him.
The salary of the new position, it is
understood, is greatly in exces of

For the past 18 or 20 years Mr.

in Oregon educational circles, and in
work devoted to the upbuilding of the
state and the constructive use of its
resources. He is now serving his sec

an appointee. Before entering upon
his duties for the county here, Mr.
Gary was principal of the Milwaukie
school, and also served in similar
capacity at the Willamette and 'West
Oregon City schools.
Mr. Gary is also well known as a
former secretary of the Willamette
Valley stock association, and as. an

bers of Party, who Suspect
Bunco Game
There really ought to be names in
this story, but the people concerned
say that if their names are printed
there will be murder committed, so
in the interests of peace and safety
the names are left out. The facts
are as follows:
Tuesday four prominent business
men of Oregon City went fishing.
They went to a place where tiey
knew they could catch good fish, and
in course of time, they managed to
land two excellent salmon. Then
they continued fishing.
While they were continuing, an of
ficial looking person rowed down
stream in a boat, and coming opposite
the anglers, pulled ashore and looked
over their catch.
"Got a license,'' he asked.
The fcur men promptly showed
their licenses. '
The official looking person rubbed
his hand over his chin. "I don't see
any salmon license among your pa
pers," he drawled.
The four business men looked crest
fallen, and said they didn't know that
a special salmon license was neces
sary . The official looking person
frowned, and then smiled leniently .-
"Well, it's this way," he said.
"Since you haven't got any salmon
license, I ought by rights to take you
up. But if you'll give me the salmon,
I'll overlook it this time."
The four business men gave him
the two salmon, and likewise four
cigars. The stranger rowed slowly
away, shaking his head as if he hated
to do it. .
Later the four business men ' re
turned to town, and told of the inci
dent, and then they were informed
that there was no such thing as a
salmon license, and that they had
been bunked out of two perfectly good
fish.
There may be a sequel to this
when the- four busines men meet the
official looking personage again.

for
Clackamas county has reason to be
proud of itself. Not only has it
3,646 farms, with an average of 82.6
acres in each, but these farms are in
a high state of cultivation, and are
yielding crops that place the county
in the front rank of the agricultural
districts of the state. Figures com
piled by O. E. Freytag, publicity man
ager of the Oregon City Commercial
club, show that the county has at
tained an enviable position as a pro
ducer in the state. In the last num
ber of Oregon City Publicity, the
club's booster booklet, the achieve
ments of the local agriculturists are
set for as follows:
Clackamas County ranks 4th in the
production of fruit. The reason Clacka
mas County is not in the lead is be
cause some of the oldest orchards are
in this County. Some have been
neglected on account of old age and
are not so profitable, but in the near
future these old trees will be removed
and then more and better fruit will
be grown. Clackamas County ranks
4th in apples, 7th in peaches and nec
tarines, 4th in pears, 4th In plums
and prunes, 2nd in cherries, 8th in
apricots, 1st in quince, 1st in grapes,
1st in strawberries, tth in raspber
ries and loganberries, 3rd in black
berries and dewberries and 5th in
walnuts.
Clackamas County ranks 17th in
area, 4th in population, 31st in wheat,
4th , in oats, 24th in barley, 16th in
rye, 1st in potatoes, 5th in hops, 14th
in hay, 1st in clover.
The condition of the soil and cli
mate favor the production of abund
ant crops of grain, hay, root crops and
vegetables, which supply green' feed
throughout the year. The most Im
portant of these crops, from a stand
point of economy and as well as milk
and butter fat producing qualities is
the thousand headed kale. It is nat
urally adapted to this section and
yields 25 tons per acre and over. The
farmer is independent of the silo.
TURNOW KILLS TWO GAY DECORATION
WILL BE FEATURE
SHELTON, Wn., April 16. (Spe
cial) John Turnow, the bandit of
the Wynoochee, for whom sheriff's
posses have searched for years and
who was finally given up as dead in
the wilds of the Olympia Peninsula,
killed his fifth and six -man today
when he shot Louis Blair and Charles
Lathrop, two young trappers of Shel
ton, who came across the "beast
man" in the wilds back of the upper
sound.
Deputy Sheriff Quimby, xf Chehalis
county, who "was hunting down late
traces .of the bandit, came upon the
wild man at close quarters, and fired
seven times at him. Turnow return
ed the fire, drove the deputy off, and
then . turned his rifle with fatal ef
fect, upon the two trappers, who came
to the sheriff's aid. .
Turnow was located in the' Oxbow
country, where he had appropriated
an abandoned cabin at a logging
j-eomp. Tne trappers, Dota or wnom
were 35 years of age, were riddled
with bullets from outlaw's rifle. After
kiling them and frightening away the
deputy, the bandit disappeared Into
the mountain fastnesses.
A large posse of men has already
started from Olympia and Tacoma to
take up the trail.
To reach the country where he was
found, Turnow has crossed the Olym
pic Peninsula from the Grays Harbor
country, where he dropped from sight
two years ago.
WILLAMETTE CLUB DANCE
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS
The third dance given by th3 Wil

cessful, club gatherings in this city
for several" years. About 40 couples

Olson's orchestra leased all the danc
ers. During the evening the large
balcony overlooking the river provad
popular.
One of the features of the evening
was the beautiful dresses worn by the
women. Last night's dance will prob

PORTLAND LOSES
GAME TO ANGLES
In te second game played on the
home grounds this year, Portland lost
to Los AngeTes Wednesday by the
score of 3 to 1. The defeat was large
ly due to the blowing up of Higgin
botham, the Portland pitcher, who at
lowed the Angeles to get three runs
from him in the fourth inning, when
he blew up entirely, and was' replaced
by Krapp. In the fifth the Beavers
got tjieir only score, when Rogers got 1
in from third on a bly by Derrick.
The Angeles ' did their scoring
largely on wild pitches by Higginboth
am, who tried to stop men from steal
ing bases or from dashing home. His
throwing was amateurish, and the
Los Angeles boys played tag about
him. Chech pitched a good game for
the visitors, holding the Beavers
down to eight hits, averaging less
than one an inning.

OREGON CITY STORES TO WAR
GALA ATTIRE DURING DAY
OF COMING STOCK SHOW
TEMPTING BARGAINS WITH DISPLAY
Efforts to be Made to Bring Farmers
and Merchants Into Closer
Touch, So That Trade May
be Bettered
So much interest is being taken in
the annual stock show. 'and Booster
Day to be held here next-week that
it is suggested by the Commercial
club that all merchants in the city
decorate their stores for the event,
and give th main streets a thorough
ly festive appearance. There will be
hundreds of visitors in the city, and
if holiday attire is everywhere in evi
dence it is believed that the affair
will be a greater success than other
wise. It is also suggested that during the
two days of the annual stock show
that merchants advertise all special
bargains, for farmers will be in town
the surrounding country, and it will
be a good time to offer them the
wares of the city. Even if those who
are in the city at the time d0 not
purchase from the tempting displays,
they will at least take word to their
home communities, it is believed, of
the bargains that may be procured
here, and in this way trade will be
built up.
The stock show, which will be held
on April 25 and 26, is aimed to ac
complish tw0 things display to vis
itors the excellence of the animals
raised in the county, and also to fur
nish stockmen and ranchers a chance
to interchange and buy pedigreed
livestock, so as to improve their own
herds. The display barns will be the
center of activity in this line;-and it
is expected that as a result much im
provement in local foundation stock
will result. Those interested in find
ing better stock will be able to-satisfy
their desires at the barns.
It is planned to make this year's
stock show and Booster Day co-operative
in as many ways as possible.
Particularly is it the desire of Com
mercial club members that the farm
ers and the city merchants be brought
in closer touch with each other, and
that they learn how to best meet each
other's needs. The local men realize
that when the farmer is prosperous
and satisfied, his happy condition is
reflected in the prosperity and satis
faction of the city merchants and
those dependent upon them.
Merchants generally approve of the
plan to decorate city buildings during
the two daysi of the stock show, and
quite a number of them have already
begun to plan elaborate displays.
Bunting and flags wil enter largely
into the decorations, but some of the
more progresdve merchants expect to
incorporate in their decorations de
signs that will show the . principal
products for which the county is
famed.
