BASEBALL GAMES
HELD UP--RAIN
Rain Friday afternoon put a quietus
on baseball playing in the Northwest
to a considerable extent. There was
no Coast League game in Portland,
but to make up for that the Portland
Colts won a game from Spokane in
the Inland Empire city. The score in
this game was 4 to 3, in favor of
Portland, but the deciding run was
not made until the 12th inning. N
Coast League games' in the south
resulted as follows: At Venice, Sac
ramento 0, Venice 7; at San Fran
cisco, Oakland 6, San Francisco o.
The result of today's games does not
alter the standing of the clubs as far
as relative postions goes.

"First Aid to the
Perplexed."
The "first aid to be perplex
ed" in the administration of
the household should be the ad
vertising columns of THE EN
TERPRISE. You were looking at the
tablecloth today and " that
brought up the question of
table linens.
This ought to be a good time
to buy tablecloths and napkins.
Watch the announcements of
the reliable stores that adver
tise in THE ENTERPRISE.
And, speaking about table
linens, weren't you thinking of
a new rug for the dining room,
new curtains, another couch
cover?
Perhaps something was paid
about replenishing the cut glass
supply or a new china cabinet
or a buffet.
And what about a new refrig
erator this season? A fine up-to-date
sanitary refrigerator is
not in the luxury class any
more; it is a necessity.
Take your housekeeping prob
lems to the advertising columns
of THE ENTERPRISE. It is
the business of the stores repre
sented there to help you.
FAIR WORK
FOR CHILDREN
Last year, as nearly as can be esti
mated, about 60,000 children engaged
in making or raising something to ex
hibit and for competition in the prizes
offered by the various garden, indus
trial, school, county and state fairs.
It is hoped and believed that this
j ear the number of children who will
interest themselves in preparing for
the fairs to be held in the fall, will
reach at least 125,000.
One of the main objects of these
contests, is to get the boys and girls
interested in something, and it is
easier to interest them in something
practical, something in which their
work will show than it is to keep them
interested by merely furnishing
amusements for them. "The busy
man is the happy man" is no less true
of the child, and the benefit in char
acter building will be untold.
The wide reaching influence of this
work among the children has already
been felt in one community, where

Oregon City - Oregon
work of the children in these families
getting up agricultural exhibits for
the school fars, have moved to coun
try places. That wonder worker, na
ture, has from the little than can be
raised on city lots, manifested her
self to these city dwellers, in all her
charm, and has lured these families
back to the soil.
The children have learned a lesson
In industry, and the rewards for mer
itorious exhibits were sufficiently val
uable to make their effort worth
while.
The rules for entering these con
tests are few and simple, but the most
important from every standpoint, is
that the children must do the work
themselves. The ground may be
plowed and harrowed for the children
but after that preliminary work the
children must do it ali themselves.
Planting, cultivating, harvesting must
all be done by the chiluren.
In raising poultry ther- child
does not have to own the parent flock,
but must set the eggs and feed and
care for the chickens they exhibit.
Fine eggs from blooded stock have
been distributed among the children,
and at the fairs this year some fine
poultry will be exhibited by the chil
dren. The children should do all the work
themselves, for they will have a pride
in their exhibits if they are honestly
mad, tat they could not know if the
parents did the work, and allowed the
children to exhibit the products as
their on. To instil into a child's
mind the lesson of honesty and fair
dealing is as necessary as to teach
him industry. "To thy self be true,
and it follows as the day follows night
that to no other man canst thou be'
false." Character building is the most
important part of a child's life, and
much good to his whole career ma
result from these industrial contests,
for the habits of industry, economy,
system, honesty and self-reliance
which all go to the making of a good
citizen, may be learned through work
in these lines.
There will be many valuable prizes
for the children at the State Fair
again this year, and the school con
tests will be of high educational value
to the exhibitors. Parents should en
courage the children to begin early
to get ready for thees fairs, it will
keep the children busy and happy.
OPPORTUNITIES. .
Oregon, by the United States census
of 1910, had a population of 672,705,
this has been augmented in the two
years by at least an incoming settle
ment of 100,000 people. Of this num
ber. Portland in 1910, 'by census fig
ures, claimed 207,214 souls, increased
to 257,490 in 1912 by a conservative
directory estimate. Don't you want to
come to Clackamas County, next door
neighbor to the city of Portland, and
help feed this big city. Figures show
how disproportionate has been the in
flux to the city. Does it mean any
thing to you? More than 1-4 of the
population of one of the biggest states
in the Union settled in one city of
the state.
The people of Portland want your
poultry, your dairy products, your
small fruits, your vegetables and
fruits, and there is no place where
they can be grown more cheaply than
in- Clackamas County. No place
where transportation can be affected
more cheaply and efficiently than from
Clackamas County, for you can sup-'
ply your market direct. '
Don't you see your opportunity?
Produce the best, and get the best
returns, and there is no place in the
country where you can do this any
better than right here in Clackamas
County.
UNLIKE OREGON.
The Eastern states have been swept
by floods and winds for many years,
but it has remained for 1913 to bring
to the East a calamity which has
broken all previous records for sever-
The horrors of floods have been in
tensified by blizzards, and snow and
ice have added untold suffering to un
told suffering. Tornadoes of unusual
violence have ravaged the Southern
and Middle West states, and lives
have been sacrificed, and nronertv has
been devastated to an extent which
has horrified the whole world.
Th wholesale destruction of lives
I and of property during Easter week
I is unprecedented, and the rise of the
j Ohio and Mississippi rivers to record
j breaking stages will probably add to
the loss of life, will undoubtedly add
j to loss of. property.
i Torrential rams of 1-2 inch an hour
i which lasted for a week are held to
j account for the destroying floods
i which wrought disaster to two whole
' states, leaving hardly one city un
! scathed,' and making havoc in parts
j of many other states. The annual rain
jfall of the Willamette Valley of 44
j inches was exceeded- in less than a
i week, and the rivers swollen with the
! usual winter rains could not carry
off the excess of water, and sad his
tory has been made. -
During the same week in one day
an unprecsdentedly heavy rain occur
red in this county, when in 24 hours
.9 of an inch fell.
The jesting saying that Oregon
rains are not wet rains has its origin
in the fact that the rains never
come in heavy and drenching down
pours. One can be out for hours in
Valley rain and not get wet. Hence
"Oregon rains are not wet rains."
Extreme high winds do not prevail
inthe Valley. The clouds never as
sume the frightful black and heavy
blue of the wind and storm clouds
which strike such terror to the heart,
and the frightful disasters of our sis
ter states are not feared here. The
sense OI security iruui meac teniujc
visitors, and from lightning, which ie
enjoyed here, can only be appreciated
by those who have known the horrid
fear whoch possesses one who has
lived through even a moderate East
ern storm.
We extend a deep sympathy to
those who have suffered in the
storms and floods and to. those also
who live in fear that they may be the
next to receive a visition; We also
extend an invitation to come to Clack
amas County where torrential rains
are never known, where the dread tor
nado and cyclone have never blown
their terrible breath, and where light
nings do not make summer a time to
be dreaded.
Our winter rains come gently and
the average rainfall is sufficient to
obviate the necessity of irrigation.
Our winters are not extremely cold,
nor our summers intensely hot. tn
fact the elements are moderate in all
ways, and in this valley years ago
called the garden spot of the world
one may find surcease from the buffet
tings of storms, and feel safe to go
about one's business without the hid
eous fear of wind and rain and light
ning and tempest ,
ciackamas County offers a place of
refuge, a place where life may be be
gun again with a certain knowledge
that nature has a kindlier manner
than she ' shows to other sections.
