STOCK SHOW EXHIBITS WAIT GAZE
OF THOUSANDS WHO WILL INSPECT
PREPARATIONS FOR ANNUAL FESTIVAL COMPLETE, AND WITH
FAIR WEATHER FORECASTED OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT FOR SUC
CESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT MANY NEW FEATURES ARE AD
DED TO PROGRAM IN ELEVENTH HOUR BY MANAGERS, WHO
DESIRE PUBLIC TO BE TOO BUSY EVEN TO GET TIRED.
Determined not to give the visitors
to the city on Booster Days even a !
chance to get tired, the Commercial
club committees in charge of the pub
lic features have completely filled up
the time Friday and Saturday with
attractions which the public cannot
afford to miss. In fact, the program
is so heavy with parades, contests,
games and carnival stunts that those
who desire to visit the Annual Stock
Show will have to plan mightily close
ly in order to find time to look over
the two grsat distplays of blooded
livestock that will be a feature of the
celebration.
Both at the display barns, on Main
street at Third, and in the big tent on
the municipal dock, at the loot of
Eleventh street, the greatest activity
went on al! night Thursday, so that
everything would be complete for the
display on Friday morning. In the
big barns only horses and pedigreed
cattle will be shown; while in the
tent on the dock there will be the dis
play of sheep, swine and other small
er stock. The roads leading to Ore
gon City have already bean packed
down hard by incoming stock, while
from the more remote sections of the
county animal displays are" being
shipped in by express.
Festivities wil; start Friday morn
ing with the big stock parade, which
will get under wat promptly at half
past ten. Aside from prize winning
' animals, there will be detachments of
the Mocse, Macabees, Redmen and
other fraternal' organizations in line,
each dragging a flot. A large body
of the Oregon National Guard will al
so be in the procession, while at the
head of all will be a huge American
flag and military escort, with huglers.
Grand Marshall A. L. Beatie will have
charge of the parade.
Arrangements have been made with
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
company to stop the interurban cars
at the city limits during parade hours
so that there shall be no conofusion.
An augmented police force will a so
keep the streets clear of outomobiles;
while the merchants will' provide rows
x)f seats along the curbing so that
women' and children may view the
pageant without becoming tired.
Friday afternoon at two o'clock
will be the children's parade, in which
oover a 1,000 school youngsters, boys
and girls, will march, countermarch
and dance their way past the review
ing standts. Immediately after the
children's parade a , space wi 1 ba
cleared on Mhin street from Eleventn
to Sixteenth streets, and there will
D3 a Daxue royai ana nose test D8-
tween the different hose companies,
This promises to be one of the most I
exciting features of the big celebra
tion. Friday evening the carnival
spirit will prevail on the streets, and
several of the local clubs and fra
ternal orders have planned to put on
important stunts, while the carnival
features will be in full swing.
Saturday morning the stock parade
will be repeated, with new features,
and with the addition of tradesmen's
floats and marching bodies from the
ranks of labor. In all probability a
part of the children's parade will al
so be repeated, the youngsters ap
pearing again in new steps and cos
. tumes. Saturday afternoon at two
o clock the big automobile parade will
be .held, in which valuable prizes will
be given for the most beautiful car,
the most unique float, and the finest
car in line. Following the auto par
ade there will be a rattling baseball
game between Oregon City and Canby.
Festivities will end Saturday even
ing with a great Booster Day dance
in Busch's hall, organized and put on
by Henry Edwards and Jack Frost.
This ball, and the street revels and
carnival features will give Oregon
City a night long to be remembered,
and much gaiety is expected. People
are already arriving in the city for
the great annual celebration, and it
is expected that by Friday morning
there will be thousands of folk upon
the streets. Hotel accomodations
are already at a premium.
Chi dren who will participate in the
special school parade will assemble
at their classrooms, and will march
to Fifteenth and Main street, where
line of m&TZi WU be formed. The
parade will then move soutH 22 Maia
street to Third street, and counter
march to the point of beginning,
where it will be disbanded. Music
will be furnished for the children's
parade by the Oregon City and Red
land bands.

On:; of the chief features of the
preliminary work was the cleaning

FOOD INSPECTOR
SOON TO BE ASKED
Recent agitation of the Live Wires
Civic Improvement committee for the
inspection of local sanitary and
plumbing conditions, has awakened
interest in another needed addition to
the city's activity, namely an inspec
tion of the meat and milk supply.
There is a growing feeling in many
parts that both these staples could he
considerably remedied, and at an
early session of the police and health
committee of the council this matter
will probably be taken up.
While all of the wilk furnished Ore
gon City is supposed to conform to
state standards, there is a very gen
eral suspicion that some of it does
not, and that in other instances the
conditions at barns and dairy farms
are far from being as they should be.
As the milk supply of the city Is al
most as ready a carrier of disease as
the water supply, if it is not pur.e
the suggestion that the mi'k "be in
spected is meting with general com
mendation. ,Much"of the meat sold locally is far
from what it should be. While the
proposed city ordinances demanding
the installation fo screens and glass
over all meat and groceries displayed
for sale will go far toward preventing !
one form of danger; it is nevertheless i town or community wnere the pos

of summer some of the meat sold is i
far from being fit to eat.
The matter is being quietly looked
into by local people interested in
conditions, and evidence of some
flagrant violations of rules of sani
tation is being gathered. This will
be submitted to one of the improve
ment committees, and an effort made
to provide for better protection of
meat supplies.
OF FALLS WANTED
A movement is on foot among mem
bers of the Commercial club and mov
ing picture men of this city to have
representatives of the various film
manufacturing concerns come to this
city to take motion pictures of sal
mon fishing. It is a rare sight to see
salmon or any other 'arge fisn" caught
with hook and line, and there is prob
ably r,0 place in the world where sal
mon is thusly caught in large num
bers as at Oregoon City.
A number of noted persons have
fished and caught salmon here and
several stories have been written
about the fishing. Rudyard Kipling,
the noted English author, fished here
and has mentioned the fact several
tiroes in his books.
For moving pictures to show the
lively fight which a 40-pound salmon
puts up would be high'y interesting

WHICH HE WAS ACTIVE
ALBANY PAPER PAYS HIM TRIBUTE
Well Known Publisher Recalled With.
Kindest Feelings By Citizens
Who Associated With
Him in Life
The remains of the 'ate William A.
Shewman were laid at rest Thursday
afternoon in Mountain View ceme
tery, beautiful graveside services be
ing held, with the Rev. T. F. Bowen
officiating. Though the funeral was
private, members of the local lodge
of Masons, the Elks and Oregon City
Commercial club, of all of which or
ganizations Mr. Shewman was a mem
ber, attended at the cemetery, and
lined the grave with pink and white
carnations and hyacinths. Previous
to the interment, services were held
at Mr. Shewman's late home.
In this city flags were generally at
half mast as a tribute of respect to
the late pub isher and leader in civic
work. On all sides many expressions
of sorrow at his passing were heard,
and knowledge that his funeral was
being held made many of his friends
and admirers pause m tn activities
of the day and recall his many sterl
ing qualities.
Aside from being a leader in many
lines of work in this city, Mr. Shew
man was formerly the publisher of
the Albany Evening Herald. In its
issue for Wednesdy that paper no
tices Mr. Shewman's death, and says:
"The deceased will be remembered
by many people in Albany as a for
mer owner of The Evening Herald,
he having owned The Herald for two
years prior to the sale of the paper to
the present editor, C. Clinton Page,
June 1st, 1910.
. "Shewman was a newspaper man
of extensive experience in New York
state, and bought the Oregon City
Courier In 1908, and shortly after
wards also became awner of The Ev
ening Herald.
"M)r. Shewman was a man of great
enterprise and industry. Ha was al
so a marked type of that pessimism
and hope which is an asset to any
ana ideals of the American nome."
DISASTER PURSUES
OREGON CITY
A. L. Price, Oregon City's well
known merchant, has been the victim
of a series of automobile accidents.
which reached a climax Tuesday even
ing, and which might have proven
fatal had not Mr. Price possessed a
streak of luck.
He was just returning from Part-
land, fater having taken his machine
out of a repair shop and had started
down the steep Corbett street hill in
South Portland. The machine had
gained considerable speed, and Mr.
Price wished to apply the foot break,
as there is a silight turn at the bat
tom of the hill. Instead of placing
his foot upon the break, he put it
upon the accelerator, and as a result
the machine dashed forward with in
creasing speed, until it reached the
bottom of the hill. By this time it
was probab y going 40 miles an
hour.
Mr. Price, however, endeavored to
hold the car to the road and take the
curve, but his efforts were of no
avail. The machine skidded and
crashed into the curb. Two of the
wheels were broken, the radiator
badly damaged, the nead lights smash
ed, and the car generally mussed up.
Mr. Price, who was driving the car,
was uninjured other than receiving a
powom oholrinjr UO.
! I1? week MrPrice met3 lii an
' accident quite similar to this, al-
though not as bad. He was rounding
a curve on the hilj in Oregon City,
when his car skidded and crashed in
to the curb. Several of the spokes
of one of the wheels were broken, and
it was necessary to take the machine
to the repair shop in Portland. It
was from this place he was returning
when he met with the accident Tues
day. or the money that such a training
would enable you to earn. There will
be only a few fortunate ones; it you

will never come to you again. Write

HORSE THIEF GOES
HOME UPON PAROLE
The Clackamas county grand jury
today returned two not true bills, re
leasing from custody Bruce Comb,
who was charged with holding up and
attacking J. W. Lingle, a milk dealer,
last February, and Charles Maher,
held on the charge of stealing a horse
from Mason Warnock, of Sringater.
Interesting circumstances surround
the latter case. Maher was captured
at the point of a gun by Warnock, who
is over 60 years o d, as he was rid
ing away on one of the pioneer s
horses. News of his capture was
read in Seattle, Wn., by Mrs. Maud
Amel, the grandmother of the thief,
and she wrote to Sheriff E. Mass, ask
ing him Jo ascertain whether or not
the horsethief was her grandson.
Sheriff Mass and Chief of Police
Shaw, accompanied by some of the
members of the grand juryw visited
the young theif in his cell, and he
readily admitted that h was the Se-1
attle woman's grandchild. He said
h ehad ben living at her hom'e un
til last October, when he had left her
care to shift for himself, and since
then had been "bumming" about
Washington, Oregon and California.
He was recognized by one of the
grand jurymen as a young man who
had slept in his barn at Oswego,
some weeks ago, and who then de
clared that4he was seeking work, and
wanted to quit his wandering lift.
The boy's grandmother was communi
catnd with, and promised to send
money for his return to Seattle if the
authorities wou'd release him.
The Seattle police were called into
the case by telegraph, and after they
had ascertained that Mrs. Amel was
able and willing to care for the lad,
and that work was waiting for him
in the Sound city, the grand jury re
ported a not true bill. Young Maher,
who is but little over 16 years of age,
though large and heavy of build, will
be detained until Friday morning, and
will than be sent to Seattle on parole
and without escort. If he breaks his
parole he will be indicted and sent
to prison

SHOCKING STORY
OF CRUELTY TOLD
WIFE OF JOHN L. DOAK, WHO AT
TEMPTED TO KILL BROTHER
DESCRIBES MARRIED LIFE
WOMAN IS NOW SUING FOR DIVORCE
Former Portland Dentist Had Ungov
ernable Temper, Which Led
Him to Brutal Excesses
and Actions
That her husband, John L.Doak,
who Wednesday night shot his broth
er in the lobby of the Hollenbeck ho
tel, Los Ajigeles, was violently insane,
and had byeen mentally unbalanced
for some time, is tne opinion of Mrs.
Oi-ie Ml Doak, who lives at present
on a ranch near Beaver Creek, east
of Oregon City. News of the fotal
shooting was given Mrs. Doak today,
and while she was deeply shocked at
hearing of the said affair, she said
she had always feared her husband
would at some time develop a homici
dal mania, owing to his ungovernable
temper. .
Mrs. Doak and her three-year-old
child, Claudie M. Doak, are living in
Clackamas county pending action on
her divorce case, which she filed
througn her attorneys Brownell &
Stone, some months ago. In it aha
asks for ,the custody of her child, as
well as freedom from the man who
has made ufe unbearable for her
since October, 19o9, scarcely a month
after she married him.
"Tu 3 things that Mr. Doak did to
me are unbelievable, sne saia, tell
ing of her life witu him since her
, marriage at Salem, September, 20,
1909. " We have separated several
U' .a?d each time I have agreed to
live with him again; but it has been
useless. Even after 1 . filed my di
vorce suit I had my attorneys delay
action in it, hoping that John would
improve, but his treatment of me con
tinued as outrageous as .before.".
Mrs. Doak did not care to go into
particulars as to tbe manner in whica
her husband had treated her, but the
complaint sets forth that eleven days
after they had been married Doak ba
gau to treat her in a cruel and in
human manner, that he flew into fits
of violent passion, and also drank
heavi y, abusing her when he return
ed to their home. At one time, the
complaint states, Doak thrust his
fingers in her mouth and tore his
hand out with such force as to rip
the flesh of her cheek. On another
occasion he attacked her with a
breadknife, tiie complaint avers, and
she seriously cut her hands defending
herself.
On several occasions Doak threat
ened to kill her, she recites in her
complaint. Once he attacked her with
a silver-backed toilet mirror, shatter
ing the glass over her head, and mak
ing it necessary for her to run into
the street and call two passersby to
protect her from her husband's abuse.
When the couple were first married
Doak was a dentist in Portland. Soon
after their marriage they moved to
808 Eddy street, San Francisco. They
stayed there a month, and then Doak
began a weird pilgrimage over Cali
fornia and Arizona, taking his wife
with him, and staying in nQ city more
than a month. Among the places
lived in were Los Ange es, San jose,
San Diego, Oakland, Oakville, Ocean
Park and Bakersfield, Cal., and Yuma,
Arizona. In several places Mrs. Doak's
complaint states, Doak left her desti
tute when she was ill.
They finally returned t0 San Fran
cisco, and from thence moved back
to Oregon. It was here that Doak
once again threatened to kill his
wife on hearing of her intention to se
cure a divorce. Doak suffered from
the belief that his brother, L. S.
Doak, of Los Angeles, whom he shot,
was trying to alienate his wife's af
fections and take their chi d away
from them.

public spirited work of citizens of
Canby, who stocked the streams with
50,000 trout of different varieties last
summer. The fries have thrived well
in the tsreams, and have attained
good growth and sporting qualities.
The fish are now from four to six
inches long, and are said to be ex

Next year it is expected that the
streams that empty into the Molalla
river will furnish a good quota of fish
that will later find their way into the

SUNDAY SCHOOL LEADERS
OPEN GREAT CONVENTION
STEADY STREAM. OF DELEGATES ARRIVES BY ALL. INCOMING
TRAINS AND CARS, THOUGH MANY OF THE ANTICIPATED
SPEAKERS ARE LATE FULL 'ATTENDANCE WILL BE ON HAND
FOR THURSDAY, WHEN REAL WORK OF GATHERING WILL GET
UNDER WAY IN ALL DEPARTMENTS OF GENERAL STATE
MEETING HERE.
Greeted by sunshine and summer
weather, the major part of the 600
delegates to the State Sunday School
convention arrived in Oregono City
Thursday, each arriving train bring
ing its quota of people from other
portions of the state. Owing to the
.great distance to be traveled by some
of the delegates, however, the full at
tendance will :not be on hand until
Friday morning, when the real work
of the convention will start,
oaeddo (o oenoweather
The greater part of the first day
was taken up with registration of
delegates and assigning them to their
lodgings and t0 the various sections
of tne convention in which their
greatest activity will be. Broadly
the convention is divided into sec
tions representing infant c'ass work,
children's classes and adult instruc
tion. Throughout the day these var
ious sections will be busy with their
special programs, though one or two
general meetings have been arranged
for each session, in which all the
delegates will join..
Owing to the lateness of arrival of
many of the speakers the program
planned for Thursday afternoon cotfld
not be carried out. The general lines
of the meeting, nowever, were carried
forth as had been expected, substitute
speakrs addressing the gatherings
where those on the program failed to
arrive. Much of the afternoon, also,
was taken up in reading of reports
for work of the past year.
Features of the first general session
of the convention, held in the Bap
tist church, which was packed to the
doors, were the singing of the special
chorus, led by Harold F. Humbert, of
the Eugene Bible university; the ad-
POLICE WARN ALL
OF LIKELY "DRIFT"
Local police are not going to pa7
so very much attention to the crowds
during Booster Days, but will be par
ticularly watchful of the residence
sections during the progress of the
several parades that are scheduled.
It is believed that there will be little
difficulty in presarving order a.ong
the line of march, and this work will'
be left largely to the parade aides
and to deputies.
That there will be a- large number
of petty ' thieves and "drift men' in
town, however, is the expectation of
the officers, and they think these
yeggs will attempt activity in the
residence sections while people are
on the streets of the business sec
tion. Therefore, the main duty of
the force will consist of watching the
homes.
Just in the line of general warning
people are cautioned by the police
not to eave their houses unlocked
while away, and particularly not to
leave clothes hanging oil the lines,
as clothes usually yield' a rich har
vest to the "drift" that, 'follows in the
wake of carnivals and other festive
occasions. a

present-day neglect of the spiritual
side of live and advocated a greater

Thursday night there were two
meetings, the scheduled one in the
Baptist church, and an overflow meet
ing in the Methodist church. Both of
these were similar in scope, and con- ...
sisted of the official welcoming of the
convention delegates to the city.
Mayor Linn jE. Jones, extending the
hospitality of the municipality, spoke
at both gatherings. The Rev. J. R.
Landborough welcomed the conven-i
tion in the name of the local
churches. Responses to the greet
ings thus tendered were made by C.
A. Staver, of Portland. The address
of the evening was delivered by W.

"The Sunday school and the Great

furnished at both meetings by the
choir of the Presbyterian church, and
was led by Ml-. Humbert.
