OREGON CITY, OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1913
Per Week, Ten Cexts
SATflRDAY
HOU
ES
TO
BE BUSY ON
With Friday's initial day of the an
nual Stock Show one of the most
notable occasions in the history of
the city, and with at least 2,000 vis
itors from all parts of the county on
hand to witness the parades ad oth
er features, Saturday's celebration of
Booster Day promises to ecTlpe all
other similar gatherings. Though
Friday was crowded with features,
many of which were of more than an
ticipated merit, the program for the
closing day of the annual event wi 1
be much more elaborate. Not only
will many of the first day's features
be repeated, but there will be other
incidents on tie program that will
keep the spectators busy every min
ute of the time.
Promptly at half past ten Satur
day morning there will be a stock
parade that will outrival that held
Friday. The same magnificent dis
play of blooded anima's will be given,
and in addition there will be many
features added to the novelty end of
the procession that did not appear in
the first day's pageant.
Following the stock parade there
will be a repitition of the school chil
dren's march, and as soon as the
streets can be cleared after this there
will be a contest between the several
hose companies of the city, in which
skill and rapidity will be displayed by
the firemen in getting their appar
atus into p ay. There is intense riv
alry between the different companies,
and as a large prize has been put up
for the most adept outfit, the exhibit
and contest promises to be spirited
in the extreme.
Following the firemen's battle,
there will be a team pulling contest,
in which a big wagon will be loaded
down with merchandise, and a prize
given the pair of dray horses that
succeeds in movtng it. Judging from
the magnificent display of horses in
Friday's parade, a record will prob
ably be established for the tonnage
moved.
In the afternoon there will be the
decorated automobile parade, in
which many cars, both from Oregon
City and oufying communities in the
county, will compete for prizes.
Mlarshall Sullivan, who has charge of
this parade, already has several score
entries, and the pageant will probab
ly be an eye-opener as showing how
general has been the adoption of the
motor vehicle in the county.
Later in the afternoon there is a
"baseball game scheduled between
Oregon City's championship team and
the Canby nine, and rooters from both
towns will be on hand to cheer their
warriors to victory. In the evening
the carnival spirit will be given full
swing, and the many attractions on
the streets will offer amusement for
the multitudes.
During the day there will also be
two free, open-air high dives by Cap
tain Henry Kerns, who thrilled sev
eral hundred people Friday afternoon
when he plunged from a tower 100
feet high into a net suspended but a
few feet above the pavement. One of
these dives will be made in the morn
ing, and one in the late afternoon.
Band concerts will also be given on
the courthouse green, and at some
other point in the southern section
of the city.
The celebration will close with a
monster Booster Day ball at Busch's
hall in the evening, when it is ex
pected that several hundred couples
-will trip the light fantastic over the
lighly polished flcor.

OREGON CITY WOOLEN MILL
STOCK PARADE
ALL FORMER
As the sun arose and shone in
Oregon City Thursday morning, it
smi ed upon a crowd of expectant
merry-makers and sight-seers. From
early morning until late in the after
noon, over 2,000 people flocked into
the city, some coming by train, some
by street car and still others, and per
haps the majority, by team and auto
mobile. A conservative estimate
would place the number of vistors
and residents on the street at 5,000
The live stock parade was the first
one of the two days' celebration, and
was a marked success. The parade
was arranged by M. D. Latourette,
who made a remarkably good show
ing considering the short time in
which he had to handle the affair.
Mr. Latourette chose as his marshalls
and aides the following: Dr. A. L-.
Beatie, William Ruconick, H. W.
Streibig, B. A. Avison, C. C. Farr, P.
Klostra, C. S. Noble, and W. S.
Eddy.
The parade was led by ,he flag,
which was closely followed by Com
pany L, Oregon National Guard. The
company made a neat appearance and
attracted considerable attention. They
were followed by the offivers of the
day and city officials. After them
came the live stock and the horse
sections. There was much fins cat
tle exhibited.
Frank Meredith, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, who was
an observer of the parade so as to
get a line on possible entries for the
state fair at Salem, declared that he
had never seen a finer .showing of
stock, and expressed amazement that
such superb animals were raised and
bred in Clackamas county. He Vas
particu arly impressed with the
horses, and declared them to be .some
of the finest animals he had ever
seen. The cattle also surprised him
by their excellent form.
The last section of the big parade
was composed largely of fraternal
orders and societies. Prominent in
the line were the Mb-cabees, who were
accorded the first prize. Their drill
team marched in costume, and 'at
tracted much favorable comment.
The Bobbie Burns society, with its
float and piper, won an award as well
and was loudly welcomed by. the
throngs that lined the sidewalks. The
Moose turned out in large numbers,
and with their white hats and crim
son decorations made a fine showing.
In the miscellaneous section Ern
est Cross and his comical rig brought
forth screams of laughter, and-the
crowd was generally pleased when it
was announced that he had captured
the. first prize in this section.
Stock in the parade was judged by
Prof. Potter, of the Oregon Agricul
tural college, and he, like Mr. Mere
dith, was much surpised at the excel
JUDGE FILES SUIT
I
The somewhat unusual spectacle of
a judge filing a suit in his own court
occured Friday, when Judge J. V.
Campbell of the circuit court, enter
ed an action, through W. A. Dimick,
his attorney, to clear title to certain
land 'ocated in the Andrew Hood don
ation land claim. Over 40 defend-
ants are named in the action, some '
two score ot them being cited per-1
sonally, and the others referred to in
general terms, or as-the heirs of cer
tain parties now deceased. The case,
naturally, will not be tried in Judge
Campbell s department, but will be
heard by Judge Aiken, who presides
over the other department of the cir
cuit court for this district.
The defendants named in the case
are: Adaline Howell, Thomas How
ell and wife, Hettie and John Smith,
Henry Howe 1 and wife, John Howell
and wife, William Howell and wife,
Stanford Howell, Jr., Joseph Howell
and wife, MatiJda and William Pot
ter, Ida and Edgar Kieth, Fran1!

heirs of Ivison and Phinney, as well
as all others claiming right or title
to the land.
MOOSE BOOSTER BALL
SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR
Festivities of the first Booster Day
were brought to a close with the
grand ball of the Loyal Order of
Moose, held in Busch's hall Friday
evening. Over 300 couples attended
and the dance will go down in his
tory as one of the big affairs of
Moosedom. The hal was tastefully
decorated with streamers of red and
white, looped in festoons from thye
ceiling, and intermingled with ever
greens. The be'autiful gowns worn
by many of the ladies present also
added to the attractiveness of the
scene.

WOMEN ASK SHARE
A motion was adopted by the Wom
an's club, which met Thursday after
noon in the parlors of the Commer
cial club, to the effect that .the wom
en of Oregon City should have repre
sentation upon the Park and Public
Property committee of the council,
and that a woman-should be appoint-
ed as an assistant to the chief of po-
lice, in inspecting the sanitary con
dition of the markets. The commit
tee appointed to- take the matter up
with the city council was Mrs. N. Ml,
Alldredge, Mrs. J. W. Morris and Mrs.
David Caufield.
At the request of Mrs. Pennyback
er, president of the National Federa
tion, it was decided that letters be
written to the secretary of labor, and
to President Wilson, protesting the
removal of 'Miss Julia Lathrop, as
chairman of the Child Labor depart
ment.
The club decided to seive dinner
Friday and Saturday noon, in the
Woodmen's hall.
The program consisted of an- ad
dress upon public schools, by Super
intendent T. J. Gary and a discussion
of some of his suggestions. Mr.
Gary interpolated in his talk some
constructive criticism of the present
system, and to'd his ideal scheme for
the training of boys, emphasizing
making their education not" a prepar
ation for life, but a part of life itself.
He also outlined his plan for the
Teachers' Training Institute, which
will probably be held in Gladstone
Park, before Chatauqua. The club
expressed its appreciation of Mr.
Gary's address by a rising vote of
thanks.

CROWDS
CHEER
Ei
One of the chief features of tie
first of the Booster Days celebration
was the children's parade, held" Fri
day afternoon, in which between 600
and 800 youngsters participated. The
children marched from their several
schools to the point of formation, and
then in neat and regular lines trav
ersed the line of parade, and counter
marched bacic again. A sturdier or
more attractive set of boys and girls
has seldom been seen, and applause
was generous as the young folk trudg
ed along, with heads high and happy
smiles decorating their faces.
The girls in the parade were an
especial feature, and in their white
dresses made a most pleasing sight.
A large majority of those in line wore
flowers or ribbons of uniform color,
and many from the Barclay school
wore deep b'ue pennants suspended
from their sashes. Some . attempts
were also made at fancy marching,
and these brought out well-meritted
applause.
The children seemed to greatly en
joy the march, and which some con
fusion over the route to be followed
made them turn back before the end
of the route was reached, the parade
on the whole was one of the big suc
cesses of the celebration.

LOCAL OPTION LAW
ON STOCK GMG
The problem of stock running at
large may hereafter be settled purely
as a local question in any election
precinct of the state, the ast session
of the legislature having passed a law
providing that whenever one-fourth of
the legal voters of any precinct de
sire to propose the question, a ballot
shall be taken upon the matter. Ow
ing to the recent annulment of the
last election on this matter held in
Clackamas county by a ruling oH
Judge Campbell, the new law is of lo
cal interest.
The bijl which provides for precinct
decisions of this question reads in
part as follows:
"On the petition of one-fourth of
the legal voters of any election pre
cinct of any county being filed with
the county clerk before the time of
giving the notice of the general elec
tion in any year, the county clerk
shall cause notice to be given that at
such' election a vote will be taken for
and against stock running at large
in such precinct; or, on a petition of
one-fourth of the legal voters of any
precinct of any county in this state
being filed with the county clerk for
a special election to be held therein
at a time specified other than at the
general election, which time shall not
be less than thirty days after the date
of filing of, such petition, the county
court shall order a special election to
be held in said precinct on the ques
tion of stock running at large therein
to be held at the time stated in the
petition in the same manner as other
elections are held thereon."

- IN CONVENTION SESSIONS
MANY FINE ADDRDSSES DELIVERED
Second Day of Biy State Gathering
RepleteWith Features of In
terest Progress of Past
Year Reviewed
An open, discussion, of. "What I
Think of Graded Lesions," created
much debate in the State Sunday
School Convention Friday morning, a
wide difference of view being ex
pressed by the delegates as to the
real and comparative worth of such
instruction. The discussion was
opened by W. H. Phiilips, of Portland,
who defended the present system.
Following his paper a quite general
opinion was expressed that no cut
and dried formulas could be used in
Sunday School work, and that bettre
results could be obtained by the
adoption of a plan in which the indi
vidual temperament of classes was
more closely watched, and the work
adopted so as to utilize the greatest
interest. :
Before, this discussion two interest
ing talks were given upon club activ
ities as a means of fixing the inter
est of young people in church work.
Girjls' clubs were discussed by Mrs.
S. W. Ormsby, state field worker;
while boys' clubs were handled by.
Ivan B. Rhoades, of the Y. M. C. A.
Both speakers were given c ose atten
tion, and were heartily applauded '
when tney nad completed tneir re
marks. An interesting address on
"Sunday School Efficiency" was de
livered by Prof. F. T. Billington, of
Eugene, and the Rev. R. N. Avisoon,
of Salem, mingled humor and serious
ness iu his address, "When I was a
Child."
J. R. Werlien, of Portland, who pre
sided at the session, " stilled an im
pending storm in the course of the
day when an effort was made to in
troduce resolutions regretting that the
Booster Day celebration had been fix
ed for" the same dates as the Sunday
School convention. This resolution
was perpared by certain delegates
whose deliberations were interrupted
by the band music of one of the par
ades; but after discussion it was
deemed ill advised to formally intro
duce them, and what might have been
a breach of hospitality was tnus
avoided.
At a noontime luncheon rough plans
for the next year's work were in
formally discussed by the executive
committee and special delegates from
eaj county. A report on this fea
ture will be made to the convention
later on during the sessions.
Reports of state officers took up
most of the afternoon, all indicating
much progress during the past; year.
Whr.e the general convention was
listtening to these, there were depart
ment institutes held at which mis
sionary work, temperance and the ac
tive teaching of Sunday School
classes were discussed.
In the evening there was a banquet
for teachers, at which Prof. R. R.
Steele was toastmaster, and several
of the outside speakers de ivered
brief remarks. The evening session
of the convention was short, the lead
ing address being delivered by Rev.
A. M. Williams, and dealing with Sun
day School work in the Orient. Rev.
W. F. Emerson also spoke, his sub
ject beine "The Golden Gate of Op
portunity." The program for Saturday, the last
day of the convention, is as follows.

YOUNG ATTORNEY'S WORK
IS GENERALLY RAISED
Local lawyers are commenting most
favorably upon the manner in which
Howard Brownell, son of Geofge
Brownell, handled the damage case of
Lydia Wright in circuit court recent
ly. Mr. Brownpll was associated in
ing to circumstances much of the bur
den of the prosecution fell upon his
shoulders. He was opposed by much
more experienced counsel, to which
he alluded in his summary to the
jury; and it speaks extremely well
for Mir. Brownel', say other attorneys
who watched the case, that the jur
ors returned a verdict in favor of his
client.
Mr. Brownell's closing argument
was simple and straightforward, de
void of many of the tricks of oratory
so often resorted to in such cases,
and evidently impressed the jurors
as well as it did others in the court
room who heard it. His presence
was at all times dignified, and his
handling of the case is generally
praised.

NEXT YEAR PLANS
ALREADY
FRAMED
MERCHANTS BELIEVE ANNUAL
EXHIBIT OUGHT TO BE MADE
BROADER IN SCOPE
SPECIAL MANAGEMENT SUGGESTED
Resources of County Should Be Ex
ploited Systematically, they Say
and Celebration Be Based
' on Development
Preparations for next year's Boost
er Day are already being discuss d by
local business men and boosters, and
indications are that a committee will
early be formed to' handle the work.
It is suggested that as the- Booster
celebration has proven itself to be a
valuable feature, both for the city
and the county, by bringing residents
of the two divisions into closer touch
with each other, that it might be well
to maintain a constant organization
from year to year to manage the de
tails. A committee of eight or ten mem
bers has been regarded as best suit
ed to the work by those who are giv
ing the matter thought, and it is be
lieved that each member of the com
mittee ought to handle some one de
tail of the enterprise. It is also the
general opinion that more emphasis
should be placed upon the parades
and the stock shows, and less atten
tion be given the carnival attractions
By doing this, it is said, a more rep
resentative celebration can be had,
and greater display of the county re
sources brought before the public
eye.
Floats representing the -different
lines of Clackamas county activity
are sugested for. the parade floats
that shall truly represent the re
sources and development of the sec
tion. Such floats will require con
siderable preparation, and the parade
in which they are carried should be
organized with much forethought, it
is believed. The idea is being rapid
ily taken up by the real boosters for
the city and the county, and much fa
vorab'e comment is heard in regard
to the plan.
