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! Howell and wife, Louise Dolloway Post, John Post and wife, EdiTU Post, Clara and Joshua McKnight, Anna Post, Thurston L. Johnston and wife, Miles S. Johnson and wife, H. B. Johnson and wife, Violette Post Foster and'E. Lucas Foster, Rex. G. Post and wife, Henry Fair, Louise F. Skinner and Guy E. Skinner, and the 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. OUTRANKS EXHIBITIONS lence of the 'animals.

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. BASEBALL RESULTS At Portland Sacramento 7, Port land 4. At Los Angeles Oakland 6, Venice 3.

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. MR. BOOSTER His Birthday (CONTRIBUTED) Wal, I cum to, town yistdy, an' ev erythin' wuz hummin', I tell ye. Couldn't sell my 'taters 'cause there wuz so much a-doin'. Bands a-play-in', squawkers a-squawkin', cows a hlattin', horses a-snortin' an' prancin', purty gals oodles of 'em all dressed up in white an' lookin' jes like angels, only they - didn't act like angels at a l jes' crazy over sody-pop an' ice cream. No angel could act like that. I didn't know what all the doin' wuz, so I siddles up 'to a respec'able look in' chap and axed 'im what all wuz fer; and he says, says he, as it wuz Booster Day. , ... , Mr. Booster's birthday it wuz, says he, and he axed me if I didn't know what all Mr. Booster had done fer the county. I snum! I felf cheap 'cause I didn't know, an' I snuk away from 'im 'thout sayin' much, and axed 'nuther chap who Mr. Booster wuz? He allowed he wuz some relation o' Mayor Jones, an' sed I c Id find out more by axin' him. So I mosies over to his store, and axed him right out bold who wuz this here Mr. Booster, as Td heard tell he wuz some rela tion o' hisn. Mister Jones, he kind o' looked round sideways as if he wuz ashamed of this here relation, an' got red, an' says, .says he, that Gram Dimick knew more 'bout 'im than he did. So I goes up to Jedge Dimick, an' axed him jes' as bold as I'd axed Mis ter Jones. The jedge, he smiled like he wuz glad to see me, an' says' says he: "Sure I know 'im. he's goin' to be pres'dent o' my new railroad. Cum in termorrer morin' at nine o'clock, an' 111 interduce you. He'll be glad to meet ye." So I thanked 'im, and' says I'll be thar on the dot. An' I will. I'm comin' c'ear in from Molally to be thar, an' I'll bring the hull famTy, too. I sure want my folks to see this here man Booster, that they's making sioh a fuss 'bout. Your uncle, BILL. 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."

Th be In every home. by noostlne yow Enterprise should CniLDR MARCH OPINIONS DIFFER AS TO BEST WORK SUNDAY SCHOOL DELEGATES DIS CUSS TEACHING METHODS - 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. 20 ACRES, Zyz MILES FROM MOLALLA, ALL LEVEL LAND AND FENCED; 15 ACRES SLASHED ONLY $1,410; $50.00 CASH, BALANCE TO SUIT AT 7 PER CENT.

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.
