WITH SATISFACTION AND SUCCESS
'WIND-UP OF ANNUAL STOCK SHOW CARNIVAL FEATURED BY
MANY ATTRACTIVE EVENTS THAT EVEN THREATENING
WEATHER CANNOT SPOIL V ISITORS THRONG CITY UNTIL
LATE IN EVENING AND THEN LEAVE REGRETTING THAT
THERE IS NO MORE TO DO O R NOTHING MORE TO ENJOY.
In. spite of occasional April showers
and threatening weather, the crowd
of spectators that were in the city
Saturday to witness the celebration
was far in excess of any expectation.
At least 4.000 visitors packed the
streets, and from nine o clock Satur
day morning until late in the after
noon it was almost-, impossibe to
make one's. way along the street by
way of the sidewalks. At times a
passing rain storm would drench the
street, but people were able to find
ready stielter in the stores and be
neath welcome awnings.
The most interesting parade of the
day was the big automobile pageant,
held in the afternoon. About 40 ma
chines were entered in the affair,
most of which were decorated. The
Redland band headed the line. Chas.
Parker, in a beautifully decorated
Overland, followed. The prize for
the best decorated machine was won
by Mr. Parker. His car was complete
ly massed in yel ow Scotch bloom.
The prize consisted of a $15 robe,
donated by SSitchel, Lewis & Staver
company.
The Western Stock Journal car
won the second prize of $5. This ma
chine was beautifully decorated with
small shocks of grain, greens and
spring blossoms. George Armstrong
of Logan, won the first prize for the
most unique car. His machine was
decorated with a mass of spring blos
soms. For the handsomest car, the
prize was divided between George
Sullivan and 15. T. McBain, both driv
ing Cole autoiobiles. For the best
community machine, the prize was
given to Oak Grove.
H. T. Cross appeared in the par
ade with his machine carrying at
least 18 children. Hugh Hendry was
in a prettily decorated car.
The parade was one of the most
successful ever given in this city, and
considering the threatening weather,
which kept many from dcorating their
cars, the showing was very creditable.
T. W. Su.livan managed the parade.
In the morning another stock par
ade was. held, wuicii was the .same as
Friday morning's, with a few addi
tions. Both parades were witnessed
by larger crowds than those which
appeared Friday. and everybody
seemed to feel satisfied with what
they saw.
An interesting feature - was the
''team pull" in tae aliernooa op 4th
street. This aflair was gotten up. at
the last minute by Uothweil Avison.
but was entirely successful. Sledges
were loaded with pig iron, and the
various teams of Horses were made
to try their strengta. on each siedge.
The sledges were gradually made
havier, and the team that could not
pul. three feet was eliminated. Among
the entries were Fuller and bain, one
team; Oregon Engineering and Con
struction company, three teams; and
Williams Brothers, one team. D. W.
Fuller, driving a 3200-pound team, be
longing to Moitatt & Parker, won the
first prize of $10. E. W. Craig, driv
ing a 3,000-pound team, also belonging
to Moffatt & Parker, won the second
prize. L. Smith, driving a 2800
pound team belonging to Williams
Brothers captured the third prize. A
little over 6,000 pounds was pulled
by the' winning team. The Wiliams
team considering its light weight, did
enceedng y well. This team is used
in the drayage service daily, and is
one of the heartiest pair of draft
MOVING PICTURES

Moving pictures of sa'mon fishing
at the falls are to be taken Sunday
by a Portland concern, and after be-!
iug developed will be offered to pro
ducers of "picture weeklies." Excit
ing scenes of anglers hattling with
the gamey fish w-ill be shown in the
views, as well as a supberb panorama
of the falls and the milling industries

the river now, and in addition to thn
sport side of the pictures, the scenic
beauty of the falls will be shown in
almost their original grandeur.
The pictures will be taken as early
In the morning as is possible, so as
to get the best light. The Sunday
crowd of sportsmen in boats, casting
in the midst of the treacherous ed

FiRE LADS RACE
OVER WET STREETS
One of the novel stunts of the
closing Booster Day celebration was
the try-out on Main street between
Mountain View Hose company No. 1
and Greenpoint Hose company No. 5.
Rain somewhat spoiled the battle
royal between the rival bodies of fire
fighters, because it made the pave
ment too slippery for the complicated
movements of the "New York water
test," which it had been planned to
hold. As it was, however, there was
excitement and enthusiasm enought
in the "straight test."
Dashing from the starting point,
the two teams made a short run,
coupled to hydrants, and unreeled
hose before turning the water' into
play. . Both companies had been prac
ticing for the event, and fast time
was made. Mountain View won out
by about three and a half seconods,
and so won the prize put up for the
event by the Commercial club. The
members of Greenpoint company had
made special preparations for the
New York test, and say that if that
had been put on results would have
b?en different.
Prizes in the school children's par
ade were awarded Saturday by the
judges For best attendance and
drill the $10 award was given to the
Eastham school, and the second prize
went ro the Barclay school.
Another feature of the two-diy cele
bration that attracted much com
ment was the Shetland pony colt ex
hibited at the stock show and on the
street'by Prof. RomHr, of Canby. The
little animal stood scarcely knee-high
when compared to the average man,
and was as gent'e and playful as a
kitten. At the display barn it was j
allowed the freedom of the floor, and j
took an especial interest in babies,
trotting up to nearly every baby car
riage and go-cart that was grought in,
and sniffing at the diminutive occu
pant. Many of the tots looked with
longing eyes at the "play horse.''
The close of the Booster Day cele
bration Saturday ni-Tht was much
quieter than was- expected. While
there was considerable good natnred
fun on the street, the Booster Day
dance at Busch's hall attracted much
of the crowd, and the remainder went
home early. Feather "ticklers" play
ed an important part in the street
fun, as did rubber balls held Captive
on the end of a yard of elastic. Th-er'j
was no rough humor attempted, and
the police had. little difficulty "in
keeping order.
COMMHRCiAL CLUB
'LANS BALL TEAM
Not to be outdone by other organ
means of recreation and rivalry for its
izations, and also to furnish a novel

"SOMEBODY LIED;"
MOT OREGON CITY
Attracted by the exhibit of the Ore
gon City Commercial1 club at the
Mnneapolis Land Show, J. J. Sullivan
of Minneapolis, arrived in the qity
Saturday on a scouting tour for farms
for six families from his home. town.
These families, all of whom visited
the big western resources exhibit in
the eastern city, have been so im
pressed with the showing made by
Clackamas"county that they have dep
utized Mr. Sullivan to pick out suit
able locations in this neighborhood
for them.
"I am the second one of us to come
West as a resu't of the Oregon ex
hibit's at the land show," said Mr.
Sullivan." Portland's exhibit brought
the first man out, and he returned
with the report that the things Port
land claimed for its territory were
not borne out by the conditions that
he found. However, we did not be
lieve that all men in the west had ex
aggerated things, So I was sent out.
I have found that the - Clackamas
county exhibit, while very fine and
alluring, did not do justice 1o the re
sources you have in this county, and
since I have jeported that, six fam
ilies have instructed me to find them
locations here.
"I want to say that I sm particul
arly impressed, not onf.y with the
agricultural 'and you have here, but
with the spirit and progressiveness
of your people. All of us who met
Mr. Freytag and his most efficient
aide, Mrs. 'reytag, at the Minneap
olis display, were impressed with the
work he was doing, and we felt that
a community that was represented by
such a man was well wrorth investi
gating. Since I have come here and
looked around, I am more favorably
impressed than ever with the coun
try. My friends and I are looking
for medium sized farms of rich soil,
favorably located for intensified
farming, and I think we have found
what we wanted."

SUNDAY SCHOOL MEET
DELEGATES RECEIVE INSPIRATION
Denominations Represented Aim to
' Co operate to Greater Extent
in Future Activity as Re
sult of Conference
After one of the most successful
gatherings in its history, the .State
Sunday Schooj association closed
here Saturday after a r!ay crowded
with features and addresses. Many of
the matters set for earlier on the pro
gram, which had been omitted on ac
count of the late arriva1 of speakers
were tiken up and completed,
The entire morning was taTen up
with departmental work, delegates of
the'Bantist, Christian, Presbyterian,
Methodist, Congregational, and oth-
er churches meeting separately, and
discussing the. best manner in .which
denominational distinctions could be
maintained and still permit of co
operation between the different
churches. Teacher trainire. stand
ards of class organization, and corel
ation of subjects were also taken up
and discussed in detail.
An interesting feature of the clos
ing day was a demonstration by Mrs.
L. A. Danenhower and a picked class
of methods in Sunday School' instruc
tion. This was largejy attended by
the delegates, and proved of partic
u'ar value to the many who are plan
ning greater activity as the result of
the inspiration received at the three
day convention.
The addresses of note for the day
were delivered by Dr. Edward H:
Todd, of Willamette university, who
snoke on "The Educational Value of
the Sunday School," pointing out
many way through which Sabbath
classes could be., utilized to teach
other things besides religious axioms
and doctorines. He advocated the
training of the young in patriotism,
integrity and good citizenship, alL of
which he demonstrated as being easi
ly interpolated in the courses of study
as adjuncts to the various incidents
of BiVe history as they were taken
up. William A. Brown, of Chicago,
who proved one of the most popular
speakers of the convention, gave his
closing ta"k of a series, his subject
being, "Five. Ways of Working."
The afternoon session was brief,
and aside from the announcements
of election of new officers, was con
cluded with a few words from the
secretary of the association, and re
marks by delegates, most of whom
took the floor to tell in what way
they had been helped by the ses
sions. After adjournment most of
the delegates ramained in the city
until evening, spending the time in
shopping, and in viewing the features
of the Booster Day - celebration and
the annual Clackamas County Stock
show. .''

niiADAMTmrn
IS GLADSTONE LAW
To take steps for the strictest quar
antine of cases of scarlet fever, of
which several have been reported,
ihe police and health committee of
Gladstone city council met Saturday
afternoon in special session. Com
plaint had been made by numerous
citizens of the matter in which the
ru es were enforced, but the council
men, instead "of lessening the quar
antine, made still more rigid provi
sions for the isolation and immedi
ate reporting of all cases.
. D A. Darcy was appointed truant
officrr for the city schools particular
lv with the scarlet fever epidemic in
view, and instructions were issued
that all absences from classes should
at. once be reported to him by the
several teachers. Mj Darcy will at
once investigate why children are
away from school, and in case of
sickness wlT notify Dr. Hempstead,
the city physician, who will examine
the chi'dren and determine what may
be wrong. If indications of scarlet
fever are found, a strict quarantine
will at once be enforced upon the
child. TTnder this svlstem it is be
lieved safe to permit the schools to
remain open for the present.
Some mild indignation was express
ed, informally, at the jmeeting against
an Oregon City physician who took
i to the Gladstone hospital -last week
j a p-Hent. suffering from smallpox.
! Thp rt'':t, a resident of a suburb of
f Oresron City, is completely iso'ated,
but te Gladstone councilmen wish
that doctor's desire to keep Ore
ra City from the smallpox column
ad not been quite so pronounced.
Further attempts to import contagi
ous diseases, if made, may result in
formal protest to the Oregon City
authorities, it is said.

jot ini. diph9
UI ULnv, WMH
COQUILLE, Or., April 26 (Spe
cial) Charging that J.' C. LaFrance
bi'ked insurance companies and
lodges out of $15,000 on insurance
policies paid upon his supposed death
a man whom the authorities declare
is the "dead man," but who gives the
name of A. P. Ferger, was arrested
here late this afternoon. -It is said
that LaFrance -substituted the body
of another man, dressed it in his
clothes, and then disappeared, leav
ing his wife to coj'ect the money. A
woman has been arrested with "Merg
er," and is presumed to be Mrs. La
France. LaFrance was supposed to have
been drowned in the Clackamas river
near Oregon City, last June. No body
'was recovered for sometime, and
then a badly decomposed corpse was
found, and bore LaFrance's cloths
and personal papers. Life insurance
was paid with but little question.
Among the insurance organizations
that suffered, if a fraud was perpet
rated, were the Woodmen and Arti
sans. "Ferger" will be taken to
Portland for trial.
Sheath gowns, poodle dogs and
girls who "dress to be looked at"
were generously condemned at the
First Oregon State Girls' Conference,
that opened in the Presbyterian
church Saturday afternoon, immedi
ately following the close of the State
Sunday School convention, and which
will continue its sessions Sunday.
The exercises were opened with de
votional singing, led by Miss Mar
guerte Moore. The purpose of the
gathering was allegorically represent
ed by the Wue and white badges
worn by the members, the blue 'Stand
ing for loyalty and the white for pur
ity. Devotional services were led by
Mrs. E. B.' Andrew, after which a
charming solo was rendered by Miss
Agnes Fries.
With Mrs. L. A. Danenhauer pre
siding, Miss Ruth Brightbill welcom
ed the delegates to the city, and a fit
ting response to the greeting was
made by Miss Edith Daugherty, of
Portland. Mrs. F. W. Ormsby, state
superintendent of secondary grade
Sunday school work, then outlined
the design of the conference, point
ing out the pressing need of work for
girls, so that they might exert a
greater and better influenffe in all
communities. Mrs. Ferguson opened
a discussion of "What I think of the
Conference." and many of the dele
gates gave their views as to the need
of organized work.
A most interesting address upon
"Dress, its Effect upon Morals,'' was
delivered by Miss W. P. Chandlers,
assistant to Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of
the municipal department of public
safety for young women in Port' and.
Miss Chandlers said that there were
two kinds of girls, "those who were
looked at, and those who were ad
mired." Simplicity in dress was ad
vocated, and "sheath gowns" and
other modern devices for the revela
tion of the human form were spoken
of merely as initial steps on the
wrong path. Miss Chandlers urged
all the delegates to model their de
portment and dress upon the daugh
ters of President Wilson, who are
noted for their ideals of modesty and
simplicity.
A chorus of Gamma Beta girls from
the Sunnyside congregational church
furnished acceptable music, after
which Miss H. Alena Wolfe spoke on
"Am I My Sister's Keeper." Miss
Mb fe's plea was for higher ideals,
and discouraged the fondling of
poodle dogs and fads. The youngest
member of the Portland Graded
Union, Miss Stella Wilson, then at
tacked the subject, "Am I my Broth
TOPICS OF SCHOOL
'COURSE DISCUSSED
Interesting talks upon the new
training school for teachers were giv
en at a meeting of the Clackamas
County Schoolmen's c'Ub i held at
Gladstone Saturday evening, the
scheme of the proposed departure
being outlined by County Superin
tendent T. J. Gary. Members of the
Gladstone school . board and the city
officials also attended," and the ladies
of the city served an excellent repast.
Talks were also made by City Su
perintendent Tooze, of 'Oregon City,
who gave his views upon the manner
in which geography should be taught;
Carl F. Anderson, who spoke on the
language work which will be a part
of the training school course, and the
Rev. Vedder, who spoke upon the
value of arithmetic as a school study.

A duet by the Misses Mary Brobst

by Mrs. M. Morse was given, Miss
Lina James, of the Portland Y. W.
C. A. then spoke on the particular
appropriateness of holding the initial
conference for girls' work in Oregon
City, where the thought of this ac
tivity had first been given birth. The
session was closed by a chorus se ec
tion by the choir of the Third Pres
byterian church, Portland.
A banquet to the delegates by or
ganized girls' classes of Oregon City
was served at six o'clock, following
which the committees on organiza
tion and election of officers reported.
The first committee, composed of
Mrs. Ormsby, Miss Jean Wolverton,
Miss Clarke and Miss Pierce, reported
that the design of the movement
should be "to awaken girls to their
real responsibilities to Christ, to pro
mote loyalty of purpose and purity of
heart, and to broaden the scope of
their influence." It was voted that
the mottp and aim of the organization
be "every girl get a girl."
The committee on election, nomin
ated the following officers, which
were all chosen at the evening sest
sion: President.Miss A. Hulburt,
Oregon City; vice,-preisident. Mists

In closing the first day's session
the convention adopted the follow

Ormsby, Mrs. Danenhauer, Miss
Wo'fe, Miss J. Corey, leader of the
Camp Fire Girls, and all who have

kindness in giving rates to this convention."
CATTLE MARKETS
TONE !S BETTER
Receipts for the week have been:
cattle 1522, calves 34, hogs 16S0,
sheep S42, horses G7.
A steadier catWe market due to a
large proportion of well finished
steers. Top load during the six days
sold at 8:15, others at 8.00 and 8.10.
Bulk top is just steady at 8.00. But
cher stock has been comparatively
scarce and all lines firmer. Beef
liquidation was liberal and outlet is
none to broad. Medium and poor
stuff is difficult to sell at any price.
Steers at 8.00. cows 7.00 bul's. 6,00
and calves 9.00 are extreme levels in
the cattle market.
Swine trade suffered further losses
this week which would have been
more severe had not receints been
small. 8.75 is considered a liberal
top with an occasional sale at 8.85.
Tendency is downward and market
circles pessimistic.
Another slow week in the sheep
house featured only by an 8.75 lamb
transaction. A1! mutton classes are
strong. Demand is good and prices
on firm basis.
" MINSTRELS DO WELL
The first rehearsal of the minstrel
troupe of the Oregon City Commercial
club, to be held upon a regular stage,
will be in Shivley's Opera House -Monday
evening. The members are
all enthusiastic-over the progress
that is being made, .and everybody
who has had the privilege of having
the splendid work that is being done
believes that the minstrel show will
be the greatest amateur production
ever attempted in this city. The
chorus work is remarkable, and no
doubt the principle will prove as
good.
