CIS 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 TO SHOW ANGLERS 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 surrounding them. Water is high in 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 dies and rushing waters will be phown, the whole scene being one at once novel and exciting. It is ex:' Pflcted that there wi"l be found a ready sale for the views, and that through them one of the chief de lights of the Oregon City section will be shown to , the world at large through the medium of the "movies." The pictures will first be exhibited in Portland theaters. The fo'lowine is a list of unclaim ed letters at the Oregon City post office for the week ending April 25, 1913.

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 members, the Oregon City commer cial club is going to have a ball team, and organization and .financing nave already been taken care of. There is 9 'ot of championship material in the club membership, many members of former winning Oregon City teams being enrolled, and these will all come out. Among those who will volunteer for the team are: "Brick" Carothers, "Auk" fmith, Pete Long, Fred Free man, "Trink" Rittenhouse, Johnny Mulkey, Jack Telford, Ed Lavier, "Nine" Long, Oliver Frost, Hugh Burdon, "Switz" Vonderahe, Clyde Stokes, "Mott ' Roos and a few other local players. The first tryout will be held Sun day and those chosen will make up the team. When the team is fairly well organized they will give a -dance in Busch's hall to help defray the expenses of the season. The uni forms will be gray with greeri stripes and will be made for the team by the Oregon City Manufacturing company. "Commercial Club" will be carried in script on the shirts and "O. C." inter woven on the sleeves. The club will p ay teams in Portland, Salem, As toria, Eugene, Corvallis, Albany and other teams in the state. The officers elected were as fol lows: Gilbert E.

"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." SOPOUND SALMON CAUGHT- IN RIVER 50-POTJND SALMAN. Anton Stanich was the' most lucky fisherman of Oregon City Saturday, when he 'anded two fine salmon, one weighing 50 and the other 28 pounds. Both fish were caught with a hook and line, and the fifty-opnuder is sup posed to be the best catch mad-e in Oregon City with a hook and line this season. The fishing is unusually good at the present time, and a large delegation will be on the river Sun day.

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. .'' (Continued on Page. 4.) 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. .C.LAFRANCE 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. FORMER OREGON CITY GIRL TO WED POPULAR FIGHTER License was issued Friday to John Lewis and Margaret Brown to be mar ried. Mliss Brown is the daughter of Wil liam Brown, a former resident of this city,- and has a host of friends here. John Lewis has achieved consider able fame as a prize fighter of no little standing. During last fell he made a trip to California and won severaj fights. He is 21 years old. A bright future is predicted for him. Odd Fe'lows at Aurora celebrated the 94th anniversary of the founding of their order Saturday afternoon with a banquet and general meeting. There was a large attendance, and the exericses were of the most im pressive and beautiful variety. Grant B. Dimick, of Oregon City, was the orator of the day. 20 ACRES, 3J2 MILES FROM MOLALLA, ALL LEVEL LAND AND FENCED; 15 ACRES SLASHED ONLY $1,40; $50.00 CASH, BALANCE TO SUIT AT 7 PER CENT. W. A.

A duet by the Misses Mary Brobst and Grace Rose followed. After a solo 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 Jennie Pierce, Salem; secretary and treasurer, Miss Stella Wilson, Port land. An advisory board consisting of Mrs. S. W. Ormsby, Mrs. Ferguson Mrs. Britts," Mrs. Danenhauer, Miss Lillian Miller, Miss Helen Watts, Mass Myrtle Mills, Miss Mildred Car lyle, and the secondary superintend ent of Grants Pass was also appoint ed. The nominations were made by Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. H. N. Smith, Mrs. E. B. Andrews and Miss Alma Haskins. In closing the first day's session the convention adopted the follow ing resolution: "Be it resolved that the First Girls' Conference of the state of Oregon ex tends thanks, first to the people of the Presbyterian church who have given us the use of their church building; second, to Mrs. Andrews and the ladies who so ably assisted her and the young ladies of the dec oration committee; third, to Mrs. Ormsby, Mrs. Danenhauer, Miss Wo'fe, Miss J. Corey, leader of the Camp Fire Girls, and all who have taken part in the program; fourth, to the ' railroad companies for their 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.
