competition.
"On April 12, the day of the Ora
torical contest, the judges met in Mr.
Gary's office and awarded the prizes
to Elva Linten and Kent Moody, of
Oregon City, the only two . qualified
entries. It appears that Mr. Ford
and his competitors were at Glad
stone, the place where the contest
was to be held, but owing to his ne
gligence in not making the enry the
latter were ineligible. Not being en
tered, t'ney were not notified that the
contest was declared off at Gladstone.
"It seems to me that the matter is
squarely up to Mr. Ford, and not the
county superintendent or the secre
tary. It is not the latter's duty to
follow up notifications with any indi
vidual principal and make him re
member to take advantage of these
notifications. That is their business.
"Very respectfully yours,
"SAMUEL ADLER,
"Secretary of League."

Estacada entrants -thought there would
be a contest at Gladstone on a certain
date, and theywere on hand ready to
deliver their orations. The judges,
not knowing of this, owing to some
confusion somewhere in the matter,
did not go to Gladstone, but met in
Oregon City and considered the only
tw0 orations of which they knew.
These two won the awards.
WEST SIDE FOLK
PLAN Gil RULE
(Continued from page 1)
been taltsn up at several times dur
ing the past five years, but hereto
fore has never received popular sup
port because it was looked upon as a
step towards annexation to Oregon
City. People living across the river
did not want to be saddled with
charges on Oregon City's water and
sewer systems, and so have combatted
every move that seemed to point to
wards a joining with the older com
munity. The present plan of incor
poration, however, is designed- ex
pressly to be a protest against annex
ation, and is being undertaken with
the understanding that there shall be
no union of the two communities for
many years, at least. At the last ses
sion of the legislature a law provid
ing for the union of the two commun
ities was introduced, but failed to
pass,' largely because of the opposi
tion of the west siders.
Following the discussion of incor
poration plans, a musical enter
tainment was provided by Prof. C. F.
Anderson, who gave .vocal and Instru
mental music, and by a quartet com
posed of the Misses Brown, Bailey
and Winkle and P. J. Winkle. Piano
accompaniment was by Mrs. P. J.
Winkle.
PORTLAND PAPER
IS COOD BOOSTER
The Portland Evening Telegram,
in its issue of Wednesday afternoon,
hands a couple of editorial bouquets
to Oregon City, thus helping to spread
the glad tidings about the prosperity
and happiness of this . community
throughout the state. The Telegram
says:
"We read, as a news item from
Oregon City, that a Minneapolis man
has been about that burg for the" past
few days seeking a location In Clack
amas county for six Minneapolis fam
ilies who believe that Oregon is the
state in which to make their happy
homes. We are told that the most
immediate cause of this Minneapolis
man's visit and investigations is the
exhbit which the Oregon City Com
mercial club maintained at the Min
neapolis Land Show; and all of this
is further evidence that it pays to
show the goods.
"We cannot dwell too strongly up
on this method of advertising, for it
has been proven again and again that
the Oregon product placed on exhibi
tion carries conviction concerning the
fertility of Oregon soil, and the ad
vantages that exist in Oregon for the
thrifty and industrious farmer. We
may riterate that printer's ink has
served its turn as an agency of ex
ploitation and that having read, the
people of the East want now to be
shown. They have indicated to us
that it is the goods that count; and
the more firmly we get that fact in
mind, and the more persistently and
intelligently we act upon it the more
rapidly will follow the agricultural de
velopment of Oregon."
"In Oregon City they have tried
the experiment of putting the lid on
three lawless saloons, and the result
has been all that could be desired.
The management of these three places
were in the habit of -selling drink to
drunken men and minors; and from
that violation of the law there was a
steady grist of arrest for drunken ess
and drunken disturbance and fighting.
Licenses were refused to these places
and arrests for the offenses designat
ed have practically ceased.
"This experiment if tried anywhere
else will work out in exactly the same
fashion. If it were the policy in any
community to clap the lid on any sa
loon that was found violating the
law, and that policy were consistent
ly adhered to and were not permitted
to relapse into the dead-letter stage,
the saloon problem would be wond
rously simplified."
HUBBARD PEOPLE PLAN
COMMERCIAL CLUB WORK
People of Hubbard are to meet
early next week to organize a Com
mercial club to advance the resources
of the community that lies about 20
miles to the south of Oregon City. As
at the organization of the Molalla
Commercial club, there will be pres
ent a number of Oregon City and
Portland people, who will suggest to
the new boosters many ways in which
they can benefit themselves through
organized effort.
HILL LINES CHIEF
HAS PLANS READY
Announcement will shortly be
made by President Joseph 'H. Young,
of the Hill Lines In Oregon, of plans
for the extensions cf the Oregon Elec
tric system in the Willamette valley.
Mr. Young has just returned from a
conference of Hill chiefs in the East,
and while not yet ready to make any
definite statements about local work,
has said that plans and profiles would
soon be prepared for future work
south of Portland. - -
It is very generally believed that
the Hill lines will extend south from
their new East Side terminal property
at Belmon, Mbrrison, Third streets
and Union avenue, Portland, along
the eastern side of the Willamette
valley, and announcement of ' the
route to be followed and the regions
to be tapped is eagerly awaited. The
Hill interests have had agents out in
th9 Clackamas valley on several oc
casions, and this has led to the be
lief that they were planning to run a
line into the fertile timber and agri
cultural region lying along the shores
of the chief tributary of the lower
Willamette.
Activity of the Southern Pacific in
terests south of Oregon City has also
led to the belief that the Hill lines
were planning an invasion of their
territory, and that news of their in
tentions had leaked to the rival sys
tem, The announcement of President
Young, when made, will clear up
much of the mystery that has .sur
rounded local railroad plans, and will
probably contain news of the best sort
for the east side of the Willamette
valley.

duties of presiding over the city's
municipal destinies.

County Recorder Dedman expects
that the business of his office for the j
month of April will establish a new
record, particularly for the .filing of '
realty transactions. His clerks have !
been busy day in and day out handl-'
ing deeds and other conveyances, and '
when the total amount of business is
made up, there is every Indication
that a new high figure will be set for
the month's activity.
The recorder s office is a very fair
barometer of local business conditions
and business of a volume such as was !
handled In April indicates .general j
prosperity and development in the
county. Many of the .sales recorded
were of smaller portions of large hold- '
ings, indicating that land held for in-1
vestment is being cut up and sold to
settlers for intensive cultivation. I
There was also a considerable amount '
of movement in timber lands, which j
is another indication of prosperous
times.
IS MM PLAN
MAYOR, AS JUDGE,
PROVES STERN MAN
Mlayor Linn' E. Jones quit being
chief executive of the city for awhile
Thursday, and donned the figurative
ermine of city police magistrate, and
presided over police court. Recorder
Stipp, to whom .such duties usually
fall, was out of town.
The mayor was rather peeved at
being forced to ascend the bench, for
by so doing he had to take official
cognizance of the breaking of the ex
cellent record established in the
month of April, when but three ar
rests were made for drunkeness. His
honor, in short, was called upon to
try, on the first day of May, - two
thirds as many cases of acute inebria
tion as had com? up in court for the
whole of the preceeding month.
Two regulars of the army of Uncle
Sam, detailed from Vancouver bar
racks for special duty at the Clack
amas range, became tangled with
booze somewhere, and visited Oregon
City to celebrate; Chief Shaw prompt
ly corralled them, and police court
was opened pronto. After hearing
and viewing the evidence in the case,
Magistrate Jones fined the offenders
$15 each, or seven days in jail. Not
caring to spend so long a period of
forced desertion from duty, the
soldiers said they would try - to raise
the money. They were remanded tp
jail until funds were forthcoming, po
lice court adjourned, and the mayor
Richard Wagner will be the inspira
tion of a musical to be held in the
Congregational church Wednesday
evening, Mky 21, . the centennial of
Wagner's birth. The concert promises
to be something new in character and
excellent in quality. Dr. Gustav
Flechtner is organizing a special or
chestra to play selections from Tann
hauser, Lohengrin and other of the
great operas.
. H. J. Robinson, choir director, is to
train the chorus, and there will be
several solos, all selected from Wag
ner's operas. A reader from Portland
will deliver several readings from
the works of the great composser, so
as to illustrate his great dramatic
power.
The concert will be given under the
auspices of the Sunday School Coun
cil and the proceeds derived there
from will be used for alterations to
the church.

The only film saved from the un
fortunate expedition, of Cap. Scott, the
British antartic explorer, will be
shown at the Bell theatre today. This
film was found in a sealed can among
the effects of the brave party when
their frozen bodies were discovered
by the rescuing party which set out
in search of them last fall. This in
they only one of the numerous films
which were taken out by the exploorer
which was preserved, and which is
now being produced before the peo
ple. The pictures were taken at Captain
Scoft's direction, and give an excellent
idea of the terrible fastness of the
polar regions and of the great diffi
culties which are encountered by the
explorers. The pictures show the de
parture, of Captain Scott's ship the
"Terra Nova" from New Zealand, its
voyage through the Antartic seas, and
of the ship among the great ice and
berg fields. The strange bird life of
the frozen south is also shown with
amazing vividness.
