MORNING ENTERPRISE, SATURDAY, MA.Y 3, 1913:
SCHOOL ATHLETES
SEEOEWHOW
The Oregon City high school track
team will meet the team from Van-
urday afternoon. The men from
Oregon City are much enthused over
the meet as it is the first one of con
sequence which they have entered
aside from the Columbia track meet
in Portland this year.
Vancouver has a fine team, and al
though the Oregon City boys are
dubious about the results, they never
theless believe that they will make
a good showing.
Vancouver high school defeated
Lincoln high school of Portland re
cently by a score of 71 to 46. They
have one of the strongest prep, school
aggregations in the Northwest this
year.
The men who will make the trip
from Oregon City are: Cross, Dam
bach, Farr, Haleston, Kellog, Rotter,
Myers, Ostrom, and Captain Kent
Wilson. Manager Beatis and Coach
Wagner will also make the trip.
DIVORCE IS SOUGHT
Mrs. Nellie Riddell, who married
Edwin Riddell in Portland in 1904,
has filed suit for divorce, alleging
cruelty and non-support. In her com
plaint Mlrs. Riddell charges her hus
band with having abused her in the
presence of friends, and complains
that he spent most of his earnings in
saloons.
CITY ACQUIRES
(Continued from Page 1.)
draul engineer, whose advice has
been of much aid to the special com
mittee in their search for a water
supply that would not only serve the
present needs of the city; but that
would provide a sufficient flow of
water to meet all future require
ments. During the past week the commit
tee visited many sites that had been
under consideration, 'but was unable
to close a deal with other owners
owing to the inflated values placed
upon property as soon as it was dis
covered that a water supply was be
ing sought. Many people seemed to
regard the pressing need of the city
for a new source of supply as a gold
en opportunity to get rich quick,
and figures quoted to the special
committee were both astounding and
appalling. The Ladd interests, how
ever, expressed a desire to co-operate
with the city, and have made ex
cellent terms, it is said.
uicoufauuna so lar conducted
lead to the belief that there is abund
ance of pure water underlying the
Ladd property, and that some of it
will rise to the surface In artesian
wells as soon as shafts are sunk. It
may be necessary, however, to install
a pumping plant to get a sufficient
supply to the surface to provide the
volume of water that will be requir
ed for municipal consumption. With
the water once at the surface, the
elevation of the ground is sufficient
to provide an excellent head of wa
ter in the pipes) and to give a con
stantly available fire pressure in the
business section of the city.
If the muncsipality purchase' the
site upon which the option has been
procured, the area will be made a re
serve, and in thlsh way all possible
sources of contamination will be re
moved. Indications are that tha wa
ter is running in a limestone forma
tion, and it probably has its source
high upon the snow-clad sides of the
Cascades, or on Mount Hood. Hy
draulic engineers say that tha supply
ought to prove one "of the best in
Western Oregon, and the only ques
tion that now remains to be settled
is whether or not a sufficient volume
of flow can be obtained.
RECORDER'S OITICE
Fees received by County Recorder
Dedman for the filing and recording
of deeds and other documents during
the month of March amounted to
$717.74. While this is not establish
ing a record for the month, the
amount is much larger than usual,
and reflects much activity in real
property and timber land in the coun
ty. Many of the deeds filed were for
small pcrtions of large land holdings,
and indicate a general partitioning
of bigger properties and their sale to
new settlers.
Timber lands were unusually free
in sale, and show that there is soon
to be much cutting of prime timber
in the county. Many right-of-way
deeds were also recorded during the
past month, showing conclusive proof
of railroad activity in the county.
Owing to the fact that many deeds
representing sales of property valued
high in the thousands gave but "$10
and other considerations" as th9
amount paid, it is impossible to esti
mate the actual cash value of the
transfers.
GUN CLUB SHOOT SET;
TEAM TO BE FORMED
The Clackamas County Rod & Gun
club will hold a practice shoot upon
its range, just west of the suspension
bridge, Sunday. This is the first

pected that there will be a consider
ate,, turn-nut tr nualifv for subse
quent team work. In former compet
itions the Oregon City marksmen
have always more than held their
own against rival organizations.
JASPER DAVtS BURIED
Jasper Davis, who died at his home
in Sunnyside Monday, was laid at
rest. Thursdav afternoon in Clack
amas cemetery. Services at the
prfivft were conducted by Mrs. Con
don, of Portland. Mr. Davis was a
native of Springfield, Ohio, and was
brought to Oregon by his parents in
1853. He was for many years a res
ident of Linn county.

THE OLD SPRING.
Do you remember it? The surround-"
ings may vary somewhat in each man's
case, but there is generally an old
spring under the hill, just as there are
a swimming bole and a particular big
tree and a cave and all the things that
are so precious to a boy.
And when the boy grows big these
things stay with him. even though he
goes to the other side of the earth
The particular spring of which I am
talking was down a hill behind the
house. It was an old house, with holly
hocks and roses growing around, locust
trees and cedars in the front yard and
a wealth of flowers.
But the bare feet that did my boy
ish navigating did not lead me so much
among the flowers in front as they did
down the winding path back of the
house to the old spring under the hill.
There I did my dreaming.
1 have never found water quite so
cold and sweet as Sowed from that
spring.
A little rill ran from it over the peb
hles and down tbe hill, through the
copse and the lower woods, away and
away to the creek and thence to the
river. .
To me this was a river of dreams. I
did not see it till years afterward. And
I must make a confession, however
Iconoclastic it may sound: That river
came fully up to my expectations. The
enchantment on seeing it was equal to
the boyissb vision.
But this, as I said, was years later.
Once in tbe early days my bare feet
toddled far down the little rill, trying
to follow it to the creek and river.
There came nearly being a lost boy
that day. Had it not been dinner time
there might have been a different
story. But when I got to the foot of a
big, big hill on a neighbor's farm the
gnawings of hunger got the better of
curiosity, and I streaked it back at the
clang of the dinner bell. The appetite
for grub was stronger than the appe
tite for adventure.
The old spring was surrounded by
big trees. I especially remember a
sycamore and an oak.
I think the sun never shone so al
luringly on green leaves as it did on
the broad leaves of that sycamore. The
glisten somehow colored my dreams.
Nor did a rill ever sing more sweet
ly than did the little one meandering
from the old spring I hear it yet.

sciousness i tnink I have beard it al-wnvs

Arlington is a delightful town to live
in. There is a clubhouse where both
sexes meet socially, a library, a racket
club indeed, everything to encourage
! socia bility. And there has never been
a time when there has not been a set
of young persons at that delightful in
' terval between the coming on and go
' ing off the stage of their early homes.
' . Everybody in Arlington remembers
tbe period when Jacqueline Miller was
right in the middle of her young lady
hood. She was the life of the social
circle. And how she would flirt! It
was generally understood that she
could bring down any man she chose
i to go for within a week, and she had
I been known to do it in a single day.
I When the fellows saw her go hunting
' for one of their members they called
him Davy Crockett's coon and told him
he might as well come right ddwn.
But, strange to say, nobody blamed
Jack for flirting. They did not con
sider that she would have been herself
if she didn't flirt Everybody knew
what she was; everybody was there
fore warned. Consequently there was
nothing dishonorable about it. There
was one case in which the fellow she
tackled was ignorant of her peculiar
idiosyncrasy. But there was nothing
dishonorable about that, for she mar
ried him.
The only place the Arlington young
people thought worth going to was
New York. The distance was seventy
miles, but what are seventy' miles to
youngsters bent on having a good time?
Parties have been known to go to the
city for the theater and return on a
midnight train. One evening several
Arlington boys were at the club
in the city when the conversation turn
ed on athletics, which It need not be
stated is a popular subject with young
persons. One of the party Ned Mun
gle, not an Arlington man bad done
some remarkable stunts at walking,

CAME TO A FARMHOUSE.
Benedict. Alan offered to bet him that
he louldn't-walk the distance In a giv
en number of hours.
"Not long enough," Mungle objected.
"Very well; make It a triangular
course through Glenwood and Big
Rock. That'll give you a distance of
about 150 miles."
After a great deal of talk a bet was
made between Mungle and Benedict
The stakes were to be the entire ex
pense for a theater party of a dozen
Arlington couples to New York. The
walk was to be made in three days.
.Mungle, never having been over the
ground or to Arlington, received de
tailed instructions as to the route, for
no one of the party could spare the
time to go with him, and. since it was
merely a gentlemen's bet for fun, no
watch was required. When all bad
been arranged the party broke up,
bidding adieu to tbe pedestrian, who
was to start the next morning.
It was the spring of the year, when
all nature was starting into a renewed
life, and Mr. Mungle enjoyed his walk
immensely. He kept a steady gait,
did his fifty miles before dark and
slept soundly all nigbt The next day
tie. was a trifle sore, but did bis dis
tance without trouble. The third day
he was in better trim than on either
of the others. About 4 o'clock in the
afternoon he was approaching a cot
tage not far from Arlington when he
saw a girl leaning over a stone wall
looking nt him. Though he was a
stranger to her, she wore a very pleas
ant smile on her lips, and Mungle. by
way of scraping an acquaintance, asked
her if she would be good enough to
tell him the distance to Arlington. She
said it was ten miles.
"In that mse." said Mungle, "I think
I'll rest a hit. I've plenty of time."
'Time for what?" asked the girl.
"To make Arlington before 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning."
"Hare you come far?"
"From New York. I left there the
iay before yesterday morning to 'wall:
to Arlington in three days."
"Good gracious! You must be awful
ly tired."
"On tbe contrary, I'm as fresh as a
daisy.",
"Aren't you hungry?"
Mungle was so proud of himself that
he was about to reply that he wasn't
at. all hungry when it occurred to him
that it would be very nice to accept
a morsel from tbe fair bands of this
pretty girl. Indeed, she was more than
pretty. She was unique.
"Are you sure you have plenty of
time?" asked the girl.
"Loads."
"Well, come in and I'll get yon a cup
of tea and W- of bread and butter."
She led BTm to a porch over which

were banging vines and. going into the
house, soon returned with some dainty
slices of buttered bread, a china teapot
and appurtenances. The cup Hnd saucer
were extremely thin. She set them on
a. table and. sitting opposite Mungle.
poured out tbe tea and banded It to
him.
That tea didn't need any sugar. It
was sweetened by a pair of rosy lips,
bright eyes and. above all. a person
ality that Mungle found entrancing.
She asked him all about his trip, his
diet, the number of miles be walked
without resting-indeed. all the details
attending a walk of such importance.
Mungle told her everything she asked
and a great deal she didn't ask. After
starting him she let him talk ou.
just sitting before bim with her eyes
fixed intently on his, drinking In every
word he said. Presently he remarked:
"You seem to take a great interest
in athletics.".
"I do. I'm especially fondof walk
ing myself."
"Indeed."
"Yes; I walked out here from Arling
ton this morning."
"You don't mean It? When do you
go back?"
"1 think I will go tomorrow."
"Will you walk back?"
"Certainly."
"1 wish you were going this after
noon. I would be happy to escort you."
"Thank you very much. I couldn't
do so much hs that iu one day. 1 shall
be up with the sun and walk home to
breakfast."
This set Mungle to thinking. . How
delightful to take the rest of the tramp
when the dew was on tbe grass and in
company with this charming creature.
"If it were not presumptuous." be
said. "I might remain over and finish
my walk at the same time as you."
"Why presumptuous?"
"Well, you know, 1 have no formal
acquaintance with you."
"Nor do you need oue. I know a gen
tleman when 1 see him." .
"Then yon will permit me?"
"1 shall be delighted with your com
pany and grateful for your escort"
That settled it. Mungle was invited
to tea. where be met the girls, aunt
and uncle and when they "learned that
he was to spend the night in the neigh
borhood invited him to remain under
their roof. He said he never slept in
a bouse when he could help it, but
would accept the swinging lounge on
the porch. He sat up diatting with
the young lady till nearly midnight,
and when they parted it was agreed
that after coffee and rolls in the morn
ing they would start at 4 o'clock on
their walk. Tbe girl invited Mungle to
breakfast with her at her owu home,
from whence he could go to the Ar
lington club, where be must put in an
appearance before 9 o'clock or lose his
bet t
That ten mile walk was made'under
a handicap, but it was the most deli
cious distance Mungle ever made. On
the way the girl slipped on a stoDe
and sprained her ankle. Mangle had
a choice of leaving her or carrying
her, for if he did neither be would lose
his bet. He concluded to carry ber
till they came to a farmhonse. where
a horse and buggy were procured; then
be put her In It and 'walked beside her.
What took place during all this time
has never been told,
- The two readied Arlington only in
time for a hasty breakfast; then Mun
gle proceeded to the club, which be
reached ten minutes before 9 o'clock,
and found those interested in his walk
waiting for him. Benedict, the loser
of the bet. looked surprised.
"I never expected to see you do that
walk on time." he said to Mungle.
"Why not?"
"Because 1 sent Jacqueline Miller out
to waylay and detain you."
Mungle greeted this statement with a
blank stare of amazement.
"I placed her In a cottage, beside the
road about ten miles from here, gave
her the time you would be likely to
pass the cottage and bade her look out
for you "
The wonder gradually passed from
Mungle's face and was replaced by a
proud, triumphant, happy look.
"She missed yon?" asked Benedict
"No."
"Well?"
"She was at her post and invited me
in the cottage I slept on the porch, and
at 4 o'clock this morning we started to
walk in together. She sprained- her
ankle, and I was obliged to carry her
part way to her home. She could eas
ily have kept me from winning the
bet. but she didn't choose."
"Why not?" -
A beautiful smiie overspread the ath
lete's features
"I ciin answer that question, fel
