IVIORNING ENTERPRISE, THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1913
A Mother's
Scare
By EDITH V. ROSS
Mrs. Jaegar was not an educated wo
man; but, her husband having many
years before started in the soap boil
ing business and built up a large man
ufactory, the family were wealthy.
Two children came to the Jaegars, a
boy and a girl. Their parents gave
them an excellent education, and they
were both very fond of reading. There
was a library in the place where they
lived from which they constantly drew
books. Tom Jaegar read a great many
works of fictioa that have long ago
passed out of date and are only now
read by those who value them chiefly
for the pictures they give of a former
time. His sister. Ruth, was more mod
ern in her taste.
Mrs.' Jaegar was an ambitious wo
man and desirous that both her chil
lren should marry well. That meant
that she propoSeJ t3 tham to
make sure that they made no unfortu
nate entanglements. One day there
was a ring at the telephone and Mr.
Jaegar answered the call.
"Is Tom in?"
"Well, what is it?"
' "Tell him Evelina's here."
Whoever was at the other end of the
wire was evidently in a hurry, for the
receiver was dropped, and Mrs. Jaegar
was cut off from further inquiry. ,
"Who was Evelina?" Mrs. Jaegar
was at once seized with a sudden ter
ror She had never heard her son
speak of her, and this call for him to
come and meet her boded trouble. She
said no-hing to him about the call not
she. If the young woman were bold
enough to telephone to the house for
him she could not help it, but unless
he should reply to the call himself it
would avail nothing. Nor would Mrs.
Jaegar say anything about the matter.
If he were getting entangled with a
girl she would not let him know that
his secret was hers. Nothing would
feed the flame of love so much as op
position. But what was her consternation
when a few days later there came an
other ring at the telephone, and Ruth
was called for.
"What is it?" asked the mother.
"David Copperfield has Just come in."
There was the same click that had
followed the announcement that Eve
lina was waiting for Tom, indicating
the same hurry. Was it hurry? Did
not this go-between shut off the phone
that there might be no opportunity for
J:Jie person receiving the message to
ask questions? David Copperfield?
Never had she heard her daughter
mention any "such person, and Ruth
talked of all her friends freely. If the
fond mother feared for her son she was
in terror for her daughter. But Mrs.
Jaeger treated the matter with the
same caution she had practiced in the
case of her son. She would set a watch
on Ruth, but would not put her on her
guard by telling her that she had
stumbled upon this secret affair.
Mrs. Jaeger did not consider it prac
ticable to shadow her son, but she had
a maid whom she bribed to watch her
daughter. Never did Ruth go out but
this young woman found some errand
to take her out also. One afternoon
she came in from shadowing the young
lady and reported that she had seen
Rutti go up the steps of the library at
the same time with a young man whom
she appeared to be much pleased to
meet
"Aha!" said Mrs. Jaeger. "It's the
library where they meet. And they
have been hounding me for a subscrip
tion to buy books. Them cozy alcoves
are just the places for young people to
meet and flirt"
Mrs. Jaeger was called up again, and
her son was inquired for. This time it
was: "Tell him I would like to see him
about Evelina. There's another man
waiting"
Some one other than the speaker
butted in, and the sentence was not
finished. But Mrs. Jaegar had heard
enough. Heaven grant that the other
man would t get the girl away from
Tom and he would be saved a misal
liance. The good lady's patience was begin
ning to wane. he was drifting to
ward a point where she would not be
able longer to keep her knowledge a
secret from her son and daughter.
Despite her watchfulness she could
get no further information of either
of those clandestine affairs. One aft
ernoon her son and her daughter were
talking together in her hearing.
"I'm through with 'David Copper
field.' " said Ruth.
"And I'm through with "Evelina.
She was due at the library a week
ago."
"I'm glad you two have got through
with your beloveds. I've been wor
ried to death about you. I've known
all about these meetings at the libra
ry. First I got a telephone message
that F.velina was waiting for Tom
there, and the next message was that
this Mr. Copperfield was waiting for
Ruth af the same tlace. Who are
these persons anyway? I've never
heard nothing about them before."
Tom and Ruth looked at each other
and would have burst into a laugh
:ad the speaker not been their own
mother. As it was Tom said:
"Mother. 'Evelina' is a novel written
hy a young girl about a hundred years
ago. 'David Copperfield' is the name
bf one of Charles Dickens' books. The
librarian, Sue Young, whenever a book
we want is out holds it for us when
it comes in and notifies us over the
telephone."
"Well, 1 am mightily relieved," re
plied the fond mother.

MACKSBURG.
The charming weather of the past
week .has brought vegetation forward
with a rapidity that is well nigh in
credible. It is no exaggeration to say
that each morning gives a clearly per
ceptible view of the growth during
the preceding night. Ranchmen are
working with an energy inspired by
the conviction that now is the time
for seeds to be in the ground. In the
woods, especially, is the marvellous
advance of nature most striking,
where one comes upon some exquis
ite wild plant in flower, where a fort
night ago a flower was not thought
of. This is most noticeable to one
scanning the jungle in search of a
lost cow, sheep or some other fugi
tive from the ranchman's fold. The
otherwise irksome task resolves it
self, in great part, into a quest for the
lovely flowers, the graceful ferns and
the richly colored mosses so effective
and beautiful in decoration of the
home.
The fruit trees are more than lux
uriant in their wealth of blossoms. A
gseat yield is predicted, so abundant,
apparently, that we can well spare
the birds the remuneration they exact
in return not alone for their cheer
ing song, but for service rendered in
exterminating destructive insect life.
A very pleasant party assembled on

claims them as her own. In school,
especially, they are remembered pleas
antly by classmates and teachers alike
and all are wishing them a happy and
prosperous journey through life.

not come up to the requirements, so
only received a silver star, which
places us in Class B, on the building
qualifications. Our average attend
ance being 94 3-4 did not quite come
up to the average of 95, which is re
quired to be in Class A, also our di
rectors had not visited the 3Chool,
which is required also to be in Class
A. The clerk's reports were accur
ate and on time and all records prop
erly kept.

heating system will be properly seen
to, that our directors may have more
time to --isit the school and our chil
dreu will Bo their part toward raising
the average attendance to 95, so Jen
nings Lodge school may be in Clas3
A. The copy of the report will be
placed in the school room.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
WILSONVILLE JUVENILE FAIR
WILSONVILLE, Or., May 14. (Ed
itor of the Enterprise.) I would like
to say through the columns of your
most valuable paper, to our juvenile
contestants who joined in the Wilson
ville Fair in- Aug. 1912, and all those
who expect to join us in the coming
fair of September, 1913, that our Juv
enile Fair at Wilsonville, Oregon, ship
ped and had on exhibition at the State
Fair more exhibits than any other in
dividual juvenile fair in the state. Al
so the only one to have a whole car
to carry their exhibits, at which fair
we carried off $68.50 in cash prizes
from our 48 entrys. We also carried
off five of the seven of Clackamas
County's general prizes for its ten
juvenile county fairs. Cash value,
$48, and on August 29, 1912, we paid
to the children, cash in hand, $101.25
and-18 orders for goods, delivered,
cash value, $44; total cash value, $195.
25 Cash value, Oregon City, $48;
cash prizes from Salem, $68.50; cash
for prizes at Canby County fair, $8.50.
which makes a grand total of $320.25,
besides one day ticket each . to the
state fair and 15 one-day tickets at
the Canby County fair, which if divid
ed among our 108 exhibitors would
make nearly $3 each, not a small sum,
besides the ribbons and honors, mixed
with so much knowledge gained for
the three or four months' labor ex
panded. Now I would like to ask any
of the exhibitors to write a letter to
any paper, telling of what they did,
and how, and what prize they received
so that others may learn and become
interested, and they too, may join in
this year's contest, and instead of hav
ing 108 exhibitors we may have 801
or half that many. And again have
the best juvenile fair in the county.
A large showing at the state fair than
any juvenile fair in the state. We
have net the prize list out for this
year yet, but -expect to soon and to
make it good, trusting that the dona
tions from patrons and business men
and women of our section will as ably
finance this wonderful child labor in
dustrial extention work as they did
in 1912, much to the satisfaction of
themselves and many others who at
tended this fair. Our juvenile fair
will be held at Wilsonville, Oregon,
September 18, 1913.
thanking the patrons for their
courtesy and loyal assistance, also the
many children for their untiring ef
forts in my behalf for past as well as
future support, I respectfuly remain,
MRS. M. C. YOUNG,
Supt. Juvenile Fair.
RIVER'S CHARjM IS CITED.
OREGON CITY, Ore., May 14,
1913 (Editor of the Enterprise.) I
would like to call the attention of your
readers to one of the resources of
Oregon City for health and pleasure,
which I think has been somewhat ov
erlooked. I refer to the Willamette
River. Nobody forgets its water pow
er and we are constantly reminded of
its attractions for fishermen, but how
many people have ever discovered the
beauty of the river and its banks by
taking a long sail up or down it. Hard
ly a pleasure boat is to be seen on
its water and yet there never was a
rivar better adapted to canoeing all
they way to Corvallis, if not farther
At this season above the falls the riv
er extends for miles as smooth and
deep as a mill pond, but less used
than when the native savages made it
a highway.
I had occasion last week to discov
er the river by taking the steamer
that leaves Oregon City for Salem or
Corvallis at about nine o'clock every
day except Sunday. It is a large and
comfortable boat for a day's trip and
Secause of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs. Use
rarely over-crowded. At this season
tne passing panorama of the shores
is a constant delight to any lover of
rustic beauty. The Willamette does
not boast the grandeur of the Colum
bia, but winds between green shores
reflecting their foliage in quiet waters
and enlivens here and there with
peaceful farm houses. Not -many
towns or even villages are visible from
the boat's deck, no towering moun
tains or Rhineland Castles, but any
one who wants a day's vacation from
the demands of civilization can easily
obtain it along the peaceful waters of
the Willamette.
I discovered that one can sail on
in the up bound boat for half a. day
or so till he meets the boats going
down and be transferred to it and
reach home in Oregon City in time for
a six o'clock supper. If ever there
was a pleasure excursion that was not
an exertion this is it. The stops are
few and very uncertain. Occasionally
some cordwood is taken on to keep
the steam up, now and then some in
dividual announces that he .wants to
land about here and the steamer puts
her nose into the beach and lets him
off on a board. Sometimes the boat
goes bump Into the bushes and you
discover there is a trail to the waters
edge and a landing is made for some
body's horse.
The owner snouts from shore to in
quire if his horse is there and comes
out of the woods to claim him and
lead him away into the woods. Once
in a while some one shouts or waves
a hand and tic accommodating cap
tain picks him up.
The most modern looking object we
saw was the bridge of the Oregon
Electric ever the river at Wilsonville
the noisest was a saw mill near New
burg. The blue heron flies along the
lonely shore, . the eagle circles up to
the blue sky, the fish jump near the
shore and the birds are singing on
the bands Scotch bloom droops in
graceful abandon here and there and
the dogwood gleams against the dark
evergreens. It is enough to attract
tourists who love nature in her gent
lier moods but it is unspoiled by
crowds. It would seem as if made for
the people of Oregon City when they
want the luxury of a day away from
home.
We some times miss the cheap and
easy luxuries at our door. One, might
travel far and spend much for far less
rest and pleasure than he can have
on our own Willamette.

High School
:: News ::
The juniors entertained the seniors
Wednesday evening at Schnoerr park
giving a picnic. The' party left for
Willamette at four in the afternoon,
and on arriving at the park played
games until hunger drew all to the
luncheon prepared by Stella Cross,
Norma holman, Kent Wilson, Lyle
Kellogg and Roy Eaton. Joe Hedges
Elbert Charman, Helen Painton, Ray
Morris and Clyde Green were in
charge of the entertainment. Danc
ing was enjoyed later in the even
ing. .
Albert Schoth missed out recently
as a practical joker, and had the
tables turned upon him by Lyle Gault.
The latter's coat was in a second
story window, and Albert gave it a
shove, sending it to tne ground. When
Lyle went down to retrieve the lost
article, Albert emptied a basin of wa
ter on his head. Lyle, suspecting
the origin of the stunt, procured a
large pail of water and went on his
schoolmate's trail, finally cornering
him, and pouring the contents of his
bucket over the joker. Albert is
subsequently reported to have gone
home for dry apparel.
ROAD ASKS TARIFF .
Application has been made "by the
Clackamas Southern for tempor
ary tariffs on cordwood, and it is -expected
that the state railroad com
mis will grant this at once. There is
a vast supply of cordwood waiting in
the Beaver Creek country for the new
road, and as soon as the track is com
pleted, this will be brought out. Much
of this cordwood has heretofore been
hauled out, nine miles, by team over
the county roads, and the operation
of the railway will not only save this
haul, but will prevent further wear
ing away of the county roads by the
heavy loads from the timber districts.

VAUDEVILLE ACTS
PLANNED AT BELL
A. J. Bell, manager of the Bell
Theatre, is making extensive changes
in his "show shop." The building is
being lengthened and a large stage is
Deing placed on the back. The pres
ent stage will be entirely torn away,
and the auditorium lengthened by
about six feet. Back of this the stage
will extend for a depth of 15 feet, and
will be the entire width of the build
ing. The rear exits will also be
changedv so that there will be no stair
case, tnere being instead an incline.
'A large ar.chway will form the open
ing of the stage towards the auditor
ium. A feature of the stage will; be
that all curtains and scenery will ; be
lifted above the stage, instead of be
ing roilsd upon rolls. This will make
the shifting of the scenes much quick
er than at present, and will aiso keep
the scenery in a better conditions
Br. Bell hopes to have the changes
completed about the end of the week,
when he will' commence running
vaudeville with the pictures. He says
he will run acts direct from Pantages
theatre, Portland.
