Day's Session
ALBANY, Or., May 15. Resolu
tions indorsing the action of the Cal
ifornia legislature in regard to alien
ownership of land and favoring abol
ishing the state senate were adopted
by the Oregon State Grange today.
The resolutions favoring abolish
ing the state senate precipitated a
discussion which occupied almost all
of the forenoon session. But, while
considerable opposition to it develop
ed in the discussion, when the resolu
tion came up for passage it carried by
a vote of 71 to 11.
Oliver Wilson, national master of
the Grange and the first chief execu
tive of the national organization to
visit the Oregon State Grange in the
40 fears of its history, gave his fare
well address before the Grange late
this afternoon and left for his home
in Peoria, 111., this evening. He has
been an active figure in the sessions
of the last three days. -ii
In opposition to the resolution in
troduced yesterday asking the Grange
to go on record as opposing the pres
ent movement to invoke the referen
dum on the University of Oregon ap
propriation, a resolution was intro
duced today favoring the referendum
movement. Both resolutions are in
the hands of the committee on educa
tion and will be reported some time
tomorrow. It is said that an effort
" is being made tonight to prevent
either resolution coming up for a vote
or for discussion on the floor of the
Grange.

GENERAL INCREASE IN ACREAGE
IS NOTED IN MARQUAM
AND OTHER DISTRICTS
LIVESTOCK GAINS IN POPULARITY
Ranchers Gradually Turning to Mar
ket Staples from Which As
sured Income May be Had
on Investment
Though present weather is not fa
vorable, Clackamas county hop grow
ers are expecting one of the most
profitable harvests this season that
has been gathered in recent years.
Acreage has been genrally increased
in the few districts where hops do
well, and preparations are now well
underway for getting the best out of
the crop. Vines are already topping
the poles, and will soon begin to
spread out, while in all fields cultiva
tion about the roots is being carried
on daily.
Growth of the plants is somewhat
slower than usual, owing to the cold
and damp nights, but this is not an
unmixed evil, as it is' believed that
the retarded development will make
the plants sturdier, and will enable
them to withstand the warm dry
weather that will probably come
with a rush when it once sets in, and
which might "burn out'' plants of less
stockiness.
In the neighborhood of Marquam,
which is in the hsart of perhaps the
best hop district in the county, grow
ers have but one complaint, and that
is with the weather. Other prospects
are good, and after studying hop mar
ket conditions, most of the people in
terested in the vines concluded that
1913 was to be a year of high prices,
and added greatly to their acreag3.
In fact Marquam is going to rely for
its profits this year almost entirely
on hops and apples. Hop fields were
much enlarged during the past win
ter, and there is a big acreage devot
ed to the vines.
In putting hops to the forefront,
Marauam has put down much nf tho
I orchard space formerly given to pears j
j prunes and cherries. In fact, .there
I will be but little small fruit from this
section, nearly all that is to be
grown being already reserved for
home consumption. Ranchers in the
vicinity are finding that the other
fruit does not pay with sufficient reg
ularity, and are specializing in more
hardy apples, and in other farm prod
ucts, as well as hops.
In connection with this it has been
noted that there is a growing tend
ency in many of th9 agricultural dis
tricts of the county to pay more at
tention to livestock. Settlers at first
relied almost entirely upon their field
for their livelihood, but bad seasons
and other troubles have led many to
torn to hogs and cattle. The ready
growth to be had of clover, vetch and
even alfalfa, has made it possible to
harvest a crop of thi,s feed for hay,
and then to turn livestock loose in
tlie fields and leave them to fatten
up. There is always a livestock mar
ket, and values never ' vary much in
staple lines; whereas the farmer who
relies upon fancy fruits for his in
come oftentimes finds himself de
prived of revenue that he should have
received on his initial investment.
B1THIAS' RECITAL
IS WELL ATTENDED
Owing to the illness of Gustav
Fletchner, the" Bithias' concert Wed
nesday evening was lacking his mas
terful playing, but amends were
made for this by the excellent techni
que of the others on the program and
by the volunteer work on the violin
by JVliss . Roxana Wamellswarg, of
Portland, who took Mr. Fletchner's
place.
Mrs. Delphine Marx, a soloist of
note from Portland, proved most ac
ceptable to the critical audience
gathered in the Methodist church,
and her singing was enthusiastically
received. This was the first time
shs had sung in Oregon City, and
many who heard her expressed the
hope that opportunity to hear her
again would soon arrive.
Miss Sadya Evelyn Ford at the
piano and Oscar Woodfin at the
piano and in song, were both heartily
encoreu, ana responded to the ap
plause gracefully. -
Every seat in tbe church was filled
and the artists of the evening re
ceived the most appreciative atten
tion. VANCOUVER ELKS DUE

- ; v

The rapidity with which San Francisco was rebuilt uir Hit.- gmii earthquake aud tire excited the admiration
of the whole world. The same indomitable spirit that brought a new San Francisco like a phoenix from the ashes
of the old is now being shown in Omaha, which was swept by a disastrous tornado. The progress made in restor
ing that city seems almost Incredible, but here is the evidence that cannot be denied In the upper part.of this Illus
tration is a view north from Twenty-fourth and Erskine streets. Omaha, the morning after the tornado. The lower
part is n view from that same point as it looks today. Similar progress is being made in all parts of the city devas

COLLEGE PROPHET
Five frosts were forecast in April
by weather prophet W. L. Powers of
the Oregon Agricultural College. He
made his determinations at 8 o'clock
the n'ght previous each time, and sev
eral growers in the locality took pre
cautions to start smudges. In unpro
tected orchards some delicate fruit
was injured.
The total rainfall of the month was
2.76 in., which was .09 in.' bslow nor
mal. That brings the total deficiency
since Jan. 1, to 5.55 in. Rain fell on
15 days, the greatest amount being
.G5 in. April 5. The mean relative
humidity was 80 per cent.
The mean temperature was 49 de
grees, which was 1.1 degrees below
normal. . The highest, 76 degrees, was
on April 17, the lowest 28 degress on
April 28. This temperature prevail
ed for about 5 hours. ..The minimum
on frosty nights averaged 9 degrees
below the dew point of the previous
evening. The average dew point at
6 p. m. throughout the month was 6
degrees above the average minimum
temperature for the month. Thus
these figures agree with those of last
year, and it may be expected that on
clear nights the minimum tempera
ture will be 8 -degrees or 9 degrees be
low the dew point of the previous
evening when other conditions are fa
vorable to frost. -

From a Man's
Point of View
It used to be said that news
paper advertising held very lit
tle interest for men. They were
too busy, and were quite willing
that their wives and mothers
and sisters should read adver
tisements and attend to the
household shopping.
That is all different now. At
the clubs, in the hotels wher
ever men meet you hear them
chatting about the new hats at
So-and-So s or the smart boots
at a popular shop or the splen
did and satisfactory service re
ceived at a well-known haber
Jashery. Many stores malce a special
effort to plan their merchandis
ing so that men, busy particular
men, may shop conveniently,
quickly, and be sure not only of
correct and individual apparel,
but of painstaking, intelligent
and efficient store service. That
is what appeals to a man.
Up-and-doing men find just
as much of valuable information
in the advertising pages of THE
ENTERPRISE as women do.

VARIED PROBLEMS
MET BY
Several of the directors and stock
holders of the ClacV.amas Southern
railroad made a trip of inspection
over a portion of the nearly complet
ed Beaver Creek division of the new
line Thursday afternoon, and found
the work progressing satisfactorily.
Grant B. Dimick, secretary of the
company, acted as guid and drew
the party's attention to the problems
that had been met and solved. Owing
to the fact that the line has a rise
from the river level at Oregon City
to the elevation of the high prairie
lving to the east, and has to negoti-
! ate this grade within less than three
and a half miles, some dimcuit engi
neering had to be done.
For the first few miles out of Ore
gon City the new line strongly re
sembles a mountain road, so little
tangent is there to be found. The
curves, however, are all of wide ra
dius, and there is no grade steeper
than 1.7 percent. Much cutting and
filling has been necessary, and some
i trestle work; and as a result the line
i in some places hugs closely to the
face of a steep clitr, and in ouier
spots leaps over a gulch or slashes
deeply through a ridge.
In several deep cuts subterranean
streams were struck, and difficult
drainage problems had to be worked
out, both to divert the water and to
prevent sliding of the earth. . Bulk
heading proved useless in such cases,
and the only method of dealing with
the situation was found to be by
back-ditching and sub-tiling. In other
places heavy fills settled or slid out
after track had been laid, and it was
necessary in several instances to
change the contour of the road to
road to avoid marsh spots where both
trestling and embankment work were
impractical. All these problems have
been met and solved, however, and
the road .is now permanently located
and ready for tamping . down, finish
grading and lining up.
About a mile and a half east of
Oregon City the line cuts through a
high hill of fine sand, and it has been
found that this is excellent material
for topping the embankments, and for
binding clayey soil that causes most
of the slides. Much of this sand is

Work on the extension of the line
to Beaver Creek is being rushed
ahead with all speed, and freight sur
face will probably be started early
in June. After the track settles un
der this, passenger trains will run.

BOOSTERS
PLAN GATHERING
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEMBERS TO
VISIT MOLALLA AND GREET
NEW ORGANIZATION
EVENING OE FESTIVITY ARRANGED
Local Delegation to Make Trip .
Automobile Carrying With
Them Best Wishes for
County's Growth .
By
Members of the Oregon City Com
mercial club aVe industriously mak
ing plans for their visit to Molalla on
May 20, when they will be the guests
of the recently organized Commercial
club of that place. There will be a
large delegation from this city to
make the run by automobile in the
evening, and expectations are that a
royal good time will be had.
The Molla Commercial club was or
ganized last week for the purpose of
exploiting Molalla and Clackamas
county, and the meeting next -Tuesday
will be the second to be held. So
rapid has been the growth of Molalla,
which has long since passed from the
village class, that a commercial club
naturally comes in the course of
events for such an enterprising com
munity. The town at the present
time is one the eve of a tremendous
development and the coming of the
Clackamas Southern and the Port
land, Eugene & Eastern will mean
much towards the future growth of
the town. The Molalla Commercial
club will be in a position to accomo
date tha people and homeseekers that
are sure to rush into that portion of
ihe county. "
The members of the Oregon City
Commercial, club only wish ' their
brothers at Molalla the greatest of
success, and they will show their ap
preciation 'by a large crowd leaving
this city. The start will be "made
from the Commercial club at 5:30
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and ac
comodations have been arranged tor
all members of the Commercial club
who will be able to attend.
Every member who can possible
get away should df so, as a good time
is assured. Persons intending to go
out should make their intentions
known to one of the following com
mittee, who will have the affair in
charge, Mi D. Laturette( chairman,
John Loder, G. T. McBain,.0. D. Eby
or E. E. Brodie.
Commercial club owners of automo
biles, who have not already done so,
are urged to donate their cars for
Tuesday evening so that all desiring
to attend may be accomodated. Af
ter spending the evening at Molalla,
the return trip will be started about
10 o'clock. The trip will not be made
should the weather be rainy.
CO-OPERATION IS ASKED
Delegates to the several church
brotherhoods and other societies in
Oregon City and Gladstone have been
appointed by the Men's Brotherhood
of the Methodist church, and will re
quest the several organizations to ap
point representatives, all of whom
will mset with the Methodists on the
Second Tuesday in June at a banquet
to be served in Woodmen's hall. At
this banquet a program will be given
which will set forth the aims, pur
poses and plans of the Second World's
Christian Citizenship conferecne. It
is hoped that in this way local sup
port of the conference may be organ
ized. '
E STORE
IS LOCAL VENTURE
Fred and Otto Hoag, well-nown
Oregon City young men, who ' for
many years were employed by Frank
Busch, have decided to go into busi
ness for themselves. They have
rented a store room in the Harding
building near Fifth street, and five
doors beyond the postoffice. In this
place they will open a complete and
modern furniture, wall paper and
building material store.
Extensive changes are being made
upon the building, both inside and
out, and as soon as the work i3 com
pleted Hoag Brothers, as the firm will
be known, will move in.
A complete line of furniture has
been purchased, and all that is de
laying the opening of tbe store is
the remodeling of the building.

ANNUAL DEBATE
EAGERLY WAITED
JUNIOR AND SOPHOMORE TEAMS
TO MATCH WITS AT HIGH
SCHOOL FRIDAY NIGHT
PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE THE ISSUE
Excitement Before Contest is at High
Pitch, and Both Rival Classes
Have Hopes of Victory
in Rostrum
The annual debate between the
junior and sophomore classes at the
high school will be held Friday even
ing, and excitement among the stu
dents is running high in anticipation
of this big feature of the school year.
Both class teams are one their met
tle, and supported by their school
mates have high hopes of carrying,
off the honors.
The Question for the debate). "Re
solved, that the Phillipine Islands
should be an independent nation," is
one that offers much opportunity for
good argument on both sides, and the
members of the debating teams have
been poring over history of the last
several years in preparing their
bjiefs. The affirmative will be tak
en by the sophomores, and the nega
tive by the juniors. The winners will
be awarded the championship of the
school, and will also receive as a
prize five dollars in gold. Two dol
lars and a half will be given the los
ing team as a consolation prize.
The sophomore team is composed
of Ted Miller, Eva Dye, Alvin Wiede
siek, Lobertta Schuebel and Alene
Phillips. The fortunes of the juniors
are in the hands of Joe Hedges, Wen
dell Smith, .Albert Schoth, Kent Wil
son and Elbert Charman. Last year
the winning team added to their prize
money and purchased a handsome pic
ture for the school corridors; and it
is rumored that both teams this year
have similar plans in view.
The debate will be held in the high
school auditorium, and the program
will begin promptly at eight o'clock.
As the classes have been at some ex
pense in decorating the hall for the
event, a nominal admission fee of ten
cents will be charged. Aside from
the debates ' there will be orchestral
and vocal music furnished by the stu
dents, and spice will be added to the
evening by the yella and cheers of the
two classes. Class colors will also
be muchly in evidence.
The excellence of the debate will
be judged by O. D. Eby, the Rev. J.
R. Landsborough and the Rev. George
Nelson Edwards. The judges will re-'
tire to make their decision immsdiate
ly at the close of the debate, and the
result will be announced before the
crowd adjourns. It is expected that
when the announcement is made
there will be considerable gloating
and merry-making on the part of the
winning class.
