MAYOR JONES JOINS IN INITIATION
Oakland Boosters, Coming North on
Special Train, Urged to Pause
on Journey to See Local
Scenic Features
President B. T. McBain, of the Com
mercial club, and Mayor Linn B.
Jones have both sent invitations to
the "Royal Oaks," the booster organ
ization of Oakland, California, to stop
over at Oregon City on their way to
Portland to attend Rose Festival
gaieties. The Californians have been
invited to visit Oregon City's rose
show, to view the mills and the falls,
and to partake of luncheon at the
Commercial club on June 7. Oregon
City boosters are hoping to entertain
many delegations of similar organiza
tions that are scheduled to pass
through the city this summer.
In inviting the Oaklanders here Mr.
McBain outlines the entertainment
the local boosters will provide, his
letter being as follows:
"Having learned of the proposed
visit of your 'Royal Oaks' during the
Portland Rose Festival, and knowing
your train will go through our city,
we, in the name of the Commercial
club of Oregon City, invite your or
ganization to visit Oregon City en
route, where, if you will give us suf
ficient notice of your acceptance, we
will gladly prepare a Royal Chinook
salmon luncheon, and if you give us
sufficient time, the Clackamas County
Automobile club offers to show you
the city.
"On Saturday, June 7th, the Oregon
City Rose Society ' has its annual
event, and we trust if you are going
to be in Portland during the entire
week, you can arrive here on that
date to witness what is always a pre
liminary event to the larger and

Pacific Coast
Following the meeting of those in
terested in bringing immigrants from
Northern Germany to Oregon, held in
the State Immigration- Commission-
er's office in Portland Thursday, O.
E. Freytag, publicity manager of the'
Oregon City ' Commercial club an
nounes that there will shortly be
named an "immigrationd board" in
this county, the business of which
shall be confined to attracting new
settlers to this section. The commit
tee, the first of several that will be
appointed in conjunction with it, will
concern itself mainly with German im
migraton, and will be composed of
three, some citizen of note, a repre
sentative of one of the German so
cieties, and a member of the Com
mercial club.
This committee will take charge of
all correspondence from Germans
who are inquiring about locations in
this section of Oregon, and will even
tually share in conductng a campaign
of publicity in Germany on behalf of
Oregon agricultural districts. It will
have direct charge of Clackamas
county's share of this exhibition, and
will bear its share of the expense of
the old-country campaign. The com
mittee will be appointed in this coun
ty simultaneously with the appoint
ment of similar board in other coun
ties. As plans are at present, Oregon
will be advertised in Germany largely
through the moving picture shows.
Films showing the vairous agricultur
al activities of the state will be dis
played, together with some views of
the scenic wonders and the cities and
towns. Each film will be preceded by
a brief statement announcing what
the views are, and requesting all who
desire information about the district
shown to write to the to the "immi
gration board" of that particular coun
ty. Possibly a small exhiMt of prod
ucts will also be sent with the films,
and will be exhibited in the lobbies
of the theatres.

Features of Neighborly
Gathering
Fifteen motor cars, bearing more
than 60 members of Vancouver lodge
of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks, invaded this sister state
Friday night for a fraternal visit to
Oregon City lodge. They were cord
ially received and royally enttertain
ed, first at a meeting of the lodge at
which three candidates were initiated
into the mysteries of Elkdom, and af
terwards were treated to an elaborate
spread in the banquet hall of the
Elks' home.
The menu, which was toothsome,
was not the leading feature of the af
fair, for the speeches that followed
were full of good cheer and close fel
lowship. Henry O'Mlilley, exalted
ruler of Oregon City lodge, burst in
to verse in his welocme to the visit
ing brothers, and Exalted Ruler Shaw
pf Vancouver lodge, made a fitting
response. Rev. Charles W. Robinson,
of SL Paul's Episcopal church, one of
the baby Elks of Oregon City lodge,
talked in his always entertaining vein,
illustrating every point with a good
story that won him bursts of ap
plause. Thomas Clark, head of the state
school for the deaf at Vancouver, was
the next speaker, and he was follow
ed by Senator E. M. Rands, who was
one of the pioneer residents of Oregon
City, where he was publisher of The
Enterprise. Senator Rands congrat
ulated the people of Oregon City up
on the growth of their town, and ex
pressed wonderment at the many im
provements here since his departure.
Gilbert L. Hedges, the silver-tongued
orator of Oregon City, made a happy
and clever talk. W. E. Graham, of
Oregon City, rendered a vocal solo,
and speeches were made by Past Ex
alted Ruler Blaker, of Vancouver
lodge; G. R. H. Miller, of Oregon City
lodge, who was the oldest Elk to
march m the parade during the Grand
Lodge at Portland last summer; Past
Exalted Ruler Marshall, of Vancou
ver lodge, who assisted in instituting
Oregon City lodge three years ago,
and Judge Gordon E. Hayes, who
made an eloquent address on the
glories of the Elks' lodge.
The banquet ended at 11 o'clock,
the mystic hour, with the singing of
"Auld Lang Syne." An entertaining
feature was the music rendered by an
Oregon City quartette composed of
Gilbert Long,' Harry Confer, Louis
Smith and Ben Holsclaw.
The visiting Elks were honored dur
ing the ceremonies of initiation by
being placed in charge of the impres
sive ritual. Their trip to Oregon City
was in the nature of a return call for
a visit made by a delegation of Ore
gon City Elks to Vancouver several
weeks ago.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, EU
GENE, May 16. The high cost . of
living was analyzed in two of its
phases today by leaders in many dif
ferent lines of public activity in Ore
gon, who gathered at the university
to take part in the fifth annual com
monwealth conference, the univer
sity's annual stock-taking of the pro
gress achieved by the state in the
preceding twelve months.
In tue morning it was the high cost
of government that occupied the
speakers, and in the afternoon the
high cost of production and the waste
ful methods of distribution. In both
sessions, examples of progress toward
efficiency and economy made in vari
ous parts of the state were related
by publicists, social workers, and re
search experts.
Porter J. Neff, city attorney of Med-
ford, led a discussion of the estab
lishment and maintenance of municip
al markets in Oregon towns, and he
was followed by discussion of the
general subject of co-operative mar
keting in agriculture, horticulture
and dairying, participated in by G.
w. Gwinn and J. O. Holt, manager
of the Lane County Fruitgrowers as
sociation. J. George Johnson, mas
ter of the Lane county Pomona
Grange, told of the rural credit sys
tem in use in certain foreign coun
tries, and described the advantages
to be dervied from providing the
farmer with cheap money. Z. W.
Commerford, organizer of co-opera
tive stores, told of his success in
benefiting both producer and consum
er by installing the Rochdale system.
In the morning, the mayor of As-
koria, Edward E.;Gray, described pres
ent conditions in Oregon municipal
ities, and furnished the basis for the
outlining of the path of future pro
gress by expert municipal workers,
including Dr. Herman S. Brauer, - di
rector of the state of Washington's
bureau of municipal research at the
University of Washington, Herbert R.
Sands, expert for the New York bur
eau of municipal research and L. H.
Weir, field secretary of the Play-i
ground and. Recreational association!
of America. The speeches largely
centered around the university's pro
posed bureau of municipal research to
be -established in connection with the
department of economics and socio
logy. Dr. Brauer described how much
service the bureau in Seattle had been
able to lend to lawmaking under dem
ocratic conditions.
Addresses by students, Thaddeus
Wentworth, on the undergraduate's
part in commonwealth service, a con
sideration of Oregon's efforts to real
ize the highest racial standards, in
troduced by O. M. Plummer of the
Portland Stockyards company, who
is secretary of the American Eugen
ics society, and by Mrs. Millie R.
Trumbull, secreary of the Oregon
Child Labor commission, closed the
session. In the evening was a dis
cussion of city planning and state
planning, started by A. H. Harris, ed
itor of the Portland Labor Press.
Tomorrow will be the big day of
the conference, with sessions by edu
cators, engineers, editors and women,
ending with pageantry and plays on
the campus in which students will
take part, and with three different
banquets to visitors in the evening.
More than five hundred additional vis
itors are expected from Portland at
noon, special cars will be run from
Corvallis, and guests are expected
from many other, points. Over 430
were present at the opening session..
MOOSE ARE HOSTS
TO PORTLANDERS
Members of the Oregon City lodge
of Moose were the hosts of 100 memV
bers of the" Portland lodge Thursday
evening' at the Moose hall, Sixth and
Main streets. The Portland crowd
came to this city about eight & clock
and were met by the Oregon City
lodge at Ninth street. At this point
a parade was formed and the visitors
and the Oregon City lodge marched
up Main street to Fifth, and thence
back to the Moose hall.
At the hall, lodge was opened and
the degree team of Portland, initiated
12 of Oregon City's prominent busi
ness men into the mysteries of Moose
dom. The work was put on in a fine
shape and proved to be very pleasing
to the Oregon City lodge, about 300
of whom were present.
After the initiation a reception was
held by the Oregon City lodge in hon
or of the visitors. B. C. Yoman, of
Portland, district deputy supreme dic
tator, was present and delivered a
fine address. Other speeches were
made by Major C. S. Noble, Frank
Busch and John Albright. During the
evening music was furnished by an
Oregon City orchestra.
A fine banquet was served by the
local lodge to the visitors. Among
the Portland visitors who were pres
ent were Judge Bell and Judge Mor
row. The Oregon City lodge of Moose is
doing So well that they are already
crowded from room, and it may be
necessary for them to find new quar
ters before long as at the present
rate at which members are joining
the lodge it will soon be impossible
to hold sessions in the present rooms.
There are over three hundred mem
bers in the local lodge and despite the
fact that an addition was recently
put on the lodge building, it has al
ready proven too small.
GRAIN CORNERED
IN NORTHWEST
Advertisements in The Enterprise
brings results.
Oreson wheat brokers are reported
to have cornered a large proportion
of the wheat crop of the Northwest
as the result of steady buying for the
last month. It is said that investi
gation shows that there are less than
260,000 bushels of grain still uncon
tracted. The crop already in hand is
said to range from three-quarters to
a million bushels, and to embrace
practically all the available wheat
that will be harvested in Oregon and
Washington. . '
Club wheat cannot be had on the
local market now for less than 91
cents. Some business has passed be
tween dealers for next month's deliv
ery at even better prices. Before the
season ends there is little doubt that
the price will approach close to the
dollar mark.
While the activity has been mainly
in club wheat, the bluestem market
has not been lagging. The demand
for the higher grade milling grain has
come almost entirely from interior
millers, and they have paid, in the
past two days, the best prices of the
year for necessary lots. A few deals
were put through at prices equivalent
to $1.01 here, and other transactions
were up to $1.03 and even better.

Reports that ane insane man was
at large in the town took Deputy
Sheriff Miles to Oak Grove Thursday
evening and were responsible for his
acquiring a perfectly colored black
eye. On arriving in the surburban
settlement, Miles located the 'trouble
sitting on a box and gently swinging
an axe in his hand. The deputy dis
covered further that the gentleman
with the cleaver was named Moore,
and that he had been imbibing some
what too freely. In the background
were to be seen other residents of the
vicinity, watching the progress of
events with interest.
After some parleying Moore agreed
to drop the axe and go in the house
with tne deputy to talk things over.
While the two were sitting sociably
in the parlor, discussing things, Moore
suddenly sprang at Miles and gave a
demonstration of heavyweight cham
pionship methods. After thus acquir
ing the black eye, Miles retreated,
came back to Oregon City, and thc.T
accompanied by Sheriff E. T. Mass,
went back to Oak Grove and got his
man. Moore was sentenced to 30
