June 7th has been fixed as the date
on which the Oregon City Rose so
ciety will hold its annual show, and
it is expected that this year's exhibi
tion will outrank all former displays
put on in this city. Busch's hall has
been secured for the showing of
blooms, and all exhibitors must have
their displays on hand before -11 a.
m., or else they will not be eligible
for the large list of prizes that has
been offered. Rules under which
the exhibits will be judged may be
obtained from the secretary.
. It is hoped that there will be a
general support of the rose show.
Not only will the exhibit be a thing
of beauty in itself, but it will do
much to advertise the city and coun
ty. Motion pictures will be taken of
the rose show and of the parade that
will be held in conjunction with the
display, and these pictures will be
shown in all the principal cities of
the world. Financial arrangement of
the show are being looked after by
the following committee, of which
Mrs. O. D. Eby is chairman, Mrs.
John f'airclough, Mrs. A. Matheson,
Mrs. G. B. Dimick, Mrs. Rosie Fouts,
Mrs. David Caufield, Mrs. A. C. War
ner, George Bannon, Linn E. Jones,
O. D. Eby, M. D. Latourette, B. T. Mc
Bain and J. H. Walker.
At half past one in the afternoon
there will be a parade in which all
departments of city and county activ
ity will be represented." There will
be automobiles, floats, fire depart
ment apparatus, vehicles and pedes
trains, and cash prizes will be offer
ed for the best turnouts in the sev
eral lines. Among the prizes will be
first and second awards for the best
decorated automobiles, best decoated
vehicles now power propelled, best
pedestrain turnout, and best decorat
ed pieces of fire apparatus. Arrange
ments for the parade are in the hands
of the following committee: B. T.
McBain, chairman, M. D. Latourette,
G. B. Dimick, A. Price, L. Stipp, E.
Rands, O. E. Freytag, O. D. Eby, F.

OREGON CITY WOOLEN MILL"
i
Through the issuance of $70,000 of
5 per cent bonds, Oregon City will
henceforth save itself about $700 a
year that it has been heretofore pay
ing out in interest. The sale of the
new bond issue, which has been
negotiated through Morris Bros., of
Portland, also reflects most credit
ably the financial soundness of the
city, for the bonds were all sold at
par an unusual record in the pres
ent somewhat disturbed financial
world.
In connection with the sale of the
local bonds at par it is pointed out
by those interested that Salem, on a
recent bond issue, was unable to get
a better bid than 93; while one hid
for Oregon City bonds was made at
.7 over par. Salem, in an effort to
avoid selling at the low price, has
been trying to sell her securities at
home, in small quantities, - but has
not even had good success at that.
That Oregon City bonds are accepted
in the competitive market at par is
considered an excellent endorsement
of the way the city's affairs have
been managed.
Of the $70,000 bond issue, $20,000
will be utilized to retire 6 per tent
bonds that have matured. The bal
ance of the issue, $50,000, will be
used to retire outstanding warrants.
Utilizing the money received from
the sale of the bonds, as well as some
other moneys on hand. City Treas
urer M. D. Latourette has issued a
call for all Warrants endorsed prior
to November 1, 1912; ;and will thus
take up about $69,000 of the city's
indebtedness.
There will still remain outstanding
warrants to the extent of about $58,
000 in the several funds, and itJias
been suggested that a second issue
of retiring bonds' be issued to care
for these. The warrants draw six
percent interest, while the bonds can
be floated at five; and as the bonds
run for 20 years, it is believed econ
omy to make the change. The' pres
ent city administration is being
highly complimented (for taking up
the outstanding warrants, and for
providing for a reduced interest rate
on the balance of the debt.

Delegates from Great Britain and ail her colonies assembled at New .York a few days ago to arrange with an
American committee for the celebration in 1915 of 100 years of peace among English speaking peoples . Among the
foreign notables who came to the United States for the conference were Alderman C de Bruyn and Alpbonse Van
Werveke of Ghent, Belgium, where the treaty that began the century of peace between the two great English speaking-nations
was signed. Alderman de Bruyn said Belgium already had begun preparations "for a warm and worthy
partioipiition in the coming festivities." in this illustration are shown Andrew Carnegie, one of the leaders of the

The first inoculation of Dr. Franz
Friadmann's turtle anti-tubercular
serum in Oregon has proved a fail
ure. N. EThrone, of Ashland, formerly
an employe of the , Pittsburg Gas
Company, Pittsburg,.' received eight
one-drachm phials, four of turtle tub
erculin and four of turtle serum a
few weeks ago. Three of each were
injected into his arms without any
benefit or reaction. The other ' two
phials ware sent to' the state board
of health for examination.
Professor Petnot, state bacteriolo
gist, examined these carsfully with
a microscope and found that the ser
um was badly contaminated and that
the tuberculin, which is a thick yel
low fluid, contained tubercule baccil-
li. He has planted all the organisms
on culture media, and has injected
the remainder into guinea pigs to de
termine whether the baccilli ar3 liv

BORAH THE NEXT?
Harpsr's
following
NEW YORK, May 17
Weekly today makes the
editorial forecast:
"We predict today that the next
Republican candidate for President
of the United States will be William
E. Borah of Idaho. '
More than a year before Woodrow
Wilson's nomination Harper's made
a similar prediction, which fact is re
ferred to editorially by the New York
Sun this morning.
Maypole windings, folk dances, ex
hibition drills, competitive sport con
tests, a girls' baseball contest, and
general good times for all who -attend
are promised by the Clackamas
County School league for its annual
field day, to be held at Gladstone
park next Saturday. Unlike gather
ings of this kind in former years,
there will be no charge for admis
sion made this year, and it is hoped
that everybody interested in any way
in' school activities will turn out and
help make the occasion a success.
Aside from the set program for the
youngsters, there will be passtimes
and games for the - grown-ups and
for all who attend, it being the aim
of the league to make the affair a
general picnic and festival day. "Par
ents and friends of the members of
the league are urged to bring their
lunches, and to make a day of it in
the open; and it is also hinted that
kodak enthusiasts will probably find
material that will be worth their
while.
Particular interest centers in the
competitive games between the dif
ferent high school teams, for which
handsome cups "will be offered.
There is a strong rivalry between the
Estacada, . Milwaukie, Canby and
Oregon City high schools, and it is
expected that the several teams will
fight desperately for victory. In the
grade school division of the sports
there is also considerable "rivalry, and
it is believed that no event will be
won without a hard struggle.
Aside from the main athletic events
of the day there will be a series of
special features that will help add in
terest to the meet this year. Among
these will be a Maypole winding con
test, in winch probably at least ten
teams will compete. The sight of
these team teams all winding poles
at once upon the greensward prom
ises to be both novel and beautiful.
In addition to the Maypole winding
there will also be folk dances by
students at several of the schools,
and a number of exhibition drills
have also been planned.
The girls' baseball team from the
Gladstone school will play a match
game with a similar team from the
Oak Grove school, and in this there
will be the keenest kind of rivalry.
The Gladstone girls have been prac
ticing steadily for the event, and
have developed considerable skill
and team-ability ; - but it is also said
that their Oak Grove sisters are not
far behind, so a contest- well fought
will probably result.
It is also hoped that basket-ball
games can be arranged. A full pro
gram of features, as well as of the
main athletic events, will be issued
by Secretary Adler of the association
about Tuesday. Many applications
for entry blanks have been received,
so that already it is assured that
there will be a big turnout at the
meet.

The cattle market reached the pin- j
nacle of this year's business last Mon- j
day. All exisiting Pacific coast open j
market prices for beef were broken j
when five laods of corn - fed steers
went to the killers at $9.00. A few i
cows brought $7.65, but offerings .
were scarce. The general run of j
prime fed bullocks sold $8.50 to $8.70. .
Good calves are steady at $9.00 and 1
bulls $6.25 to $6.50. The beef short- i
age is acute and fails to fill the con
stant demand from anxious buyers.
$8.75 for steers, $7.75 for cows, $9.00
for calves and $6.50 for bulls are con
servation tops in the cattle market,
which is firm.
' Swine prices suffered one of the
severest slumps of the year on Men
day and Wednesday. Total loss was
45c. Tops were just steady Thurs
day at $8.40." irweek ago hogs were
selling around $9.00. Receipts were
enormous and market was glutted.
Sheep house had a broad business
and a lower price level. A firm mut
ton demand absorbed the sheep and
lambs offered but the trade was un
even. Prime ewes at $5.25 wethers

Through the co-operation of Chief
of Police Shaw, members of the
Clackamas County Automobile club
have been placed on an equal footing
with members of the Portland Auto
mobile club in Multnomah, county;
and henceforth, should any of them
be arrested for speeding or other
violations of the Jaw, they will no
have to go to the police station arid
furnish bail, but will be released at
once upon the surrender of their club
membership card.
When it was first determined to is
sue cards to members of the local
club, Chief Shaw was asked if he
thought it would he possible to ar
range for the use of cards in place
o fbail money, in case of arrest. The
chief said he would gladly make
such arrangements in his own juris
diction and volunteered to take the
matter up with the Portland authori
ties. He was asked to do this, and
at once wrote to Captain Enoch A.
Slover, acting chief of the Portland
department. Capt. Slover's answer
follows:
"May 16, 1913.
"E. L. Shaw, Chief of Police,
"Oregon City, Oregon.
"Dear Sir: We are in receipt of
your communication of the 15th inst.,
relative to the issuing of cards to the
members of the Clackamas " County
Automobile club, and in reply will
say that it will be satisfactory to me
if they will issue a similiar card to
the Portland Automobile club, with
the understanding that the club will
assume responsibility for its mem
bers when cards are taken up as as
surance of their appearance in court
after arrest for some violation of
our laws.
"Yours very truly,
"E. A. SLOVER,
