FUN FOR YOUNG
AND OLD READY
ANNUAL COUNTY FIELD DAY AT
GLADSTONE PARK CROWD
ED WITH FEATURES
GIRLS WILL PLAY BASEBALL GAME
Great Contest Between Pupils and
Teachers, and Battle, for High
School Trophy Will Keep
Excitement High
This is the day that Oregon City
high school will .either win or lose
the Clackamas County School league
trophy, for today is the annual track
meet at Gladstone park, when all the
schools of the county will be repre
sented at a gathering given over to
fun and sports. The local ' high
school track team has won the trophy
for the past two years, and accord
ing to the deed of gift, the school that
wins it three consecutive times
gains permanent possession of it.
Athletes of the local schools will
be out in force, for aside from the
high school team there will be teams
from the various grade schools. The
events at the park will be divided in
to three classes, those for high school
boys, those for grade school pupils,
and those for the rest of the folk, in
cluding grown-ups. The meeting is
to be a sort of an all-day picnic, and
students, teachers, parents, big and
small brothers and sisters, and just
visitors will be .welcome. All that is
required for admission to the park is
a happy smile, accompanied, if pos
sible, by a kodak and a lunch basket.
Interest centers in the high school
tract contest, in the girls' baseball
game between teams from Gladstone
and Oak Grove schools, and in" the
baseball game between the students
and the teachers. Aside from these
main events there will be a host of
lesser attractions, such as potato
races, three-legged races and other
stunts. Some of these have been ar
ranged for the children and some for
the older people. And there will also
be a Maypole winding, in which it is
expected some ten or twelve teams
will take part. The weather man has
prophecied fair skies and cool
breezes, so everybody ought to have J
a good time. -
The annual field day is a feature
of the school year in Clackamas coun
ty, and is one of the milestones at
the end of the scholastic terms

Twenty-eight members of Meade
Post, G. A. R. and the Women's Re
lief Corps were taken to Gladstone
park by Capt. Apperson Friday, where
they held memorial exercises for the
benefit of the children of Gladstone
school. The meeting, one of several
that the old soldiers have been hold
ing to inspire a greater patriotism
and love of the flag among the school
boys and girls, was in the nature of
a picnic, and was thoroughly enjoy
ed by both youngsters and grown-ups.
Comrade Grant told some of his
war stories, throwing much dramatic
action into them, and making the
scenes and incidents he recounted ex
tremely realistic. Comrade Moore
gave an account of the battle of
Vicksburg, and recited a poem upon
the great battle of Gettysburg. The
fife and drum corps gave some more
of its martial music, and then the
young folks took charge of things
and rendered a pleasing out-door pro
gram. Following this a lunch was
served by the ladies of Gladstone.
After lunch the veterans and their
companions went to Parkplace. where
the children of the Parkplace school
greeted them enthusiastically and
held exercises for their benefit. Fol
lowing this the old soldiers told ths
pupils much intimate war history, and
the musicians played a number of
military airs. Informal entertainment
of the veterans by the ladies of Park
place was a feature of the visit, and
Meade Post wishes to thank both
them and the ladies of Gladstone for
adding to the enjoyment of the day.

LOCAL SPEEDERS
m .mi iaui
1 1 ILL 1 LLL LhU!
Owing to the failure of many lo
cal and visiting automobilists to obey
the speed ordinances within the city
limits, city and county officers have
determined upon a joint campaign
against all who hereafter utilize the
paved streets of Oregon City as race
courses.- The officers have not said
very much about their intentions, but
recent violations have become so
numerous that it has been determined
to make examples of speeders.
Cars passing through Oregon City,
between Portland and points south,
fine the even surface of Main street
an excellent place to "let her out,'
but henceforth they will be timed at
either end of the city's main thor
oughfare, and woe betide the driver
who makes the run in less elapsed
time than the legal speed limit pro
vides. Officers will be stationed at
telephones at either end of the city,
and close tab will be kept upon all
big cars.
Local autoists have also developed
the habit of "starting off with a
dash," and will be brought up in
short order by the police if they con
tinue the practice. Several accidents
have been but narrowly averted
within the past week owing to the
desires" of some chauffeurs to emu
late Barney Oldfield, and plans have
been made to give, such folk unex
pected instruction in the provisions
of the city laws.
ARCHBISHOP WILL

Fred Ford Quits Long Fight;
Buys Freedom and New Suit,
Goes Home Happy and Rich!
Fred Ford, arrested for being drunk,
and given his choice of a $40 fine or
20 days in jail some time ago, picked
the 20 days, and started in to serve
it out. Friday he had covered 15
days, and Friday also he redeemed
himself and left town a new man
from the bottom up and the skin out.
It happened in this way.
Fred was working at Shaver's camp
some score or so of miles out of
town, and contracted the habit of
coming to the city on pay-days and
spending his money on stuff that
made him first joyous and then sad.
This habit eventually got him into
his trouble, but before that happen
ed friends at the mill got to holding
back some of his earnings, Friday,
learning of his e predicament, they
gathered up all that was coming to
Fred and sent it down.
Confronted with the pile of cash,
Fred was at first a little dubious.
Then he made up his mind what to
do, paid the unearned part of his
fine, and sought out Chief of Police
Shaw. Whispering to the chief what
he wanted to do, the two of them
went down the street, the chief keep
ing between Fred and the saloons.
After the trip was over Fred had paid
all his debts, acquired a brand new
outfit and some extra equipment, tak
en a bath and bought a ticket to
Boise, Idaho. Transformed he and
the chief went to the depot, where
Fred got on a train.
"I'm going home, chief," he said in
parting. "I've paid all my bills, got
a new outfit, and had you keep me
away from the saloons. I'm going to
quit fighting booze, and I'm going
back to the place where I came from,
68 miles by stage out of Boise, and
there I'm going to straighten up. I'm
going back a new man, and I'm never
again going to take the first drink.
That is what has got me before, the
first drink. After that it's all off
with me. I want to thank you, chief
for getting me out of town, and I
want to thank the boss up at the
mill for sending me the money com
ing to me. 1 11 have about fourteen
dollars left when I get home, and I
reckon I can keep straight on that.
So long, chief." -

NOTES"
L
The "shirt-waist man" is taboo at
Oregon City high school. While
youths in the grammar schools may
ignore tlie conventionalities to a cer
tain extent, no coatless comfort is to
be gained by the more mature lads at
the city's highest institution of learn
ing. This law was laid down once
and for all Friday afternoon, when
boys who thought the weather suffi
ciently warm to dispense with outer
coats, appeared garbed in diaphonous
shirts of silky texture and soft color.
They were sent home for their
clothes.
The local school authorities', how
ever, are not insisting that the young
women at the high school obey the
same law. Girls may do about, as
they please, provided that they do not
blossom out into "peek-a-boo" waists
that reveal pink or baby-blue garnish
ments beneath. Low collars are per
mitted, but are not encouraged. Few
of the Oregon City girls have shown
any tendency to pronouncedly outra
styles, so the teachers have not had
much to worry about.
But with the boys it has been dif
ferent. It took some courage for the
youths to blossom out as "summer
men," but once a few of them had
agreed to the thing other recruits
were quickly found. The "shirtwaist
brigade" put in its appearance Fri
day morning, and was promptly
squelched, and no youth who had not
his coat with him and on his back
was permitted to attend assembly. -
