ing to do in the open this summer, and
the athletic fans are.rooting for the
outdoor season to open so that these
stars can get busy..
The meeting of Kiviat and Jones
looks to be the big battle. The fleet
New York runner smashed records
right and left last winter, and. he's
confident of beating the great John
Paul Jones at his own game, the one
mile run. Trainer Lawson Robertson
stands right up and says Kiviat can
defeat the Cornell flier In the mile. He
figures the impending battle like this:
Jones' best time for the distance Is
4:15 2-5, the fastest the mile was ever
run. Kiviat did the mile in 4:15 3-5
under unfavorable conditions. When
Kiviat made this mark last summer
be was not running In bis present
form, and goodness knows what he
can skim over the distance in now.
Hannes Kolehmainen will also have
a say about the making of new rec
ords. He promises to do something
worth while this summer, for he has a
purpose in view. It seems that Alf
Shrnbb. thought to be the greatest
long distance runner of all times, has
been saying uncomplimentary things
about the Finn.
The little Briton, so runs the story,
declared recently that Hannes wasn't
a regular runner unless he could beat
his time of 0:09 3-5 for two miles. That
got to Hannes' ears, and there was a
mad Finny
These stars won't monopolize things
on the cinder path, either, for Drew,
the colored Springfield high school
wizard, is expected to equal the world's
mark for the hundred yard dash,
which is 93-5 seconds Alvah Meyers
thinks the colored flier must reckon
with him when he does this, and the
brushes letween these two will fur
nish many exciting races.
Ted Meredith., who did a lot of speed
running last winter, has many of Mel

A Centennial Story
of 1813
Bv ARTHUR TROWBRIDGE
Get the news raad .the Enterprise.
It was during the early part, of the
nineteenth century that a young man
and a girl were walking on one of the
beaches of the New Jersey coast not
far south of New York city. That
region is now taken up with summer
residences and hotels, but it wan then
a desolate ocean shore. Inhabited only
by country people wbo dwelt there all
the year round. That tne pair strolling
on the beach were lovers was evident.
for at times they walked hand In hand
and at times the man's arm encircled
the girl's .waist. They were soon to
be married and were talking over their
plans.
The young man, Edgar Hart, was
to go the next day to New York to
take a business position: the girl,
Dorothy Ten Eyck, was to begin prep
arations for her marriage, which was
to take place in a few weeks. It was
dusk when they finished their walk,
Edgar Hurt starting to walk north
ward to bis borne, a mile away: Doro
thy Ten Eyck to go to her father's
bouse up on the bluff, a short distance
back of the beach. On the way she
passed the house of Mother Tan Gaas
back, who stood In the door.
"It's bad luck for yon, Dorothy." said
the old woman, "that you've taken up
with Edgar Hart, who is going to the
city, wbere be'll meet finer birds than
you. You'll not see him again in these
parts."
"You will prove a false prophet.
Mother Gaasback. Edgar la trne
steel'
"Just wait and see." replied the other,
and, turning her back on the girl', who
was struggling to repress tears at the
malicious thrust -she went into the
bouse.
Edgar had agreed to post a letter to
his sweetheart as soon as it wonld be
convenient for him to do so after reach
ing the city. He was to start at day
light the next morning and hoped to
reach New York by evening. If he
wrote the next day Dorothy might get
a letter from him by the post on the
fourth day after he left her.
The morning after their parting Dor
othy stole away from home to go to
the place wbere Edgar had given her
his last kiss. She reached the edge of
the bluff and stood looking down on
the ocean. The crew of a British ves
sel anchored not far from the shore
was making, preparations for sailing.
She was a man-of-war. and had the
couple not been absorbed In each other
the evening before they would have
noticed her standing down the coast
from the direction of New York. Dor
othy saw a man on the deck waving
something white, but only for a mo
ment, since an officer ordered him to
join those engaged in hoisting the sails.
Dorothy surmised that a sailor seeing
a woman on the shore was inclined to
salute ber. The ship sailed away.
When the fourth day after Edgar's
departure came round the post rider
left no letter for Dorothy. She was
sure one would come for her the next
day. but she was again disappointed.
When a week had passed and no let
ter came Dorothy was much troubled.
Passing the house of Mother Ten Eyck,
the old woman called to her, asking
what word she had heard from Edgar,
and Dorothy was obliged to say that
she had not heard at all.
"I didn't think be'd go back on you
so soon," said Mother Ten Eyck.
"Well, you'd better choose some young
man who is content to stick to the plow
and not waste yoor time waiting for
one who is ambitious to become citi
fied." Dorothy, stung to the quick, was
about to hurl the words back at the
old woman, but repressed the impulse
and, turning her back, went her way.
Weeks, months passed and no word
came from Edgar. Dorothy was too
proud to seek him. but at last one of
the neighbors, who had business in New
York, when there went to the place
where Edgar was to have been em
ployed and learned that the young man
had not appeared according to appoint
ment When Dorothy beard this she
was filled with forebodings worse than
her distress at being neglected. She
feared that her lover had been mur
dered. "He went away to get rid of her,"
said Mother Ten Eyck. "He never in
tended to stop in New York. He's
gone back to his folks in England."
Every one except Dorothy accepted
this explanation. But Dorothy had
faith in her lover. She told of having
seen a man on a ship wave to her the
day after Edgar's departure, and this
was interpreted by her neighbors to
mean a farewell from her lover to her.
Eighteen months passed.' when one
day the missing man walked into Dor
othy's home alive and well and caught
her up in his arms.
This was his story. The night he
left Dorothy, while walking on the
beach, he saw a boat approaching.
When it touched the shore half a doz
en men sprang out took him forcibly
into the boat and out to a ship that had
just dropped her anchor. He had been
captured by a press gang for the Brit
ish navy.
The' next morning he saw Dorothy
on the beach and tried to attract her
attention, but was ordered to duty In
hoisting sails. He had been compelled
to serve the interval since his capture
in the British navy and bad received
quite a sum of prize money, with
which he had at last succeeded in mak
ing liis escape. He married Dorothy,
and with bis capital he opened a small
store in New York.
' A Screwdriver of Importance.
The engine had gone to pieces, the
screw revolved no more, and the yacht
of the millionaire rolled helplessly In
the trough of the sea.
Anxiously signaling for help was the
wireless operator. He was approached
by the owner of the' craft "I wish,"
said the latter, "that you would advise
my wife, in Brooklyn, of our accident"
"Shall I tell her the engine is bro
ken, sir?" asked the wireless man.
"By no means!" exclaimed the mil
lionaire. "Those bald words would be
discomforting to the sensitive woman.
Send her a message which, while not
transgressing the truth, will make her
think.our accident is only a trivial one.
Say our screwdriver is broken." Judge.
EGG PRICE DROPS
01 CENT AGAIN
Owing to the fact that only second
grade eggs were offered by poultry
men to Portland markets, commission
men have shown but little interest in
the trade and Tuesday prices dropped
from 21 to 20 cents. That the drop is
not due to a weak market, but solely
to local conditions, is shown by the
reports from Puget Sound and . Cali
fornia, where a firm tone in eggs is
maintained. Local poultrymen are
now selling almost entirely to con
sumers direct, or to the smaller
stores, and find that in this way they
can get from 22 to 25 cents.
From $3 to $3.75 a crate is' being
paid for state strawberries, and the
market is holding firm. California
fruit is ruling at nearly a third lessi
and is weak. State fruit is in prime
shape, and some superb berries are
being offered. -
Asparagus has reached the dollar
mark per dozen bunches in Portland
markets. No change is quoted in lo
cal prices following the Portland
drop.
Old potatoes are quoted at from
2 to 3 cents a pound, and the' mar
ket is weak.

MAY GO TO COURT
OVER NEW ISLAND
ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 29. An island
containing 207 acres of rich farm
land has been "discovered" in tjhe
Missouri River about a mile north
east of Music's Ferry, the extreme
point of St. Louis county. The coun
ty court is considering a plan to sell
it to the highest bidder for the bene
fit of the school fund. Construction
of a government dike is expected to
preserve the island for many years
and to form hundreds of arcres of
farm land in that part of the country.
The island began to form several
years ago.
Harry Ehlers and Richard S. Smi
ley, who live near the new island, in
formed the county court of its exist
ence several weeks ago, and the court
ordered a survey by County Engineer
William Elbring. This survey shows
it is between Pelican Island and the
south bank of the river.
A survey ordered by the riparian
owners, the John Corroll estate and
Silas C. Carrico, shows much larger
acreage. They claim the land was
formed by accretions and belongs to
their property. They will defend
their claim and have placed signs on
the island warning trespassers to
keep off.
Ehlers and Smiley say if the island
is put up for sale they will bid at
least $1.25 an acre for It.
"GIRL III CABARET"
The Frank Rich company (western)
will open their engagement at the
Star Theatre next Thursday night,
May 29, in "The Girl in the Cabaret,"
in which the comedy element will be
predominating.
The peice is one of the funniest In
the company's large repertoire and
will afford the principals opportunity
to demonstrate their versaltility. The
plot is of court light and inconstquent
ly but will provide all kinds of mirth
provoking situations for the two prin
cipal comedians, a Dutchman and an
Irishman. The scenes are laid in a
carbaret, the type of cafe so recently
introduced" in New York - and other
large cities.
The most of the fun centers around
the antics of the Dutchman and the
Irishman who have been pressed into
service as chef and waiter, following
a general strike at the cabaret.
Particular attention has been paid
to the musical programme in which
the "Sunshine Girls" will be seen to
advantage, they appearing in some
classy drills and ensemble numbers;
nor has the costuming or staging
been overlooked, for it is up to the
high standard for which the Rich pro
ductions are noted.
Manager Murphy, in arranging for
the present engagement of the com
pany, took particular pains to inquire
into the class of performance given,
and not until he had received absolute
assurance that there was nothing in
the least way "off color" did he sign
the contracts. "The Girl in the Cab
aret" is wholesome and clean through
out, and has no suggestion of rowdy
ness in Its lines.
CONCERT AT GLADSTONE
Mrs. N. M. Stevenson, assisted by
Miss Alice Johnson of Portland, will
appear in concert recital at the
Church of Christ, Gladstone, Thurs
day evening, May 29, for the benefit
of the Sunday school. Mrs. Steven

line and her appearance is looked for
with much interest.

to the charred, or brittle, or soggy kind made in the

superiority cf grilled steak to fried steak.
