In Washington.- This snapshot proves it Mrs. Marshall wasacaught

horsemanship. She is an ardent horsewoman herself when she finds time to
ride. She's up on many of the fine points of horseflesh and can tell at a quick
glance whether the judges are going to have a hard time rendering a decision
or not Mrs. Marshall was sitting in the box with a friend when this was
taken. Another interested spectator was Miss HarriniRn, daughter of Mr. and

LONG WAR OVER
TREATY IS SIGNED
LONDON, May 30. The eight
months' war between Turkey and the
allied Balkan states is ended. The
peace of London" was signed today
in the picture gallery of St. James
palace.
The only dramatic feature of the
historic occasion was M. Popovitch's
expression of keen disappointment
that Montenegro had "been despoiled
of her just share of the spoils of a
triumphant war." and the hope that
"England, which took the lead in the
spoliation," would take every step to
compensate Montenegro for her sacri
fice.

HADE UPON BOATS
Reservations for the special Com
mercial club excursion to Portland
on Monday June 7, the opening day
of the Rosa Festival, have been en
tirely taken up. So many additional
requests have been received from
members who wanted to go, however,
that Friday the Live Wires committee
that chartered the two steamers took
t!ie matter up with the United States
steamboat inspectors at Portland,
and after learning the exact nature
of the trip, the inspectors gave th-eir
sanction for an increase of the car
rying capacity of the steamers.
Eighty more passengers may now
be accomodated, making a total of
2S0 passengers that will be carried by
the two boats. The exrra 80 reserva
tions, it is beleived, will be eagerly
taken up; and all desirous of obtain
ing tickets out of this additional num
ber should make prompt application
to E. E. Brodie, secretary of the res
ervations committee. The two steam-1
ers will leave Oregon -City at 8 a. m.
June 7, will take part in the water
parade at Portland in honor of the I
arrival of Rex Oregonus, and will re
turn early in the afternoon. Coffee
and sandwiches will be served on the
trip.
NEW FIGHT UPON

ST. PAUL, MSnn., May 30.The
Wallace-Fosseen law, enacted by the
Minnesota legislature with a view to
suppressing disorderly and gambling
resorts by preventing the use of
property for improper purposes,. came
into effect today.- Tife law has sev
eral unique features. Under the pro
visions any citizen may bring a civil
action to abate a nuisance, the re
sorts being classed as nuisances. Anv
attorney may prosecute the action,
which will be brought in the name of
the state.
If the court finds that the charges
are true an order will be issued clos

which the property is being put. The
attorney prosecuting the case, if suc

against an abuse of the law it is pro

WILLAMETTE STEALS MARCH ON
NEW INCORPORATORS AND
-WILL GET MILL LAND
TAXATION GAIN IS STAKE IN RACE
By Filing Eelection Notices Saturday
River Townl Gains Two-day
Lead on Those Who
Would Consolidate
There is a race for territory be
tween Wllamette. which is already
incorporated, and the soon-to-be con
solidated and incorporated commun
ities on the west side of the river, in
cluding West Oregon City, Bolton,
Sunset and Wilamette Heights. Ly
ing between the two communities is
a strip of schools district, which in
cludes certain mill property; and be
cause thfs milj property is valuable
for taxation, and ! also' because the
Oregon law provides tha? no incor
ated city can extend into two school
districts. ;
Late Friday night Wilamette stole
a march upon its competitors, and de
cided tt annex about two-fifths of this
school district, and to do it at once.
The law provides that four weeks no
tice must be given of an election in
such matters, and the Willamette folk
got their election notices posted
shortly before midnight, so that they
will be able to hold their election
June 28. It took some rustling to
get the notices printed and posted,
and to make arrangements for other
wise complying with -the publicity
that must be given the matter. But I
it was successfully done, and now
-Willamette is chuckling and feeling
quite, happy.
Its citizens believe that they have
stolen a march on the rival claimants
of the much-desired strip of property.
Their election calls for its annexation
to Willamette, and there are many
reasons to believe that the election
will carry,, by a heavy vote. No mat
ter how much the other communities
hustle now, they cannot hold their
election before June 29, and as that
date comes on Suuday, they cannot
no'o k Deiore juire su. This gives-
Willamette two days lead, and Wil
lamette is sure that it has the victory
already won.
About two-fifths of the school dis
trict will be embraced, in the annex
ation. This will mean, also, that
about two-fifths of the mill property
will be included, and taxation on this
will be yielded to Willamette instead
of to the new incorporated city that
is soon to form on the west side. Just
how much taxation this will amount
to in dollars and cents has not yet
been figured out, but whatever the
amount is, it will be that much less
available for the new incorporation.

Memorial Day was observed in Ore
gon City by the general suspension
of business, by picnics and outings,
and by the solemn services of Meade
Post, G A. R., and its allied organiza
tions. The day was perfect in every
way, and the warm air and bracing
breeze made it ideal as a holiday.
Throughout the day the city s was
crowded with visitors, many of whom
were attracted by the scenic grand
eur of the falls, which, because of the i
exceptionally high water, are now at
their best.
The typical-celebration of the day
commenced early in the morning,
when local veterans "gathered for
their exercises. , Each of the old
soldiers wore his medals, the buttons
on every uniform had been freshly
burnished, and the hands that" had
through the years of the- war carried
muskets or swords bore instead tok
ens of peace pretty bouquets of wild
flowers. The post and relief corps
assembled on Main street, and es
corted by Company G, Oregon Nation
al Guard, marched to Willamette hall.
