Clackamas county automobilists
have been invited to enter decorated
cars in the great automobile parale
of the Portland Rose Festival to be
held Wednesday, June 11. The ar
rangements for the Portland pageant
have been placed in the hands of the
Portland Automobile club,' and this
organization has extended a formal
invitation to the Clackamas County
Automobile club to aid the larger or
ganization in making the parade a
greater success than ever before.
The committee in charge of the
automobile parade to be held Sat
urday in connection with the local
rose show, will take the matter up
with entrants in this pageant , and
will endeavor to get as many of them
as possible to enter their cars in the
Portland parade.
The invitation from the Portland
club to the local organization is as
follows :
"For the first time since its incep
tion, the automible parade of the
Rose Festival, scheduled for Wednes:
day, June 11, has been put into the
hands of the Portland Automobile
club. For this reason, it is naturally
expected that it will be the most
elaborate in the history of Portland's
famous summer carnival. Three beau
tiful solid silver cups have been pur
chased for first, second and third
prizes in each division.
'We are asking your help to make
the Clubs and organizations part of
the parade a stupendous success. We
need all the cars we can get. It is
certain that this division will be a
great deal larger than in previous
years. The cups and the honor are
worthy of your best efforts.
'Under the new rules, no officer of
either the" Automobile club or the
Rose Festival association, or their re
latives, members of the parade com
mittee or its officials, are eligible to
a prize. This eliminates any favorit
ism.
"This division's scope is wide. En
tered will be cars representing the
most prominent civic, social and com
mercial organizations of the city. We
ask your co-operation; won't you con
tribute to its success? . You can signi
fy your intention of entering by com
munication with the secretary of the
Automobile Club, Main 694."

PORTLAND POLICE
PLANS LEAK HERE
A forecast of coming police depart
ment history in Portland was given
Thursday night by Captain Enoch A.
Slover, acting chief of the Portland
force, who was in this city visiting
friends. Captain Slover said that he
was going to resign the office hs has
held throughout the greater part of
Mayor Rushlights rule, and that his
resignation would take effect between
June 25 and June 30. The captain
will return to his former relief, the
second night, and Captain Joseph
Keller, now in charge cf that will be
saiited to make way for him.
It is understood that Acting Cap
tain Rila ', who is now in command
of the "first night" relief, will be
made acting chief in Capt. Slover's
place, and will retain this office un
der Mayor Albee when he assumes
charge-of the city affairs in July.
Friends of Captain Riley are said to
have urged his appointment by Mayor
Rushlight, and while Riley himself
has not sought any favors from Mayor-elect
Albee, it is said to be posi
tively established that he will con
tinue at the head of the force under
the new administration. Presumably
Captain Keller will take the place
left vacant by Riley, as Captain
Moore, the senior officer of -the de
partment, prefers to hold his present
position at the head of the "day relief."
Riley's etevation to flhe chieftan
ship is declared to be not only a
mark of merit for him, but is said to
be a proof of the intention of the in
coming mayor to place in charge of
various city departments men who
have stood high in civil service rank
in the past. At the last examination
for captaincies Riley failed of ap
pointment, it is said, because but ow
vacancy was to be filled, and Mayor
Rushlight, through a political debt,
was forced to appoint Keller to the
place. No question, however, has
ever been raised as to Keller's effici
ency. He is known as one of the
most active men in the department
and during the time he has had
charge of the "second night relief ""e
has not only raised the efficiency 3f
his men, but has made a number of
important arrests himself.

The Oregon City Enterprise today
prints the largest advertisement ever
carried by a newspaper , in this city.
Three and a half pages are taken up
by the announcement of Bannon &
Company,- who through this medium
are telling the people of Clackamas
county of one of the most remarkable
sales in local business history. That
Mr. Bannon has selected The Enter
prise as the means of reaching the
people shows his realization of this
paper's circulation, and his confi
dence in newspaper advertising to
bring results.
The advertisement was set entirely
in The Enterprise office and is being
handled by the presses without an7
change in the regular operation of the
plant. While it establishes a local
record for size, it is conclusive proof
that the modern merchant is relying
more and more upon the newspaper
of his home city as the best advertis
ing medium; knowing that . through
its columns a greater proportion of
the buying public can be reached than
in any other way.
