"Scout" Visits Main Points in Wil
lamette Valley and Gives Praise
to Opportunities Afforded
North of Town
Among the visitors to Oregon City
Saturday, to view the features of the
rose show celebration, was Lloyd H.
Cahart. a representative of a group of
Puget Sound milling interests, who is
"scouting" in the Willamette valley
for suitable sites for branch mills of
the big northern organizations. While
here Mr. Cahart journeyed to the
north of the city limits, and looked
over some land in what is known as
the "China gardens." In the course
of the day he met a number of local
land owners and business men, an1
while not imparting a great deal of
information himself, asked many ques
tions as to the resources of the com
munity, its probable development, and
other points.
Before leaving for Portland, on
route to Puget Sound, Mr. Cahart ad
mitted that ha was sent into Oregon
by a number of Washington lumber
mill men, who were planning branch
industries in the Willamette valley
and along the extensions of the Hill
Lines in Oregon. These millmen be
lieve that there will b3 a considerable
amount of development follow the
building of new interurban and elec
tric lines by the Hill people, and de
sire to gain the trade of these sec-.
. tions, and to furnish them with build
ing material and interior lumber.
While he would not make any defin
ite statements as to the sites of these
proposed branch mills and supply de
pots, Mr. Cahart did say that he be
lieved the high bluff of the river north
of Oregon City would make an ad
mirable site for one of them.
"I find that you have a number of
things there that would prove ex
tremely valuable to us,v he said. "In
the first place there is a large tract
of practically level land, bordered , on
one side by the river, and on the oth
er by transportation lines. This lan j
lies high above the river, so that it
probably never will be flooded, and
because of that any plant constructed
there would be able to keep in con
tinuous operation. You also have
near at hand, I findr a considerable
territory that is being reached by the
Clackamas Southern railroad, and be
yond that there is, I believe, a great
deal of timber. It seems to me that
this land north of the city would
therefore be doubly valuable to us,
for we might be able to get consider
able timber for our work hauled down
by the local road. This, when cut in
to lumber and inside wood, if it is
suitable for such, could then be haul
ed back to distributive yards along
the line.
k "In Washington we believe that an
era of great development is fast ap
proaching in all parts of Oregon, par
ticularly on either side of the Willam
ette valley, and between the river and
: the coast. For business reasons we
are anxious to get into this field, and
'. to help in its up-building, for the more
communities that spring up, the great
er will be our business. Even should
we be unable to get timber down here,
we could ship our finished products
down over the Hill lines without
change, and in this way could prob-

The "tinder box of Europe," as the Balkan group of states has been called, continues to threaten a conflagration
or, at any rate, a local blaze. It woulcLseem that in the disastrous war of the allies against Turkey the little na
tions would have had enough fighting to satisfy them for awhile. That at least two of them are still willing to fight,
however, was made apparent by the recent cablegrams Announcing the possibility of trouble between Bulgaria and
Servia over the possession of Saloniki. It seems that the Bulgarian and Servian troops near that, city had been en
gaged In several skirmishes before the public was aware of the situation. In this illustration are, above, types of Bui

The milling interests which Mr. Ca

Flood conditions in the Willamette
are not improving any with the close
of the week, and no great amount of
hope is held forth by weather offi
cials. Continued warm weather in the
Cascade and the Rocky mountains is
sluicing the snow off, and all big trib
utaries of the Columbia are at record
heights. Oregon City is not suffer
ing any damage from the high water,
save that fishing is exceptionally poor
as a result; but along the lower river
conditions are rapidly getting serious.
In Portland cellars on the west side
are flooded back as far as Fifth street,
while many industries along the river
have been forced to close down.
At the Oaks the high water has al
ready put a number of the amuse
ments out of commission particular
ly the "figure eight" and the "old
mill," perhaps the1 best attractions of
the amusement park. The "old mill"
is a mass of pasty piaster and paint
mingled with muddy water, as far as
its attractive parts are concerned, and
anybody attempting to ride the "fig
ure eight" would be treated to a duck
ing. In spite of this, however, the re
sort is remaining open and charging
admission.

COII'S DECISION
PREVENTS CHANGES
Decision of the Marion county
court, to the effect that the act pass
ed by the last legislature calling for
a special referendum election for next
November was unconstitutional, may
have far-reaching effect locally if it is
sustained by the supreme court. In
its application to the county attorney
law, for instance, it will hold up ths
appointment of Gilbert Hedges for
practically another year, instead of
permitting the matter to be settled
this fall. Mr. Hedges was appoined
as county attorney under the new law,
and would have taken office before
this had it not been for the referen
dum enactment, which delayed his
stepping into the newly created place
until November.
Confirmation of the Marion county
courty court's decision will also block
the advance in salary . for County
School Superintendent T. J. Gary for
another year, as this was one of the
matters also to be voted upon this
fall. When the salary increase in this
county was passed, agreement was
reached whereby Mr. Gary would do
th-3 work of one f the school super
visors as well, thus saving the coun
ty this official's salary, which was
much more than the increase. Delay
ing of the referendum on the matter
will force the county to pay this third
supervisor for another year. .
Cancellation of the referendum that
was expected to settle such questions
will effect many other minor changes
also, and is generally regretted in this
county.
The Marion county court declared
the law unconstitutional because in
effect it restricts the time in which
a referendum can be called on the
legislative enactments.

CRACK S. P. TRAIN
MEETS ACCIDENT
The Willamette Limited, -northbound
over the Southern Pacific,
struck a loose rail just outside of Sa
lem Saturday morning, and only tha
quick action of the engineer in "dyna
miting" his train prevented -what
would in all probability otherwise
have been a serious wreck. As it
was the engine left the track, and
passengers in the forward cars were
severely jolted. The accident hap
pened about half a mile from the
state home for febble minded, and
doctors and nurses from this institu
tion were the first on the scene to
give aid to the injured.
A special train with doctors was
rushed out from Portland, followed
by the wrecking erew, and after sev
eral hours delay traffic was resumed.
As. all trains were running extra sec
tions to accomodate the crowds head
ed for Portland for the Rose Festival,
considerable confusion was caused to
traffic. -
Mrs. Isabelle Woods of Sweet Home
and Joe Langlord, news agent, sus
tained the most serious injuries. Mrs;
Woods received a severe bruise on
the back of her head at the base of
the brain. She is over 70 years old,
but was able to walk after the acci
dent. Langlord, whose home is ii
Portland,- was bruised on the head.
Conductor George Peebler was in

Oregon City "en masse paid hom
age to the Rose Saturday. Not7 only
Oregon City, but a large part of Clack
amaus county as well, honored the
grand flower of the Willamette Val
ley in splendid fashion. It was the
Second Annual Rose show, and the
large crowd, assembled from all sec
tions of Clackamas county, and from
Portland as well, enjoyed the day im
mensely. Weather conditions were
idea!, not only for rose shows, but
for motor races, and other features,
so that the varied programs of the
day were carried off in great style.
Crowds began to assemble at an early
hour in the morning, by noon Main
street was crowded and by l'0q p. m.
the streets were pammed to witness
the big parade, which ushered in the
afternoon's festivities.
The pageant was formed near 12tn
street about 2:00 p. m., and got away
without a hitch, the line of march ex
tending down to the Hawley mills
and doubling back to the place of be
ginning. The line of autos, pedes
trains, carriages nd floats extended
for almost a mile. The Redlands
band headed the pageant, closely fol
lowed by the Queen of the Rose Fes
tival, Miss Ethel Risley and her
maids. Mlayor Jones, Supt. Tooze
and J. E. Hedges came next in gala
day attire. The float division follow
ed, featuring the "human rosebud"
float, the Woodmen of the World, an
artistic wagon decorated with the
grains of Clackamas county, and the
advertising stunt of the Gladstone
Wet Wash, floating laconic epigrams,
"we want your duds in our suds," and
"everything back but the dirt." The
Mothers' Congress of Canemah, ap
peared in an artistically decorated
carriage.
The Moose lodge made- one of the
hits of the afternoon in their nifty
white uniforms, decorated with red
trimmings, neckties, etc. They march
ed 50 strong, and each noble Moose
had an American flag firmly anchored
to his fist, from whence it fluttered
in the breeze with a very pretty en
semo'.e effect. And Hose Company
No. 5 did itself proud too, with the
old hose cart completely covered in
a riot of patriotic colors and roses.
A pretty little lady sat in the center
of this mass of verdure, and drove
the five stalwart members on to vic
tory. Among the funny, features,
Charlie Schram's "kids in the barrel,'
the "Jackmobile," driven by Harry
Kramer, and the two rubes, who in
every day life are Miss Alice Holman
and Miss Evelyn Williams, were feat
ures. The autos, about thirty-five in num
ber, were most artistically decorated
with rests, festoons and bunting, and
the parade as a whole was the best
ever seen hare. Judge Grant B. Dim-
ick carried off the sweepstakes of the
day. The judge won the 'first prize
or SiO.OO for the best decorated auto
of Oregon City, and to cap the climax,
the Clackamas Southern railway in
which the judge has a sort of fatherly
interest, won second money for ma
chines of the same class from out "of
town.
Ward Lawton from Mt. Pleasant,
won first money in the out-of-town
class and Geo. B. Armstrong of Red
lands took second honors.
The ladies of the Oregon City Rose
show, in a beautifully decorated float
carrying some " thirty sweet little
misses, and one Mrs. dressed in
green and pink gowns and throwing
roses to the crowds,, won first honors
for the best decorated vehicle, other
than the auto ""class. Oregon City
Commercial club chivalrously took
second money with a mighty pretty
float of Clackamas grains and . flow
ers. In the outside of Oregon City class
the Mothers' Congress of Canemah,
took first money in an .uncontested
field. The Moose lodge took first
prize by sheer force of numbers and
natty appearance, and deserved it,
too. Pierce Walker and his gang of
Boy Scouts came in for a share of
the honors, while in the plug-ugly
class, the ribbon was taken by Harry
Kramer and his "Jackmobile," a com
posite of mule', man and junk, which
got along nicely, everything consider
ed. Misses Holman and Evelyn Wil
liams took second money. The ladies
certainly had a clever make-up.
In the "unique'' class the Concord
Indians, about two dozen youthful
squaws and braves, carried off the
first wampum, and 'Charlie Schram's
trouserless youths took second
money.
Among the many beautifully ' decor
ated cars, from which the judges were
forced to fret and stew to select their
first and second choices, were those
driven by Al. Price, E. E. Brodie,
Frank Sullivan, George Sullivan, Jas.
Pety, Ernest M&ss, C. H. Dye, Mort
Latourette, Henry Stevens, Gerald
Warner, Charles Miller, Charles Park
er, Eddie Busch, Dr. Mount and Kent
Wilson. .
The Oregon City bank took part in
the festivities, appearing in neat uni
forms, and incidentally in autos.
The babies' department was a nov
elty that won hearty applause, the
little tots appearing in. their own ma
chines, or baby carriages, and taking
in the crowds with apparent uncon
cern. Several youthful cowbovs add
ed a touch of frontier life to the par
ade. - .
The judges were, Don Meldrum, M.
J. Brown, J. H. Walker, Geo. Bannon
and R. M. Brayne. They found the
task of selecting the winners a hard
one in the extreme, as so many of the
cars were about evenly artistic. !'..
T. McBain was the chairman of. the
parade, and was assisted by M. J. La-
z-eile. ' Dr. Beattie was grand marshal
with Henry Streibig as his first aide.
After the parade the rose show proper'
took place at Busch's hall, and was
shortly followed by the motorboat
races. A dance wound up the day's
festivities.

of Rainier, again established her su
periority over the. "Oregon Wolf II."'
Saturday, in a race held here under
the auspices of the Portland Mbtor
boat club as a part of the festivities
of Rose Show day. Over an oblong
course of somewhat less than two
miles in length the Rainier boat tore
four times, outpointing the Wolf both
on the turns and in the straightaway,
and winning by almost a mile. The
total distance of the race logged be
tween seven and a half and eight
miles, -and was covered by the Va
moose in 9 minutes 30 3-5 seconds,
and by the former champion in 10
minutes and 44 seconds.
The race was pulled off under ideal
conditions late in the afternoon. As
the two speed craft lined up for the
start the vamoose had a trifle the
lead, and when the gun was fired as
the starting signal, leaped ahead to
a safe margin of six feet. The Wolf
neved lessened this distance, and on
the first turn the Vamoose gained rap
idly, the older craft having to slow
down to make the halt circle. By this
time the engines of the Vamoose
were popping and purring in a dull
stacatto roar, and the boat fairly
skimmed over the placid waters of
the river. On. the straightaway the
Rainier boat craft pulled slowly ahead
of the Wolf, and on each following
turn increased her lead by leaps and
bounds.
This was the first of the races, The
second, between craft of the runabout
class, was won by the Laurette in a
field of six entries. No time was tali
en by the offical judges. Mayor Jones,
Recorder Stipp and Dr. Ice, in any but
the big event. The third race, for 20
footers, was postponed on account of
the lateness of the hour. Handsome
silver cups were awarded the winner
in each event; and it is reported that
in the Vamoose-Wolf contest a size
able side-purse was put up by the
owners.
The races .followed the motorboat
parade, which was one of the prettiest
water spectacles ever held here. Boats
from Portland, Milwaukie, Oswego
and Oregon City participated, and all
were decked with bunting or flowers.
The craft in the parade were the
Dixie, Ruth K., Yarrow, Eva, Lester
S., Kittle, Oregon Wolf II., Artisan,

But one accident marred the cruise
of the Portland Motorboat club to this
city. Coming up the river , the Nep
tune, one of the prettiest craft of the
group, struck a snag just above the
rapids, and tore off her rudder and
punched a hole in her stern. She wat
beached to avoid sinking, and later
was towed to Oregon City where she
has been docked pending repairs.'
Visiting yachtsmen attended a bal'.
given in their honor at the Armory Ic
the evening, and their brilliant uni
forms added much to the attractive
ness of the scene.

The Seventh Annual Rose show,
given under the auspices of the Ore
gon City Rose society, held Saturday
afternoon in Busch's hall, was, of
course, one of the big features of the
day, and was a splendid success, both
in number of entries and in the
superb quality of the many varieties
shown. That Clackamas county is
the natural home of the rose was con
clusively demonstrated and also that
the women of Clackamas county can
grow the finest roses of any land.
Red, white, pink, yellow, in fact all
colors that roses ever dared to as
sume, were exhibited. Testouts,
Ramblers, Hybrid Teas, LaFrance,
Gloria Lyonaise, Marechal Nell, Flor
ence Remberton, Fran Karl Drusch
kis, Papa Gonthiers, Hermosa in
fact all the popular varieties and
many of the aristocratic and rare
species which are not grown in sv
everyone's back yard. The display
was most impressive, about 150 en
tries being made.
All afternoon the crowds surged in
Busch's hall. Immediately after the
parade they came in droves, and from
then until the motorboat races, about
4:30, the rose-lovers of Oregon City
and Clackamas county elbowed their
way among the fragrant bouquets. To
Mrs. J. J. Cook, secretary of the ex
hibit, belongs much of the credit for
the success of the display.
