NOISY WELCOME FOR REX OREGONUS
Two Chartered Steamers Carry Local
Boosters on Pleasure Voyage
Every Minute of Which
is Enjoyable
With a perfect day for the trip,
and with everything arranged so that
the greatest amount of enjoyment
could be obtained in the event, 274
members of the Oregon City Commer
cial club or their families Monday
helped extend a royal welcome to
Rex Oregonus, ruler of the Portland
Rose Festival. The local boosters
journeyed to Portland and return on
the steamers Ruth and Lang, especial
ly chartered for the day by the Live
Wires from the Willamette Naviga
tion company, and not a single unto
ward happening marred the pleasure
of the day.
Both boats were waiting at the Ore
gon Transportation company's dock
at nine in the morning, and the start
was made promptly. United States
Inspectors were on hand to see that
the capacity of the boats was not ex
ceeded, and it so happened that while
280 tickets for the trip were issued, J
the party embarking was actually six
less than the limit, so there was no
delay or dispute at the wharf. The
Lang pulled out with 128 passengers
on board, while the Ruth carried 146.
A package of 100 tin horns, which
had been ordered by the Commercial
club to help in the jollification when
the king of the Festival was to be
greeted, Inadvertently got on board
the Lang, so it happened that the
smaller crew made the greater noise.
People on the Ruth made up for this,
however, and when it came to wel
coming Rex Oregonus there was
noise enough for all. During the par
ade the whistles of both Oregon City
boats were kept going until their en
gineers telephoned up to the pilot
house and begged to have the sirens
shut off so that they could keep steam
enough in the boilers to keep the en
gines going.
Both vessels were decorated with
fir boughs, and when the passengers
got aboard nearly everyone had
brought roses, and these were used in
decking the pilot house and upper
works of each craft. In the water
parade the Oregon City boats made as
good, if not a better showing, than
any In line, and many comments wers
made in Portland on the civic spirit
shown by the local boosters. Both
the Ruth and the Lang went down in
to the lower Portland harbor as far as
the Portland Flouring mills, and thero
fell in line in the water parade, an'l
assisted in escorting the Sea Otter,
with Rex Oregonus aboard, to the
Stark street dock. The vessels then
continued their way on up the river,
arriving home early in the afternoon.
Sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and
soda water were served on board,
and on the return trip the decks were
cleared and dancing was indulged in
by the more festively inclined, while
those who preferred to be sedate
sought out secluded nooks on the ves
sels and played cards. Everybody
had the best of times, and it was gen
erally regretted that the run up and
down the river was so short.
After the boats had reached their
destination, the passengers formed
on the dock ftftpr diKprnhnrltiTic and
gave three hearty cheers and a tiger
for B. T. McBain, who was largely re
sponsible for the success and enpoy-
abieness or the voyage. This tribute
was spontaneous, and was as sincere
as it was unexpected.
BIG CROWD EXPECTED
Representatives of all the church
brotherhoods in the city will meet in
Woodmen of the World hall Tuesday
night to attend a banquet, at which
the Rev. J. S. McGaw, field secretary
of the World's Second Christian Cit
izenship conference, will explain the
purposes and plans of the big interna
tional meeting to be held in Portland
next month. The aim of the gather
ing is to create an interest here in
the conference, and to lay plans for a
representative attendance from Ore
gon City.
Tickets for the banquet are without
price, and may be obtained from the
local pastors, or from members of
the various -brotherhoods. Aside from
Mr. McGaw, many others will speak,
and it is expected that a most inter
esting session will be held.

GREATER FACILITIES ARE DESIRED
Growth of Postal Business for Last
Teti Years Shows Present Quar
ters to be Inadequate for
Further' Use '
Oregon City may have a new and
modern post office building next year,
if plans suggested Monday by Postal
Inspector Clement are carried out.
The inspector was visiting the local
office and discussing with Postmaster
Tom Randall the changes that would
be necessary when the present lease
expires, and in the course of his re
marks intimated that if the citizens
were to get together and erect a mod
ern, fire-proof and light building, at
an approximate cost of $8,000, the
government would probably be glad
to rent it for five or tan years at an
annual expenditure of $1,200 per an
num. The present post office, in the I. O.
O. F. building was leased ten years
ago, and the right of the government
to occupy it will expire December 1.
Growth of the postal business here
has been tremendous during that time
and the old quarters are now utterly
inadequate, and are also dark and
poorly ventillated. Owing to the nig
gardly policy of the government in
former years the entire ground floor
space was not taken up, and the best
locations in the building are occu
pied by a real estate office and an
express office. This has forced the
post office to the rear, and strangers
in the city have often had difficulty
in locating Uncle Sam's place of busi
ness. Erection of a new and modern
building would, remedy this, and
would also prove a paying investment.
It is suggested that a one-story struc
ture with about 2,200 square feet of
floor space would be adequate for the
demands of some years to come. Sky
ights could be placed in the roof to
give plenty of light, and the building
made a desirable asset to the business
section of the town. If adequate
quarters are not made available down
town for the accomodation of Uncle
Sam, it may be necessary, to mave
the post offiee up on the hill, and this
would be a matter of very general m-
onvenience.
Need of new quarters is shown
plainly by statistics of the local office.
There are but 1,700 square feet of
space at hand, and a third as much
again is needed. Ti;e office, when it
first occupied the present building
was doing only but about $7,000
worth of business a year. Last ye?.r
the postal receipts here were over
$19,000. Ten years ago there ware
no rural carriers operating out of the
local office, now seven free delivery
routes into the surrounding country
are cared for. Formerly, also there
were no city carriers--now there are
four, and need for mora has already
developed. Two clerks were former
ly able to handle all the business or
the office, now five find that their
lands are full all the time.
The pressing need of new and ade
quate quarters will be brought before
the business men of the city, and it
is believed that rather than see tns
office taken up the hill a suitable
building will be erected, or at least
that available and proper space for
quarters will be provided in the busi
ness district.
FRIDAY IS LUCKY
DAY FOR FARMER
Next Friday is going to be some
day for Oregon City, for the farmers
of Clackamas county, and for the
Commercial club. Through the court
esy of the Hill Lines in Oregon, Proi.
A. E. Chamberlain, chief agricultural
expert of the Great Northern railway,
will deliver a free lecture to farmers
in the Commercial club rooms at two
in the afternoon. Prof. Chamberlain
has a nation-wide reputation as one
of the greatest agriculturists of the
present daiy, and his talks are always
eagerly looked forward to, and found
to be most helpful and instructive.
He is making a tour of the Willam
ette valley, speaking on development
work in agricultural lines, and though
none of the Hill roads as yet tap
Clackamas county, he will come here
to talk to farmers, ranchers and oth
ers interested, telling -them many
secrets of success, and giving them
valuable hints as to how to get the
most out of the soil. At the close of
his lecture he will be glad to answer
questions in regard to any problems
that may be presented.
On next Friday, also, there will a:
rive here a delegation of bankers aud
farmers from South Dakota commun
ities, who are touring the West in
search of investments and locations.
They will be met at the depot by a
committee of Commercial club mem
bers, and will be taken in automobiles
about the adjacent country, and also
afforded a visit to the local mills. I
time permits, a luncheon will be serv
ed for them, as well.

Taxing Your
Income
What would you think of an
income tax equal to the amount
of money you waste each year
by careless 'buying?
The sum would startle many
of us who are not considered ex
travagant in the common ac
ceptance of the word. And yet
we go along the even tenor of
our way, happy that we have
enought to live on and a little
to spare, perhaps.
But, aside from extravag- '
ances as such, are you taxing"
your income more than you
should in your every-day pur
chasing of ' the necessaries of
life? That is the important
question.
It is so easy for us Americans
to indulge in careless buying
that it behooves all of us to pay
attention to what we buy and
where we buy it. We must
make our dollars work for . us
100 per cent, or we are taxing
our incomes constantly.
THE ENTERPRISE and other
good newspapers will help you
in your buying if you will but
study the interesting and in
structive advertising presented
daily.

PROMISES WELL
A most satisfactory rehearsal of the
Wagnerian concert to be given Wed
nesda:" evening in the Congregational
church was held on Monday, and the
several artists who will appear show
ed thorough mastery of their selec
tions. The few who were privileged
to hear the rehearsal report that the
technique was excellent, and that a
treat is In store for music-lovers who
will attend the regular concert.
A feature of the evening's enter
tainment win be an interpretation of
"Parsifal' by Mrs. C. O. Young, a dis
tinguished dramatic reader. Of her
work the Woodlawn Advocate, a Chi
cago paper, says:
"The story of Parsifal, the guide--less
one, condensed by Mrs. Young,
from Oliver Huckel's version of the
original drama. And in the condens
ing it loses none of its spiritual
significance, its sacredness, its weird
tale of temptation, a fall, and the con
sequent losing of grace, to be regain
ed only by alife cf expiation by suf
fering most intense and the return of
grace through the but one person,
and that person be 'a guideless one."
And Parsifal was the guideless one.
"His untiring faith, the awful temp
tations with which he was surround
ed by the power of Klingsor, the evil
one, whose tool was Kundry, over
whom he had awful power; the life
suffering of the good King Amfortas,
who paid dear for his one fall into
sin, but paid with a penitence that
showed the complete submission of
his spirit to the Almighty.
"The whole thing was a lesson so
telling in its sacredness and yet so
human in its story that was more
than merely a thing of entertainment.
It was lesson of morals, and'one that
made every one feel that a glimpse
of the holy of holies had been had."

NEW SIFTS WILL BE PUT DOWN
Experimentation to Be Carried On
Elsewhere Under Terms' Fa
vorable to City Work
to be Resumed -
Members of the special water com
mittee of the city council and Super
intendent Scott, of the well-drilling
forces that have been working on a
test bore at Mt. Pleasant, met Mon
day night and determined to cease
operations at that location. A depth
of 315 feet had been reached without
striking an available supply of water,
and though the committee had author
ity from the council to go to a depth
of over 350 feet, it was decided th?.t
further drilling would be but a waste
of money.
When boring was stopped the
drills had struck a strata of muddy
shale underlying the sand which
marhed the end of the test last week.
While there were indications of wa
ter at a greater depth, it was thought
that it would not ba economical to
lift it to the top of the well, and so
the test was adandoned.
Mr. Scott then made the council a
proposition, which was accepted by
the special committee, and which will
call for the drilling of one or two test
wells at other sites, mainly on his
own responsibility. If water is struck,
the city will foot the bill; if it is
not found, Mr. Scott will stand prac
tically the entire cost of the worlt.
In the future tests an eight-inch well
will be sunk, instead of a six-inch
one, as was done at Mt. Pleasant.
The sites where the tests will be
made are additional ones that Con
sulting Engineer Diek now a mem
ber of the Portland municipal com
mission recommended at the same
time that he suggested trying the
Mount Pleasant site. Both are some
what to the northwest of the place
where the first test was made, though
their present location is being kept
secret until options on the property
are closed.
In justi'-e to Mr. Dieck's judgment,
members of the special committee
stated Monday night that he did not
promise them that water would be
found at the Mt. Pleasant tract. The
council desired to get the outlet of
their well as high, as possible,
so as to get a gravity flow, and Mr.
Olcck declared, after investigation,
that the Mt. Pleasant site was the
best of the elevated ones. That there
is water underneath it was demon
strated in the drilling, but the water
iay at too great a depth to be econ
omically available. If water is found
at the other places where test will be
made, it will be necessary to pump it
to the reservoir at the top of the hill.

From Destruction- By
Sudden Flood
PENDLETON, Or., June 9. (Spe
cial) The breaking of the electrical
current in the O.-W. R. & N's. block,
signal system by the water is all that
saved westbound passenger train No.
9 from going full speed over a
straight drop from the track into t'aa
Grande Ronde river, following a big
cloudburst late Sunday night at Perry,
a sawmill town on the eastern slope
of the Blue Mountains, according to
passengers arriving here today.
The cloudburst occurred a few min
utes before the train reached the
csene. The broken current had
thrown the block up to "danger" and
the engineer stopped the train in the
nick of time.
At 11 o'clock the storm broke,
throwing a solid sheet of water on o
the hill just above the sawmill. The
deluge split, running two ways, one
wall of water going over the railroad
and washing out the track, while the
other torrent swept to- the sawmill.
The fireman saw the wall of water
rushing down upon the structure, and
hastily, threw open the doors of the
mill, permitting the water to pass
through the mill instead of sweeping
it away.
Immediately following the cloud
burst three landslides rapidly succeed
ed eah other in half an hour, tearing
away more track and piling great
masses of rock and debris in the" wake
of the washout.
