Acting on the theory that "inside"
alien knowledge would be interesting
to coast Chatauqua patrons in these
days of strained American-Oriental
" relations, just, as "inside" baseball
or "inside" politics interests fans and
ward bosses the Chatauqua manage
ment this year has selected Mr. N.
Poon Chew, a Chinese editor-statesman!
of California, to bring an alien
"message" to the assembly.
Mr. Ng. Poon Chew, editor the
"Chung Sai Yat Po." That is Mr.
Poon Chew's official business title,
but aside from editing the largest
Chinese daily paper in America, he
occupies a high place among the
Chinece statesmen of today. His life
work is for the enlightenment of his
Chinese brothers, and in his master
ly address "Modern China," which he
will deliver on the afternoon of July
' 11th, he tells of the lark ages through
which his native land has passed,
the slow awakening to civilization,
and finally the creation of the New
Republic, which bids fair to place
China among the foremost nations of
the world.
He tells of the struggles endured in
bringing intellectual enlightenment
to his Mongolian brothers, and pleads,
in purest English, for a national rec
ognition of the new China.
Mr. Ng. Poon Chew is a deep
scholar, and recognized as an advanc
ed thinker of the present day. The
lecture field is not now to him in any
sense, and he coraes to Gladstone
with the highest recommendations as
to his depth of thought, earnestness of
plea, and eloquence. His views of
the recent alien agitation in Calif
ornia are awaited with much interest.

RAIL LI PLAN?
If the Union Pacific suceeds in its
plan to dissolve the Harriman merger
by trading $38,000,t)00 worth . of its
Southern Pacific holdings to the
Pennsylvania railroad for $42,000,000
of Baltimore & Ohio stock the ambi
tion of the great financiers to effect
a transcontinental rail line extending
from the Atlantic to the Pacific will
have been realized.
Such a line .while it might not be
under one direct operating head,
would have a common control of
stock, and would extend from Port
land on the west to Jersey City and
New York City on the east.
Although the Union Pacific officals
deny that their plan of adding to
their present holdings of Baltimore
& Ohio stock is for the purpose of se
curing control of a line between Chi
cago and the Atlantic seaboard, the
fact remains that possession of this
stock will be a controlling factor in
influencing the movement of traflic
east of .Chicago. The Union Pacific's
present control of the O.-W. R. & N.
company is forced only through stock
ownership.
The new line, if completed, would
consist of the O-.-W. R. & N., the
Union Pacific through Denver to the
Missouri river, the Illinois Central to
Chicago, and the B. & O. from Chi
cago through to Philadelphia or New
York terminals.

"COUNTY FAIR" GAY
WITH SONG AND FUN
An exceptionally clever musical
comedy, sparkling with local humor
and presented with practically pro
fessional excsPence, was given at
Shively's hall Tuesday evening, when
well known Oregon City people, under
the direction of Annie Sara Bock ap
peared in "The Clackamas County
Fair." The play was replete with
prettily costumed choruses, with
clever and graceful dancing, and with
fetching costumes; and the work of
I the principals in the cast brought
! forth enthusiastic applaus3 from the
large audience that- gathered. The
proceeds of the performance, and r.t
the second presentation of the com
edy Wednesday night, will be davoted
to the work of the Episcopal church.
There. were many good features of
the production, perhaps the most
notable being the closing ensemble of
the See-saw chorus, in which special
electrical effects, installed by the
Miller-Parker company, added a touch
of beauty and realism to the setting
that called for encore after encore.
Other special features were the cow
boy dance, in which a. number of cow
boys and cow maidens danced and
pirouetted in true range style; the col
lege chorus, and the "Fluffy Ruffles"
number, that had a haunting sugges
tion about it of the Florodora hits.
Twenty of Oregon City's prettiest
girls and handsome youths took part
in this, did some particularly com
mendale work. The tramp chorus, in
which as realistics a bunch of raga
muffins took part as could be found,
and the pretty "Moon" song chorus,
with its 50 little girls, also brought
down the house; while the barn dance
given by a group of two score young
sters was one of the most acceptable
numbers of all.
The plot of the play dealt with a
day at the average county fair, and j
gave excellent opportunity for clever
work on the part of the principals.
Boss James and Professor Sporatti,
portrayed by Carl Joehnke and Chas.
Wilson, enlivened things considerably
and were true to the types found in
olden-day district gatherings. Morti
mer Latourette, as the lemonade man
who kept on adding coloring matter
and water to his stock in trads, was
a scream ; Julius Spagle, as the Wheel
of Fortune operator proved a seduc
tive producer of coin.
Katherine Sinnott and Harold Swaf
ford, as the country, bride and groom
spending their honeymoon at the fair
"eceived much applause, while the
courtship between the "widow" with
her chicks and the "widower" with
his, was a genuine hit. The oth-sr
parts were all adequately taken, and
much clever character work was done
Aj by the amateurs. - The "town boys"
" j and the "college girls" always had a
clever stunt to pull off at the right
moment, whie the visitors to the fair
from Boston added much to the merri
ment of the show:
The production was well mounted,
some of the scenery being remarkably
realistic and recalled to. many in the
audience the days of long gone - by,
when1 country fairs-were the events
of the year. Particular attention had
been paid to dttails; and as is rare i.:
amateur productions, . the prompter
had little to do during the perform
ance, so well had the company, been
rehearsed. ,

CTIC CRUISE T
POLAR LAN
Determined to find the supposed
Arctic continent, and to claim it in
the name of Great Britain, so that it
may be added to Canada's domains,
the Stefansson expedition has start
ed on the preliminary stage of its
voyage ia the far north. The la3t
sacks of coal were" piled upon the
deck of the Karluk at Victoria, B. C,
Tuesday, and the staunch craft that
will carry the explorers into the land
of ice and snow is all ready to start.
Dr. Vilhjalmar Stefansson, who will
be in charge of the expedition, will
join the party at Nome, going there
with his wife on one of the regular
steamers. From Nome he will jour
ney on the Karluk, and will probably
be absent at least three years.
The object of the expedition, the
cost of which is entirtly defrayed by
the Canadian government, is not to
find the pole, but to ascertain, if pos
sible, the existence of a large body of
land within the arctic circle, which,
many scientists believe, "surrounds or
includes the region of the pole itself.
If conditions permit, the expedition
will make as thorough an exploration
as possible of the unknown continent
and take possesion of it in the name
of Canada. To do this work thorough
ly, five noted scientists, each one an
expert iii his particular line, will ac
company the expedition. The list in
cludes J. J. O'Neill, a mining expert
and geologist, who will incidentally
explore the copper deposits on Vic
toria Island; George Malloch, an ex
pert geologist who will try to ascer
tain the presence pf coal deposits;
James Murray of Glasgow, the noted
oceanographer and biologist, who had
accompanied Lieut. Shackleton's Ant
arctic expediton, and Dr. R. M. Ander
son, who will devote himself especial
ly to the study pf the blond Eskimos,
discovered by Stefansson on a previ
ous expedition.
Although two other expeditions
with similar objects in view, the Am
undsen expedition' under the Danish
flag, and the McMillan expedition un
der the American flag, are preparnig
to start for. the far north to find the
"unknown continent," there will be
no race between the three expeditions
only friendly rivalry. As the three
expeditions are taking different
routes, many hundreds of miles apart,
they will in no way interfere with
one another and may not even come
in contact with each other.
The steam, whaler Karluk, which,
fully equipped and prepared for its
polar voyage, will be under the. com
mand of Capt. Robert Bartlett, an ex
perienced polar traveler, who was
captain of Admiral Peary's ship on
his last voyage.
From Nome the Karluk will sail for
Point Barrow, the most northerly
point on the continent, where the ex
pedition will await the arrival of the
other ship, now being equipped for
talcing part part in the voyage. It is
expseted that the two ships will meet
at Point Barrow a'bout August 1.
The subsequent plans depend entirelj
upon meteorological conditions. If an
easterly wind should prevail, the ex
pedition will be able to sail around
the point without delay. But, if the
wind should be from the west, it is
likely that the ice would be packed so
tight that the two ships would have
to wait until January of next year ba
f ore being able to start on thtir ex
ploring tour.
OIL NOW SOUGHT.
UPON GULF COAST
NEW ORLEANS, La., June 17.
With oil wells now well under way at
three points on the Gulf coast eact of
the Mississippi an interesting devel
opment in the extension of petroleum
territory is a possibility. That there
is a great parent pool of oil under the
Gulf of Mexico, from which tributar
ies extend into the mainland is a
theory accepted by many. Graat
gushers have been found around the
perimeter of the Gulf from Tabasco
to Terrebonne parish, Louisiana, but
from the Mississippi river eastward
to Florida and south - to the . Keys
there has been no important find .if
oil.
- Owing to the importance of the de:
velopment of the oil fields in Mexico,
Texas and Louisiana, prospecting east
of the river has been neglected. Some
drilling has been done in Mississippi
but it has been in the hands of inex
perienced operators.
Another inducement to stimulate
the interest in attempting to get at
this great store of wealth, thought to
be locked up under the American
Mediterranean, is the increasing price
of oil and the desirability of getting
the supply as near the seaboard as
possible in view of the increasing use
of the fluid as a marine fuel.

PORTLAND HIGHWAY
SOON TO BE OILED
Oiling the main East Side county
road from Oregon City to the Multno
mah county line is what the Live
Wires . of the Commercial club have
set out to do, and a committee, of
which Don E. Meldrum is the head,
will at once proceed to devise ways
and means to accomplish the desired
result. The city of Gladstone,- just
north of Oregon City, is preparing to
oil the main highway that runs
through its limits skirting the Cha
tauqua grounds, and several public
spirited citizens of Portland and Ore
gon City h! ve already made donations
to- a fund ..aat the Live Wire commit
tee will raise to defray the cost of its
work.
Subscriptions will be requested
from owners of automobiles and oth
ers who use this road, and with a lit
tle minor repair the highway will be
in practically as good "r condition
through Clackamas county as it now
is north of the Clackamas line. Farm
ers living along the route -will be
asked to cooperate, in the movement,
and every owner of a motor car ia
Oregon City , will be solicited to sub
scribe liberally to the fund. -
