GLADSTONE GETS
IL
WILLAMETTE PULP & PAPER CO.
DONATES ISLAND IN RIVER '
TO MUNICIPALITY
COMMERCIAL CLUB SECURES DEED
Bridge Will Connect New Area With
Present Recreation and Picnic
Grounds Already Prop
erty of City
. Through the efforts of the Glad
sotne Commercial club and the gener
osity of B. T. McBain, manager of
the Willamette Pulp & Paper mills,
the city of Gladstone has acquired 24
acres of additional public park area.
Deads were received by the city
Thursday donating to Gladstone an is
land in the Clackamas river, former
ly the property of the paper company,
for park purposes.
The island, which is densely wood
ed, and which consists of much high
land above the record flood levels,
lies but a few feet from the northern
bank of the stream, and thus adjoins
the long strip of park area which
some time ago was donated to the city
by .the Cross interests. Gladstone
has made much of its river park in
the past, and has found it a great at
traction, both to its own residents,
and to visitors from "other points.
The addition of the island to the
miincipial property will greatly add to
the attractiveness of the present park,
and will make possible several much
needed improvements. A bridge will
be erected connecting the island with
the mainland recreation area, and
paths and trails will be cut so. that
ready access may be had to all parts
of the newly acquired land. Every ef
fort will inje made in this work to pre
serve the present natural beauty of
the island, and when the improvement
is compelted, Gladstone will have one
of the finest parks in the Northwest.
From the island portion of the park
it will be possible not only to enjoy
some of the most picturesque river
scenery and views in the country, but
there will also be afforded excellent
fishing for those who are expert at
casting a line. The river on either
side of the island is deep and clear,
and. for many years has been a favor
ite place for anglers. 'While the cur
rent is rather swift for boating, in
low water there is considerable of
this sport done; and it is possible
that a boathouse will be one of the at
tractions of the new playground for
Gladstone people.

Summer Comfort for
the Stay-at-Homes
The first warm days . bring
disappointments to many of us
who cannot join the general
summer exodus from town, but
who, for one reason or another,
must stay in our houses or
apartments during the warm
months.
We can't all go to the moun
tains or seashore, but, by a care
ful and judicious expenditure,
-every woman can make a sum
mer atmosphere in her own
home if she chooses.
Rugs, heavy curtains, and
draperies can be put carefully
away, and in their place can be
substituted a whole new set of
things at a surprisingly low cost
There is an infinite number of
fibre rugs in the market it fit
any size space;, there are dainty
fresh, cotton curtain . materials
in charming designs; and as
for cretonnes and furniture
coverings, their beauty and var
iety are bewildering.
Just read carefully through,
the housefurnishing advertise
ments in THE ENTERPRISE
and calculate for yourself how
little these summer comforts
would actually cost.
PARK
FOURTH STREET
FAIR LIFT SITE
GREAT MAJORITY OF CITIZENS
WOULD FIND ELEVATOR -A
CONVENIENCE
NOffl SET FORTH AS FACTOR
No Subway Construction or Passage
Over Private Land Required
at Lower End of City,
Says Moffatt
Among the bids for the public ele
vator, to carry passengers up the face
of the bluff, from the business to the
residence sections of the city, sub
mitted at Wednesday night's council
meeting was one from the Oregon
Engineering & Construction company,
proposing to construct such a device
at Fourth street for approximately
$11,000. While the original plans,
adopted by the special elevator com
mittee, called for an elevator at
Seventh street, the low figure of the
Fourth street bid, and certain argu
ments in favor of it, will probably
cause the committee to give it care
ful consideration. ,
In favor of the Fourth street loca
tion of the elevator it is pointed out
that the city already has there a sub
way under the Southern Pacific
tracks, which would do away with the
necessity and possible legal difficulty
of building a tunnel under the rail
road right-of-way, as would have to
be done at Seventh street. There is
also available space to the east of
the tracks at Fourth street for the
erection of the elevator tower. In ad
dition to this, Mr. Moffatt, of the Ore
gon Engineering company, has point
ed out several other advantages of
the Fourth street site. Speaking t-f
these things, he said:
"With all due respect to the gentle
men who selected the Seventh street
site as the most available, it seems
to me that as the elevator is designed
for the public service it should be
placed where it will serve the great
est number of people. Down at the
Oregon Woolen mills they employ
from 300 to 350 people, at the Hawley
mill there are employed every work
ing day some 300 men, at the Crown
mill there is a force of 75 on duty ev
ery day, and the laundry, bairns,
foundry and water works probably
employ a hundred or so more people.
This makes a total of . approximately
900 people who work every day near
Fourth street, and most of whom live
on the bluff at the southern end of
the city. These people climb up and
down stairs every day on their way
to and from work, and would find the
elevator a great boon.
"There are more people living to
the south of Seventh stret on the hill
than there are on the north, and io
accomodate them the logical place for
the elevator should be between
Seventh street and the mills, where
the great mass of daily travelers from
the lower level of the town to the up
per are employed. If the elevator is
built at Seventh' street, all these peo
ple, the chief users of the device, will
have to walk from three to seven
blocks to the lift and as
far back to get to their homes. These
people will use the elevator every
day in the year, and their comfort and
convenience, it seems to me, ought to
be considered.
"The mills where these people are
employed pay in the neighborhood of
$2,000 in taxes to the city, and they
should also have some consideration
in the matter of placing the elevator.
If the structure is erected at the
Fourth street site it will have both
top and bottom on city property, and
no expense will be required further
than the building and operating of it.
On the other hand if it is erected at
Seventh street, the upper landing will
have to be reached over private prop
erty, and probably the city and the
taxpayers will have to pay for the
right across this land.
. "I believe that if the elevator were
erected at Fourth street the mill em
ployees would be willing to pay, say,
one cent a ride. This money would
be sufficient to pay the interest on
the bonds, or to pay for the operative
expenses of the device, or could be
set aside in a fund, and later utilized
for the construction of a second ele
vator or an inclined railway in the
northern section of the city. But the
main fact that strikes me is that the
great mas of people who will use this
elevator every day the great body of
citizens whom it should serve either
live or are employed in the southern
end of the city; and therefore it is
their convenience which should be
considered by the council. Added to
this, the Fourth street site offers ad
vantages of plenty of room on city
property, and the present existence of
a subway under the tracks."

Bids for the construction of a coun

Milwaukie on the county road, have
been received, and the contract has
been awarded to John Heft. The
bridge will be an improvement upon
the Oatfield road, and will make this
thoroughfare much more efficient as

this great intellectual treat.
Walt Holcomb is a second Sam
Jones, labored side by side with him
in all his later campaigns, and surely
causht his spirit. Holcomb possesses
an unquenchable ambition to make
things better in" this old world. With
a delivery impassioned and dramatic,
and with a real message for his fel
low beings, he is the vehicle of true
southern oratory at its best.. Without
doubt Walt Holcomb will be one of
the -most powerful speakers at the
coming assembly which opens July 8.
' The Horse Race" has made Holcomb
a favorite in Chautauqua work. This
lecture is different from any other lec
ture known and therein lies its
strength. Wherever Mr. Holcomb has
appeared the press has been particu
larly commendatory of this great ef

BRITISH HORSE SHOW
READY FOR VISITORS
LONDON, June 19: Under royal
patronage, and with a list of prizes
and an array of entries never equal ?d
at any previous exhibition of its kind
given in London, the seventh Inter
national Horse Show was opened at
the Olympia this afternoon and will
be continued until July 1. The decor
ations of the big exhibition hall were
so tasteful and goregous as to evoke
exclamations of surprise and admira
tion from all the visitors. The main
feature consisted of thousands and
thousands of red roses clustered on
gilded trellis work. The cost of the
decorations exceeded $50,000.
The show this year is of a more
truly international character than
ever before. No fewer than fifteen
countries are represented. Both the
United Stats and Canada are well rep
resented. Judge Moore, always the
strongest American competitor, has a
greater string than usual. Other Am
erican exhibitors include E. T. Stotes
bury, Edward B. MfcLean, Alfred G.
Vanderbilt and J. Sumner Draper. The
most prominent of the Canadian com
petitors are the Siftons and the Hon.
Adam Beck. Miss Mona Dunn, the
twelve-year-old Canadian girl, who
has attracted attention at previous ex
hibitions, is on hand as usual.

YALE IS PICKED

HARVARD CREW WEAKEST SENT

TORY OF RIVALRY
SONS OF til HAVE NEW STROKE
Blue Colors Expected to Rise to Vic
tory After Season of (Many
Misfortunes On Waters
of New England
NEW LONDON, Conn., June 19.
The annual varsity race between the
crews of Yale and Harvard will take
place on the Thamts river here to
morrow. The big event will be pre
ceded as usual by the varsity four
oarded race and the freshmen eight
oared race. The four-oared race will
be rowed upstream at 9:15 o'clock i i
the morning, over the lower two "miles
of the course. As soon as possible af
ter the finish of that race the fresh
men eights will row upstream over
the upper two miles of the cource.
The big race of the day will be start
ed at about 3:30 o'clock in the after
noon at the Harvard quarters and
will be rowed over the four-mile
course downstream, finishing at the
railroad bridge.
It is one of the traditions of Yale
Harvard rowing that the crew which
shows the better form two weeks be
fore the race will. win. Basing their
judgment largely on this tradition, the
majority of the critics predict a vic
tory for the Blues in the big race to
morrow. The Yale crew has made a
distinctly better showing in its prac
tice work. This is the first season
since Harvard began her winning
streak in 1906 that Yale has been
the favorite. But the fact that the
Crimson crew has come to the
Thames this year with a record of
defeat by both Princeton and Cornell
earlier in the season has served to al
most entirely reverse the. conditions
that have prevailed on the eve of the
Yale-Harvard races of late years.
If Yale does win tomorrow it will
be one of the most remarkable
achievement's in rowing history. Al
ter a season of defeats and a thor
oughly demoralized condition in
Yale's rowing system, to adopt a new
and radically different stroke and.
produce a winning crew the very first
year would seem to be an absolute
impossibility. The difference oe
tween the English stroke which Yale
is rowing this year, and the American
ized English stroke such as has been
taught by nearly all of the profession
al coaches is very marked. But it
is believed that any disadvantages re
sulting from the change of stroke will
be more than offset by the facts that
the Yale crew is largely composed of
veterans, and that their opponents
seemingly are the weakest crew that
Harvard has sent to New London in
years.
Some additional interest is given
the race this year by the fact that it
is in the nature of a "rubber." Since
the annual classic had its inception o:i
Lake Winnipiseogee, sixty-one years
ago, Yale and Harvard have each been
credited with twenty-thre victories,
the duels being fought out on the or
iginal course, hen at Worcester, New
Haven, Springfield and finally on the
Thames at New London. There have
been . many interruptions since the
first struggle in 1852, so that the re
gatta this year is the fory-seventh
meeting of the two oldest American
universities in what many graduates
regard as the American sportiag
classic.
TOUR STRAWBERRIES
TO BOX IS
Hood River has recently boasted of
the size of its strawberries, but the
Oregon "Eden" has nothing on Clack
amas county, for Thursday Publicity
Manager Freytag, of the Commercial
club, received three boxes of the
blushing summer fruit that contained
in all an even dozen monster berries.
Four strawberries to a box is some
record, Mr. Freytag believes, and he
has already taken the superb speci
ments and placed them in preserving
solution, to be exhibited as an ex
ample of. what Oregon can can pro
duce in the fruit line.
Aside from.- these berries, some of
which measured over half a foot in
circumference, and which were grown
on the ranch of C. W. Swallow, at
Maple Lane, Mr. Freytag has received
for exhibition purposes a number of
berries of the "Hood River size,'' and
one single strawberry plant that more
than comfortably fills one of the larg
est jars in the exhibition case. Tnis
giant plant has over 100 berries upon
it, and is a striking example of the
fertility of Clackamas county soil.
Mr. Freytag is anxious to receive
samples of "prize" and ordinary fruit
grown on Clackamas county" ranches
and farms, so that the exhibit of the
Commercial club may be kept up-to-date,
and fresh. The best of the
fruit received will be sent to the var
ious land shows in the Northwest and
to Chicago, where it will do much to
persuade settlers to come to Clack
amas county for productive land.
Aside from the strawberries, an ex
cellent display of cherries was
brought to the publicity department
of the Commercial club this week by
G. W. Waldron, and they will also be
put in the exhibit as an example of
the excellence of early fruit grown ?n
the county. -v

ROSEBURG, Ore., June 19. Ray
Diamond, the youthful bank robber,
for whom the officers of the entira
Northwest are on the lookout, late
yesterday was forced to display des
perado tactics for the first time since
his eventful escape from Glendale
early Monday with nearly $3000 be
longing to the Glendale State Bank.
According to a traveler who arrived
at Glendale from Tyee Bar, on Whis
ky Creek, this afternoon, Diamond
yesterday stopped at the Looney min
ing camp and engaged in a conversa
tion with the employes. The traveler
said the miners had been previously
warned to watch-for Diamond, and as
a result they attempted to detaia
him until the officers could be n.i
fied. As on Tuesday, when he stopped at
the Benton mines, Diamond was arm
ed with his rifle, which he carried
cocked and ready for action. When
the Looney's men attempted to detain
the desperado, the traveler said Dia
mond displayed a defiant attitude and
remarked that he had the "drop" on
them. This declaration satisfied tha
mine employes that Diamond meant
business and he was allowed to pro
ceed on his journey.
A telephone message received by
Sheriff Quine this afternoon from,
points on Rogue river was to the ef
fect that Diamond was sighted by a
forest ranger at a point about 12
miles west of the Benton mines, was
proceeding along the rugged " moun
tain trail in the direction of Gold
Beach.
