- Oregon City and 'Clackamas county
people in number sufficiently larg3
to move than comfortably fill the aud
itorium of the structure gahered Sat
urday night in the new Carnegie li
brary building in the park block lo
witness the formal opening of t'ie
most complete and modern institu
tion of its kind in the Northwest.
Though the weather was far from the
lest, there was a steady stream of
-visitors to the new building through
out the day, and on all sides exclam
ations of praise and amazement were
heard.
J. E. Hedges, of the library board
presided at the formal exercises of
the opening, and introduced Miss Mar
vin, state librarian-from Salem. In a
happy address she outlined the pro
gress of library methods, and pointed
out that the general perfection of the
system generally followed in the Unit
ed States had been adopted by all
nations in the world. She explained
in details the working of the libraries
in the Northwest, told of their affili
ations, and outlined the companion
ship brought about by the interchange
of classical books, enabling all the
people in a community to make the
acquaintance, through their writing,
of the great men of the world.
Miss Northey, librarian at Hood
River, told of the progress of the
work in the fruit district, and of the
organization of the county service
there. Miss Haile, of Gresham, in
her remarks, showed the value of the
extension work of the big city librar
ies, demonstrating how the branch of
the Portland library maintained- in
Gresham was a benefit to the subur
ban and rural patrons.
Fine music, which was much appre
ciated as a part of the program, was
rendered by Mrs. DesLarzes, and an
encore was vociferously demanded
A piano solo by Miss Grace, and sink
ing by Oscar WoodfiiT'also aided in
making the evening enjoyable for all
who were fortunate enough to be
present.
M--. Hedges, in his remarks, alluded
to the work being done by the state
college and . state university, and
pointed out the opportunities afford
ed by. their courses. He also touched
upon the aid that a library would be
to students of these institutions while
they were at their homes here. B. T.
McGain reviewed the history of the
local - library, neatly thanked the
ladies of the city for their generosity
in providing the comfortable furnish
. ings, and outlined the hopes of the li-'
brary board for the future develop
ment of the institution, including the
plan for a reading room to be .main
tained 'in the business section of the
city as soon as funds for its upkeep
could be procured. Miss Price -. also
gave a short talk upon library work.

FILTRATION PLANT TROUBLE'S SEAT
Provision for Eight-hour Shift-Brings
Complications, as Men ,Must
Stay On Duty. Sunday
and Week Days -
Water rates in Oregon City may be
advanced in the near future because
of the eight-hour law for municipal
employees passed by the last session
of the state legislature. J. E. Hedges,
chairman of the board of water com
missioners, has taken the matter up
with the attorney general, but sees
no way out of the difficulty unless
authority is given Oregon City to
make an exception of the provisions
The trouble lies with the filtration
plant, where it is necessary to keep
a man constantly employed. Here
tofore there have been two men at
work there, one on a 12-hour day shift,
working for $75 per month, and an
other working on a 12-hour night shift
for $70 per month. Under the new
law city employees outside of police
and firemen, are permitted only to
work eight hours a day for six days
in the week, a total of 48 hours. Ow
ing to the fact that it is necessary for
men to be at the filtration plant on
Sunday, the working of three shifts
would not help the city any, as that,
would require each man to work 58
hours. The only way the problem
can be solved, it appears, is to' work
four shifts, and then the men would
work but 42 hours a week each.
Employment of four shifts would
practically double the present ex
penses at the filtration plant, and
would call for an extra outlay of ap
proximately $1,600 a year additional
to the sum now paid. With water be
ing furnished consumers at rock-bottom
rates now, it is extremely doubt
ful if this extra cost could be met
with the present incoine of the depart
ment. Naturally the only way to
meet it would be to increase the
rates.
SECOND TEST WELL
IS DOWN 76 FEET
Drilling on the Englebrect tract
northeast of the city limits, under vii
rection .of the special water commit
tee, has reached a depth of about 76
feet. For this distance the second
test well has been sunk and encased
with eight-inch pipe. No available
supply of water has been reached as
yet, but Chairman Tooze, of the com
mittee, declares that the outlook is
promising.
The drill first bored its way through
eight feet of earth. - Sixteen feet of
sand was then struck, after which the
diamond-point cut its way through 26
feet of water-bearing gravel. The
water in this stratum, was of consider
able volume, and forced its way to
within 12 feet of the surface. Drilling
then encountered hard blue clay, and
the shaft has at present gone through
26 feet of this. It is believed that un
der this clay water will be found. '
While the drilling is going on the
committee in charge of the search for
a pure water supply is also working
on the franchise sought by the Lee
interests, of Canby.

CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAM
WILL APPEAL TO WOMEN
Were it not rather undignified, one
might quote the old refrain "everyday
is ladies' day" at Gladstone Chau
tauqua. Never before in the twenty
years of Chautauqua- history of this
pioneer institution, has so broad a
program been arranged, and with the
desire uppermost in mind, to please,
interest, and instruct the women. Last
year along with many other, features
for the women the "suffrage" spirit
permeated the Chautauqua atmos
phere, and old Gladstone park be
came a bloodless battlefield for the
cause of the workers. Realizing that
the suffrage activity will be in the
back-ground in 1913, the management I
has arranged a program that will be
most entertaining and instructive for
the newly enfranchised women of
Oregon.
There are so many exclusive wom
en features of the 1913 session that it
is difficult to select the more import
ant ones. To begin with, the work
of Miss Grace Lamkin, of Chicago, IU.
is to be a distinct and novel feature.
Miss Lamkin will demonstrate "Su
pervise Play" for the children, and at
the, same time will indirectly briug
about supervised relief to the moth
ers. Miss Lamkin makes a personal
charge of all the children above 7
years, and acting on the theory that
the misdirected energy of boys and
girls is the cause of . restlessness and
later troubles of a serious character,
she teaches them organized play or
play with a purpose.
The announcement that Mrs. Fran
ces Carter, of New York, will head the
Chautauqua elocution department has
brought about much interest among
Portland club women, and the Shake
speare clubs of Portland will maintain
headquarters on the grounds through
out the session. Mrs. Carter is a
dramatic reader of rare ability and
stands in the unique position as the
only woman in the country who has
assayed to .play the role of Shylock.
W. C. T. U. headquarters on the
grounds this year will be the center
of unusual activity among Portland
and Oregon City W. C. T. XJ. women.
Tuesday, July 15, has been set aside
for W .C. T. U. day and the address
of the afternoon will be .made by Col
onel Gain, the Kentucky orator, "Our
Country, Our Homes and Our People."'
The American Women's Republic will
predominate at the evening assembly
of the same- day, and E. G. Lewis, uf
"University City," Mo., will be the
speaker.
Dr. W. B. Hinson, pastor of the
Portland White Temple, is toN deliver
a series of masterly addresses each
day of the assembly,' and Is to iave
charge of the Chautauqua Bible
school.
Another part on the big twelve-day
program that will be of particular in
terest to the women is that to be of
fered by Maude Willis, a reproducer
of great plays. Walter Brown's "Ev
erywoman," and Charles Klein's
"Third Degree" are to be presented.
Dr. James H. Gilbert, Ph. D., pro
fessor of economics at the University
of Oregon, is to give a series of dally
morning lectures on "Problems of
Large Scale Production.''' Just as in
teresting will be the series of daily
talks on practical agriculture, soil
fertility, poultry raising, and domestic
science by the leading experts from
the Oregon Agricultural college.
Glancing at the musical program,
the women will "toot their own
horns," literally ' speaking, for the
management has secured the Ladies'
Band, of Portland, to furnish daily
concerts at the assembly. In addition
many other musical . features will
prove most attractive, notably the
opening program to be given by the
Sierra Quartette, the concert of the
Tyrolean Alpine Singers, and th
daily prelude numbers to be rendered
by leading vocalists of Portland.
Among the other attractions will be
the lectures of B. R. Baumgardt, the
scientist-globe-trotter; Frederich Vin
Ing Fisher, on the Panama Canal; Mr.
Ng.' Poon Chew, the Chinese states
man on "Modern China;" Walt Hol
comb in his famous masterpiece, "The
Horse Race," and Dr. Matt S. Hughes

Nation -Wide
Newspaper
Publicity
From Maine to California,
from the Canadian northwest to
sunny Florida, every morning,
every evening, every day, the
news of the world is told In the
newspapers which dot the land
from ocean to ocean.
It is almost impossible to con
ceive the tremendous power of
informing the public which is
thus combined in these daily
purveyors of the world's news.
In no way dissociated from
this great national force for
spreading news is an equally
strong force for disseminating
advertising information.
Those manufacturers who
want to create a widespread de
mand, and who want a larger
distribution for their products
recognize the influence of the
newspaper and tell their story
constantly in a dozen, a hundred
or a thousand cities and towns
simultaneously.
Makers of nationally sold
goods are realizing more and
more every day that the daily
newspaper offers a more econ
omical and more efficient means
of creating, actual demand than
any other advertising medium.
WASHING
i
E
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. T., June 20
(Special) The University of Was v
ington's eight-oared crew won a place
in the great varsity classic over the
Hudson course today, and though not
gaining the big laurels, nevertheless
established the right to the Norta-
west to be counted upon in future
contests. The Washington boys fin
ished a close second to the much
vaunted Cornell crew picked as the
winners but both the Westerners
and Cornell went down before the
phenomenal rowing of Syracuse Uni
versity, which broke the record time
for the course.
The race finished in the following
order: Syracuse, Cornell, .Washing
ton, Wisconsin, Columbia and Penn
sylvania.
The work of boh Washington and
Wisconsin was a surprise to the
sharps, and at the close of the con
test the greatest of praise was show
ered upon tne Puget Sound crew.
That Washington gave Cornell all she
wanted to do to keep ahead was gen
erally admitted, and her victory over
Columbia and Pennsylvania is con
sidered as proof of the excellent con
dition of her oarsmen.
JUNE STOCK JOURNAL
IS VALUABLE NUMBER
Of particular merit is the June
number of the Western Stock Journal,
Not only is the magazine filled with,
interesting articles relating to stock
raising and the perfecting of special
lines of farm and market animals, but
there are as well a number of special
articles of more than ,usual timeli
ness. One of these deals with the
children's school fair -a new depart
ure in state activity. Mb.ny illustra
tions add to the attractiveness of the
publication, while between its covers
will be found a mass of practical in
formation which will be well worth
study by all stock-raisers.

JUSTICE SIEVERS UPSETS SCHEME
Henry Meldrum Unwittingly Reveals
Intentions and Complications
. Follow Rapidly as News
is Spread
Belief of Justice Sievers that his of
fice was hardly the place ?e which to
hold a political meeting, when so
many other quarters could be secur
ed, Saturday evening put a temporary
stumbling block m the way of plans
for a recall of the mayor and certain
members of the city council. Ar
rangements had been made to quietly
hold a preliminary gathering of those
behind the movement in the justice
courtrooms, and to frame a ticket
which should be put in the field lo
run against the present occupants of
the offices, and also to arrange other
details all of which were to be
sprung in their entirely upon an un
suspecting citizenship at a general
mass meeting - to be called in the
near future.
The best laid plans sometimes go
wrong, however, and in this case the
mere personal opinion of Judge
Seivers as to the suitability of his of
fice for the birthplace of such an idea,
delivered at a few minutes before six,
upset for the time being the latest of
Clackamas county recall movements.
After rendering his opinion in the
matter, and instructing Constable
Jack Frost not to unlock his office
for such a gathering, the judge went
his way homeward, not knowing what
far-reaching effects his ideas of pro
priety were to have. The hour was
too late to reach those concerned, and
as a result there was no meeting as
planned, though some of the "recall
ers" did get together and talk things
over informally.
Probably the latest of recalls would
have been well under way had it not
been for the fact that Henry Meldrum
"let the cat out of the bag" earlier in
the day. Very shortly the street-corner
gossips had it, and within an hour
it was the chief topic of conversation
throughout the city. Saturday night
there was intense interest in the pro
posed recall, and citizens seeking en
lightenment invaded every meeting
that they knew of to find the gather
ing that had the matter in hand. Some
of them even got into the sheriff s of
fice, thinking that perhaps special
deputies on thejook-out for socialists
might know something of the affair.
Plans as. so far known call for the
circulation of recall petitions for
Mayor Linn E. Jones, and for Council
man Tooze, Albright, Meyer, Horton,
Beard and Holman. Councilman Long
and Metzler are not to be included,
it is said. The recall is to be based
upon alleged inactivities in office, up
on the council's failure to rush the'
installation of a fire alarm system, up
on the apparent intention of the city
fathers to build an elevator at Sev
enth street which may cost more than
the bond issue appropriation, and for
most of the things that they have
done.
Councilmen expressed considerab'.e
interest in the proceedings Saturday
evening, and nearly all of them said
they could put their fingers upon the
"parties responsible for it." Mayor
Jones seemed inclined to treat the
matter lightly. Others hinted ' at
deep and dark politics in the move.
Inability to get together, as they
had planned, however, rather muddled
the preparations of the prime movers
in the scheme, and it was said late
Saturday night that the next move of
those opposing the city administra
tion would be made in the open,
and that there would be no lack of
a meeting place, where all citizens
might gather to hear details of the
recall.
"TOOTHACHE" FILM
TO BE SHOWN HERE
"A Toothache," a moving picture
film purchased by the Oregon State
Board of Dental Examiners, will be
shown at the Star theatre, in this city,
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
as an educational message upon the
care of the teeth. The film was or
iginated in Cleveland, Ohio, where It
was ordered at the request of the
board of education. Its success in the
East was so great that the Oregon
dental board acquired it for exhibition
in this state. The film is . being
shown as a part of the campaign for
greater use of the toothbrush, and for
increased care of the teeth of all
ages. .
Comedy pervades the film, the first
picture showing the father of a family
of three stricken with toothache at
the breakfast table. Later pictures
show the little daughter attending
school, where a dentist examines the
teeth of the pupils and makes out a
chart for every mouth he examines.
The dentist then goes to a blackboard
and gives an illustrated lecture. This
is followed by pictures of children be
ing drilled by a nurse in the proper
use of tooth-brushes.
In closing, the film shows the lit
tle daughter of the family explaining
to her toothache-stricken father that
failure to use a toothbrush properly
was responsible for his affliction. The
girl then marches her parent to a den
tist,, the aching tooth receives atten
tion, and father buys a toothbrush
for every member of his family.
Toothbrush drill by papa, mamma and
the children brings the film to a
close. , ;

MUCH EXTRA EXPENSE REQUIRED
Eight Municipalities in County Effect
ed By Statute if Interpretation
is Correct Ruling
is Requested
Citizens of all incorporated muni
cipalities in Clackamas county,, wuh
the exception of Milwaukie, will prob
ably have to register ..twice this year;
and city recorders will have to keep
their offices open from eight . until
five daily to permit such registration,
if the general interpretation placed
upon the registration law passed at
the last session of the legislature is
correct. - This law, as it is generally
construed, provides that when tlie
limits of the voting precincts in anv
municipality do not coincide with the
county voting precincts, special regis
glS- i
ms.
the
tration must be had for city elections.
l his law also provides that
same regulations for registrations
must be followed in cities as in coun
ty cases, and this will mean that city
recorders will have to maintain all
day office hours, and keep a separate
set of registration books both of
which requirements will add consider
ably to city .expenses.
Outside of Milwaukie, where the
voting precincts for the city and coun
ty coincide, the law will effect Ore
gon City, Willamette, Oswego, Glad
stone, Canby, Barlow and Sandy. The
change in municipal precincts is made
mandatory by the law that .requires
that no city precinct shall have mort
than 300 voters.
Under this construction of the law
City Recorder Leisman, of Willam
ette, will open city registration books
for the forthcoming special election
to be held on the matter of extending
the city limits. The same law will
apply in Oregon City if any special
city election is called in regard to the
elevator matter, or in relation to the
proposed change in water systems.
City Recorder Seivers, of Gladstone,
where a special city election may Tje
called, has written to the Attorney
General for a ruling, o nthe construc
tion of the new statute. ,
This new "kink" discovered in the
registration law further complicates
a matter already involved enough.
County officials have found that they
cannot comply with the law in regard
to redisricting precincts as provided
before the next county election, and
have been wondering what to do for
the fall balloting.
