WATER FLOWING WITH STEADY VOLUME ANCHOR PUZZLE
According to Councilman Took:,
chairman or tne special, water commit
tee of the city council, the outlook for
a satisfactory and adequate supply of
water from well on the Englebrect
tract, northeast of the city limits, is
most excellent. Wednesday Mir. Tooze
reported as follows:
"Indications are that we will be able
to develop a flow of 500 agllons of
water per minute from wells on the
Englebrect property. I believe that
this is good water, as it comes from
a deep vein of water-bearing gravel

That the anchor recently recovered
from the bed of the Willamette river
was probably ' either from the ship
Convoy or the brig Owyhee, both of
which are known to have anchored
close to the spot in the river in 1829,
is the opinion of Mrs. Eva Dye, his
torian and writer of note, who has
been investigating records of early
river shipping in an effort to fix the
identified of the relic. In regard to the!
matter, Mrs. Dye Wednesday sait:
"I have probably solved the problem
of the anchor recently dredged from
the s3.nds here at the river bend. In
1S29 the brig Owyhee, Captain Dua
inis, and the brig Convoy, Captain
Thompson, both American ships irom
Boston entered the Columbia and com
menced trading with the Indians for
skins and peltries. In nine moiu'is
Captain Dominis secured a cargo val
ued at $96,000. Both captains ven
tured up the Willamette. Oregon his
tories mention that the Convoy was
attacked, but in Honolulu I obtained
the following:
" 'Captain Dominis moored at the
rapids about a mile below the falib in
12 feet of water in 1829. Oartain
Dominis says: 'I was daily assuiled
with the reports that the Indiana in
tened atdtacking me when my vessel
was lying at the falls of Willamette
rapids.'
- "The principal chief of the Wiilam
ettes told Dr. McLoughlin he was go
ing to cut off Dominis, but the doctor
forbade it. The Indians were taught
that no vessel but the company's ships
were allowed to trade in the river.
"This Captain Dominis settled in
Honolulu, and brought his Boston
wife there. In 1846 the Captain was
lost while on a voyage to China to
obtain furniture for the magnificient
new home he was building, now
known as Washington Palace, the
home of Queen Liliuokalani. The son
of Dominis married the Princess Lil
iuokalani and was governor of Oahu
when she was queen.
"If 'Convoy' is not found upon the
anchor, 'Owyhee' may be, as Captain
Dominis distinctly states that he was
anchored at that place. The two ships
kept together for safety, and were
both anchored at Clackamas Rapids."

"Cancel all coast engagements
at once; best animals have died
from heat "PAMAHASIKA."'
An eleventh hour change in the
Chautauqua program has been neces
sitated by a telegram from Mr. Pam
ahasika, at Keosauqua, Iowa, cancel
ling his engagement. Mr. Pamahasika
and his pets ran into the intense heat
wave of the MUddle West last week,
with the result that several of his
best performing animals have died.
This unfortunate news is regrstted by
the management more than any one
else, as it had looked forward in pre
senting Pamahasika for a most eu
joyable evening, especially, for the lit
tle folks. The telegram was received
Wednesday afternoon, and Secretary
Cross immediately tried to secure a
substitute from among the other Ore
gon Chautauquas, but found all book
ings complete, and -was unable to se
cure any attraction to replace Pam
ahasika. This unavoidable cancellation has
necessitated a change in the program
of the opening day, "and the Ladies'
Concert Band of Portland came brave
ly to the rescue. The ladies will give
their opening concert in the morning
at 10:30, while folks are completing
their camp arrangements, and erect
ing their tents. In the main auditor
ium the summer classes will be 01
ganized and . announcements of in
structors will be made.
Then at 2:30 the official opening of
Chautauqua will take place, thus giv
ing the large crowd of Oregon City
folks who could not attend the morn
ing program, a chance to witness the
opening of the 1913 Chautauqua. Dr.
T. B. Ford will deliver the invocation,
and the address of the afternoon will
then be given by Dr. Fletcher Homan
president of Willamette University,
and also president of the Chautauqua.
Dr. Homan is a delightful speaker and
one of the best know men in the state.
This will be followed by a responsive
address by Hon. C. B. Moores of Port
land. Mr. Moores, too, has a delight
ful way of driving his conclusions
home, and is quite popular with Chau
tauqua audiences.
Then will come the mighty contest
for the baseball supremacy of Oregon
City. Promptly at . 3: 30 Al Price's
Giants and B. T. McBain's Commer
cial Club Hopefuls will open the Chau-
tauaua series, and Oregon City Will
turn out en masse to sea the struggle.
At 7:30 will come another big con
cert by the Ladies' Concert Band, .as
a prelude to the first appearance of
the Sierra Quarteete, who will nil tne
eevning engagement cancelled bv
Pamahasika. This, the directors, feel
will be the best solution of an irritat
ing breach of contract, for which no
one can be blamed, unless it be the
weather man who has been punishing
the Easterners during the past two
weeks.

COUNCIL SESSION IS BUSY ONE
After Its recent rather stormy ses
sions the city council held a love
feast Wednesday evening, and moved
with surprising accord through a long
list of routine matters, nothing coin
ing up to ruffle its passive surface un
til near the close, when the request
from a property owner .for a concrete
sidewalk threatened for a moment to
raise a ruction. This was quickly
railroaded out of harm's way, how
ever, and the session closed in the
same sort of calm as that in which it
opened.
Permission was granted to William
Dutcher to operate a saloon iii the
rear of the proposed Weinhard build
ing as an opening move. This being
granted, Councilman Tooze rose to
ask whether or not horse-traders who
came into the city to rid themselves of
steeds should be calssed as intinerant
merchants. Messrs. Tooze, Albright
and Holman were appointed a special
committee to look into this matter
and prepare an ordinance if they
thought it necessary.
City Engineer Noble submitted a
proposed grade for Harrison street,
between Ninth and Twelfth, and it
was placed on file. The police and
health committee reported all barns
in the city save that of the Pioneer
company, to be in good shape, and
patted itself on the bck for passing
the barn ordinance which had been
slated for repeal at this session. No
body emitted a peep about rescinding
the measure.
Cataract Hose Company No. 2, ex
tended a formal invitation to the may
or and city city council to be present
at a banquet next week, and the invi
tation was accepted unanimously and
with thanks. '
Came next the passing of ordin
ances. The first one up, relating to
the employment of minors in cigar
sajids adjacent to saloons, was re
ferred to Councilmen Tooze, Albright
and Metzner for revision, after it was
shown that it would work a hardship
upon a blind man. Discussion of this
measure almost brought on conflict
between Messrs. Tooze and Alibght.
over the relative disadvantages of
having minors hear saloon language
and having them listen to Socialist
orators on the street, but the appoint
ment of the committee quieted mat
ters down.
The ordinance maKing It a misde
meanor to buy liquor for a habitual
drunkard was passed unanimously, as
were ordinances establishing the
grade on Davision, between Ninth and
Sixteenth streets and one changing
the grade of Center street, between
Ninth and Tenth.
The ordinance providing for the
purchase of the Jones rock crushing
plant and its conversion into a muni
cipal plant so that the price of street
material might be regulated, brought
Councilman Tooze to his feet with a
jer'.;. He stated that the last delivery
of a certain amount of rock from this
plnt had just been made, and that he
had to that time no opportunity of
looking into the cost of the work, and
such other details as lie thought the
council ought to know about, and ask
ed that final consideration of this or
dinance be postponed one week. Thi3
mattor is one of those things that has
caused the council considerable un-

GlTTVSBURG HIT
BY FIERCE GALE
GETTYSBURG, Pa., July 2. A roar
ing storm swept down out of the Blue
Ridge over the pleateau of Gettysburg
today, bringing needed relief to thou
sands of veterans in blue and gray,
who have sweltered for four days in
an atmosphere that would do credit to
a fireless cooker, dangerous in a city
of 50,000 old and weary men.
Kor more than half an hour rain
came pouring down on the sun-cracked
and windswept encampment
ground. It charged with violent thun
daring over the ground that Pickett
covered in '63. -
Its salvos of thunder were like the
booming guns of Meade and Lee, and
the thermometer dropped rapidly.
Lightning cleared the air of its bur
den of humidity. .
