SCORES IN RECITAL
(Contributed)
The Shively opera house was wlII
filled Wednesday evening with a rep
resentative audience assembled for
the double purpose of hearing one of
the great contraltos of this country to
their own Inexpressable (felight, and
to pay tribute to a young woman ot
Oregon whose splendid abilities as a
singer, and achievements as an artist,
finder' the inspiration of the goddt-33
of music, have won for her the laur il3
of praise from the greatest musicians
of this country and of Europe, 3fiss
Mary Adele Case, of whom Oregon
City is justly proud.
MCss Case is remembered by many
of our people as a girl who, in her
earlier years, exhibited remarkable
gifts as she sang with some of our lo
cal singers, always charming with her
sweet voice, showing rare interprets
tlve power, a high degree of inspira
tion, and withal a worthy ambitio.i,
and an unconquorable determination
to overcome all obstacles and v. in her
way to just fame.
She has studied in Paris and in New
York under the most famous masters.
Her personality possesses much of in
dividuality and ease and carries her
triumphantly through a difficult pro
gramme, under circumstances more
than ordinarily trying. She possesses
a voice of extraordinary range, un
usual quality, dramatic power, highly
cultivated and under perfect control,
awakens and holds attention and
arouses enthusiasm and applause.
Miss Case has the genius of in er
pretation, a breadth of control, a clear
ness of ennunciation and a finish that
places her antong Vie first recitai
singers of the concert stage. She. is
great now, and she will continue to
ascend until she stands on the high
prinacle of world fame.
Miss Sadye Evelyn Ford was the ac
companist and performed hor task
with such evident pleasure, ease and
efficiency as to receive the commen
dation of the artist for whom she
played. Harold Swafford, Oscar
Woodfin and Chas. Legler were the
ushers.
Miss Mabel Morse and Miss Ivy
Ford were the flower girls, and acted
with a grace and charm tecomh-g the
pleasant duties they performed, liie
audience was in fine spirit, receptive
and responsive, and genarous in its
appreciation of the work of the crust.

Sir Charles Tupper is 92
LONDON, July 2. Receiving con
gratulations from distinguished
friends on both sides of the Atlantic,
Sir Charles Tupper, former premier of
Canada, today observed his ninety
second birthday anniversary, sur
rounded by members of his family. Sir
Charles returned to England this
spring after a visit of a year with his
son in Vancouver. In view of his ad
vanced age it is doubtful if he will
ever be able to pay another visit to
Nthe country where he was so many
..years a leader in public affairs.
- Progressive Conference.
NEWPORT, R. I., July 2. The so
called summer capital today became

conference which promises to be the
most notable gathering of the party
leaders since the Chicago convention
last fall. Colonel Roosevelt is on

easiness, in one way or another, evei
since the purchase of the plant had
been endorsed by a special commit
tee; and the balance of the council al
most fell over themselves seconding
the motion made by Mr. Tooze.
Ordinances calling for the establish
ment of a grade on High street, be
tween First and Third, and for the im
provement of Seventh street, will b?
placed on final passage July 16. Bias
for the improvement of Fourth street
and for certain improvements on the
Fourth and Seventh street parks wer
referred to the park and street com
mittees, to report upon next Wednes
day, Councilman Meyers, of the fi
nance committee in the meantime
holding the certified cheques accom
panying the bids.
This having cleaned the council cal
endar, Mrs. Nugent, a property owner
upon Monroe, street, addressed the
council, objecting to the use of second
hand boards in a sidewalk in front of
her holdings, and saying that she had
been promised a cement walk. Coun
cilman Tooze moved that she be
granted a cement walk. City Engi
neer Noble said that the fill in front
of her property had not settled suffi
eiently to support a cement walk. Mrs.
Noble came back promptly with the
ramark that the fill had been in place
two years, and that the city had been
hauling loads over it sufficienty to
roll it down, and added that if the
city engineer would stop having it dug
up for one thing or another, maybe it
would settle.
Counci'mBn Holman then tried to
pour oil -upon the fast troubling sur
face of the meeting by asking Mrs.
Nugent if she would be satisfied if
the council would agree to put down
a cement sidewalk as soon as the city
engineer thought the fill could bear
it. MI'S. Nugent replied that the
agreement would have to be put in
writing, as she had all the experience
she cared to have with the council's
promises. Mr. Holman then moved
that the city lay a new board side
walk in" front of the property until
such time as a cement sidewalk could
be laid, or that a cement sidewalk ba
laid now and Mrs. Nugent be held re
sponsible for keeping it . in, repair.
Councilman Tooze, who already had
a motion before the council, prompt
ly bobbed up and said he wanted that
idea embodied in his motion.
Then followed a chorus, in which
City Engineer Noble, the council and
Mrs. Nugent took part, and after the
noise died down, Councilman Albright
brought order out of chaos by movins
that the council lay a board sidewalk
in front of the property until such
time as the city engineer sanctioned
a cement one, when the full improve
ment would be put in. This being
entered upon the council records, Mrs.
Nugent said she was satisfied.
SUSAP GOES AWAY
AT CITY'S EXPENSE
"Susap," so called because that was
as near as he could come to pronounc
ing his Christian name of Joseph in
his infancy, has once again departed
from Oregon City, which he says is
his everlasting home. Susap is an In'
dian brave of note in this section,
formerly a baseball star, and other
wise known to fame. He recently
went on a visit to some of his Yakima
tribe relatives at Goldendaje, Wn., and
last Sunday, after his return, was
found behind a saloon with a well de
veloped case of smallpox.
The saloon was fumigated, though
everybody concerned says Susap was
no nearer to it than the alley, and
Susap was sent by benzine-buggy to
isolation hospital, Portland. Oregon
City is standing one-third of the cost
of his transportation thence, and' the
saloon behind which he developed
smallpox is standing the other two
thirds. This is being done just out of
good-will for Susap, the saloon propri
etors want it understood.

OLD BATTLESHIP
TO BURN AS J
EASTPORT, .Me., July 2. East-
port s fourth of July celebration will
be usered in tomorrow night with the
burning of the famous old Frigate Wa
bash, once the pride of the United
States navy. The Wabash is one of
the last survivors among the old
"wooden-wall" fighting ships. Her
days of usefulness ended nearly half
a century ago. For a number of years
she was tied up at the Boston navy
j yard, where she attracted almost a3
mucn attention irom the visitors as
the historic Constitution, which is al
so on view there.
Recently' the navy department de
cided that there was no longer room
for the Wabash at the navy yard, so
she was sold to a -firm of junk deal
ers. The purchasers had the old ship
towed here from Boston. She has been
beached and will be burned for the
metal in her hull. Assistant Secre
tary of the Navy Franklin D. Roose
velt has accepted an invitation to be
the guest of the city at the Fourth of
July celebration and It Is expected he
will be on hand when the;, torch is ap
plied to the famous old warship. ;

What the Parisienne
Is Wearing Now.
iStn
SIMPLE GOWN OF WHITE SATIN.
In Paris they are wearing fetching
costumes like the one pictured. The
skirt, looped up at the front, is gath
ered in about the ankles, and the loose
bodice and weighted sash at the front
emphasize the oriental effect ' This
gown is of white satin, and the but
toned strap slippers are of gray suede.
Having Too Many Things.
Many nervous, irritable, dissatisfied,
unhappy women would become calm
and contented If they would store, give
or throw away half of. their belongings.
Some have abandoned elegant resi
dences and taken their families Into
hotels or boarding houses who could
have continued to keep up their homes
if, instead of giving up the houses
themselves, they had done away with
the superfluous furnishings.
' Some one, often the mistress her
self, must clean and care for every ar
ticle of furnishing, no matter how
humble its use or how ornamental its
function, and this round of duties
proves many times to be a grievous
burden on delicate shoulders.
There Is such a thing possible as
having too many utensils and tools to
work with, so that taking out, replac
ing and keeping them clean and in or
der add to the daily labor; too much
furniture in a room, so that walking
through it seems a perilous attempt to
steer a course without disaster; too
many 'garments to wear, for time Is
consumed in caring for them and even
in choosing what to put on. Suburban

Cure For Nerves.
As a rule, salt meat is not adapted to
the requirements of the nervous, as
nutritious juices go Into the brine to
a good extent. Fish of all kinds Is
good for them. Raw eggs, contrary to
the common opinion, are not as digesti
ble as those that have been weir cook
ed Good bread, sweet butter and lean
meat are the best food for the nerves.
Those troubled with insomnia and
nervous starting from sleep and sen
sations of falling can often be enred
by limiting themselves to a diet of
milk alone for a time. An adult should
take a pint at a meal and take four
meals daily. Those with weakened
nerves require frequently a larger
quantity of water than those whose
nerves and brains are strong. It aids
the digestion of food by making It
soluble and seems to have a direct ton
ic effect
New Baggage Laws.
Women who are traveling this sum
mer should remember the new bag
gage rules that went into effect on
June 1. It is no longer a question of
weight, but of size, where the trunk
is concerned. Forty-five inches is the
regulation size of trunk, and every
thing over that is in excess, and noth
ing over seventy-two inches In length,
breadth and ln'- 't will be accepted.
The measuring ili-ks that are used
are self computing, five pounds being
charged for each inch of excess bag
gage measurement.
About Stamps.
Do not lick stamps. The best way
is to moisten the envelope and not the
stamp. When stamps stick together do
not soak them apart, but lay them on
a smooth surface with a thin paper
over them and pass a hot iron quickly
over them. This separates them with
out destroying the gum.
How to Freshen Panama Hats.
-Get 15 cents' worth of oxalic acid.
Dissolve in mie quart of water. Use
an old toothbrush, if you hove-one, or
liuy one that is. used for scrubbing
celery. Rinse thoroughly and dry in
the sun. Work rapidly and be care
ful not to alter the shape. It will not
be necessary to reblock the hats.
LEARN TO LIVE.
It is by the real that we exist It
is by the ideal that we live. Would'
you realize the difference) Ani
mals exist; man lives. To Eve is
to understand. To live is to smile '
at the present It is to be able to
see over the wall of the future. To
. live is to have justice, truth, reason,
devotion, probity, sincerity. To
live is to know what one can do .
and should do. Life is conscience.

OUR LOGGED-OFF LAND PROBLEM
. The logged-oft or cut-over lands of
Western Oregon and Western Wash
ington are possibly the greatest of all
hindrances to the development of tho
two states, and any step towards put
ting these lands into the possession
of settlers, and thus getting this large
area of unproductive soil into a state
of production, is a great stride for
ward. It must-first be understood
that these lands are generally com
posed of the best soil in our states. It
is soil upon twenty to forty acres of
which an intelligent, frugal and in
dustrious husbandman could not only
make a good living for himself and
family, but could accumulate in a
very short term of years a compe.
tency.
Just how to get these lands cleared
at a reasonable cost has taxed the in
genuity of some of the clearest think
ers in the states named. Char-pitting,
the use of powder, the donkey-engine
stump-puller some headway has beer,
made in each direction, but not
enough to induce incoming settlers,
or our own land-hungry population, to
take active possession and go to mak
ing homes upon them.
There has just gone into effect in
Washington a law framed for the pur
pose of testing a new method, the es
sence o fwhich was given in these col
umns a few days ago. In effect it Js
an adaptation of the irrigation and
drainage district systems in use in
some of the arid sections of the West.
These districts, to be former primarily
for the purpose of reclaiming logged
off lands, are in a measure in charge
of the County Commissioners, who ars
authorized to create such districts and
then call an election to choose three
Agricultural Development Commis
sioners and at the same time author
ize the issuance of twenty-year bonds
up to 5 per cent of the assessed val
uation of all the lands in the district.
These commissioners will have the
power to purchase or otherwise ac
quire -any -undeveloped agricultural
lands within their district for the pur
pose of improving and fitting them for
productive use at a price not to ex
ceed $20 an acre for logged-off lands
and $25 for arid lands, but no lands
shall be cleared when the estimate
exceeds $100 per acre.
There are several rather ambiguous
clauses in the draft of the law as we
have seen it, but the feature that ap
peals to us as of great value is this:
any settler wishing to have his land
cleared, up to twenty acres, may Jo
it himself and collect pay for .it and
then have twenty years to repay the
money." Or he may pay the amount
after three years, and may assign his
land, subject to the lien, after two
years.

An Englishman visiting this
country recently commented on
the advanced development of our
advertising. He said that one
might get a liberal education in a
remarkably short space of time by
an intimate study of the advertis- '
ing in first-class newspapers.
That may have been expressing
it ratuer strongly perhaps as a
result of -his enthusiasm but it
must be apparent to every
thoughtful reader that newspaper
advertising as it is conducted
nowadays possesses an unusual
educational value.
We are quite sure that our
cousin from over the sea might
come here a total stranger and,
by diligent attention to the adver
tising appearing daily in this
and other good newspapers, soon
be very well informed as to the
customs and the fashions, where

WATER FLOWING

that was encountered at the 50-foot
level. The committee now has plans
under way for an exhaustive bacter
iological test of this water, and such
tests will be made after we are satis
fied that the flow will be what is now
indicated.
"In regard to the possibility of this
being river water that has seeped
through the ground, the commit: ee
has had measurements taken. The
engineer reports that the test well is
located 1,800 fet from the Willamette,
approximately half a mile from the
Clackamas, and nearly 1,000 feet from
Abernethy creek. The level of tb-ss
land at the well is 17 feet above high
water level in the river and 32 feet
above low water level. The fact that
the water in the well rises to within
12 feet of the surface, does away, I
believe, with the theory that the sup
ply is the river, when these figure?
are taken into consideration.
"The committee is also working on
the possibility of obtaining Bull Run
water for a city supply, and is con
tinuing its investigaton of the fran
chise offered by promoters who have
wells at Canby. When the commit
ttee has sifted all these matterj,to
the bottom, and has had a report on
the purity of the water on the Engle
brect tract, all these possible sources
of supply, together with a statement
of comparative costs, will be laid be
fore the voters, and they will be" ask
ed to decide which water they want
