GLORIOUS FOURTH TO BE FIT
TINGLY OBSERVED ALL
THROUGH COUNTY
GREAT BARBECUE AT CANEMAH PARK
Gladstone to Hold Re-Union at Park
Militia to Have Sham War
at Clackamas iMany
Other "Doings'
Providing that the weather man be
haves himself, and does not let Jupit
er Pluvius continue his recent activ
ity, Clackamas county is going to
have some Fourth of July this year.
It will have both sane and "insane"
celebrations, and among other things
will have the privilege of hearing and
seeing a sham battle. There will be
lots of oratory, lots of good times, and
plenty of refreshment for those so in
clined. In short the day promises to
be a record breaker if it doesn't rain.
Latest advices from J. Pluv's head
quarters, however were to the effect
that he was filling an extra large
sprinkling pot. But perhaps he will
get it so very full that he .wont be able
to lift it.
Of prime importance to Oregon City
is the big picnic and barbecue given
by the Willamette Pulp & Paper com
pany for its employees at Canemah
park. This promises to be more of a
success than was the similar affair
held last year, which was voted the
best possible. This year's doings will
be better because there will be more
of them. The program includes three
band concerts, innumerable races and
contests for youngsters and grown
up of both sexes, a great feast from
eleven in the morning to two in the
afternoon, abundance of free ice
cream and goodies, plenty of dancing,
two baseball games, a military drill by
members of the Oregon Veteran Fife
ec Drum corps, and as a closing fea
ture a monster display of fireworks at
night.- Valuable, cash prizes will be
offered in all the contests, and aside
from that there will be a drawing for
gale prizes. Everything will be free
for those having tickets, Manager Mc
Bain, of the mills having sent out
. word that nobody's money will be any
'good inside the grounds.
The next big affair in point of local
interest is perhaps the re-union and
good time at Gladstone park, arrang
ed for the special benefit of Glad
stone folk. Friends of Gladstone peo
ple will also be welcome if they hae
tickets and a program of races, ad
dresses, stunts, contests and a mighty
battle of baseball teams has been ar
ranged. In the evening there will be
a bonfire for the teachers attending
the summer school, and throughout
the day there will be music of just the
kind to add to the festivities.
Aside from these two big events
there are numerous other celebrations
arranged in the nearby towns and
communities in the , county. The
Farmers' Society of Equity will hold
a monster picnic at New Era, and "will
be addressed by the Hon. W. S. U Ren.
This gathering promises to be one or
the largest that will be held in the
county providing it doesn't rain too
hard. It it rains just a little the
farmers will turn out just the same,
for they are all of them web-foote-1,
. and don't mind "Oregon mists" in the
least.
Other celebrations will be held at
Molalla, where there is to be an "in
sane Fourth" with plenty of noise,

Oregon City, will deliver the address.

bration will take the form of a gen
eral boost day, and aside from patriot
ic exercises there will be much in evi
dence to reflect the prosperity of the
community.
Judge Grant B. Dimick is to help
the eagle scream at Logan, and will
be a happy spectator of the other
events of the day, which will include
races, a ball game and dancing.. It is
hoped that Judge Dimick will consent
to lead the dancing.

be needed at home during the day,
though a skeleton force will remain
In the city in case of emergency call.
There will also be a celebration at
Estacada, and at other points in the
county ; and at Clackamas the ThirJ
Infantry, assisted by the artillery com
panies of the state militia, will hold
a shAin battle and a picnic. Taken ia
all,- there will be lots doing if it does
not rain. ,

I. W W. FLAG SHOT
FROM SANDY POLE
I. W. W. agitators may attempt to
interfere with the Fourth of July cele
bration at Sandy today, following ac
tions of citizens of that community
early in the week. I. W. W. men em
ployed on telephone work raised one
of their flags in Meining's grove, and
citizens went out and shot it down.
They then formed a procession, head
ed by the band, marched hrough the
streets, bearing aloft the Stars and
Stripes, while the I. W. W. flag was
dragged in the mud at the rear of the
parade. The crowd stopped on Main
street, and while the band was play
ing the stirring notes of "America"
the I. W. W. flag was burned to ashes.
The I. W. W. workmen were very
indignant at the action of the citizens
and threatened to make another flag
and again fly it from the highest point
in the grove, but they were informed
that such action would be followed by
its immediate removal and swift pun
ishment for the perpetrators.

DOCTORS GO TO EUROPE
NEW YORK, July 3. A party of
nearly one hundred American physi
cians and surgeons of prominence
sailed from New York today en route
to London, where they will take part
next month in the seventeenth Inter
national Congress of Medicie. Be
sides New Yorkers the party includes
physicians from Chicago, Philadelphia
Kansas City, San. Francisco, - Pitts
burgh and other cities. Before going
to London the Americans will visit
clinics and hospitals in Paris, Berlin,
Vienna and other of the leading medi
cal centres ou the continent.
MUNICIPAL DAIRY
IS GLADSTONE IDEA
Chief of Police Miller, of Gladstone,
is thinking of starting a municipal
creamery, ana supplying citizens of
that progressive little city wth cream,
milk and butter the latter if the
council will buy him a churn. Since
his induction into office Chief Miller
has studied the ordinances of hl3
home city, and has discovered that it
is against the law to permit stock to
run at large. Many citizens of Glad
stone keep cows, and have in the past
developed a carelessness in regard to I
tethering them, with the result that I
tne new chief has averaged about
three captures a night, every since T.
B. Hayhurst, manager of the Home
phones, put him next to the stunt by
corralling ten bovines in one nigh.t.
The early morning duty of Chief
Miller these days is to go down to
rthe city pound with a nice new milk-
pan and gather the lacteal fluid from
the strays taken in the night before.
The chief modestly refuses say
how many quarts a day the bossies
in the city charge give, but from his
desire to open a municipal creajnery
it is believed the yield is considerable.
And the best part of it is that the
city gets 50 cents per day for pound
charges while the chief gets the milk.
Chief Miller wants it understood
that he only milks the cows out of
kindness and for their own comfort.
SUNDAY PATRIOTIC -SERVICE
Next Sunday will be observed in the
First Methodist Episcopal church as
"Patriotic Sunday." Appropriate ex
exreises will be held in the Sunday
school. The pastor will preach a ser
mon at 11 o'clock on "Shall the Star
of Christian Empire Pass From America?'-
and the people will sing "Mv
Country," our national hymn, and Mc
Kinley's dying hymn, "Nearer My
God."
In the evening at 7:45, the victories
of the Gettysburg and Vicksburg will
be celebrated with the spirit of patri
otism running high. - The officers and
members of the G. A. R., W. R. C.
and of the O. N. G., will attend and
occupy reserved seats in a body, and
take active parts in the services,
which will be in harmony with the
occasion. This, service promises to
be one of the most stirring services
ever held in the ciy. The fife and the
drum, and martial music, the reading
of "Pickett's Charge" and of Lin
coln's Gettysburg speech, now a class
ic throughout the English speaking
world, will heighten the interest, and
stir the souls of men and womeu with
the fires of the love of country. Ev
erybody is invited to attend. r
MRS. DODGE DIES
Mrs. Etha Dodge, who died at her
home at Sixth and J. Q. Adams streets
Wednesday evening, will be buried
from the Congrational church, the
funeral services being -Friday after
noon. Mrs. Dodge, who was 64 years
of age, died of pneumonia after but a
brief illness. She is survived by her
husband and by two daughters.
Emile Ollivier is 88
PARIS, July 3. Emile Ollivier, who
was prime minister to Napoleon III.
when the latter declared war against
Germany in 1870, attained his eighty-
eighth year, today- Ollivier s public
career virtually ended with the Franco-Prussian
war. Since that time,
however, he has accomplished a vast
amount of literary work, including a
stupendous history of France. At the
age of four score and eight he still
finds himself capable of working ten
hours a day.

dates, hours when there will be few
other conflicting attractions. These
lectures are to be given by the domes

usually interesting as well as practi
cal. .

sumer;" 9th, "An Egg and How it
Should be Handled;" 10th, "Beite

"A Stitch in
Time. . . ,
There might be a modern ver
sion of that old adage to the ef
fect that, "A penny spent in time
will often save a dime."
Nowhere is the truth of this re
vised adage more easily demon
strated than in the proper use of
the best newspapers of the day.
If you are planning a trip, if
you wish to go to a theatre, a lec
ture, to church, if you need to buy
practically any article of ordinary
. use, spend your copper for a good
newspaper and turn to the adver
tising columns for the latest in
formation on the subject you
have in mind. - Make a practice of
doing this and you- will find that
you save yourself both time and
trouble and that many a dime
that might have been wasted has
either been saved or spent in such
a way that you have attained the
maximum of value from it. ;
Heedless spending wastes more
money than willful extravagance.
In justice to yourself, you must
keep in touch with what is in the
market. Buy a newspaper and
save your dimes by reading , the
advertisements regularly. -
COMING TO STAR
Councilman Long, who when not en
gaged in matters of municipal import
spends his time bossing the Star the
atre, has engaged as a special attrac
tion for his patrons Miss June Hall,
lyric soprano, who has just completed
a ' four-weeks engagement at the
Circle theatre, Portland. Miss Hall
will sing today, by special request,
"Any Place the Old Flag Flies;" a
selection of patriotic spirit and ex
quisite melody. - ---When
first making her debut on
the concert stage, Miss Hall was con
siderably puzzled as to what name to
use, but after much thought decided
that her own name of June was the
best that could be found. . One of her
early managers wanted her to change
her name each month, calling herself
"June" in June. :"Julya" ... in July,
"Augusta" In August, "Mliy" In May,
"Januaria'"' in January and so forth.
When Miss Hall asked him for ap
propriate names for September, Octo
ber, December, March 'and some- ol
the other months, the' manager gav
It up, and so the sweet singer decided
to stick to June for all the year round.
She says that manager surely had a
great Idea, but that it wasn't quite
great enough to last all around the
calendar. - - - - ' . .-'
VETERANS CHARGE

today the charge of Pickett. -
Across the field of Gettyburg, . up
the slope of Cemetery Ridge, where
death kept step with them in "63, 160
veterans of the Virginia regiments of
that immortal brigade made their
slow parade.
Under the brow of the ridge in the
bloody angle, where the Philadelphia
brigade stood that day, was a hand
ful of Blue, scarcely larger, waiting
to meet the onslane-ht nf Pmra Tiioro
-were no flashing sabers, no guns roar
ing, oniy eyes tnat dimmed fast and
kindly faces behind the stone wall
that marks the angle.
At the end, in place of wounds or
prison or death, were handshakes,
speech and mingling cheers.
ADDED TO DISPLAY
Gooseberries that are one Inch In
diameter and from an inch and a quar
ter to an inch and a half long have
been presented to Manager Freytag,
of the publicity department of the
Commercial r-lub by Fred Achilles, of
Willamette. These magnificent speci
mens of Oregon's abiliy as a berry
producer have been placed in 'display
jars, and will be a part of the Clack
amas county exhibit at forthcoming
land shows. .
M)r. Achilles has also sent in a num
ber of fine stalks of currants, aji
they have also been added to the dis
play. The stalks are about three feet
long, and are hidden with great clus
ters of huge currants.
Some particularly fine Royal Ann
cherries have also been donated to
the county display by Mrs. M. M.
Charman, and are now on exhibition.
FOR CHAUTAUQUA
A combination of all ' the church
choirs of Oregon City, the choirs of
Gladstone, and the Sunnyside Congre
gational choir of Portland, will be one
of the Chautauqua musical features
this year. The local singers will meet
at the Baptist church here Saturday
evening, and the Portland choir is
carrying on rehearsals, preparatory to
the two concerts to be given together
cn the 2 Sundays during Chautauqua
at 5:00 p. m. Prof. J. H. Cowen is
drilling the choirs at both ends of the
line, and some exceptionally fine num
bers will be given. The combination
of choir singers is an unique idea., and
wlli be called the "Chautauqua choral
union." ,
All local singers of all the cnurches
are specially urged to be out Satur
day evening for rehearsal. Probably,
five thousand people will be on the
grounds for the Sunday programs,
and the enlarged choir will play a big
part in making the day attractive
from a musical standpoint.

BROWN INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
EDITOR OF COURIER MUST DE
FEND SELF AGAINST CHARGE
OF CRIMINAL LIBEL -
AnACK OH C9UNTY GUURT R0UNB
Inquisitors Present Many -True Bills
As Further Result of Delibera
tions During Term of
v - . Official Service
M. J. Brown, editor of the Oregon
City Courier, a weekly paper, has
been indicted by the grand jury on a
charge of criminal libel. The indict
ment was returned Wednesday night
by the Clackamas county grand jury.
The particular charge against Brown -is
that he' charged County Judge R.
B. Beatie and Commissioners N. Blair
and W. H. Mattoon with rebating
their own taxes, and that the allega
tion is false.
Brown, who came to Oregon City
about two years ago, made a sensa
tional publication of the Courier, and
has been one of the leaders in the
movement looking toward to recall of
Judge Beatie and Commissioner Blair.
His mis-directed zeal in attempting to
lead the public , to believe that thee
members of the county court are dis
honest has caused him to publish
statements that ran afoul of the libel
statute, and his indictment is the re
sult. . .
About a month ago the Courier pub
lished, in the list of county court pro
ceedings, under the head of "Tax Re
bate." the following lines:
W. H. Mattoon 1. $20.20
N. Blair ................. w 14.30 '
R. B. Beatie..... 4.00
- These disbursements were made by
the county court under the head of
"general roads," and were listed un
der that head in the copy furnished
the Courier by County Clerk Miulvey.
Either wilfully or unintentionally the
three lines were transposed from un
der the head of "general roads" to
"tax rebate." -This might Jiave been
allowed to pass under the excuse of a
typographical error, had not Brown,
in the Cournier of June. 26, reprinted
the notice on the first, page of hi3 pa
per, with the following comment:
"The above rebates are to the
three members ' of the county
court, audited by themselves.''
This was conceived by the grand
jury to be a plain intimation that the
members of the court had been dis
honest to the extent of rebating th.r
own taxes.
Wash Smith and Louis Himler have
been indicted charged with exploding
dynamite or giant powder in the
Clackamas river on June 26.
H. H. Hughes was indicted for lar
ceny of a conveyer chain and three
lumber trucks, valued at $84; from
Shannon Bros.. The offense is said
to have been cbmmitteed June 15.
The grand jury returned indict
ments against Clarence Miller and C.
W. Carothers, charging Miller with
permitting gambling in, a house in
which he was In possession of on
April 15. Carothers is charged with
having given false testimony before
the grand jury in the Clarence Miller
case. Miller was formerly road su
pervisor in the Needy district.
A not true bill' has been returned lu
the case of W. S. Smith, who was ex amined
on a statutory charge. . Smith
is employed at the Eighth street dock.
