PREPARATIONS FOR FAIR ARE
BEING iMADE ON LARGER
SCALE THIS YEAR.

Feature of Exposition Auto
Stage Will Make Reg
gular Trips.
Because southbound trains between
Oregon City and Canby, where the
Clackamas County fair is to be held
September 24 to 27 inclusive, do not
operata at convenient intervals, ar
rangements have been completed for
an auto stage service between the
county seat and the fair grounds, so
that residents of the northern end of
the county can travel comfortably to
the big. annual display of county pro
ducts and resources.
Auto stages ana touring cars, oper
ated by the Miller-Parker company of
this city, will leave the county seat at
frequent intervals direct for the fair
grounds.
Plans Are Bigger.
Plans thus far completed for this
year's fair make it evident that the
1913 display will excell all others in
every way. The prize and premium
list has been greatly increased, and
aside from the small fortune offer
ed as cash prizes, many useful house
hold articles and agricultural imple
ments are included among the prizes.
In addition to this both the Hill and
Harriman railroads are offering spe
cial cups of gold and silver for dis
plays of grains, vegetables and stock
raised in the county.
Road Racing Card.
An excellent racing card lias been
arranged, and some of the fastest
horses of the northwest will be en
tered in the stock competitions. There
will be a host of other entertainment
features as well, Judge Grant B. Dim
ick, chairman of the board of fair di
rectors desiring to provide events that
will attract every class of visitors,
so that the resources of Clackamas
county will be well advertised.
PLANS FOR WINTER
The parent-teachers' association of
Canemah will meet at 2 o'clock Fri
day at the school house to plan for
the work of the winter mouths.
The asociation has been a power
ful factor in the improvement of the
relation between the teachers and the
parents of the children of the school
and has done a great deal of valuable
work in bettering conditions at that
jrticular school district.
HOVE HEADQUARTERS
. Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 2. One of
;consiaerea ana actea upon at tne an
nual convention of the United Shoe
Workers of America, which began its
sessions in this city today, is a pro
posal to move the national headquar
ters from Lynn, Mass., to Brooklyn.
Lynn has been the headquarters of
the organization for many years, but
the national officers and members of
the executive board are understood to
favor the proposed removal to Brook
lyn.
Litigation before the Massachusetts
courts resulting from strikes and oth
er troubles with manufacturers are
behind the suggestion. For the last
six years there have been injunction
suits and other legal battles which
have cost the union an immense sum.
The officials believe that with the
transfer of the headquarters many of
these troubles can be averted.
Zionists of World Hold Congress.
. Vienna. Sept. 2. The international
congress of Zionists, with delegates
present from practically every part of
tne world, opened here today with
appropriate ceremonies. The Zionists
of the United States alone are repre
sented by more than fifty delegates,
The congress is expected to be one
of the most importnt ever held, ow
ing to the unrest in the far east and
the changes maed by the Balkan wars
and also by the fact that the Turkish
government is offering for sale large
tracts of land in and about Palestine.
8. P. AGENT LEAVES;
IT BE
C. L. Howe, freight and ticket agent
lor the Southern Pacific has been
strangely missing from his office since
a week ago last Saturday night and
special agents for the company are
making a search for him.
A few days following Howe's disap
pearance, W. P. Harrison, traveling
auditor for the company, checked over
his accounts. Although the traveling
auditor's reports will be forwarded to
San "Francisco, it is unofficially re
ported to Southern Pacific officials
that Howe has been found short in
his accounts in an amount variously
estimated and rumored to be as high
as $700.
Famous Horses Under the Hammer
New York, Sept 2. Many noted
breeders and owners of fast horses
came to town today to attend the dis
persal sale of the entire Castleton
stud of the late James R. Keene. The
sale Is regarded as one of the most
important of its kind ever conducted
In this country. Among the horses
to go under the hammer are some of
1 the greatest sires the American turf
has ever known. Heading the list are
the two famous race horses, Colin
and Peter Pan, son sof the great Com-

bers of congress. The delegation is
headed by Representative Bartholdt of
Missouri, who is a former president
of the Interparliamentary union.

egation are Representatives Stevens
of Minnesota and Representative Clay-
den of Texas. The Canadian Parlia
ment is represented at the meeting
by Senator Raoul Dandurand and Her
bert R. Ames, member of the house
of commons.
The present state of unrest in many
parts of the world, the recent war in
the Balkans and the strained relations
between the United States and Mex
ico, combine to give added importance
to the gathering of the" world's law-
makers who advocate peaceful arbi- j
tration as the panacea of all interna-;
tionai ins. Tne American aeiegations
will present to the conference Secre
tary of State Bryan's proposal for an
armistice between would-be beliger-
ents and will urge its adoption by the
union.
Founded in 1887.
The Interparliamentary union was
founded in 1887 by Sir Randal Cremer,
of the British House of Commons. The
aim of the founders was to bring about
international agreements for legisla
tion action by the various governments
on arbitration, the promotion of com
mercial relations, granting of equal
rights to all nations and their citizens,
and the enjoyment of common privi
leges by all.
The membership of the union is
confined to. actual members of the na
tional legislative bodies of the world.
Enrol'ed in its membership are more
than 2,000 members of the parliamen
tary bodies of Great Britain, Germany,
France, Russia, Austria-Hurgary, Den
mark, Belgium, Holland, Greece Nor
way, Roumania, Portugal, Switzerland,
Sweden, Servia, Turkey, Japan and
the United States.
The organization 'has the support
of all the leading nations, and main
tains a permanent bureau in the Hague
To meet the expenses appropriations
are made annually by the national leg
islatures The union is absolutely
non-partisan. It does not concern it
self with the internal affairs of any
country. It imposes no obligation up
on its members except adherence to
the principal of arbitration as a means
of settling international controversies,

Peru's Ancient City Was on the Plan
of the Roman Camp.
. The ancient city of Cuzc-o, when first
viewed by European eyes. was. according-to
the best authorities, a great and
wealthy- municipality of perhaps 200.
000 souls. How old it was at that time
we have scant uieuus of knowing.
Garcilasso would have us believe that
there were only thirteen Incas In the
royal family line from Mauco Capac
to Huayna Capac. Montesinos. on the
other hand, assures us that the Incas
ruled a thousand years: Which are we
to believe? No written history of the
race exists only the records of the
juipus. those queer knotted strings
which were the lueas" sole documeuts
and for which no archaeologist has as
yet discovered the key, the. Rosetta
stone.
Cu.co's original plan was, singularly
enough, that of the Roman camp, a
quadrangle divided by two intersecting
streets Jnto quarters, with a gate on
each face and towers at the angles. ;
, The Incas. like the citizens of the
United States, had no more definite
name for their i-ountry than Tavan
tinsiiya.' the Empire of the Four Prov
inces. The four streets of the capital,
prolonged by great roads, divided it
into four inniu provinces, each under
the dominion of its governor. When
their people came to Cnzco they lodged
lu their own quarter, where they ad-
1 hered to their national costumes and
the customs of their own province.
The city today retains the same
general plan, its two principal streets
being virtually the old main thorough
fares. . Its twb eastern quarters lie

Checkered Career of the Wonderful
Parisian Cathedral,
Some account of the history and
"vicissitudes of Notre Dame appears in
the- London Strand Magazine. - The
first cathedral was erected in the year
528 by Childebert and afterward de
molished, the same site being used for
the present building, .which was begun
in 1103 and finished in 1331.
Alexander III. laid the foundation
stone, the first mass being celebrated
by the'patriarch Heraclius. The grand
old bflilding has been sorely beset by
many dangers and has witnessed many
strauge and stirring scenes.
The reign of terror in 1793 led to
such disgraceful orgies within the pre
cincts of the cathedral that It was
closed to the public as a place of di
vine worship in 1794. but was reopen
ed in 1S02 by Napoleon. The interior
has suffered severely at times at the
hauds of the mob and individuals
The worst offender was perhaps Louis
XIV., who. carrying out his father's
vow, caused the destruction of the
fourteenth century stalls, the high al
tar embellished with gold and silver
statuettes, the cloisters, tombs and
unique staiued glasswork. In 1845
restoration was necessary in many
parts of the building, the work being
successfully undertaken by Lassus.
Viollet le Due and Boes'willwald.
In 1S71, also during the commune,
Notre Dame was menaced with grave
dangers owing to the fury of the
communists, who, having effected an-
entrance, collected all the available
chairs and other combustible material
and. piling them in a bonfire, drench
ed with oil in the center of the choir,
attempted to destroy the cathedral
by fire. The evil designs of the in
cendiaries were, however, happily
frustrated by the arrival of the na
tional guard.
Misters Are Second Class.
Though one cannot decide what Is a
lady by rule of thumb, there are cer-"
tain kindred problems that can be
solved in that way, and the railway
company knows how to solve them.
Are you, for instance, an esquire or
only a plain mister? The railway com
pany can tell at once. If you hold a
second class season ticket any letter
comes addressed to Mr. Blank, but If
you rise to a first class you become
at once A. Blank. Esq. That is where
the railway has the pull over the mo
torbus. on which there are no classes.

Battle of Nations Monument
To Be Dedicated In October
Photo by American Press Association.
NE of the greatest monuments in the world Is shortly to be dedicated.
It is too big to be unveiled. Thirteen years ago the German Patriotic
league started hundreds of men at work on the Battle of the Nations
monument at Leipzig. It Is now just finished and will be dedicated in
October. One hundred years ago Austrians, Prussians, Russians and Swedes
fought against the French in one of the bloody battlesjof history. The picture
shows the monument practically completed, but with the great network of
scaffolding still in place, like some giant office building iron framework.

DUST FROM TAR ROADS KILLS
TREES ON HISTORIC DRIVEWAY
French Scientist Finds That Bitumen
Pavement Is to Be Preferred.
Unless the present system of tarring
the roadways iu the avenues of the
Bois, Paris. France, is promptly dis
continued there will soon be no trees
left at all. according to an announce
ment recently -made. , -,
It is officially stated that since the
roadway hiis been tarred to minimize
the dust the number of dead trees
which have had to be replaced by new
oues has multiplied by four. Moreover,
the young trees which have been plant
ed are unable to nourish, owing to the
poisoning of the soil, and r;vpidiy per
ish. .
Although a grant of SCOOU was re
ceiitly made by parliament for the
planting of new trees in the Avenue
du Bois, Le Forestier has0t yet
touched the money, asserting that un
til some new method is introduced suc-h
an expenditure would be throwing thp
money into the gutter.
Conditions are the same throughout
the more frequented roads, which are
treated with pitch, and there is a strong
feeling on the purt of the public that
no time should be lost in radically
changing the present method and in
suring that no further damage shall be
done to the vegetation of the historic
park.
Iu support of his agitation Le Forest-
j ier points out that a commission,-ap-
pointed some time ago to inquire into
I the matter, has already reported that'
j not only are air the ornamental plants
: and flowers seriously affected by the tar
! dust strewn on them from the wheels
of passing vehicles, but also that their
leaves first show" spots resembling
burns and then drop off.
- Among the trees two species, the yew
and the plane, seem to resist the effect
a little better than the others, but even
with these final destruction is only a
matter of a short time.
The commission recommends that the
roads of the Bois be covered with
small paving stones or bitumen instead
of tar.
THE SIMPLE LIFE.
If one advances confidently in the
direction of his dreams and endeav
ors to live the life which he has im
agined he will meet with a success
unimagined in common hours. In
proportion as he simplifies his life
the laws of the universe will appear
less complex and solitude will not
be solilude nor "pflverty poverty
nor weakness weakness. Thoreau.
