General Civic Improve
": ment'is Theme
Oregon City may yet prssess an
athletic field if the council closes its
option for five acres in the Engle
brecht tract, just north of the city.
This option was obtained several
months ago, when it was determined
to bore for water on the tract, and
since the failure of the plan to obtain
pure water on this land, the athletic
field committee of the Live Wires of
the Commercial club, has had confer
ences with members of the council
looking to the closing of the option
and the ultimate use of the tract for
athletics.
The cost would be $2500. Oregon
City is one of the few towns in the
northwest that has no field for fooU
ball and baseball and other field and
track events, and a result the young
men interested in athletics have been
compelled to go to Canemah, Glad
stone and other smmraan points to
enjoy their sports.
Talked Athletics.
Consideration of the athletic field
idea was the main proposition discus
sed at the initial meeting of the Live
Wires Tuesday. The attendance was
large and, after a toothsome luncheon,
the tiwe was spent in an informal dis
cussion .of civic matters. Several re
ports were promised for next Tues
day, among those being tlie report of
the committee on civic improvement
and the committee on bylaws. The
members of the Clackamas County
court will be invited to a Live Wic
liinfhiwn in the ti r fntnra of a -i t
to be convenient to the members of
the court. Main Trunk Line L. Adams
presided at the luncheon. George
Randai'.l was appointed to head the
committee on cluster lights. Elec
tion of officers is promised for next
week The following was the menu
for Tuesday's luncheon:

Papers In Suit
Against City
Constable Jack Frost served Con
stable Jack Frost's papers in suit
brought by the same constable against
the city for $35, which he alleges is
due to him for his vacation time whie
a member of the police force.
The action was brought in the jus
tice couitf of which he is the execu
tive officer and will be heard before
a justice of the peace whom he con
stantly serves. Steve Green also filed
a suit against the city for $45 for time
that he spent on the police force. :
Both claims had been turned down
at a recent session of the council and'
the city had refused to pay either of
the men for the time for which they
sent in bills. They have now taken
the case into the courts and plan to
take legal action for the collection of
the money.
LATEST BOOK IN
PICTURE AND PROSE
As previously announced The En
terprise is- presenting to its readers
"Panama and the Canal in Picture
and Prose," This latest book was
written by Willis J. Abbot, the well
known writer on international sub
jects, and is the acknowledged refer
ence work of the great waterway. It
is a beautiful large book, fully double
the dimensions of the usual size novel
printed from new type, bound in trop
ical red vellum cloth, with the title
stamped in gold and inlaid with a
beautiful color panel showing the fam
ous Culebra cut. It contains more
than 600 splendid illustrations, which
include mangnificent water color stu
dies reproduced in full pages in ail
their natural beautiful colorings.
While the older members of the
family will gladly welcome this book,
the children should also familiarize
themselves with its contents, for it
contains valuable knowledge concern
ing this new little "old" strip of land
between the two Americas. It ac
quaints you with the paopfe of Pana
ma and the Canal Zone, "telling you of
their appearance, their dress their
home life their industries their sports
and pastimes. Thi is not only enter
taining but it is highly important in
formation from an educational view
point and should be read by every
man, woman and child who is inter
ested in the wold's development and
progress.
Under usual conditions this beauU
ful big book would readily sell for at
(least $4, but realizing the world-wide
interest in the Panama Canal, daily
newspapers throughout the United
States and Canada are making this
great distribution for the benefit of
their readers, recognizing the fact that
exact knowledge on this timely sub
ject is an essential part of the educa
tion of all who- would advance. So
for a short time this volume will be
presented to readers for only six cer
tificates and the small . expense
amount named therein to cover the ex
pense of distribution.
Clip the certificate today. It is
printed elsewhere in this issue.

LAST MOLALLA
CHIEF IS DEAD
ANOTHER INDIAN IS UNDER AR
REST AWAITING THE DE
VELOPMENTS FINDS CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
Sheriff Takes Man into Custody and
(Maks Investigations Into
Facts -of Case Old
Leader Well Known
Indian Tenry. the, last chief of the
Molallas, is dead, and Harfy Clark is
ha'd by Sheriff E. T. Mass in the
county jail awaiting developments in
the investigations.
Henry Yelkis, as the old chief was
known, was found dead by the side
of ' the road about one and one-half
miles out of Molalla at an early hour
Tuesday morning. On his forehead
was the mark of a heavy club or rock
and beside the place where he lay in
the dirt were footprints, into which,
the sheriff says, he exactly fitted the
shoes of the man whom he later arrest
ed. The foot prints show, to the mind
of the sheriff, that the man who
struck Henry wore the shoes that
Clark had and he has held them as
evidence in the case.
From reports that are in the hands
of the officers, Clark and Henry were
together at the hop fields just beyond
Mount Angel. They had completed
their work and had started toward
Molalla, When they-were only a pare
of the distance, white men who were
passing in a wagon gave the two a
ride. As they told the officers, Hen
ry was afraid of Clark and made every
effort to get rid of him though the
younger manran and caught the wag
on after Henfy had been taken in. It
is also said that he threw the driver's
hat out into the road twice in the evi
dent effort to get him out of the wag
on so he might take the reins him
self. Clark Denies Trouble.
Clark, however, denies everything
beyond the fact that he and Henry
were together " until they reached
Mount Angel. Then he can remember
nothing. He does not know when he
left the town and has no recollection
of anything that had happened since
that time.
Henry was known to have some
money. Though Cilark borrowed ., five
dollars in Mount Angel and should
have had, according to the estimates,
about $1.50, the officers found a $5
gold piece hidden in his shoe and $3
in silver in his pockets.
The old chief tan was well known in
the Molalla district and was given the
place of honor in the parade during
the celebration at the opening of the
Molalla branch of the Portland, Eu
gene & Eastern. He is about 67
years of age and has one son, - Fred,
a logger in a camp at Winlock, Wash.
He has been married twice.
Inquest is Held.
Coroner Wilson went to the scene
and examined the points that would
develops any facts surrounding the
case. Beyond the fact that the blow
was not enough to more than stun and
that he had probably died from sev
eral hours of exposure, the verdict
was non-committal.
Preparations to give the old Indian
a chistian burial will be made at Mo
lalla, although the time has not yet
been definitely fixed. He had many
friends ampng the whites in all sec-

LARGER THAN EVER
With the pupils of the city schools
pouring in from the hop yards of the
county and other places where they
have been at work, the enrollment
will be much larger this year than it
was last in both the high school and
the grades. , r
The opening day-shewed a registra
tion of 216 in the higher classes and
600 in the grades at the Barclay and
Eastham buildings. This is not ma
terially larger than the first day of
1912, but there are still many of the
pupils who have not yet reported for
the year's work and whose appearance
will swell the list by several dozen in
each of the grades.
The first day was devoted to the
registration of the pupils as they came
in, but the assignment to the classes
was rapidly made and the regular
routine work will be begun today. By
this nibrning, the students will have
again entered into the swing of the
school life and the routine work will
have been started.

EIRE EATS THROUGH
BLOCK IN PORTLAND
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept.- 23. (Spe
cial) Saloons, newstands, taxicab of
fices and other small buildings near
the Broadway bridge burned and were
damaged to the extent of $20,00 by
a fire that broke out here tonight at
11:30 o'clock from a restaurant, but
the bridge was unharmed.
Though the flames licked all
around the structure, the fire got no
foothold and no damage was done.
Travel wi 1 be resumed over it in the
morning. The buildings that burned
were badly damaged and part of the
stock that they contain 3d was lost.
The blaze broke out from tne rear of
a restaurant in the section and ate
through several of the frame buildings
before it was chscked by the fire de
partment.
Most of the structures ware old and
single story affairs, and, though 12 of
them were in the path of the flames,
the financial loss was estimated at
only $20,000.

All up and down the Willamette val

years an emjploye of the government
in Manila has been looking for 400
acres of land that will produce the
greatest walnut crop in this section of
the country.
He has been studying this country
for. several months and arrived in the
city av- few days ago to look over the
country and to see the spots that
would be the most likely to produce
the best walnuts on the vast acreage
that -he Intends to plant He has spent
most of. his time around Oregon City
but has now gone farther up the
river and through the adjoining coun
ties. . He intends to plant the entire 400
acres to walnut trees, build him a
home, and watch them grow and pro
duce dividends for him here. He be
lieves that it can be done and will
make the experiment as soon as he
finds the attractive land.
About one thousand times as much
comment has been made on that little

OPEN TODAY
BIGGEST FAIR COUNTY HAS EVER
HAD BEGINS THIS
MORNING
PRODUCT FEATURES ARE IN SHOW
Crops Raised in District Will Hold an
' Important Place in Great Dis-
, plays Large Crowds
Are Expected
Clackamas county's big exhibit of
resources opens today at Canby, and
this morning at ten o'clock there will
be no less than three bands playing
at the fair grounds to welcome visit
ors to the seventh annual display of
(livestock, farm produce and other"
things usually on view at county
gatherings. In other words the Clack
amas County fair for 1?13 will b3 a
thing of present history for today and
the rest of the week.
Ail Is Ready.
Grant B. Dimick, president of the
board of directors, last night declared
that everything was in readiness in
the different pavilionB and show shedd
for the crowds that are expected to
flock to the grounds today. Every ex
hibit that has been entered has turn
ed up safely at the fair grounds, and
mere wiu oe no oianu. spacesT.o spoil
the enjoyment of those who attend
the display on tha first day. In fact
the first day's program will be as in
teresting as any other, as every effort
has been made to have the fair pro
gram start off with a jump.
Milk Testing.
Half an hour after the big gates
are swung back the initial special fea
ture of the fair will be staged. . This
will be the demonstration of milk and
cream testing by A. O .Hollingsworth,
and a lecture givsn by him on modern
dairying methods. As the opening
day of the fair has been designated
"Farmers' and Dairymen's Day," it is
likely that a large percentage of the
early visitors wiK find this feature
one of practical interest. .
The balance of the morning hours
have been left free, so that visitors
may thoroughly' review all the exhibits
without having their attention inter
rupted. In the afternoon the first of
the racing matinees will be staged on
the track, some of the fastest and
besi Clackamas county steeds baing
matched against, racers from all parts
of the northwest in quarter, half, and
mile running racss. Much interest
has been expressed in these races, and
it is believed that some fast time will
be made on the track. .
Other Features
Folowing the races the management
of the fair has planned a number of
surprise features to entertain visitors
during the cooler part of the after
noon, and these attractions will ba
staged on the field lying inside the
track, so that those who prefer to re
main in the grandstand may have a
good view of all that is going on.
Later still in the afternoon there will
be a band concert, and in the evening
there will be more music, from seven
to eight.
Oregon City people who are plan-ning'-to
go to the fair will have no
difficulty in reaching the grounds.
The train going south at 9:20 o'clock
in the morning makes the run to Can
by in good time for those who travel
by it to witness all events, and aside
from this there will be frequent auto
stages leaving at intervals throughout
the day. After spending the day at
the fair gorunds, visitors from the
county seat will find that the evening
train to the north leaves Canby at
such an hour as to bring them to Ore
gon City at 9:15 o'clock p. m.
