CANBY, Ore., Sept. 24. From the
home-grown peanuts in ths juvenile
division, to the mysterious roaring
beastis that was the chief feature of
the sideshows, the seventh annual
Clackamas County fair was raaJy for
visitors Wednesday when the gates of
the gronnds at Canby were thrown
open.
Whi'e the early part of the day was
utilized by a few of the exhibitors in
putting the finishing touches upon
their displays, the exhibits for the
most part were all in place and . ar
ranged before the opening. The only
real exception to this was the showing
of the Oregon City Commercial club,
for wmch space had been reserved,
and which , was represented solely by
space- ,
Big Attendance.
According to Secretary M. J. Les,
of the fair association, who was ev
erywhere about the grounds at once,
and who was one of the busiest of the
officials, the opaning day attendance
was beyond expectations, and estab
lished a record for the grounds. Late
in, the evening Mr. Lee estimated that
between 1,100 and 1.500 persons had
passed through the gates. Aside from
thes3 there were probably two score
tents in the free camp grounds adjoin
ing the fair acres, and in thesi tents
were many vacationists who will spend
the balance of ths weelt increasing the
throngs who wilf. swell the total at
tendance records for the year.

Aside from the milk testing demon

MAN IS TRAILED BY
FLAKES OF FLOUR
Trailed from the rifled store on
Main street by a circ'tuous route over
the hill to Clackamas Heights, Clar
ence Hauldchaf er was arrested Wed
nesday by H. W. Streibig, becauss the
latter when he picked out a sack of
flour to steal, selected one with a
small hole in it.
There has been a series of robberies
performed in that district in the past
six months, and it is though that iue
same man is responsible for all. Mon
day night, this last theft was perform
ed and Constable Frost and H. W.
Streibig set out Wednesday morning
for the scene of the latest crime. Up
on arriving there they found the trail
of flour and followed it to the house
of Hauldchafter. They returned to
Oregon City, secured search warrants,
went hack to Clackamas Heights, and
firrested their man. He has confessed,
it is said.
Hauldchafer is a xoung man under
24 years and had a wife and two chil
dren. It is thought that he had an ac
complice but so far it has been found
impossible to secure any statement to
this effect from him.

the Canal zone none coufcl De better
prepared for what is commonly known
as "Sightseeing" than was Willis J.
Abbot, author of "Panama and the
Canal in Picture and Prose." In ad
dition to a carefully selected staff of
artists and photographers, Mr. Abbot
carried with him credentials from
government officials at Washington,
D. C, where he had long been a spe
cial, writer on national .topics. Be
sides, he has an extensive personal ac
quaintance among the officers in
charge of the canal construction,
which of course, gave him many priv
ileges not extended to s. rangers.
Thus equipped, Mr. Abbot made a
careful survey of the Canal and its
adjacent territory, going into every
nook and corner of the zone. Under
his direction photographs were taken
and sketches were made with a view
to illustrating this book fully and
completely. The result is a volume
which portrays every phase of Ufa on
the Isthmus. Around these pictures
are drawn intimate stories of the cau
toms and charisteristics of these un
usual people; how .some of them were
found to eat lizards and consider them
a rare delicacy; how they live in the
jungle far removed from civilization;
how they have helped to construct
the great waterway; m fact, all about
the place and the people.
The Enterprise realizes the educational-advantages
to be derived from
this book, and for this reason has ar
ranged for a great distribution to its
readers. Every man, woman and child

HARRY CLASK MAKES PART OF
CONFESSION TO THE PROB

INSISTS OK HIS ORIGINAL DENIAL
Says He Knows Nothing of How Old
Indian Met His Death and Re
fuses to Give Statement
of Any Trouble
Harry Clark, now in the county jail
in connection with the death of In
dian Henry at Molalla, confessed, to
the sheriff's office Wednesday that he
had dragged the dead chief tan to the
side of the road and that the tracks
which the officers had found there
wers his own. -
This much of a confession was ob
tained by the officers, they said, af
ter they had cross-questioned Clark
for several hours in the county jail.
He still denies, however, that he had
anything to do with the cause of the
old (leader's death or taat ue knew
how it happened.
The footprints that the officers
found in the. dusty road exactly fitted,
they said, the shoes that Clark wore
when he was arrested, and the man
admitted to the officials Wednesday
that the shoes were his and that he
had dragged the chief to the side of
the road after he had found him dead.
IS
ON HISTORIC SPOT
Beside his wife, on the grounds
where his fathers roam&a at will only
a few years ago, Indian Henry, the
last chief of the war-like Molallas and
the last of that long list of warriors
that'headed the forces of that tribe
in their expeditions through the state,
was buried at 3 o'clock Wednesday af
ternoon in the presence of a large
number of white friends from the city
and surrounding country.
Dickey Prairie was purchased from
the ftfalallas several years ago, but it
is still the burying ground of the chiefs
of the tribe. Several of Henry's re?
latives are there and he was placed
beside the grave of his wife yesterday
William Moray, of Molalla, conducted
the services.

Rushing up a flight of stairs into a
burning building filled with smoke,
Mrs. Calvin Hill, a bride of six days,
saved the" life of her pet canary in a
fire that did small damage to a build
ing be'.onging to Mr. Holman on the
east side of Main street between
Fourth and Fifth streets about one
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Upon noticiug the fire, the first
thought of Mrs.. Hill was concerning
the safety of her bird, and she rushed
through the smoke into the room
where her pet was and then dashed
back to the street.
Although the fire did but small dam
age to the building, the water com
pletely spoiled the furniture of three
of the rooms belonging to Mrs. C. N
Carney,' who occupies the upper story,
but did no damage to Karl Buise's sa
loon, which is below.

"The Business of the Sunday
School," is to be the theme of an in
teresting meeting to he held at the
Congregational church Thursday even
ing at 7:30. Rev. H- N. Smith is to
present some remarkable facts show
ing the size of the business and Mr.
W. S. Hollis, of the Eortland Y. M.
C. A., will speak on the school and the
family.
It is felt that parents should know
what the modern Bib'.e school means
to do for their children, and how they
may ' co-operate with the teachers.
There will be a pleasant social hour
following the addresses, at which
there will be an opportunity for par
ents and teachers to become better ac
quainted. This school is now particularly well
organized and graded. 'Examinations
were given last Sunday at which the
pupils showed a gratifying interest
and much progress during the past
year. All parents are especially in

Lawyer Contends Fathers Are Al
- ways Supreme and Board Has
' No Right to Curb
Their Will
"The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh it away," is the theory upon
which William Stone, city attorney,
holds that the city council is supreme
in all matters municipal and that the
city water board must come to time
or expect to be "fired." . . '
x In an opinion that wae rendered
to the city council Wednesday night,
the attorney went into the law on the
subject and contended, that, as the
council had made the appointment, it
could remove the members of the
board unless they obeyed orders. He
believes that the board is in a posi
tion under the council and that they
are no more city officers than is the
chief of police and may be removed as
readily.
The matter of the board's refusal
occupied the attention of the council
all evening. Friday, October 3, has
been set for the hearing of the objec
tions to the orders that the council is
sued instructing the board to connect
a main with the elevator.
"If any student in the Oregon City
high s.'"ool takes part in any hazing
of any kind, he will be immediately
dismissed." - -
This is a statement of Principal
Pfingsten, of the Oregon City hieh
school, in an address before the stu
dents of the school Tuesday morning.
"Hazing has bean carried on dur
ing the past four years and even this
year several freshmen have been duck
ed and some injured. No decided at
tempt has been made to stop this
practice in the past hut now I will
use drastic measures," he continued.
Professor Pfingsten made his annual
speech of welcome to the freshmen
and stated the rules of the school at
the time.
Already, so soon, some 19lo census
reports are being published.
