CANBY, Ore., Sept. 25. Two barbe
cues, an elephant and a baseball game,
along with other features, marked
"Oregon City Day" at the seventh an
nual Clackamas county fair Thursday,
and over 3,000 persons turned out to
see the offerings of the occasion.
The barbecues were a success from
every viewpoint in fact the morning
one was so good that popular demand
made the afternoon one necessary.
The elephant was a late arrival, and
belonged to ft. carnival company thai
got lost on the way here. When- the
company, and the elephant arrived
there was panic among the race j
horsese until the big pachyderm had
passed. As for the baseball game, it
was between Hubard and Mt. Angel,
and was won by the former to the j
tune of 4 to 0-
Big Success.
All these things, and others, helped
make Oregon City Day a genuine suc
cess, and practically everyone on hand
got his or her money's worth. Some
later exhibits arrived during the pre
vious night and were put in place to
add to the attractions. Among these
was the display -of fruits, vegetables
and grains put up by Secretary Frey-
tag, of the Oregon City Commercial
club. This exhibit bore no name to
identify it, and was only discovered
by Oregon City folk after a good deal
of sleuthing. But it made them feel
proud when they finally discovered
what it was. The social hygiene ex
hibit of th9 Oregon Social Hygiene
society was also put in place ,and at
tracted many visitors.
Livestock Show.
Judging of livestock and of part of
the juvenile and general display be
gan Thursday, but owing to the close
rivalries that developed in the differ
ent classes, was not completed, and
will be continued Friday. Some idea
of the trouble experienced by the
judges may be gained from the state
ment that it took Judge Cleveland 15
minutes in one case to pick winners
in a display of but six Polan China
pigs, so. near to standard were all the

Horse Display.
Judging of draft and driving horses
was completed Thursday, and as the
prize winning animals were led about
in impromptu parades by their own
ers they arched their necks and pranc
ed in apparent prids. Detailed lists
of -the prize winners in all classes will
bnrejdy for publication the latter part
of the fair, after the results have been
tabulated and tbe sweepstakes settled-
Among the special exhibits viewed
by the judges Thursday was the mini
ature shoe factory maintained as a
part of the exhibit of L. Adams & Co.,
of Oregon City, where several pairs
of shoes are manufactured daily in
plain view of all who care to stop and
look:. This exhibit won the first prize
an award of $25 for the best working
exhibit and display at the fair. Crowds
stood about the booth all day watch
ing the transformation of raw leather
into serviceable boots and shoes.
School Children Rivalry.
Considerable rivalry has developel
among the school children who have
giant pumpkins and squashes on dis
play. There are over an acre of these
big gourdlike vegetables, ail of which
have been "fattened" on milk and oth
er special "waterings;" and the judges
were in dispair as to which should
have the prize. It was finally deter
mined to have some special expert
pass upon the big exhibits, to deter
mine the relative merits.
Much rivalry has also developed
among the individual exhibitors as to
who shall win the magnificent $50 sil
ver cup offered by the Northern Pa
cific railway. This cup is at present
reposing in the place of honor of the
Molalla booth, and is finely set off by
its surroundings. Always before it is
to be found a gathering of farmers
and ranchers, each of whom hopes to
gain the trophy, and all of whom are
figuring whether or not it will look
best in the parlor or in the dining
room. The cup is to he awarded the
exhibitor who, in the eyes of the
judges, has the best general display of
farm produce of all kinds. It is to
be competed for each year, but if won
three years by an one man, will be
come his property.
Cup For Fruit '
The Southern Pacific has also of
fered a silver cup for the best display
of fruits, and this is also eagerly
sought by the exhibitors- Both cups
will be awarded on Saturday, the las;
day of the fair. Saturday, in fact,
will be a sort of gala day all around,
and exhibitors expect to have their
winning displays decorated with rib
bons and trophies at that time.
Friday will be "Mofalla Day" at the
fair, and in anticipation of a record
breaking crowd from the upper part
of the country, special preparations
are being made to entertain all com
ers. A program of attractive events
has been prepared, and several of the
displays will be rearranged, so that
the exhibits "may he shown to the
best of their advantage. This was
done in many instances between the
first and second days of the fair, and
the change in position ond grouping of
the displays not only added to the in
terest of the showing made, but also
served to keep people who visited the
fair the sscond time from finding
things monotonous.
Use New Road.
Molallans will turn out strong at
the fair, and wild make the journey
down to Canby over their new rail
road, the Portland, Eugene & Eastern,
which inaugurated its service just in
time to catch the holiday crowds. Holi
day crowds is quite .the correct term,
for people who visited the fair on the
opening day nave found its' attractions
so alluring that many of them have
not only returned, but have gone camp
ing in the grove to the northeast of
the grounds, there to spend the re
mainder of the week.
BOYS' FEET HAVE
WINGS- ESCAPES
Albert Kidder, who was sent to the
reform school for running away from
home with a stolen horse and buggy
and who escaped from that institution
last Monday, was found Thursday
evening by Constable Jack Frost at
his home in West Oregon City. The
10-year-old boy slipped away from the
Salem school last Monday and walked
all the way to his home here.
The constable was informed of the
runaway the same day of the escape
and since has been waiting for his
return. The boy will be taken back
Friday morning.

year acording to a circular letter
which has been sent to residents of
that town, informing them that the
money which they subscribed to the
proposition has been cancelled by or
der of the, Albany Commercial club.
The large local plant found it im
possible to secure enough -women to
handle the product of a garment de
partment, and looked over the valley
towns for a suitable location, with the
result that Albany was choosen.
It made arrangements with the bus
iness men under which Albany would
secure land and erect the building
costing $10,090. The arrangements
have been completed but because of
the time required in finishing the
plans, and Some disagreement as to
the cost of the building, it has grown
so late in the season that it will be
impossible to build the factory thi3

making plans to renew the campaign

NEW ILLUSTRATED
BOOK ON PANAMA
No simi'.iar book ever published will
be so widely read as "Panama and the
Canal in Picture and Prose," which
tbe.-JSnterprise presents to its read
ers on the plan explained "dsewhere
in this issue- It is a great big, beau
tiful volume, twice the size of an or
dinary novel, and contains the com
plete story of the Panama canal in
picture and prose. -
Willis J Abbot, the author of this
book, has for many years been a writ
er on international topics. Tnia has
not only fitted him for handling the
subject in question, but has given him
a large acquaintance among officials
who have been instrumental in build
ing this mighty interoceanic water
way. Bo the story is complete, from
the time when Columbus sought for a
natural water course to the Pacific
ocean, up through the centuries of rev.
olution and warefare, and on through'
to the realization of the erenteHf
achievement of this day and age. It
tells of the people and the country;
the various strange modes of life; the
occupations, sports and pastimes of
the natives; how they live and dress;
in fact, it is filled with local and heart
interest set forth in a chatty style
that at once grasps and holds the
reader to the very end.
Such a work cannot help to be of
vast importance in the education of
all who would desire to keep abreast
of the times. The old as well as the
young will find information of rare ed
ucational value throughout this vol
ume. The illustrations cover every
subject treated. They consist of
more than 600 photographic reproduc
tions, and include numerous full page
in colors that portraws the richness
of the scenery in this great tropical
garden. No similar work was ever so
profusely and expensively illustrated.
The Enterprise wants every one of
its readers to have a copy of this
beautiful new illustrated book, and
to that end a certificate is printed
daily in these columns, six of which
enable the bearer to get it when ac
companied by a small expense fee to
cover the actual cost of the various
items of distribution. This is all ex
plained in the Panama certificate. -

radiating from San Francisco a wire
less message which reached every
ship with wireless apparatus, and ask
ed it to dip its flag in honor of the

vessel on the Pacific had received it.
The message read:
