"We regard the seventh annual
Clackamas County Fair, which
closes tonight, as one of the most
successful we have ever had,"
said Grant 13. Dimick, president
of the board of directors Satur
day evening. "Financially the ex
hibition leaves the association
with a large surplus on hand,
and for this we are grateful to
the people who have so liberally
patronized the fair during the
past four days. We are also'
grateful to the exhibitors, who
by their loyal and generous con
tributions have helped to make
the annual event a success. In
short, the 1913-fair has exceeded
our expectations in every way,
and the directors and all con
cerned are gratified and thankful
for the results, and for the inter

CANBY, Ore., Sept. 27. (Special to
the Enterprise) With all records for
attendance broken, and with over 10.
000 admissions recorded at the en
trance stiles, the seventh annual
Clackamas County Fair closed this '
evening in a burst of glory and-bustle. !
In spite of the fact that sunset was
the signal for the commencement of
mo'ving exhibits, many of which will
be sent to ths big state fair at Salem,
crowds thronged the grounds until
late in the evening, and lingered over
the various displays.
The last day of the fair was re
plete with features.. The motorcycle
race, and the relay race for horsemen, '
were perhaps the most spectacular,
and' were witnessed by crowds that j
overflowed from the grandstand, and j
hung three deep along the railings of

Volunteers Grunt and
Push Against Eight
Freight Cars
Up at Canby Saturday night M.' J.
Lee, -secretary of the Clackamas
County Fair asociation, had a brighr
idea. He wanted to simplify the work
of loading cattle onto freight .ears, and
called upon volunteers to aid him in
pushing an empty stockcar down to
the loading platform.
. .The volunteers responded nobly,
and pushed with might and main on
the car, but it didn't budge.
"Wait a minute till I let the brakes
off,' said Mr. Lee, and ha scrambled
to the top of the car and twirled
wheels. Then he climbed down again,
threw his own weight against the car
with the others, and shouted: "She's
all right now, everybody shove."
Everybody shoved, grunted, shoved
again, and then paused to get breath.
Then somebody investigated. - Th
empty stock-car was found to be
coupled to seven other cars, each of
which loaded to capacity. The volun
teers then gave it up ,the onlooker.-,
laughed uproariously, and M. J- Loo
leaped into his -automobile and disap
peared in a cloud o fdust and also in
deep disgust.

WHITE HAS 110 LUCK
WITH COUNTY JUDGE
County Judge H. S. Anderson arched
his back and sidled into his own cor
ner, when Calvin S. White, mamber of
the, state board of health, entered the
fight between Dr. J. A. VanBrakle,
county health officer, and the local
medics and tried to get the court to
remove the present officer from his
position. - - J
The interview with the county judge
wasn't at all satisfactory. The court
informed the state board that he was
in charga cf the county affairs in
Clackamas county and that he had
mada that -appointment and that it
would stick just as he had made it.
He declined to be obliging and remove
the thorn in the side of the state
board. He told the doctor that ha had
made the selection in good faith and
that the appointment had been ac
csped by Dr. VanDrakla in the saaie
spirit. ' . '

lieved that body and the local medics
had been guilty of trying to cooerce '
him and that he had simply beat them
at their own game. He didn't like
the interferancs of the board and the
medics in the matter and he said so
politely and gently to the state of
ficial. He observed that' he had no
intention of bringing the- other doc
tors into line by the appointment of
en osteopath, but that he had made
the selection because he felt the ap
pointee was qualified to hold the
place. He also intimated that he and
the other members of the county
board of health objected decidedly to
ths evident intention of the medics to
interfere in matters that did not con
cern them, as he thought and he be- '
lieved it would be better if all of- the -intirested
parties would let matters
test as they now stand.
