DOROTHY JANE STEVENS
Daughter of Mr. an d lTrs. S. L. Stev
ens. Born in Canemah, August,
1912. Took third prize in Eugenic
exhibit at State Fair at Salem.
TO BOOST ALL THE
COUNTIES IN VALLE
Plans for a permenant organization;
are begin rapidly completed which .
will take charge of the big display to
be made at the Panama Pacific exhib
ition in 1915. At a meeting held in
Albany the latter part of this weekj
which was attended by representa
tives of all the eight counties, great
enthusiasm was shown and arrange
ments were made for a meeting to be
' held at Salem on November 13.
The Clackamas county rspresenta
tive was O. E. Freytag, publicity man
ager of the Oregon City Commercial
club, and he returned with a glowing i
account of the work planed by the new
organization. "It is the only way
which will work out for the exhibit
in 1915," said Mr. Freytag to a repre
sentative of the Enterprise. . "Instead
of eight separate exhibits, tiere will
be one big showing. It is foolish to
try to draw county lines in a matter
like this exhibit. When we boost
Clackamas county, we boost Marion
or Lane county and they benefit as
much as we. But if-we go together
and get the pick of this great valley,
then we can make a showing that will
be the center of attraction for the en
tire exhibiton."

BEATS SISTERS WITH
SIZE OF ITS PRODUCT
There is a certain college-bred hen
down in Benton county who claims
world's championship when it comes
to the "number of eggs she can lay in

amas county chicken, without the
benefits of a college education and
the careful petting of university pro
fessors, to produce the world's cham
pion egg.
Bettie shines forth in her simple
glory in the barn yard of a Clackamas
county farmer. Unconsicious that she
probably holds a world's record, she
lives her simple life free from the
careful attention and complex life of
her Benton county sister.
The egg that Bettie laid measures
eight and a quarter inches in circu&r
ference one way and six and a half
the other. She is owned by Mrs,
Clara E. Smith, of Mulino.

Proposed Franchise Gives Permit to

But Steam Common
User Clause
Stephen Carver will ask the city
council at its next meeting to grant
a franchise for his electrical line
through the heart of the city, speci
fying certain streets he wishes in
cluded in his right of way.
The line would run on Center street
from the northerly boundary of the
city, thence along Center street in a
southerly direction to Fifteenth street,
thence along Fifteen street westerly
to Water street thence along Water
street to the southerly terminus of
that highway.
The proposed franchise also pro
vides that the line may use any form
of power with the exception of steam
and that the cars shall travel through
the city at not to exceed 15 miles an
hour but to be at all times to the con
trol and regulations of the city coun
cil. The construction work is to begin
within three months after the fran
chise is passed and cars shall be op
erating upon the line within 18 months
thereafter. It also contains a com
mon user clause for the Clackamas
Southern Railway and runs for a per
iod of 25 years.
The matter will he submitted to the
city council at its next meeting when
the road will apply for the franchise
along the lines it has outlined.
ALBANY SEES GOOD
N ITS PROMO
SALEM, Ore., Nov. 1. Thirty busi
ness men of Albany came to Salem
last night to aid in the fight to make
the town "dry." A big mass meet
ing was held at the Armory, over
which Mayor Steeves, of this city, pre
sided, all the speakers predicting that
the capital city after next Tuesday
would be arrayed with the prohibtion
cities of the state.
Mayor Gilbert and other resirents
of Albany who spoke declared that
putting the licensed saloon out of bus
iness had been of great benefit to the
municipality. They denied that pro
hibition had made taxes higher and
insisted that the people had been more
proserous than ever since the city
voted out saloons seven years ago.

Hearst introduced himself, headed a
ticket of his own and elected the fu

was more of a trial than a comfort to
Tammany.
