SPORT DOPE
BASKET BALL SWTS
DOPE FOR WINTER SEASON
SEEMS GOOD FOR O. C. H. S.
Although the football season will
not be over for some time yet the lo
cal high school and the most import
ant game of the season is yet to be
played, the Oregon City boys have
started to dope out the chances for
the coming basketball team.
- Thanksgiving day will see the last
football game and will also mark the
opening of the indoor sport. The let
ter men in the school will gather and
elect a captain and manager and ac
tive practice will be started at once.
The chances for a first class team
this coming season are good, accord
ing to the dope figured out by the lo
cal schools. Three men are left from
last year and three others are good
prospects. J. Beatie, who was guard
last year; C. Green, last year's center;
and C. Beatie, guard, will probably be
the starts of the winter. Other men
who will probably show up well this
coming years are, Farr, who was sub
guard last year; Kellogg, former
guard on the second team; and Alli
son, who has come out from the east
with considerable of a record.
Last year was a most successful
year for the local school in this sport.

FIRE DEPARTMENT TO ORGANIZE
AT ONCE
ESTACADA.

club.
In order to increase the efficiency
of the Oregon City Fire department
and in order to make tije organization

will meet Saturday evening in the
hall of the Fountain Hook and Ladder
company and make plans for a permi
nent athletic club.

be made to be greater service to the
town.

letic teams and to play good progres
sive game with any and all local or
ganizations. The first team will be

MYSTERY WOMAN SOLVES MURDER
lilt i-'" Jft
ll ,?Jr
At Connersville, Ind., Mrs. Maud
Wilson was found murdered in the
bedroom of her own home, her head
beaten to a pulp. The case was the
most sensational one ever tried in
Fayette county, and to add to the mys
tery all efforts of the local athorities,
combined with detectives from In
dianapolis, Chicago and Cincinnati
failed to find any cjew that would
convict her husband who was accused
of the crime. The evidence was
found however, and in a very peculiar
manner, by the aid of a seeress. Gen
erally people scoff at mental telepathy
but Mme. Pearl Tangley, seeress, or
one with strange mental powers was
giving a performance at the auditor
ium there, and some one in the audi
ence asked her "What do you know
about the Wilson murder case?" To
the questioner's surprise, as well as
the police who were present she re
plied, "If you will call at my hotel to
morrow morning at 11 o'clock, I will
take you to a place and discover evi
- dence that will prove the murderer."
The next morning Mr. Fawcett, edi
tor of the "Examiner," Mr. Williams
of the "Times Star" and several oth
ers accompanied her, and she located
in an old rubbish pile on the outskirts
of the city, seven written documents,
which when examined by the city at
torney proved the quilt of her hus
band, Mr. John Wilson, who is now
serving life' sentence in the Indiana
state prison. Mme. Tangley the wo
man who accomplished this will ap
pear here all next week commencing
Monday, at the Bell Theatre, and she
asks anyone who wants to know of
their past, present or future, to write
any question at home, take it to the
theatre and without seeing the writer
or the paper upon which is written,
she will call the contents and answer
the question free. At Salem, Eugene
and Portland, thousands were turned
away during the week, and the small
capacity of the Bell will never hold
the crowds (hiring her .performance,
especially Friday when she gives a
special meeting for ladies only. Adv.

anticipation of visiting the Canal this

My Dear Mr. Abbot Your new book,
"Panama and the Canal in Picture and

joy forever." The mechanical execu
tion is unsurpassed, and you have .
made a great contribution to Panama
literature. It should be in the hands
of everybody, and especially those who
are not able to visit the Isthmus in
person. After reading your splendid .
descriptions and looking at the fine
illustrations no one can fail to have a
complete and accurate knowledge of
every subject concerning the Isthmus
and the Canal of any possible interest.
Yours very truly,
JNO. W. KERN.
FROM A LEADING PROGRESSIVE SENATOR. August 13; 1913
Dear Abbot I am fascinated with your book, as I was with the Isthmus itself.
This spot, where the nations meet, is of rapidly increasing interest. It will be a pleas
ure resort as well as a commercial center. It is fortunate that one so well equipped
as yourself has written just at, this time the story of this interesting place. You have
caught its spirit, its romance md beauty. The wealth of pictures adds greatly to the
Interest of your vivid descriptions. Very truly yours, MILES POIN DEXTER.

that great pleasure yet in view. Sin
cerely yours,
O. W. UNDERWOOD.

and Prose." It is the most interesting and attractive work on Panama I have ever
seen. It contains the complete story from Columbus to the present, and I have no
doubt it will be readily recognized as. the most useful compilation of facts relating to
our Canal interests in Panama now published. Its wealth of illustrations as well as
its attractive presentation of related facts makes it, a very valuable addition to my
library.

Mr. Abbot's work on "Panama and the Canal" is the most interesting and valuable publication relative to the
Isthmian Canal that has ever come to my notice. Its careful preparation is especially evidenced by its complete
ness of detail, involving infinite pains in research. The story is an inspiring one(iand the. narrative is related in a
most pleasing style. Both as a literary and historical production of great value, and as a model of typographic art,
its place in any library ought to be assured. . WILLIAM J. STONE.
FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF INTERSTATE COM
MERCE HOUSE COMMITTEE
August 15, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I have examined with great
pleasure and admiration your exquisite book on Pana
ma. Of all the works relating to that matchless en

your genius is most excellent and satisfactory. As
a cdntribution to history, geography, literature, ar

art. Yours truly, W. C. ADAM SON.
FROM AN ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN.
August 21, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I am delighted with your book,
"Panama and the Canal in Picture and Prose." It is the
roost valuable publication on Panama yet issued. You'
have thoroughly popularized the entire matter. I think I
have read everything published on the subject of Panama
and the Canal, and in my study of the subjects connected
with the Canal I have spent many days on the Isthmus of
Panama. Your book appears at a most opportune time. I
know of no information of real value on the subject which
is not contained in your book. You have rendered a great
public service. The book is written in a charming man
ner, and you present the intensely interesting romantic"
history connected with that part of the world as no one
else has yet been able to do. I know of no other book of
travel appearing in recent years so interesting and valu
able as this. Very truly yours,"
HENRY T. RAINEY.
FROM THE WELL-KNOWN WISCONSIN SENATOR
August 20, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I have had opportunity only
to glance through "Panama and the Canal" and to ob
serve how profusely and beautifully it is illustrated.
It is pleasing and attractive in appearance, and when
I. have opportunity to read the text I am confident
that I shall find it, like other productions of your
pen, both entertaining and informing.
Cordially yours, ROBERT M. LA FOLLETTE.
FROM MEMBER OF SENATE COMMITTEE ON INTER-OCEANIC
CANALS.
August 15 ,1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I shall read "Panama and the '
Canal in Picture and Prose" with a great deal of
pleasure, but the pleasure will be largely enhanced
by the fact that as a member of the Committee on
Inter-Oceanic Canals I visited the Canal in October
1911, and the half-tone cuts in the volume recall more
vividly than anything else the scenes I visited.
C. S. PAGE. .
FROM AN INDIANA CONGRESSMAN
August 21, 1913.
My Dear Willis With a great deal of pleas
ure I have read your new book on Panama.
Its artistic finish and fascinating literary style
combine to make this story of Panama the
most attractive and comprehensive. I heartily
congratulate you on this picture and prose
history of the Isthmus, for the eyes of the
world are now centered on this pur greatest
national endeavor, and as everybody, interest
ed wants comprehensive information on this
world-famous enterprise, you have surely given
to students and the reading public generally a
new beacon light of history with a fascinating
descriptive thrill in every page. Your friend,
HENRY A. BARNHART.
FROM A NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN.
August 20, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot I desire to congratulate you most
heartily on your latest book, "Panama and the Canal in
Picture and Prose."
A book of this kind is usually regarded as a picture
book, and surely this one is most beautifully illustrated.
But your, book could be regarded as a picture book if one
were to regard it from its letter press alone. I found it
packed with information about the world's most wonder
ful canal, about the people there and the tropical condi
tions and about the ruins and the history that tell of
Aztec and Toltec days and the later amazing adventures
of Balboa, Cortez and their handful of Spanish companions,
who mixed their private business of buccaneering With
an authorized business of exploring. I think the style in
which you have written is most clear and flowing, and
altogether this book is by far the best presentment of this
much-talked-of subject th&t it has been my good fortune
to find. Sincerely yours, . HENRY GEORGE, JR.
FROM A LOUISIANA SENATOR.
August 25, 1913.
Dear Mr. Abbot vpanama and the Canal in
Picture and Prose" is one of the most thorough
works of its kind that has come before me,
and on its face it shows the result of untiring
efforts on your part. It appears to be remark
ably well arranged, and I am sure it contains
an exhaustive fund of information.
Very sincerely, JOS. E. RANSDELL.
FROM A PROMINENT REPUBLICAN
SENATOR
August 22, 1913.
My Dear Mr. Abbot My wife and I spent a
most delightful Sunday in going over your mag
nificent book on Panama. We had visited
the Isthmus last Christmas and were familiar
with the different places, which lent an addi-.
tional charm to the work. It is about the most
"readable" book I have had hold of for a long
while. Sincerely yours, WM. S. KENYON.
