Miss Anna Lewis Clark, Descendant
of Early Explorers, Discusses
"Patriotic Patriotism" to an
- Interested Audience.
CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS. Gladstone ;
Park. July 14. (Special.) Women held
the boards at Chautauqua today, and
Mies Anna Lewis Clark, a descendant of j
both Lewis and Clark, talked on the plat- i
form this afternoon on "Practical Pa
triotism." She was a notable figure and
was gien an enthusiastic reception. Miss ;
Clark praised the pioneers, and alluded
to the heroic figure of Washington who
could give, but not receive anything In
return, showing that true democracy is
shown in actions that benefit the people.
She said that women, through their clubs,
had secured the enactment of child labor
laws in many states. The conditions of i
industrial education had teen bettered,
she said, by taking children out of the
factories and sending them to trades
schools.
Before the lecture the Minthorn Flower
Club directed a drill, under the supervis
ion of Mrs. M. L. Roberts. The drill
was unique and well executed, the feat
ure being the club's programme shown in
the drill of flowers. Mrs. Warren E.
Thomas, of Portland, had charge of the
music, and was at the piano, while the
soloists were Mrs. May Dearborn Schwab
and Mrs. W. A. T. Bushong, who ren-
dered several numbers and were warmly
greeted.
Professor Schafer Lectures.
A large crowd of people was present
at the Forum this morning to hear
Professor Joseph Schafer of the Uni
versity of Oregon, whose subject was
"Some Things I Found in London." He
was ready to shed new life on Oregon
history and spoke of the importance of
abundant source of material, quoting
the adage, "no sources, no history." He
then alluded to the work of H. H.
Bancroft as a collector, stating that
his materials first made the writing of
a history of Oregon possible. But he
contended that Bancroft was unable to
eay the final word on that history be
cause the "returns were not all in."
They had been coming in steadily ever
since several societies and numerous
individuals had been collecting them
from the four corners of the United
States.
Until recently, however, the British
archives had not been explored for
Oregon material, and it was for the
purpose of getting at the manuscript
in possession of the British govern
ment that Professor Schafer spent the
past M'lnter in London. The results
were most gratifying. He found there
sources which would enable scholars
to bridge many gulfs in our history
and in some cases they would require
a serious modification of views now
held Several paragraphs from these
sources were read In order to illustrate
their character and effect.
This Is Pacific University Day.
Superintendent E. T. Mische, of the
Park Department of Portland, read a
paper on his chosen work, but was un
able to complete it on account of the
lateness of the hour. What he did say
however, was or interest to lovers of
landscape gardening.

"We must ever be alert to the ma
chinations and hypocrisy of our hired and
malicious enemies, who are trying to
throw the dust of prohibition in the eyes
of the best citlsens everywhere in order
that their policy of destruction and nega
tion may prevail. The leaders In this
prohibition are men who 'toil not, neither

any of them that they have caused 'two

The Late At Coolldtge.
SrLVERTON, Or., July 14.
(Special.) Al Coolidge, a pio
neer of Oregon and president of
the Coolldgre & McCIaine bank in
this city, died at his home here
last evening:.
Mere than half a century has
passed since Mr. Coo4idge ar- '
rived in Silverton, and until a
few weeks prtor to his death he
had been very active in the busi
ness development of this com
munity. He owned large tracts
of valuable farming- land in this
vicinity and possessed large hold
ings in city property.
Mr. Coolidge was born in Union
County, Ohio, February 15, 1823.
In 1844 he started the manufac
ture of brick in his native state.
He moved to Wisconsin the fol
lowing year, where he remained
until 1S46, when he returned to
. Ohio, and continued to reside
there until 1851, when the oppor
tunities of the Northwest became
known to him and he came to
Oregon, locating near where Sil
verton now Is. Subsequently he
took up a donation land claim of
1 CO acres and erected a house.
Some of this land he owned at
the time of his death.
Later he embarked in the gen
eral merchandising business at a
place then known as Milford,
which in 1855 was superseded by
Silverton, and Mr. Coolidge
moved his buildings and store to
Silverton, a distance of nearly
two miles, where he had since re
sided. He married Sarah S. Allen, a
native of Illinois, who came here
with her parents in 1852, a short
time after his arrival in Oregon,
and she, with two children. Miss
Eva and Alfred, survive him.

City Excited.
BAKER CITT. Or.. July 14. (Special.)
Arriving in Baker City at noon today,
Deputy United States Marshal Nicholson
took in custody H. E. Cooke, who has
been in the Baker County Jail since last
Saturday without any charge against him
on the records of this county.
It was not long after the Marshal ar
rived that the charge of attempting to
defraud the Government was made known
and Cooke was arraigned before United
States Commissioner C. A. Moore of this
city. He waived his right for examina
tion and his bond was fixed at $5000. He
refused to try to obtain bondsmen and
tonight he was taken to Portland and
from there will be Immediately delivered
to the Federal officials in New York City.
Up to the time of arrival of the Federal
officer Cooke maintained that he knew
not why he was detained. After hiB ar
raignment he had nothing to say.
At a local hotel Is a party of 15 peo
ple from Elmira, N. Y., who are re
ported to have purchased stock in the
Oregon Ranching & Timber Company,
ot which Cooke was the moving spirit.
Until Cooke was brought before the
Commissioner these people maintained
that his transactions with them had
been straight and square.
There is more or less concern over
the fact that this city Is alive with
Federal officers tonight. Every man
who has proved up on a timber claim
Is going over tne transaction In his
mind endeavoring to trace every detail
so as to be sure that ne has not com

ed, however, Mr. Kavanaugh, allied by
Deputies Fitzgerald and Grant, pre
pared the city's brief, which was filed
everal weeks ago. , Arguments were
made before the Supreme Court last
week, Mr. Kavanaugh appearing for the
city and Judge Seneca Smith for the
plaintiff.
In an interview yesterday afternoon.
City Attorney Kavanaugh said:
"The decision of the Supreme Court
in McKenna vs. Portland is probably
of more vital interest to the city than
any decision rendered in recent years.
It determines the regularity of munici
pal bond issues to the amount of $5.
225,000. This includes water bonds for
the construction of an additional pipe
line to Bull Run. $3,000,000; park and
boulevard bonds. $1,000,000; dock bonds,
$500,000; Madison-street bridge bonds,
$450,000, and general bonds for addi
tional fireboat and water mains.

In addition to these public utilities.

providing that property sold for delin

sum equal to, but not exceeding, the
unpaid assessment, with interest and
the cost of advertising and sale, and

circulation of initiative petitions. The
amendment authorizing the Improve

been generally agitated of late, is now
a part of the charter.
"The case has attracted wide atten

tions from almost every City Attorney
in the state concerning the city's con
tention. Most of the cities in the state
have awaited this decision with great
Interest. The case was earnestly and
ably contested, and I am naturally
gratified at the city's success.
"The Judicious expenditure . of the

vindication of ,the manner in which the
bond issues were originally Initiated by
ex-City Attorney McNary. Long before
the bond Issues were submitted for the
approval of the voters, Mr. McNary had
passed by the Legislature a law govern
ing the manner In which they should be
submitted. He also had direction of the
preparation of the various measures and
the ordinances placing them before the
people. When tha bond Issues were held
illegal by the lower court, some criticism
of Mr. McNary resulted, but the present
decision shows that the procedure through
out was entirely proper.
The decision will have considerable
effect upon the matter of proposed
charter amendments, now pending. A
committee of 15 taxpayers was recently
ordered by the Council, which' named
Mayor Lane and Councllmen Baker and
Cellars to select the full committee.
One of the chief Items under consider
ation has been an amendment to the
provisions regulating street Improve
ments. This is now greatly changed,
as the decision puts into effect thS
amendment providing for the Improve
ment of streets by districts. It greatly
simplifies- matters, reducing the peti
tions and advertising of seperate peti
tions in each case, and reduces the cost
of the proceedings.' A kindred amend
ment is that which provides that there
must be four-fifths of the property
owners on a remonstrance to defeat the
project.
The bond issues having been declared
legal, steps will be taken at once to
Issue the bonds. These bonds will be
used for various public utilities, In
cluding a new bridge at Madison street,
a new fireboat, for the purchase of
public parks and boulevard systems,"
and to install a second pipeline from
Bull Run River, for the city water sup
ply, and the extension of water mains.
The Water Board, at Its regular
meeting yesterday afternoon, decided,
in view of the decision, to hold up all
petitions for mains until an opinion
can be had from City Attorney Kav
anaugh. The decision changes the sys
tem of extending mains, so that, in
stead of the expense being paid out of
the water fund, it is defrayed by the
property-owners in the benefited dis
trict. There is a surplus of $85,000 on hand,
it was stated yesterday afternoon, all
of which was to have been used for
the laying of mains, but which can
now be diverted elsewhere, probably
to buy fire hydrants, which are urgent
ly needed.

arations have been completed for the
Cherry Fair, which opens here Thursday
morning:, July 16. A large tent pavilion
has been constructed on the Courthouse
square for the exhibits, and this will be
open all the time during the three days
of the fair. The formal opening will oc
cur at 2:30 P. M. Thursday after the
judges have awarded premiums on the
entries. Addresses ot welcome will be
delivered by Mayor Rodgers and others
and responses will be made by prominent
visitors. There will be entertainment
provided for all who come.
At 10 o'clock every morning there will
be a balloon ascension end parachute
plunge. This will be followed by a
"slide for life" from the top of the
Courthouse and a tight-wire performance
by an expert acrobat. Every afternoon
there will be a ball game on Willamette
field. Two bands will furnish music for
concerts on the street and in the parks.
Information received by the Cherry
Fair committee leaves no doubt that the
exhibits this year will surpass anything
that has ever been seen in Oregon here
tofore. Greater care in selection. Im
proved methods in packing and greater
skill in handling enable the 'growers to
put up their fruit in much 'more attrac
tive style than in the past. Because of
the large number of expensive premiums
offered, the exhibits will be much more
numerous than last year, and will con
tain better representations of commercial
packs. Sections of the state producing
cherries that mature earlier in the sea
son have placed their exhibits In cold
storage, and will be here attempting to
carry away the premiums coveted by the
'Willamette Valley growers.
