FAIR DATE IS NEAR
Commercial Club Members to
Make Merry Tomorrow Night.
GREAT SPORT IS EXPECTED
Entertainment, Which Is One of Sev
eral Planned to Bring Business
3Ien Into Close Touch, Win Be
' Open to Their Families.
Members of the Portland Commercial
Club will play at holding a county fair
In the dining room of the club tomor
row night, and the preparations for the
event are. if possible, even more elab
orate than those that preceded the
staging of the famous "Hungry Gulch
Saloon" some months ago. at which the
business men of the city re-enacted
the scenes of the frontier days.
The county fair Is to be more com
prehensive In Its scope than the former
entertainment, not only in the number
of attractions provided for. but also In
the fact that families of the members
are to be guests at this entertainment,
-while "Hungry Gulch" was purely a
"Btag" affair. "Ginger City" Is the
name of the fabulous county seat that
1s to be established at the Commercial
Club, and there will be held the great
"Prosper County Fair."
Tried Performers to Take Part.
There will be no lack of local color
at the ProsDer County Fair. Many of
the members of the Commercial Club,
who starred in the old Hungry Gulch
cast, are coming to Prosper County
Fair disguised in appropriate rustic
costumes, and It is announced that
many who expect to attend the fair
are preparing to organize parties of
men and women to come in costume to
the entertainment.
The Prosper County Fair Is one of a
series of social events which are being
held in different periods In the year,
for the purpose of giving more empha
sis to the social side of the club's ac
tivity and to bring the members and
their friends and families into closer
touch with one another.. The "Hungry
Gulch Saloon" and the. annual picnic
In June are the two most important
events that have been held heretofore,
and the committees In charge of the
fair are planning to eclipse both of
these.
Special features will be Introduced
from the Barnes circus and from dif
ferent theaters of Portland, and mem
bers of the club themselves are ar
ranging a series of side shows and
other attractions that are expected to
make the evening a whirl of merri
ment from beginning to end.
Parts Are Assigned.
George L. Baker is to be Sheriff of
Prosper County and. C. F. Berg will be
the ringmaster for the circus. V. J.
Hofmann Is Mayor of Ginger City and

21 MORE ARE CITIZENS
Special Examiner Hazard Hears 100
Applications-In Three Days.
After a three days' session at which
more than 100 applicants for citizenship
have been examined. Special Examiner
Hazard completed the November term
Tuesday, when he admitted 21 more
citizens. Eighteen new citizens were
admitted Saturday and 29 Monday.
The large number this month was due
to the fact that because of the nearness
of an election, no naturalization hear
ing was conducted in October. Those
who were up for their tinal citizenship
examination yesterday and were passed
by Mr... Hazard and admitted by Judge
Kavanaugh are: Henry P. Jorg, Olaf
Kyllo, E. V. Mitchelson, John Mitchel.
Fred Burghardt, Mikal Erickson, Arthur
Oldham, E. G. Purdy, P. P. Smit, Eric
O. Johnson, John J. Gallagher and Ole
SJoiseth.
Others admitted to citizenship are:
H. R. Saf strom, Conrad Gettman,
Andrew Stumbre, Alfred H. Lomai,
Joseph Tules, Patrick Ferguson. M. T.
Hyldolund, Walson A. Rae, Mathew
O Donnell, James Sterling Peterson.
G under J. Running, Otto Grlssell and
Jacob ilser.
amending the fund charter amendment
to benefit these two men.
A change of only one word Is neces
sary in the law. At present provision
Is made for pension for any fireman
who becomes permanently disabled
while In the service. It is proposed to
change the word "becomes" to "has be
come." The two men mentioned still are In
the service. These are the only two
men in this class. The Board of Trus
tees, of which Mayor Albee is chairman,
tried to grant pensions to the two, but
under a ruling of City Attorney La
Roche it was found impossible.
Whitcomb is suffering from an acute
case of rheumatism, contracted while he
was in service..- Shane is suffering from
tuberculosis, which also was contracted
during his time in the service. Both
are said to be In great need of 'assist
ance. The Board of Trustees yesterday
granted relief to Joseph Perkins, a fire
man who was injured in & collision, with
a car, November 15; A. V. Doiphy, who
was hurt by a horse, and Edward Mo
Donald, who was sick for a short time.
The proposed charter amendment re
garding pensions will be drafted by City
Attorney LaRocbe and submitted to the
City Council to be placed on the ballot.
PENITENTIARY LIVING UP
HIGH COST OP COMMODITIES PRE
VENTS RETURN OP FCG1T1VK.
Superintendent Lamoi Saya He Keels
Unable to Extradite Vander
pool From Canada.
That the high cost of living operates
In penitentiaries as well as In private
homes became evident yesterday, when
Superintendent Lawson. of the State
Penitentiary at Salem, gave tils reason
for not desiring to return Chester Van
derpool, an escaped convict, who was
sent from Multnomah County for house
breaking and who has a sentence of
from one to 10 years to serve.
Vanderpool was captured at Morse,
Saskatchewan, Can., and the chief of
police of the town wrote to H. P. Hunt
er; Deputy Constable here, asking if
Vanderpool was wanted In Oregon.
Hunter took it up with Lawson and the
latter's reply was that "the finances
of the institution are so low, owing
to the increased cost of commodities"
that he felt unable to go ahead with
extradition.
Vanderpool created a stir in Portland
police circles when he confessed to the
holdup and shooting of Joe Charland
at the Seven-Mile House last Decem
ber. It was proved that he had no con
nection with the affair, but he was
convicted of breaking into a house at
St. Johns and was given an indeter
minate sentence of from one to ten
years.
