The programme was opened by an
impressive flag-raising exercise. Ac
companied by the railroad band, the

Banner" as the flag went up.
, The first event on the athletic pro
gramme was a six-Inning ball game
between the Albina shopmen and the
general office employes. The mechan
ics took the bookkeepers into camp to
the tune of 4 to 2. The batteries were
Husing and "Wallan for the winners and
Johnson and Cosgrove for the losers.
The game was played on the new $7000
diamond constructed by the railroad
company in its magnificent public pic
nic park at Bonneville.
From the standpoint of fun, the fat
men's race and the activities of a fat
pig, liberally greased, vied for first
honors as tear-producers. The qualifi
cations for entry in the fat men's race
were that the contestants must weigh
more than 200 pounds and be more than
45 years old. To add to their diffi
culties they were required to carry a
heavy sack of sand in each hand. When
the dust had cleared and a calm set in
after a series of young earthquakes,
it was seen that C. E. Cochran, weight
210 in the shade, had rolled in first.
with A. H. rostle. 230, second.
The greased pig was an exceedingly
healthy animal, and from his line
plunges it wns evident that he had the
makings of an all-star fullback. He
met his Waterloo, however, when he
anempiea 10 aoage Deiween me legs
of Jake Rau. Jake was knock-kneed,
and the pig couldn't quite make it.
The spacious dancing pavilion was

Company will present a plotless, tab
loid of nusic, singing, dancing and new
costumes in elaborate stage settings
entitled "Abie's Night Out." In this the
Ginger Girls are to take more than the
chorus part. And for the opening day
of the week, Sunday only, the Fisk
Lniverslty Jubilee Singers will present
two concerts, one In the afternoon and
the other in the evening as an added
free offering.
The Washington (D. C.) Times said
of these singers:
"It was the busiest moment of the
White House morning. The ante-room
adjoining the President's private office
was crowded with officials. Suddenly
there burst forth sounds of music from
the cabinet-room and the hub-bub
ceased while the tones of an organ
swelled louder and louder while one by
one the old songs of the South followed
each other In richness of tone that
thrilled the hearers. Gradually the
deep lines on the President's face soft
ened. With eyes closed and head thrown
back he sat listening. "Steal Away
Home," 'I Want to Be a Soldier.' 'Old
Black Joe' and other ante-bellum day
songs and hymns were given and when
it was over the President, with eyes a
wee bit dimmed, shook hands with the
singers."
The afternoon and evening pro
grammes will be different during this
one-day visit to Portland.
Instead of the formal orchestra that
has been furnishing the music for the
dancing, a real regular Jazz Band has
been placed in the dancing pavilion
and will be used every week-day night
for the rest of the season, including
Monday, a night that has been left
"dark" heretofore.

Civic Center to Be Built for
Belgian Colonists.
250 HOMES ARE NEEDED
Sclioolhouse, Churcli, General Mer
chandise Store, Dancing Pavil
ion and Public Hall Will "
Be Erected.
In arranging for the establishment of
the first unit of Belgian colonists, to be
located on a 562-acre tract of choice
orchard land near Dufur. Eastern Ore
gon, James Slevin, their agent, is going
to build a modern civic center. He se
lected one of the prettiest portions of
the property for this purpose.
In the midst of a beautiful poplar
grove, Mr. Slevin will build the civic
center, consisting of a schoolhouse,
church, general store, dancing pavilion,
public hall, etc.
The deal for the tract having been
closed, Mr. Slevin will proceed with
construction work, which will necessi
tate building 250 modern little homes,
as there will be that many families in
the first unit. They are now living in
Holland, to which place they fled, with
thousands of others, when the Germans
Invaded their country.
Other units of a general colonization
scheme, "of which Mr. Slevin is the di
recting head, and which Is backed by
the Belgian government and by indi
viduals of great wealth, will be placed
in Oregon and other Pacific Coast re
gions later.
According to present plans, the first
unit consisting of 2ZO families will be
placed on the ground at Dufur in No
vember. s
COLOXT SITES ARE SUGGESTED
Governor Shows Interest In Plan to
Bring In Belgians.
SALEM, Or., July 28. (Special.)
Governor Withycombe today held a
conference with James Slevin, who has
been arranging for a Belgian colony
near Dufur., by bringing larse num
bers of refugees, possibly 1000 or more,
into the state. The question of loca
tions for Belgian colonies was dis
cussed. The Governor offered the suggestion
that there seem to be three sections
of the state ideally adapted to such
colonization plans, where large tracts
of fertile land could be obtained at
reasonable prices.
He suggested the country between
Turner jind Albany, and the Stayton
district, particularly for the growing
of flax, an industry peculiarly adapted
to Belgian methods of agriculture and
an industry with which they are thor
oughly familiar.
For general farming purposes he
suggested that land could be acquired
ift Yamhill County In the vicinity of
Willamina or on the Grand Konde
reservation, while those desiring a more
mountainous country cantfind great
stretches of land in Lincoln County,
where it has been logged off or burned
over.
"In suggesting these three localities,"
stated the Governor. "I had in mind no
intention to slight the rest of the state,
nor to cast aspersions on the rest of
the state or Its farming values. But I
mention the three sections partieularly
as I believe that they fit the conditions
which might be more adaptable to ex
rreidents of Belgium, their climate and
soil being largely similar to the cli
matic and 6oil conditions under which
the Belgians have been living. Thev
should. colonize where they could most
succcsslully follow those industries
with which they are more familiar."

Dixie Carroll, Editor National Sportsman Magazine,
places his seal of approval on the Evinrude Motor.
National Sportsman's try-out and test report. No. 55, on the Evinrude
Motor, made by the Evinrude Motor Co., Milwaukee, Wis.: If there is
any little old part of the outdoor' kit that has shot more joy into the
fishing game than the Evinrude Outboard Motor, I have yet to find '.t.
And thiB Joy stuff is not only due to the Evinrude because it is an
outboard motor that can be attached to most any boat, but to the bit?
outstanding fact that it is a motor that takea you somewhere and gets
you back again without a lot of fussing around the engine and a lot of
little things going bad and stopping their work at the wrong time.
The JSvinrude motor is built right. It is built on a line that makes it
far stronger than the ordinary requirements of the outer, and that Is one
reason why it holds up like a royal flush when put to the test. All the
way through the most minute details of construction are given close
attention, and good workmanship, together with first-class materials,
makes a motor at the finish that will deliver- the goods and not kick
out its insldes doing it. - I have kicked my Evinrude through weed-beds
galore, in among the windfalls and rocks, let everv old amateur motor
rjinning fiend around my camp use It. and it still purrs like a happv
kltten when It gets the spark. It is fool-proof, and unvone can run it
without fear that It will go up in the air. It is reallv made for the
amateur, and everything is simplified to make it run right for I he fellow
who doesn't know much about the engine game. The automatic reverse
and the Evinrude "Sure-catch" Trolling Attachment are great little
points that make the Kvlnrude a boon to fishermen. Taken everv wav,
the Evinrude is a wonderfully efficient outboard motor, and i fully
recommend It for a high-class piece of equipment that will deliver the
Pooos at an iimes. dy writing rjvinruae Aioror f . o., 211 Morrison Htret.
