Keen rivalry was displayed in a wa

the army and navy. The most unique
float ever entered in a local parade was
filled with 60 children of all sizes. It
was entered by Mrs. W. K. Shay, who
several years ago, turning her home
into a maternity hospital known as the
Morksnest, has welcomed more than
100 boys and girls into the world.
Judge of the floats at the morning
parade were C. H. Vaughan. C. H.
Castner and Hugh G. Ball. Mrs.
Shay, whose float created universal
plaudits, won first prize on decorated
floats. The Franz Hardware Co. won
second prize. Other awards on the
narade were as follows: Decorated

The baseball game drew a far larger
crowd Sunday afternoon than a union
patriotic religious service held at the
open air theatre in Chautauqua park.
Those attending the meeting, however.
were rewarded hv a strong appeal for
oldtime Amer ea tism by Judge Robert
I ucker, of Portland.
Judge Tucker prefaced his address by
declaring that an age of Jazz is pre
vailing and a period of rubber-like in
flation, in whose reflected glory, he de
clared, the nation now lives.
"but the time is coming," declared
Judge Tucker, when the Fourth of July
celebration will mean more than it does
this afternoon. Some effort should be
made bv the people of all communities
to get hack to earth, hack to ftnda'
mental principles.
Judge Tucker, however, expressed a
faith In the common people of America,
when he contrasted them with the soviet-ruled
Russians. It is the duty of
parents of today, l.e aaid, to instruct
their children in such documents u the
Declaration of Independence, the Con
stitution and the Farewell A.ldre-s of
Washington. He cited Washington's
warning against entangling foreign al
liances. He recited the prophecy that
the next great war would he fought
out no the Pacific coast, and pointed to
the Monglian problem. Then Judge
Tucker called for a return to sturdy
Americanism to meet this and great
ecmoomic problems.
He ended his address by an appeal
for more industry.
"We are leaving our farms and seek
ing the pleasures of the land." he said,
"while foreigners are coming in. for-.
eigners who are willing to submit to
hard work and who are reaping our
fruits. We must return to work such
as our forefathers did."
Dr. Pineo presided at the Sunday af
ternoon meeting. The Declaration of
Independence was read by Rev. Boddy.
Rev. Helmick pronounced the benedic
tion. Sunday night a meritorious con
cert was given at the open air auditor
ium by the Royal Rosarian quartet, as
sisted by Mrs. C. 11. Sletton and Miss
Bernice Matisen, Portland violinist.
Miss May Van Dyke was accompanist.

BILLY SUNDAY DY
NAMIC ON DIAMOND
Rev. Bill Sunday was the snappiest
and the star player of the baseball
game here Monday between the local
American legion team and the Mult
nomah Guards, of Portland, the visit
ors winning by 8 to 4. The Rev. Billv
was umpire, and his decisions were
quirk nut sure and decisive, tie is as
dynamic behind the diamond mound as
in the pulpit.
It was a red letter sports day for the
Apple Valley, for a boxing bout at the
open air theatre followed immediately
on the ball game, and a thousand of
the baseball fans apeared as frantic
as delegates to a national political con
vention in the last minute of the last
round of a 10-round mill between Chick
Rocco, of Portland, and Billy Ryan,
of Chicago. The 1. '10-pounders pre
sented the best scrap ever seen locally.
While their fighting till the last mo
ment was fieice. it was coolly scien
tific. During the last moments each
seemed to forget rules and trv for a
telling blow. The bout was declared
a draw by Referee Mike Kelley. of
Parkdale. Harry Sonniksen and Kid
Morse, local 175-pounders, fought a
fierce 3-round bout o a draw. James
Fenemore, Canadian army regimental
champion, easily defeated Jack Davis,
local boy, in a 3-round fight. A. Gar
lock, of the Portland Olympic Athletic
Club, refetved the Sonmksen-Morse
fight.
The official timers were Mayor Sco
bee and City Attorney Smith. The K.
of P. band lent zest to the occasion by
concerts lefore and between fight.

body, recovered the body, was rendered
unconscious. After he had been drawn
to the manhole, where he delivered Mr.
Dutton's body, he collapsed. His body
bent double, a larger hole had to be
sawed In the tank to recover him. Al
though he was in the tank less than a
minute, artificial respiration was re
quired to resuscitate Mr. Lybarger.
Mr. Dutton was in the tank for 15
minutes. A call was sent uptown to
Marshal Frazier to rush a physician to
the scene and Dr. V. R. Abraham was
found almost immediately. He worked
for an hour with the man before giving
up hope.
Mr. Dutton is survived by wife and
three children. His mother, Mr-. Man
O. Dutton, is a resident of Oklah.
The following three brothers and
sisters survive: Ohas. Dutton, of Park
dale ; Nuke Dutton, of Woodward,
Okla. ; John Dutton. of Webb City,
Mo. ; Mrs. Lucy l.ightfoot. of St An
drews, Fla. ; Mrs. Nellie Tolly, of lli
noilj Mrs. Mattie Wilhite of Oklahoma,
and Mrs. Margaret Bolt, of Michigan.
A coroner's jury Saturday attributed
the death of Mr. Dutton to his own
negligence or overconfidence. The for
mal verdict was :
"Frank W. Dutton came to his death
by not taking proper precautions and
not following instructions previously
given him by the superintendent of the
Hood River Apple Vinegar Co. before
going into a vat to clean same. Death
was caused by being overcome by fumes
and gas of which deceased had previous
knowlelge; and that immediate death
was caused from drowning in a liquid
or semi-liquid in bottom of the vinegar
tank."
An autopfiy proved that. Mr. Dutton's
lungs were filled with the liquid sedi
ment wheq he fell face downward after
being overcome by the gas.
The members of the coroner' jury
were: G. R. Castner, C. A. Bell, .1.
H. Fergusou, W. J. Baker. John A.
Wilson and Commodore I lean.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon at the Anderson chapel. Uev. Lin

PAVING DOES NOT
INTERRUPT TRAFFIC
The grand jury Tuesday afternoon
returned not a true bill in the case pi
II. C. Crawford, former instructor of
athletics at the high school, who was
recently arrested in Minneapolis and
returned here on a charge of securing
rnonev under false pretenses from W.
R. Bailey, principal of the school. Al
legations of Crawford s offenses, a cir
cular be iring his photograph and de
claring that he had defrauded students
and others out of about $1500, proved
'an exaggeration on his return here. At
the time of his preliminary hearing be
fore a justice of that city was stated
that he would probably face a second
charge of embezzlement of funds from
Buford Class, high school student, the
money secured for purchase of a cor
net. Young Glass, who had left for
Juneau, Alaska, has cabled thtft state
ments to the effect that he had made
an affidavit declaring that Crawford
bed defrauded him on such a deal were
erroneous. The cablestates that he

PORTLAND PROTEST
COMES AS SURPRISE
A. I). Ramsey, who returned last
week from a visit to Seaside, making
the trip bv motor, declares the High-
1 way from Portland to the coast is in
fair condition.
Local citizens, learning of the pro
test that has been filed by the Port
land city council against the Lost Ijake
Highway now under construction,
through a letter from Acting Forester
B. A. Sherman to Senator Chamber
lain, Cipro SS surprise at the Portland
action. The Lost Lake H ighway was
begun last year, a portion being con
structed by county appropriation, and
the national forest portion of the high
way being built by the fori stry ser
vice. The Hood River Game Protec
tive Association, which instigated plans
for the new highway, has secured
about $2,000 by private subscription.
A large portion of this fund wa sub
scribed bv Portland citizens.
J. H. Fredricy, president of the as
sociation, which is now engaged in
raising $1,000 to be used in CI mpleting
the county's link of the new highway,
says that the Portland council is pro
testing against the construction of a
road, all plana for which were aban
doned six years ago. It was tentative
ly planned to build a road through
from Leet Lake over the Lipid pass to
connect with the old Barlow road. As
a portion of the proposed road crossed
the Bull Run reservation, it was defin
itely abandoned on protest of city
authorities.
The report of Forester Sherman is
in part as follows :
"The road is outside the Bull Run
reserve and the engineer of the Port
land water bureau has stated he has
; no objection to it. The Portland coen
cil has evidently confused it with an
! other road started several vi-ars ago
