That this development will nc pihnrlly be of Kieal betiellt to ua and iw Increase, the wealth and -pros per . Ity of Oregon City must be admitted by all. i "The Clackamas Southern Kallroad ! 1 an enterprise tliut deserves well of all the people In the district through which It Hue baa been laid, extend ing from Oregon City through Heaver i Crei k, Miillno, Liberal.

"About twenty yours ago, when Mayor of this city, I bad the honor of driving the "(iolden Hplke" which m irked the completion of the Knst Side Hallway, from I'ortlund to Third Street in this city. This Is tho rail way now ownod and operated by the Portland Hallway, Light & I'ower Company. That railway haa been and now 1.4 a very Important and ben eficial factor In developing and up building thla community and tho rural districts between this city and I'ort lund. "The Clackamas Southern Is purely a horne enterprise. It la being built by somo of our own people. Tbeae people are public benefactor In this community.

From every standpoint the I'JM annual was the best that has ever been Issued by thla paper, and without deviating from the facta In the allghteat degree It may also be said that nothing more complete and attractive bus bexn published by any dully In the state. The Knterprlse was the recipient ol hundreds of expressions or commen dation regarding the Inst annual Is sue, not only from local residents, but from the metropolitan press of the mule aud many oilier who know and appreciate a worthy sample of the printer' art when they aee It. Many thoiisnnda of copies of that la sue wire mailed to point outside the state and that It did much good In exploiting the resources and opiHirtun Itlea of Clackamas County goes with out saying. As was the previous number our forthcoming anuual will be printed in ninKtitlne form on fine book paper and well IHiiBtruted throughout. In stead of an embossed cover a hand some two or three color cover design will be used and there will be numer ous other Improvements.
