We take pleasure in calling special
attention to the advertisement of W.
S. Newbury, the Managing Agent
for Oregon and Washington Territory,
for Frank Bros., one of the largest
Agricultural Establishments oil the
Coast. They are the sole Agents for
the well and favorably known Walter
A. Wood Mowing, and Reaping, and
Harvesting Machines. These machines
have received more than 700 prizes,
including the " World's highest prize "
for mowing and reaping machines at
the Paris Exposition in 1S67, as well as
at the Vienna Exposition in 1S73.
CLACKAMAS CIS. (Ooutafrom pane L)
great many, lateral streams tributary to
these named, near the foot hills; and
altogether, as waa before remarked,
present an array of possibilities for
manufacturing that will aggregate an
immense water power.
There are three first class flouring
mills in Clackamas county, two at Ore
gon City and one at Milwaukic; there
arc besides, three or four custom mills,
five or six saw mills, one largo first
class woolen mill, tub and bucket fac
tory, paper mill, and iron ore and re
duction works in the county, and alto
gether gives token of its greatness, in
leading, in the several productions and
manufactures named, and presages still
greater things for its future. There are
many trades still unprecedented in the
manufacturing line that ought to be
in operation here, where water power
could be employed as an aid thereto.
Clackamas county has twenty post
offices and a population of about seven
thousand.
While we do not wish to make in
vidious comparisons between this and
other counties of our young and grow
ing Stnte, we do not think for variety
and beauty of landscape, salubrity of
climate, and abundance and purity of
living water, it is surpassed in this or
any other State.
Oregon City, the county scat of
Clackamas county, is most beautifully
located on the Willamette river, imme
diately below the Falls, one of the most
picturesque spots on. the coast. It has
the honor of being the first city estab
lished in the State. Tho first cabin was
built there in 1835, by Dr. McLaugh
lin, the chief factor of the Hudson Bay
Company, Our engraving represents
the south part of the city as seen from
the cliffs, showing the Oregon City
Woolen Mills, a magnificent four-story
brick structure, owned by a Company,
of which Ralph Jacobs, Esq., is Presi
dent.', Immediately in its rear we ob
serve the roof of the Tub and Pail Com
pany's Factory, whilst almost adjoining
it on the left we sec the far-fumed " Im
perial Mills." Lying on the bunk of
the river, as partly seen in the extreme
right end of the engraving, is the splen
did Flouring Mill of Miller, Marshall
& Co., a beautiful brick structure with
stone foundation, built on the bed-rock,
and perhaps the finest and largest flour
ing mill on the coast. On the opposite
bank of the river are the locks of the
Willamette, (constructed at an expense
of half a million of dollars) allowing the
passage of steamboats from the upper
to the lower river, and vice versa. On
the left bank of the river, about one
mile distant, is seen the suburban vil
lage of Cancmah. Taking it alto
gether, Oregon City is one of the most
delightful places in the State to spend a
week during the summer season, as the
scenery about its immediate vicinity is
difficult to excel. The population is
about 1,500. A most excellent news
paper, the Oregon City Enterprise, is
published here, by Mr. F. S. Dement,
a young gentleman possessing more
than ordinary ability. The Allien Fruit
Preserving Company of Oregon City
have their dry-house located in the
northern part of the town. Their fruits
are gaining a most excellent reputation
abroad, and their exhibit at the Centen
nial is highly spoken of by Eastern
newspapers. A most excellent school,
under supervision of S. D. Pope, is in a
most flourishing condition. A good
hotel, the "Cliff House," is kept by T.
W. Rhoadcs. Opposite to it we find
the " Barlow House," also a good house,
but kept on a cheaper plan, by James
Cochran. The stores and shops will
compare favorably with any other in
the State. Amongst the leading ones
we notice the general merchandise es-
tablishmcnt of Ackcrman Bros.; Thos.
Charman's; B. A. Hughes'; A. Levy's;
John Myers'; R. Canficld's and I. Sell
ing's. Each of the above keep full
stocks and as lute styles as can be ob
taincd in any store in Portland. Messrs.
Ward & Harding have a very neat
Drug Store; C. W. Pope & Co.'s stock
of Stoves, Tinware and House-furnishing
Goods, is well selected ; J. M. Bacon,
the obliging Postmaster, who also acts
ns agent for the Wkst Siiork, has a
good assortment of Books and Station
ery, as well as Cigars and Tobacco; H.
C. Stephens, Esq., is the Railroad Com
pony's Agent, and few can be found
along the entire line of a more obliging
nature. Of Attorncys-at-Law we find
the firm of Johnson, McCown &
Macrium, as well as Huclat & Eastman.
Of Physicians, Dr. II. W. Ross, and
Drs. Hoover and Norris. The Machine
Shop of John H. Moore's is one of the
manufacturing institutions of the town,
ond is kept pretty busy at all seasons.
Wm. Broughton utilizes part of the
water power here for his saw mill,
which may be seen in the engraving
the first building above the Imperial
Mills. The Lincoln Bakery Is kept by
Williams & Harding, who nlso deal in
Groceries.' Andy Willis runs a Livery
Stable the only one in town and does
a good business. Worshnm & Ramsby
supply the city with fresh meats of all
kinds. In Boot and Shoe stores we
make special mention the establish
ment of J. F. Miller, as well as the one
of J. H. Shcphard. Messrs. Fields &
Sricklcr keep a full line of Groceries.
The city, for its size, has but few
Saloons. This, however, is perhaps
owing to the fact that the water supply
is unlimited. F. Wilde attends to
repairing Guns and Sporting Imple
ments, and has been established here
since 1852. C. P. Wincsctt manufac
tures and repairs Wagons and Agricul
tural Implements. Messrs. Wentherston
& Mullins conduct a Furniture store
the only one in town ; they keep a full
supply of everything required for house
furnishing. C. M. Kcstcr manufactures
Sacks and Tents; his machines are all
run by water power, thereby saving
considerable muscle. In the Black- ,
smithing line, the town is supplied by
two firms, namely: McKinnono: Miller,
and Willis Bros. With this we close
our description for the present of Clack
amas county and its county scat, Oregon
City.
The Pacific Boot and Shoe House
No. 77 First Street, Dek urn's Block, has
the largest stock of Boots and Shoes in
Portland, and arc now receiving 30
different Styles of Centennial Boots and
Shoes for men and boys, as well as an
immense stock of Ladies' and Childrcns'
latest styles of fine shoes. They make
all importations direct from manufne.
turers, and are therefore enabled to offer
nt lower prices than any houso in
this City.
A Inrge assortment of Field and
Marine Glasses, just the thing to take
to the seaside with you, received by
Steamer Aiax at Win. Beck & Son's,
107 Front Street,
The " Royal Hoot and Shoe Store,"

tween Yamhill and Taylor, is now
nearly ready to receive the well assorted
stock of Boots and Shoes, soon to ar
rive, both of San Francisco and Eastern
manufacture. Send your orders to J,
L. Royal.
The Salem Marble Works of Mr. :
Staiger are the largest in the State.
His assortment of .Mantles, Statuary, ,
Fountains, Monuments and Headstones
is unsurpassed.
One of the most complete establish
ments in the State, in the Boot and Shoe
line, is the Store of John W. Gilbert
at Salem, always has a very large stock
of ladies' and children's latest styles of
shoo on hand, and he has the exclusive
sale of the celebrated "Ilerasome
Gaiter." Also deals extensively in
Leather and Shoe Findings, and pays
the highest market rate for Hides, Furs
and Pelts. People south of Portland
will find it to their advantage to call at
Gilbert's
