OREGON CITY COURIER-HERALD NEW YEAR NUMBER.
H. W. JACKSON'S BICYCLE SHOP.
The bicycle and repair shop of H. W.
Jackson is one of the best in this part of the
state, and needs no introduction to the citi
zens of Clackamas County, having been en
gaged in this line of business in Oregon
City for a number of years. Mr. Jackson is
prepared to do all kinds of machine black
smithing, mending and repairing, and any
one wishing a neat and satisfactory job can
Qv J
leave their work in no safer hands. As a
repairer he stands at the very head of his
trade, and thousands of journeying cyclists
have found his skillful work a great relief
in time of need. Mr. Jackson is also an ex
pert lock and gunsmith, and can make, mend
or repair anything from a bicycle to a steam
engine. The reasonable prices charged by
him are another great consideration for the
public, which, coupled with the high-grade
work executed, makes it the most popular
bicycle repair shop in the city.
Mr. Jackson is a genius, and the above
cut represents an engine and boiler manu
factured by him in his shop for an automo
bile which he is building, the entire vehicle
being built by him. The running gear, en
gine and boiler is completed and inside of a
month or "so Mr. Jackson will be riding
through the streets of Oregon City on his
automobile, manufactured by himself, the
first, to our knowledge, built on the Coast.

Oregon City in 1892. Since coming here
he has been contracting and building bridges
and buildings in Clackamas County and in
the State of Washington. During the year
1901 he has built two bridges for Clackamas
County, one across Sucker Creek, at Oswe
go, and the other across the Molalla at
Canby, besides building the city hall at Can
by, the new Stratton block and the filter
house at Oregon City. The Canby bridge
is one of the largest contracts since the sus
pension bridge was built at Oregon City and
gave complete satisfaction. Mr. Olds drew
his own plans for the bridge and this saved
the county many dollars in extras and ar
chitectural expense usually contingent with
such a contract. With the exception of part
of the iron work, nearly the whole amount
of contract price was spent in Clackamas
County for labor and material, and Mr. Olds
will no doubt secure many other contracts
in the future.

3j? Electric
irrteiS&TPr Hotel
Jacob Casscll, who is well known through
out the state as the genial and accommodat
ing proprietor of that popular hotel, The
Electric, of Oregon City, was born in Sum
mit County, Ohio, in 1859. He resided upon
a farm until 21 years of age, since which time
his entire lite has been given to hotel work.
His first experience in the hotel line was
gained in managing Cassell's Restaurant, in
Mattoon, 111., which he conducted about sev
en years. The remainder of his lite has been
given to the hotel business on the Pacific
Coast, the last seven years of which he has
spent in Oregon City. Mr. Cassell assumed
charge of the Electric Hotel in 1898, and
from the very start the business has been a
success, both to the public and the pro
prietor. Under his management the Electric
Hotel has been provided with all the modern
conveniences and comforts, being strictly
first-class. The building is a large three-story
brick, well lighted throughout with electrici
ty, and has splendidly furnished large, cheer
ful rooms. The dining room is celebrated
far and wide for the excellence of its cusine,
and nothing has been omitted in service or
appointments which will contribute to the ac
commodation of the guests. Large sample
rooms are provided for commercial travelers,
and every possible convenience which goes
to make up a perfect hostelry and a pleasant
home for the traveling public is to be found
in the Eelcctric Hotel. The interior faith
fully bears out the promise outwardly made,
and the hotel has connections with Portland
by electric railway, the cars leaving every 40
minutes. In connection with the Electric
Mr. Casscll during the year built a large
three-story building on his property adjoin
ing, the two upper' of which are used for
rooms in connection with his hotel, while
the lower floor contains two store rooms.
Mr. Cassell employs neat, courteous wait
resses, who are tireless and obliging to the
guests, and give the place the feeling of
"home." Traveling salesmen make the Elec
tric their home when in Oregon City, and
all their wants are abundantly supplied. Mr.
Cassell is generously endowed with that de
lightful intuition that makes all the guests
feel perfectly at home, which accounts, in a
great degree, for the hotel's wide popularity.
