When your legs need a little
exercise, take a walk out the
Clackamas Southern grade to
Newell Creek and see the big
bridge that, is being built over
the canyon there. If is a duplicate
of the famous Kin.ua ( Pa.)
Irestle, 301 feet high, only this

Hut itts sure some trestle and
well worth the walk to see.
Last summer it was given out
that the law keeping curbs in
order and the cutting of weeds in
I he city would be enforced, even
to the point of imprisonment for
neglect. Hut it was nothing but
bluster and the conditions along
the walks are worse than ever.
What is the use of passing such
ordinances when they are not
backed up? It simply breeds con
tempt for city government.
Everbody connected with the
county fair at Canby is on the

thing points to one whale of a
time next month.
Manager B. T. McBain of the
Willamette Paper Co., made an
address before the Rotary Club of
Portland Tuesday. He talked on
the matter of how consideration
of employees increased the effic
iency, and of the plans of his
company to assist. the workmen
in getting homes by building for
them and providing easy pay
ments. There is considerable talk of
having another vote on the public
elevator up the palisades, but if
anything more than talk is to
come of it, it is time to shape it
lor detinue action and organize
for a campaign to carry if. Pre
sented to the voters in oroner
shape, there is little doubt but
the proposition would carry, but
the matter must be out by itself.
and the voters must know just
what it will cost, how much ex
pense there will bo to operating it,
and how that expense is going to
he met. Some think there should
be a very small faro, a cent a trip,
to pay running expenses, while
others think it should he free to
everbody, with a general tax to
cover expenses. With the build
ing up ol the west side, which is
now assured, an elevator would
be the strongest play the east
side could make. But the time
has come when something def
inite should be lined up, or the
matter be dropped. Whose move?

IN GLADSTONE'S LONG
CHAIN of DEVELOPMENTS
iS NOW REALIZED IN THE COMPLETION OF OUR $20,000.00 WATER SYSTEM. WITH THIS FINAL MONUMENT OF PROGRESSIVENESS, NOTHING IS LEFT TO
BE DESIRED FOR THE COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE OF THIS IDEAL SUBURBAN TOWNSITE
GLADSTONE HAS WON ITS OWN BATTLE
Hence word pictures ate unnecessary. There is no element of probability. Everyone that has traveled on the Portland Electric line be
tween Oregon Gty and the metropolis will admit that Gladstone is head and shoulders above all other suburban towns, from every pos
sible standpoint. Therefore we will come at once to our proposition, for you must realise that we "ha- e the goods' Long, flowery,
sensational advertising is the court of last resort for the Portland realty booster who buys up a sixty-acre piece of uncleared land, cuts it into lots and avers that it is the 'chance of a
lifetime" etc., etc. He has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We have A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE CITY with every modern improvement-water unexcelled by the famous Bull Run elec
tric lights, telephone connections, half hour car service between Portland and Oregon City, excellent church and school facilities, and in fact everything contributes to the ideal home.
HERE IS OUR PROPOSITION:
Do you catch the idea? Do you fully realize that WE HAVE EVERYTHINGEXCEPT THE DREAMS AND WILL O THE WISPS OF THE PROMOTER who tries to build up
a town on the infirm and tottering foundation of Chance? If you fully batch the idea the same idea that eight different persons, unsolicited, have caught within the past week the
following proposition will hit you right where you live and you will call ui up and talk the matter over.
T ' L . WE ARE GOING TO SELL TWO HUNDRED CHOICE RESIDENCE LOTS IN GLADSTONE
JLlSteil DURING THE MONTHS OF SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. YOUR OWN PICK OF THESE
LOTS AT PRICES RANGING FROM $200.00 UP TO $400.00 EACH, and at practically your own terms of Payment
TWO HUNDRED CHOICE LOTS, ONLY $10.00 DOWN, AND $5.00 PER MONTH
WILL TURNJTHE TRICK. Can you imagine anything safer? Can you beat this offer in any way? Wont you admit that it beats the savings bank argument, when your town and all
improvements are all laid out, waiting your occupancy? Can you imagine an easier system of payments, or one that would be more convenient for the wage earning or the business
man? However, this offer is only in force during the months of September and October, and notice is hereby given that the present offer will be revoked on the first day of November
ELECTRIC CARS run immediately in front of our office at Gladstone, opposite the postoffice Five minute ride from Oregon City. Our Gladstone agent, Mr. P. A.
CROSS, is always "on the job" and will quickly demonstrate the worth of our proposition by taking you over the grounds and quoting prices. The best lots adjoin the
