the hop pickers anything but a

What Oregon Cily needs now is
mayor and city council all pull
ing together. This city has prom
ises of a big boom and with it
will come up many important
matters to be considered. We

and decidedly agreable gentle
man to meet.
Just by a hair Benton county
again nosed Clackamas out for
first prize at the state fair this
week, and we must again take
second place. For five years Ben
ton county has walked away the
big end, but the Dallas press dis
patches state that this year
Clackamas county gave them the
ocare of their lives. Mr. Freylag,
Mr. Eby and others have more
worked to get first place,
thev say they are going to
it up until they win.
And the next day it rained.
With all the rain and unfav
orable weather, the farmers are
very much in it this year.
That ball game series at the
county fair is going lo be some
contest. Every town has a pride
in its local team, and they are
backing them to win.
You would never know there
was a presidential election on in
Oregon City. Business moves on
just the same as ever, and all
positively refuse to get scared.
The big fair will soon be here.
Every year it. grows bigger and
bigger and the increased patron
age warrents it growing better
each year. There is going-to be
a lot of money put into it this
year, and it is going to be far
stronger in every line of attrac
tion.
. We want to get together and
organize against the division of
this county . Those who would
divide it are in the work with a
vengence. While there is little
danger that the division will car
ry, yet there is ever a possibility,
and the thing to do is to get in
and work to keep the old county
a whole county.
If there is going to be anything
done on the matter of having a
vote on a public elevator up the
bluff, it is time some move was
made. This part of the city had
better consider this malter as
quite an important one, for with
the big growth that will come on
the westr side next year, this side
will need to make its resident
section as attractive as possible,
Residents of the hill section
were treated to a manufactured
earthquake Wednesday after
noon, when a huge part of the
face of the big bluff of Mountain
View was torn off by a big blast.
A giant load of explosives was
planted on the mountain's face,
and the residents of that section
were warned to leave their homes
and hunt safety places. Howev
er the explosion was not as spec.
acular as was anticipated. Tho
explosion simply raised the tons
of dirt and rock to a small
height, and then it rolled down
the mountain's face. But con
sidering that tho admission was
free, there was no kicking on the
exhibition.

BOUND TO COME.
Mr. Hughes Says With Education
Socialism Will Come.
H. L, Hughes of Spokane,
newspaper man and Socialist
lecturer, delivered an interesting
political address at Willamette
halt- Tuesday night and held the
closest attention of the audience.
Mr. Hughes was a pleasing
change from many of the rabid
speakers. He appealed to brains.
Ho said Socialism was bound to
come, for the reason that people
were being educated, and that
with education it is a natural re
sult. Mr.. Hughes slated that the big
trusts were piling up over pro
duction, that the poor class
could not consume it because of
excessive trust prices, that those
who could afford the prices were
too few to use the output, and
that a time was inevitable when
a crash would come because of
this over production, and the
government would have to take
over the businesses and conduct
them "for the people.
Mr. Hughes is editor of the
Labor World of Spokane; i3 a
scholar and a thinker, and his
address made a decided hit with
his listeners.

Proposed to Establish a Chair In Lon
don University.
A proposal has been made and Is
now receiving Influential support for
establishing a professorship of town
planning at London university. The
idea originated with John Burns, who
suggested at the town planning exhi
bition, held at Crosby Hall some time
ago, that some wealthy person should
endow such a chair, and since then
Herbert Warren of the Gurden City
association has several times urged its
desirability. The matter was at first
referred to the excutlve committee of
the association, and now a strong com
mittee Is being formed to further it
The recent conference on town plan
ning showed that there Is among the
local authorities of the country a great
deal of keen interest In (his subject.
EuthUHlusm. for the movement, indeed,
very often outstrips the knowledge of
the principles of town planning, which
is natural, seeing that those who are at
present the technical advisers of the
borough and district councils bad no
opportuulty of studying the new theo
ry and practice of town plunnlng when
they were preparing for their careers
as architects or surveyors. It Is for
this reason that the creation of the
proposed chair at London university Is
now being urged, it is intended, if the
proposed chair is founded, that archi
tectural students should have the op
portunity of attending the lectures ou
town planning as part of their profes
sional studies. Instruction is already
given In this subject at Liverpool uni
versity by Professor Adshend and at
Birmingham by Raymond Unwln, and
It is strongly felt Unit students In Lon
don should have the same facilities

Henry Mlers, the principal, have ex
pressed great Interest in the scheme
It Is supported also by Sir Aston Webb,

eral valuable suggestions. A profes

A SERMON ON INACTIVITY!
(J When in after Yeats you reflect on the present
formulative period of GLADSTONE, the beau
tiful little towosite along the Clackamas, you,
Mr. Renter, will say to yourself, again and then
again: "That was the time 1 should have start
ed my Home!'
That time is TODAY and the Gladstone
Real Estate Association can be of far-reaching
service to yon. for under a unique system of lot
payments, which we have carefully worked out.
wholly for your convenience, we have made
it possible to begin the realisation of your long
cherished home, and you will never miss the pay
ments from your earnings.
(J Yesterday we placed on the market. 200 very
choice residence lots ranging in prices from $200
to $400. and within sixty days we are going to
sell them all. How do we know it?
Because Gladstone NOW is the most progressive little munici
pality in this part of Oregon
q Because Gladstone has a $20,000 water system of its own in op
eration, and has more improvements and modern city conven
ces than any other suburban town you ever heard of
(J Because Gladstone, nestling to the banks of the picturesque old
, Clackamas, with an attractive city park, and seventy five acres
of most beautiful Chautauqua land, is a beauty spot most alluring
to the Portland business man who wants and ideal suburban home
site
(J Because Gladstone has a $1,000 building restriction, an insur
ance to the home builder
(J Because oar Gladstone lots will please any soft of a buyer. The
200 to be sold by November embrace lots, cleared and uncleared,
lots level and hilly; lots along the river, lots away from the river;
cheap lots; expensive lots; lots that will raise any kind of a garden,
and lots that will raise in price tQO per cent, in the next five years.
I Because our payment system is the easiest one imaginable: One
year, two year, three year, four year, or even, five almost any old
time to suit yourself and at a ridiculous rate of interest, $0 cash
down when the contract is made, that's all
(I Because ia case of sickness our generous contraet permits you to
let your payments slide for onej two or three months.
(J And lastly if you should die before your lot is paid for, your heirs
or legal representatives may continue the payments, or, if they de
sire, may return the contract and we will RJETURN EVERY "RED
CENT" PAID TO US and in addition will refund THE FULL
AMOUNT OF INTEREST PAID. This leaves the matter whol
ly with your heirs or representatives.
(J These are a few of the reasons why we are going
to sell 200 lots within the next 60 days. Now read
them all over once again and then come and see us at
our Oregon City office or run down to our Gladstone
office, opposite the postoffice and ask Mr. P. Cross to
show you these beautiful lots and quote prices to you
(J Remember. Mr. Renter, the lesson - of; inaction,
don't wait five years and then sadly remark: "That
was the time I should have started my home'
