OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY SEPT. 27, .1912.
BIG BEN
Helps Run the Farm
On Time
Is it hard for you to got tho farm
hands out in the morning?
Is it hard for you to get them up
in the morning?
If so, why not let BIG BEN do it
for you?
Big Ben is a reliable and truth
telling alarm clock.
It's his business to get people up
in the morning.
And he'll do it every day at any
time you say.
Next time you drive to town drive
over to the store and take a lok
at him.
We keep him in the window where
everyone can see him.

OREGON CITY.
Cas. Spangler and wife of
Carus, were in Oregon City Mon
day transacting business.
Miss M,ary Swemey, of Port
land, was in Oregon City Mon
day the guest of Mrs. A. E. Frost.
Main street in front of Busch's
is pretty well torn up, getting a
start on the paving job from that
point to the Abernotny.
"Blue Ribbon Bread" best
bread made, in dust proof, germ
proof wrapper, a thoroughly
wholesome, clean product. At best
grocers. 10 cents a loaf.
The Willamette Pulp and Paper
Company is building a large ad
dition to their mill on the west
side extending a part of the fac
tory up onother story.
The city is full of Indians these
fall days, and a group of them in
their native costumes and bright
colors makes a pretty picture.
But in most instances it is where
distance lends enchantment.
Mrs. Goo. L. Storey of this
city took about all the prizes that
there were to be taken this year
at lite state fair on chickens,
having taken the sweepstakes and
cash prizes amounting to $187.
50. She received 78 blue ribbons
and 45 red ribbons. She had 104
birds exhibited at the state fair
and received premiums on every
one of them. She also has at the
present time 100 birds at the
North Yakima Fair and will ex
hibit 50 birds at the Canby fair,
and expects to take a great many
of the premiums at each of these
fairs.
The Oregon City people are
back from the national encamp
mnet at Los Angeles, reporting
the best kind of a time and hos
pitality galore, but glad to get
back to a state where it rains
occasionally. Those who attended
were Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Clyde,
David McArthur, A. E. Grant, C.
A. Williams, John Kelly and Ml:
McClelland.
Robert Shelley the contractor,
and E. E. McClaren the architect,
of the Carnegie library have been
busy getting the foundation of
the public building laid out, and
Mr. Shelley says that he will rush
it as fast as men can do 'it. He
says he will have it complete and
ready for occupancy on or before
January 1. He also says he will
employ Oregon City workmen if
he can get them.
Despite the signs and the ordi
nances, digging for the bones and
the relics that boor Lo is sup
posed to have buried with him,
continues on the bluff opposite
the Hawley mill A., and the place
that was once an Indian burial
ground. There are several places
where recent excavations have
been made, but people living in
this locality say that the digging
is evidentally done in the night,
as no one is ever seen at in the
day time.
The sidewalks in this city are
certainly a disgrace to any place
the size of ours. There probably
is not a block of safe wooden walk
in the whole city, and much of U
is in dangerous shape and is al
lowed to remain so. There is ab
solutely no excuse for this only
of official negligence. It is the
duty of the oflicials to see that the
owners are given notice to put
their wals in decent shape and it
is likewise their duty to see that
the notice is observed.. Now a
notice is posted, and that is - all
that comes of it it's like about
half of the city ordinances, not
enforced. There is nothing that
gives the residence part of our
city such a black eye to a strang
er as the deplorable condition of
our wooden walks. Haven't we
passed the country town stage
yet? Can't we enforce necessary
ordinances? Its about lime for
some of the couneilmen to get up
and tell what is GOING TO BE
DONE once more.
And the roses still bloom in
Oregon.

ed to the first Methodist church
of this city for another year and
his many friends are well pleas
ed. Mr. Ford is a live wire and a
man who takes an active interest
in the city and its wellfare.
It seems almost like criminal
negligence to a stranger in this
city to see dozens of children at
play along the bluff where there
is not the least protection between
them and death if they should
venture too near the edge and
fall. Mothers of half dozen famil
ies have asked this paper to try to
awaken a little sentiment against
this dangerous condition, that the
city might be induced to do some
thing for protection. One tody
told the writer that the days were
full of anxiety for her, as her
children simply had to play and
she could not watch them every
minute. We understand that the
oflicials hold that a wire fence
would add to the danger, as the
children would climb up on it, but
this hardly holds good of the
wooden railing opposite and above
the depot. This has long been
protected. It is so much better to
be careful than sorry. The life
of one little child is worth more
than all the Carnegie libraries,
or oiled streets. It took the life
of a little boy before we came
alive to the dangers of the Cane-
mah walk and compelled it to be
safeguarded and the open bluff
is a hundred times more danger-
. . . !- It.
ous. This is a matter mat, is ui
far more importance than a lire
alarm system or the paving of
Main street. Protect the kids
first, then let the improvements
follow. Let us not wait until a
little fellow goes over to his death
but let us protect it so they will
not fall over.

The big fair is on as this paper
goes to press, and it is certainly
some fair. Friday is Oregon City

The summer may have been a
little too wet, but what a splendid

A horse working on the street

The compensation of the car
riers on standard routes, oi
which there are 30,000, is in
creased from $1,000 to $1100,
with proportionate increase for
shorter routes, the order invol
ves about $40,000 a year. An ad
vance from $900 to $1000 a year
for standard routes was made in
1911. When rural routes were
started about 16 years ago the
carriers got $200 a year.
Mr. Hitchcock has also directed
that rural carriers shall have 15
days' annual leave without pay.

$80,000,000.00 Lost Annually
By Wage Earners.
Dr. Sadler estimates that about
$80,000,000.00 In wages is lost
annually to the American people
as a direct result of colds. Lost
time means los t wages and
doctoring is expensive. Use Fo

.Much favorable comment has
been heard on the aggressiveness
of the Courier editor against
crimo and vice. When right, fear
should never stand in the way of
expression, and with many others
we are pleased to note the con
tinued pressure brought by this
paper, against those intrusted
with the enforcement of law and
order.
Henry Page of this locality had
the misfortune of receiving a gun
shot wound in tho foot, while in
the foot hills hunting last Wed
nesday. Dr. Mount attended him,
and while painful, serious results
are not anticipated.
H. L. Schaer is again under the
physician's care and his mother
from Portland is at his bedside.
While patching polatoo sacks
which by the way costs ton cents
apiece,- Marshall J. Lazolle drop
pod in and noting a rent in one
through which a ton pound
lard pail would pass, made the
remark, "We don't take cogniz
ance of spuds that would pass
through such an opening." We
merely quote Marshall knowing
the wide circle of acquaintances
and slandiag to illustrate the size
spuds attain in the red shot side
of the district.
Through a source of erroneous
information, we in our last week's
items noted that the family of
Mr. J. F. Spiger, recent purchaser
of the Black farm, would not join
him here- until later. They are
now settled in their new homo
and consist of his wife and two
grown daughters. As a neighbor
hood we heartily welcome them
and fool assured of an added
social life much to be desired.
Digging spuds in a field over
run with ferns, carries with it
this consolation, that the next
row is not so bad.
Bob Sefton, Ed Hinkle and
Henry Hencis of the "Pendleton
Round up Company" took dinner
at "Totem Pole Ranch" last Wed
nesday. Sefton is the guy that
successfully handles the mule
Maud after all other comers have
failed. Hinkle drives in the Hip
podrome races and is the sport
envied by the balance of the
bunch, for the applause given him
by the ladies, while Hencis hand
les tho trick steer that has caused
such a sensation wherever he has
appeared, by reason of its almost
human intellect and the unravel
ling of stunts never boforo wit
nessed outside of the Pendleton
Round-up. They walked out from
Oregon City and after their de
parture the Hostess was hoard to
remark "Give me a gang of twelve
threshers for dinner every time,
in preference to that bunch." As
a matter of economy we propose
to meet them with our auto on
their next visit.

with Mr. and Mrs. A. II. Harding.
Mrs. Bolls returned recently from
an extended visit in the middle
West and has just finished up a
second siege of homesickness,
which is unusual.-
The harvesting of potatoes is
developing an affection of rot.
My observation after a couple of
days spent in the fields indicates
that the affection is confined al
most exclusively to sun-burned
potatoes, caused by the lato rains,
followed by several days of very
warm sunshine. So far as I have
investigated all potatoes in this
vicinity are in the name condit ion
and the loss will possibly repre
sent five or ten per cent of the
crop.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORI A
THIS most progressive little suburban town in
Oregon, with its newly acquired municipal iwater
plant, its many othci modern conveniences, and its
most lonuti fn' location is rapidly becoming the mecca
for Portland and Oregon City people who want real
homes.
We have a large number of beautiful lots in the
very heart of Gladstone. Close to school, church ,near
the famous Clackamas IMver, in the vicinity of "Chau
tauqua Park" and dose to the electric line.
Th'ese lots are ideal in every way, fine soil, level
absolutely, and all along the city water mains, with tel
ephone service and all other conveniences of much
larger towns. And a $1,000 building insures a neigh
borhood of substantial homes.

Look at Gladstone's past & form
your own opinion of its future
Gladstone is growing steadily each day. We have
sold a great winy lots in Gladstone during the past
three weeks, for people realize the future of th is ideal
little suburban town. Then, too, our prices on our lots
range from f 20(1 to $100, (the same price we asked
before the installation of the city water system) and
the terms were left entirely to the purchaser.
Just imagine many of the contracts we made
will run until far off 11)17. We allowed this because
the buyers wished it to be thus and we were perfectly
willing to help them toward the realization of a real
home. 1
November 1 we are going to quit selling Gladstone
property, and hereby give notice that we will dis
continue the present offer which bo many people nre
taking advantage of, on that date.
From now until then, however. Gladstone a call

Gladstone office at all times and he is only too glad to
show you over this beautiful property.
