glad to hand out to any Germans
who will call.
Preaching "trade at homo" and
"made in Oregon"and then dump
ing hundreds of thousands of dol
lars into Portland to do our city's
public work, is certainly a left
handed boom system.
Work is being rushed on the li
brary building. One bright day
is worth two clays after the rains
set in, and the contractor is mak
ing the most of the One weather.
January 27 last A. D. MacDon
ald of Ontario, Canada, wrote

If you haven't registered, do it.
County Clerk Mulvey is holding
the office open evenings that all
you voters may get in. The man
who can register and won't and
the man who can vote and won't
has no business ever opening his
mouth about public matters.
The Columbia Park football
team had the whitewash poured
all over them at Canemah park
Sunday, when Oregon City's
stone wall team shut them out
46 to 0. The Columcla team was
clearly outclassed and never had
a look in.
Twenty-five dollars was what
Justice Sams6n thought about
the proper dose of justice for car
rying a gun, and Anton Bauer
paid it. If Samson would multi
ply this fine by four every time a
gun toter comes berore him, this
paper assures him there won't be
any indignation meetings called.
A check book of the state bank
of Hubbard was found and
brought to this office by a gentle
man whose name and address we
have lost. The book contains a
check 'of $30 given by Ammen
Bros, of Ml. Angel, and the owner

"Home contracts Oregon City
workmen" would be as good a
slogan as "trade at home" for
a change. . ;
Here it is past the middle of
October and tho city is yet full of
roses. They bloom almost the
year 'round in Oregon. . ' "
Eat "BLUE RIBBON BREAD."
It's pure, wholesome, delicious,
appetizing. The large loaf wrap
ped in waz paper. 10 cents at your

The midlo of October and yet
the thermometer stands around

Some of the ladies are again
complaining that two legged an
imals are using the stair steps
for cuspidors. If you see a man
spit on the stairways or side
walks all you have to do is to re
port the filthy act to the police to
cause his arrest. The city ordin
ance is very severe for this of
fence. Here's a pair of good ones gome
fellow told on Tom Smith, the big
R. F. D. man. When the rainy
weather of the summer forced
him to side track his buzz bug
gy and drive the ponies, they say
when he slowed down for a mail
box he would reach for the stop
lever and his shoe would hunt
the break. And later, when he got
the auto running again, when he
got to a box he would call "whoa."
Such is habit's force.
Another city contract, the fire
alarm system, has been let to
Portland. What's the matter with
Oregon City? Can't we do this
work here? One after another,
and a long siring they make, of
public contracts have been let to
outside contractors, and thous
ands and thousands of dollars,
that should remain right here in
Oregon City, has gone to Port
land. Our. school buildings, our
library, our sewers, our fire al
arm system, our paving all
these let to Portland concerns,
when I hey should have been done
by home merchants. This is a
leak we should fix.

Property before
November 1st
- You must purchase your lots in Gladstone
within the next two weeks if you ivould
benefit hy the generous offer of the Glad
stone Real Estate Association, which so
many Oregon City people have taken ad
vantage of during the past month and half.
WE ARE SORRY TO DO IT, hut we
must revoke our offer on November 1st.
Our Generous Offer:
Our property is the VFRY HEART of
this progressive little town, and we have
been, offering the finest of these lots at
prices ranging from $200 to $400 and at
terms that are arranged wholly for the
convenience of the buyer. $10 cash and
the balance in monthly payments of $5 per
month. That's all the cash it takes and the
buyer can take possession at once.
Two Speckl Clauses for your benefit
And in addition if the purchaser gets sick,
a clause on is contract will permit him to
FORGET his payments for a period of
three months; and we will forget them, too.
Isn't that fair?
And further, should you die before your
place is paid for,. your legal representatives
may continue your contract, if they desire
to do so, or if they prefer it we will pay
back every penny and interest, and annul
the contract. Isn't this more than reason
able? You Can't beat Gladstone Anywhere
And then, on top of these generous terms
which so many have taken advantage of
during the past month, the fact remains
that you cant beat Gladstone anyplace for
the ideal homesite. You knoxv that as well
as we do. Every modern convenience can
be enjoyed in Gladstone, and the water sys
tem of the little city is one of the finest in
the state, no matter where you go. Glad
stone is a city of progressiveness, and when
you invest in Gladstone property you
breathe deeply of that spirit of proaress
which has made this ideal little city what it
is today and with every improvement the
value of your investment mechanically in
creases. The fundamental idea is this :-
No Speculation-Gladstone is here now
No vague dreams of a town way off in the
future. The little city is here, on the ground
now, where you can see for yourself, and it
takes only a look to convince even the most
skeptical that Gladstone property is worth
while.
Our phone is Pacific States 1982. Mr. P. A. Cross has charge of our Gladstone
property; our office is opposite the Gladstone postoffice; Come down and he will
be glad to take you all over these beautiful lots.
