OREGON CITY COURIER, THURSDAY ' JAN. 1, 1914.
BURNS GROCERY STORE ,
MODEL OF EXCELLENCE
Gladstone Firm is Known as Modern
and Sanitary Establish
ment to All
The Gladstone spirit of' energy,
progress and being thoroughly up-
to-date is reflected in the business
and policy of the D. S. Burns Grocery
Company of that enterprising city;
and as a result there has developed
there one of the most modern and
completely equipped stores of this
kind to be found outside ol l'ortiana
Cleanliness and adequate service are
the two paramount rules of the con
cern: and combined with this is the
determination to give patrons nothing
but the best. This system has re
sulted in the steady growth of the
Burns store, and in a constat in
crease in patronage.
Cleanlines in regard to the foods
of the people is one the slogans of
the present day, and at the Uurns
Grocery every effort has been made
to have perfect sanitation the key
note. Modern glass showcases are
untilized for the display of staple
wears, and glass-topped boxes and
screened bins are used for fresh
vegetables and garden truck. Butter
and other creamery products are kept
apart from the balance of stock, ac
cording to the best practices of mo
dern stores. In addition to this all
goods carried by the store are of
selected grade, and the Burns Com
pany has the exclusive agency of the
superior brands of the household
supplies.
Through the employment of a
clerical force probably larger than
that maintained in any other grocery
store in the county quick service is
the rule at the Burns Grocery, and in
addition to this frequent deliveries
throughout Gladstone and the sur
rounding territory add to the satis
faction of patrons of the store. Tele
phone orders are promptly filled, and
special deliveries by messenger are
made whenever need, arises and a
hurry call for supplies is received at
the store. In fact the services given
by the Burns Company is easily the
equal of that of big metropolitan
stores.
Situated within half a mile of the
Willamette Chatauqua grounds, the
Burns store has come to be head
quarters for the campers who an
nually flock to this vacation ground,
and in this connection the special
delivery system of the Burns Com
pany has proved of ' special service
and convenience to the pleasure seek
ers. Groceries and supplies needed
at the camp are sent out immediately
upon being ordered, thus increasing
the enjoyment of outdoor life, and
assuring plenty to satisfy "summer
appetites."
Immediately adjoining the Burns
store is the company's privater ware
house, in which ample stock of the
heavier and more bulky goods car
ried are kept. Fresh vegetables,
fruits and eggs are obtained each
morning from the many gardens and
farms that surround Gladstone, and
as a result patrons of the Bilrns Com
pany eniov the rare nrivilecre of liv
ing amidst city , conveniences ' and
having the best and most delicious
of things to eat.
The Burns Company is a family
concern, and a personal interest in
the .business is taken by each mem
ber. This, of course, adds to the
IT
J. J.
excellence of the store's service, and
insures a closer and more courteous
relation between the patrons of the
store and the members of the firm.
WANTED, MEN OF THE SOIL.
Oregon is full of Opportunities for
the Farm and Home Maker.
Winter snows seldom fall; Jack
Frost touches lightly; roses are in
bloom and bud at this writing; the
summers are famous for their per
fect climate; electric storms are al
most unknown; there are no cyclones,
or heavy winds, and very little wind
at all. Never very hot, never very
cold. The mountain shut out the
eastern cold and the Pacific brings
in the western warmth.
The soil is the richest, and almost
anything that grows can be grown
bigger and better here than any sec
tion in the United States. It was
recently printed in a magazine that
the Willamette Valley, under inten
sified cultivation, could feed the
nation.
And one trouble with the Willa
mette Valley is that it has too much
that men want, and it brings here too
many men the locality doesn't want.
Western Oregon is new, and Clac
kamas county is almost untouched.
What it wants is farmers, home
builders, land clearers men with
some money and more sand, workers,
stickers.
If you are a laboring man, looking
for work, don's come to Oregon. Our
climate has induced far too many to
come here now. There is not enough
work for those who are here. If you
are looking for a job, the chances .
are better of , finding it where you j
are. You can't live on climate, even I
in Oregon.
But if you have some money, are (
tun 01 nara days worn, ana want to
make a farm out of the richest soil
that ever covered the earth; Clacka
mas county is full of places.
Oregon wants men to develop its
rich country, to clear up its logged
off lands and make of it farms and
homes. The day is coming when it
will be the Garden of Eden of the
Pacific. If you are of this class of
men, Clackamas county wants you,
and wants many like you. It has ev
erything to offer to the man of the
soil, and little to offer the man of
the streets.
NAMED NATIONAL DIRECTOR
William Grisenthwaite of Beaver
Creek gets High Honor
Official notice was received by the
state offcials Monday that William
Grisenthwaite of Beaver Creek, pres
ident of the state Farmers' Society
of Equity had been elected to the
national board of directors at In
dianapolis, Ind. .
This is some honor' to a Clackamas
county man, and well earned. Mr.
Grisenthwaite jumped into the Equity
work when its organization was start
ed in the state a little over a year ago
and he has worked hard, many times
in the face of all kinds of discourage
ments, to get the society in working
order and keep it there. As state
president he has made fully good,
and on the national board of directors
you may be dead sure Oregon will
be heard from. '

DIMICK'S SLOGAN 'PROGRESS
Well Known Attorney Thinks
Farmers May Gain Much ; '
From Better Stock
Preaching the doctrine of the ad
vantage of pure-blood stock for all
purposes on the farm, Judge Grant
B. Dimick is conducting a model stock
ranch for the benefit of farmers and
dairymen of Clackamas and Marion
counties. Mr. Dimick maintains a
dairy herd that is an example for all,
and cream from which is eagerly
bought by one of the most particular
Portland dairying firms. He also is
one of the chief raisers of Poland
China hogs in the Northwest, and
with his exhibits of these animals has
won many prizes at county and state
fairs and the Portland stock show.
On his ranch Judge Dimick is con
stantly demonstrating that pure
strain blooded stock is more effcient
in every way for farm purposes; and
is also of a higher market value when
selling is! taken into consideration.
His work for the bettering of stock
has borne much fruit in this section,
and to a large extent his efforts have
been responsible for the very general
improvement in dairy and farm ani
mals in this county.
Aside from his stock farming,
Judge Dimick "has a large legal prac
tice in Oregon City, has a record of
public service in city and county
office to his credit, and is a candidate
for the republican nomination for
governor at the coming election. He
is widely known throughout the state;
and has of recent years been promi
nently identified with the planning
and construction of the Clackamas
Southern Railroad from Oregon City
to interior county points.
OAK GROVE TAKES ACTION
Passes Resolutions Favoring Pacific
Highway Aid on West Side ,
The following resolutions were ad
opted by the Oak Grove Commercial
Club at a meeting held Dec. 13. "
Whereas the last Oregon legislat
ure passed a bill providing for the
levy of a quarter of a mill, tax on the
property in the state, which levy
would raise about $238,000.00 which
is to be spent on roads within the
state, and
Whereas the Pacific Highway is a
main road leading from Alaska to
Mexico and passing thru Oregon,
Washington and California, and di
rectly thru Clackamas County, and
Whereas efforts have been made to
divert the course of the said highway
as now laid out thru Clackamas Coun
ty, to a location further west and
passing thru Newburg, and
Whereas we realize the great bene
fit to the farmers which would accrue
from the creation of a good hard
surfaced road from the North to the
South line of Clackamas County, and
also the great benefit that it would
be in bringing tourist traffic right
thru the heart of our county,
Therefore be it resolved that The
Oak Grove Commercial Club ask the
County Court of Clackamas County,
to apply to the State Highway Com
found
TUT A
j
mission for a portion of said $238,
000.00 highway fund to be expended
on the Pacific, Highway in Clackamas
County,
Be it further resolved that the
Oak Grove Commercial Club express
to the County Court our deep inter
est in this movement, and that we ten
der them our hearthy support in any
action they may take in furtherance
of this great cause. ' '
Be it further resolved that' these
resolutions be made a part of the
minutes, and a copy thereof be sent
to the County Court.
CONFIDENCE KEYSTONE
OF ADAM'S BUSINESS
Reputation of Local Store Has Been
Built by Effort to Give Value
Many Clackamas County folk,
when forced to "go shopping" make
it a rule to go first to L. Adam's
department store at Main and Sventh
Streets, mainly because they have
learned that there they will be ac
corded not only courteous reception,
but will be given goods or merchan
dise that is just as represented. It
has alweys been the policy of Mr.
Adams, to tell his patrons just what
they were buying, and in addition to
this it has been the working plan of
the store to refund money or wil
lingly make exchanges whenever a
customer was dissatisfied with a pur
chase. "We are running our business on
the best and broadest lines possible,"
said Mr. Adams recently, "and our
building up trade and keeping it is
never to over-rate goods. Naturally
in a store like ours we have to carry
all lines of material, but we make it
a point never to boost inferior goods
or to claim that they are just as good
as something better. If a person
wants to' buy cheap material we will
sell it, but we tell the purchaser at
the time that what they are buying
is not' as good as what they could
procure for a higher price."
This has been the keynote of Mr.
Adam's success, and has enabled him
to gradually enlarge his department
store, untill it is today one of the
best stocked stores in the county.
Standard lines of goods in all grades
are carried, and aside from this cer
tain special lines are carried by the
Adams store exclusively. Among
this latter class of goods may be
mentioned the famous Dougherty
shoes, made in Oregon, and sold with
the Adams guarantee as to their
merit.
The Adams department store also
carries a full line of dry goods, no
tions, underwear and dress goods,
while separate departments are devot
ed exclusively to shoes, men's cloth
ing, women's suits and cloaks and
millinery. Trere is also a splendid
ly equipped furniture and household
goods department, where every thing
for the home may be found at the
most reasonable of prices. ,

LAW FIRM WIDELY KNOWN
U'Ren & Schuebel Among the Leaders
at the Bar, as well as in Politics
"What would I sa'y, briefly, was
our business ? Well, I guess it would
be safe to say that we deal in law,
loans and politics. And that goes
for both Mr Schuebel and myself"
That is the. way Mr. U'Ren, father
of the initiative and referendum and
usually blamed or honored for the
entirety of what is -known as "the
Oregam system" expressed a sum
mary of the activities of himself and
his partner, Chris Schuebel, both
noted as Oregon City attorneys. As
lawyers both men have made repu
tations that have reached far ' itside
their home state, and both o ' ""n
have seen service in the statj lasrW
lature and in other political fmid3.

Mr. U'Ren, senior membn- ?f tie
firm, is one of those at present seek
ing the republican nominat'on for the
governorship, and his ffiends say
that they are sure he will obtain the
honor. His record as (. leader in;
progressive government has made ;
him already prominent i.1 the state's
affairs, and his .contributions to the
history of past campaigns has shown
that he's a power to be reckoned with.
Beyond the borders of the state Mr.
U'Ren has been accorled even more
honors thanat home, aud has been
eagerly sought as an exponent of the
initiative and referer Jv-rn, the rocall
and other modern j :;' sri axe
being rapidly adopted in all cu..i
munities. As an attorney Mr. U'Ren has
shown himself a master of the in
tricacies of the law, and his quick
wit has made him famous in more
than many instances. As a public
speaker he is also well known, and
his forceful yet gently, ironical style
has made him a prime favorite with
his audiences.
Sues County for $5,200
T. Nicoli who lives near Estacada.

and was hunting without proper game
license in November, of this year. He

in December before Justice of the
Peace W. Given, of Estacada, and the

GLADSTONE STORE GROWS
Freytag's Favorably Known as Pro
gressive Merchant of .Neighboring
City
Eight years ago R. Freytag open
ed a small grocery store in Gladstone.
The goods that he offered for sale
were the best to be had, and his
prices were reasonable. Today Mr.
Freytag conducts a large general
merchandise store in the same place
and the goods that he offers for sale
are still the best that are to be had.
People know this, and they patronize
him liberally.
Still retaining his grocery store,.
he has merged this as a department
in his larger enterprise, and aside
from carrying a complete stock of
Eatables and cookables, Mr. Freytag
carries an excellent supply of dry
goods, shoes, notions and hardware.
As an annex to his store he main
tains a confectionary and refreshment
parlor that is the mecca in summer
time of the many who delight in cool
ing drinks of soda water or delicious
dishes of ice cream.
A delivery service is also a part
of the Freytag scheme, and excellent
service is given patrons in all parts
of Gladstone and in the surrounding
communities, where in many homes j
"Get it at Freytag's" is the house
hold motto.
