1I0IIS SMALL FRUITS IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY
TO
G R LI IV
ABUNDANTLY
ABSOLUTE
PERFEGT ON
ALWAYS MEET WITH POPULAR FAVOR
Small fruit culture has been de
veloped to quite an extent in Clacka
mas County in the past few years,
but is yet in it's infancy so far as
possibilities are concerned. There is
no industry in which tfiere is greater'
opportunities for development than In
the growing of small fruit in this
county. Intelligent culture means
certain success, for our land will pro
duce all kinds of small fruits of the
highest quality.
Cherries, grapes and all kinds of
berries are successfully grown here
and are above the standard in flavor
and size, always bringing the highest
market prices. The local markets
eagerly absorb all the berries that are
produced, and no difficulty is found in
disposing of the crop at a handsome
price.
The small fruit grower begins to
market his product about May 15, and
from then until November 1st, he has
something to sell. One variety fol
lowing he othtV in quick succession.
Thus it can be seen that the grower
has a steady income from his labors
and efforts for six months of the
year off of small fruit alone.
Science has enabled the grower to
successfully combat dangerous tree
and vine diseases. Improved trans
portation facilities and service will
help to develop and hold new markets.
Enterprise and intelligent action will
enable Clackamas County to long
maintain its position and reputation
as being one of the most favored sec
tions in the United States for the
growing of small fruits of all kinds.
This county has the soil and climate
for this branch of industry, and awaits
for more men to engage in this money
making enterprise.-

Lambert Cherries Crown in Clackamas County
The spirit of unrest which now pre
vails in the eastern states seems to
have contributed to a widespread de
sire for a change of base, and as the
"Star of Empire" courses its way
westward, all eyes are turned to the
golden shores of the setting sun. To
the broad acres of fertile soil, mild
and healthful climate, undeveloped
natural resources and business oppor
tunities for some sign of encourage
ment and all ears listen for tidings
from this land of promise. The suc
cess of the homeseeker in this section
of "Uncle Sam's" broad domain has
inspired multitudes to follow and try
anew their fortunes, where success has
crowned the efforts of all who have
gone before.
To Clackamas County may the
eyes of all those who desire a broad
field for investment be turned, for
here opportunity -awaits the man of
energy and a sufficient amount of
capital to start with. She has broad
acres of fertile soil, a mild and health
ful climate, plenty of good water and
all natural resources to engage in a
profitable industry. People who came
here only a few years ago have reaped
a golden harvest from her soil and re
sources, and the right kind of a man
has the same opportunity today.
LP.
DEDMAN
' When writing about Clakamas
County and describing its wonderful
resources and advantages, it is also
appropriate to bring into prominence
some of our county officials, and by
so doing prompts us to speak of Mr.
E. P. Dedman, who is serving the
people in the capacity of Recorder,
and who is a man especially qualified
for this office.
Mr. Dedman was born in Clark
County, Missouri. He came to Clack'
amas County in 1878, where he hay
resided ever since, and during his
residence here he has many times
proven his interest in this county
by identifying himself with move
ments which have resulted in true
prosperity and progress. He is a
man well known and highly esteemed
by all, always lending his best efforts
in the interest of Clackamas Coi'nty,
Should Mr. Dedman come before the
people of Clackamas County at the
next election for a second term, he
will be able to show a record for abil
ity and devoted duty to this office,
which will carry a sufficient desire
among the people to replace him in
the office which he has filled in such
an able manner.

If one would call to mind the incep
tion of the establishment of Pope &
Company, they would have to go back
to the earliest days of Oregon City,
for without an exception this is the
oldest established business house in
this city. For more than one-half
of a century it has helped to supply
the citizens of this vicinity with shelf
and heavy hardware, stoves, ranges,
tinware, utlery and in fact every
thing that is handled by a first class
hardware store. During these many
years of business activity the house
has always enjoyed the highest repu
tation for honest and upright business
methods, and stands today as a noble
pioneer business institution of Oregoi.

versity of Oregon in May 1912, and
was admitted to the bar in June of
the same year. He has been very
successful in his profession and is

his ability as an attorney. He is a

best nation in the world we might
go farther and Bay in the best
world.

Pacific digbivay
Garage
One of The Mst Modern In
dustries of Its Kind In
The State
The increasing number of automo
biles now being turned out by the
large factories, and used by the people
throughout the United States, makes
the business of a Garage one of great
importance to every city and town in
the country. Like every other branch
of industry, Oregon City is not be
hind any other town of this size when
it comes to laying claim to a modern
garage.
To prove this statement, it is nec
essary for us to bring into prominence
the Pacific Highway Garage, owned
by W. A. Huntley, C. S. Herman, and
M. E. Parks. The quarters occupied
comprise about 7000 feet of space,
provided with every modern equip
ment known to this branch of indus
try. In fact, it is probably-the largest
and most modern garage in the state
outside of Portland, and will compare
favorably" with any found in that city.
In the modern and well equipped
sales-room, which has a floor space
of about 2000 feet, is carried a full
line of automobile accessories and
supplies of all kinds, embracing the
leading and most celebrated' makes on
the market. All supplies carried by
this house are of a standard brand,
durable in quality and honest in price.
This firm has the agency for the
Studebaker automobiles and the cele
brated Ford machines, which are the
universal car of today . The popu
larity of these makes in Clackamas
county is shown by the fact, that they
sold forty-five Fords and six Stude
baker machines last season. They
have contracted for 80 Fords and 16
Studebaker cars for this season, and
have already taken delivery on ' 17
of the Ford cars, of which nine have
already been sold. These machines
have been purchased by some of the
leading and most prominent citizens
of Oregon City, who appreciate the
values and unsurpassed service of
these celebrated makes. From every
standpoint the Pacific Highway Ga
rage is an industry that reflects credit
upon Oregon City.
"With Five Acres You Are Independent
And Wtih Ten Acres You Are Rich"
IS THE BATTLE CR.Y OF THE NORTHWESTERN ASSOCIATION
"Back to the soil" with independ
ence is the desire of thousands of the
toilers in the big cities of our coun
try and yet how few there are who
can ever hope to realize their dream.
Independence is on the "Land" and
the only way for the wage earner to
get there is by cooperation, but of-
times cooperation fails because of in
experienced men at the helm.
you to help yourself to a "Home" and
independence. The Association is un
doubtedly making money and so will
its purchasers. What better returns
could be expected from an investment
than a yearly income equal to the
amount of such investment.
The writer after careful investiga
tion says that Twelve Hundred and
Fifty Dollars net per year may be ex-
stand the cultivation and production
of fruit trees and all branches of agri
culture incident thereto. They are
earnest, enthusiastic, energetic men
with an ambition to see hundmHa nt
families enjoying the benefits to be
aerivea irom nomes and orchards in
this great undeveloped country.
Rare iuderment has been shown in
the selection of location f land for
Dunmirt s
Grocery Store
The 'words of "Success and Pro
gress',' have been interwoven in the
career of Dunmire's Grocery since
its inception in our city some fifteen
months ago. The success of the
house has been due to several reasons,
chief among which has been honor
able dealing, courteous treatment and
a progressive spirit. This together
with always handling a well selected
stock of goods has resulted in a large
patronage and the confidence of the
public. ,
Thp. store is located at Fourteenth
and Main streets, and bears every
evidence of a modern and growing
grocery establishment The stock
embraces a line or staple ana iancy
which have been carefully
selected in reference to their purity
and quality, also feed and produe is
carried by t!he house, and all sold at
thn lowest market orices. Since this
store opened its doors for business it
seemed to leap into popular ravor,
and has held its first customers, add
ing new ones to the list every day.
This fact alone gives proof of the
popularity of the house, and shows
that the efforts of the management is
appreciated. Mr. Dunmire makes
every effort to please the patrons and
under these condition's Dunmire's
Grocery will continue it's popularity
as a trading place.
tbc Tails
ConUctitntry
In speaking of the business enter
prise known as The Falls, it can be
said that . in no town in the country
the size of Oregon City can there be
found an establishment of this kind
that is more creditable than this in
stitution. Deriving it's name from
the famous Willamette Falls, it's fame
a high class restaurant has become
equal importance to the citizens
Oregon City.
In the front part of the establish
ment will be found a handsome soda
fountain, where soft drinks are served
together with a display of fine can
dies and confectionery, while the rear
sriven up to the kitchen and attrac
tive dining room. The menu includes
the choicest the market affords, and
served m a manner which character
izes a modern restaurant The ar
rangement of the entire place is of
i artistic design, and is such as to
impel the admiration of all who
enter the doors of The Falls. The
lace is characterized by thorough
neatness and cleanliness, while the
service is of the hi chest standard. In
fact The Falls is in every way a most
creditable enterprise ol it's kind to
Oregon City. Mr. J. E. Bauer, who
recently taken charge of the'
business endeavors to conduct the
place upon the highest principles, and
his aim is to give to Oregon City an
establishment of this kind not sur
passed by any city of this size.
Coming West?
If you are coming west to find a
location where you can invest your
capital and get handsome returns-
then don't overlook Clackamas county,
for if you do, you will have passed up
your best opportunity.
Character of The Lands Owned by The Northwestern Association
Recognizing this and the need of
a business-like system of helping the
"workers" to the ownreship of five
or ten acres the Northwestern Asso
ciation perfected and put into opera
tion a plan that really helps you
to acquire a bearing apple orchard in
the beautiful Willamette Valley near
Oregon City, Oregon. Under it you
can purchase a five cere plot upon
pacted from a five-acre eight-year-old
apple orchard. In addition there
to a good profit can be derived from
small fruits and "garden truck grown
between the trees. Poultry thrive
here as nowhere else. Chickens are
in the open ninety per cent of the time
and feed on green stuff the entire
year. '
Over one hundred carloads of eggs

red shot of volcanic ash. origin ac
knowledged to be the very best for
the production of fruit and especially
apples. Nestled as their lands are on
the rolling benches in the foothills of
the Cascade Mountains at an eleva
tion of about 600 feet with a view of
three grand snow capped mountains,
Character of The Lands Owned by The Northwestern' Association
f 15.00 monthly payments. There is
no interest or taxes to pay unless pur
chaser occupys the land.
In the plan of the Northwestern
Association the writer sees great pos
sibilities for the wage earners located
as they are in the "Big Cities" of the
East. Here is the real opportunity
for a man desiring a home. Here is
genuine co-operation with a guaran
tee from a solid institution helping

ern states to supply local demand.
Poultry is a source of financial profit
to the orchardist and of great value
to the orchard. It is a poor hen that
will not produce $1.50 net profit per
year. One thousand hens can be kept
on a five acre plot.
The officers of the Association are
men of experience, business ability
and integrity who thoroughly under-
together with a glorious panorama of
the wonderful Willamette Valley with
its unsurpassed climate, surely here
is a prospect worth consideration.
The writer suggests that you write
to the Northwestern Association at
Oregon Ciy, asking them to give you
details of their plan. It may be the
means of helping you to a home and
independence in the . beautiful Wil
lamette Valley, Oregon.

Crawford Peaches As They Crow in Clackamas County
CITIES AS VARIOUS
PEOPLE SEE THEM
While Oregon Gty is Not Perfect in Many Things, Yet It Is
a Gty Above The Average of This Sise
No two persons see a town exactly
alike, and no two will agree in the de
scription of it The citizen views his
town in one light possibly an exag
gerated one the stranger views it
in another, and, also possibly an ex
aggerated one. Most people speak of
eities as they have found them, and
their descriptions of them will vary
as much as the temperment of the
writers vary.
Some have seen a place under dis
advantageous circumstances the
wind blowing, dust flying, etc. Such
a person's description of that place
is not likely to cause a stampede of
population to it. Others have seen
the same place when the sun vtes shin-
jng brilliantly, when all nature seemed
to be in accord with all that is best
in man, when the atmosphere was
pure and invigorating, the winds
lulled to sleep, no dust, and the people
thronging the streets and filling the
stores, optimistic in their views and
believing and saying: "There's no
place in the world as good as this."
A writer'a views obtained under such
circumstances are likely to be exager
ated to the other extreme, and a dis
appointment caused to those who
might be induced from the glowing
description to settle in that place. It
is not our intention to mis-represent
the facts about Oregon City, we only
speak of conditions as they exist, that
they may be beneficial to the man
seeking a new field of enterprise. Ore
gon City is not all perfect, for it ha
its drawbacks like all other cities, but
we will say that there are few other
towns in the country of this size that
is better all around than Oregon City.
