and manufacturing interest is culled to
the work ol Oregon City board of trade
through It special committee on exploit
ation. The committee wants to obtain
samples of every mineral found in the
county. Ol the clays the samples should
be laige enough so that working texts can
be made to ascertain their value. The
various mineral SNclmens should be
plainly lalnded with thn name of the
donor, the location from where taken,
the apparent quantity Insight and any
oilier data relative to their value.
The board of trade would also like to
have samples of the various kinds of
manufactured articles of every class and
description.
For the agricultural exhibit farmers
should commence preparing now. As
their prodticts mature the board wants
samples sent in properly labeled and
the board asks the farmers to plant and
cultivate with that end in view. Tbev
want to maintain a permanent exhibit
here In Oregon City and also mean lo
have the best county exhibit at the
Industrial fair in Portland next fall.
Tliev also contemplate showing the
exhibit F.asl at points whero they think
the greatest good will accrue lo Clacka

This la a matter in which all cltixens
of this county are directly Interested and
each one should endeavor to further the
cause and insure the success of the
undertaking.
The members of the committee are:

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that la
catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken Internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucus Burfuces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con

its work. The proprietors have so much

cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The county seat of Clackamas county
situated on the Willamette river about
twenty-four miles above it confluence
with the Columbia river and half that
tlintaiice above the city of Portland, The
site upon which Oregon City is located
I one of the in out picturesque on the
continent. A bamtlt ridge extends
across the valley, connecting the Cas
cade and Coast mountain ranges, and
the Willamette river, tumbling over this
basalt ledge forma the falls that Induced
the locating of the town here. The falls
are semi-circular in shsie and measure
about half a mile from shore to shore.
There are three or four small rock
Inlands at the brink of the cataract, di
viding the stream so that the water does
not pour over in one body. Oregon
City, unlike most western towns, lias
never experienced the ups and down of
a forced boom with Its demoralizing
effects. The growth of the town has
been steady and permanent, baaed op
en actual demand, and what is found
here can be accounted for uon that
basis of exinting to aujiply a present in
stead of a protqx-ctive demand.
Factories are located on both sides of
the river but the main buidiicK portion
of the city ll on a flat on the eaxt side
between the stream and a rock bluff that
rises vertically eighty feet, two blocks
back from the river. This bluiT enlen
the city at III south side and extends
nearly two-thlrdi the distance through
the town parallel with the river. A sus-N-nion
bridge 1000 feet long spam the
river at a height of nearly a hundred
feet above the water.
The picturesque beauty of the locality
is one of the greatest attractions at Ore
gon City. The falls are not simply a
series of rapids, but the whole mighty
volume of the Willamette river plungei
down a precipitous clilT ol solid baaalt,
forming a cataract that is truly magnifi
cent in its beauty and power. Itelow
the (alls the river flow la-tween veriical
walls ol solid rock twenty to fifty feet
tall, In which that peculiar columnar
form which baaaltic rock sometime
takes ii seen. At this point tlit river
flows nearly northwest receiving the
Clackamas and turning to the north
just beyond the northern tinea of the
city. The two elevated shelves on the
east and south aud the rising ground
on the west, quite changes the monoton
ous asect presented by mol town and
give from ever part of the city com
mand ol an outlook of charming beauty
and granduer.
The city is well governed and econom
ically administered. Public school
facilities Include seven school houses and
thirty teachers, all of the schools
bring graded. Several churches, of dif
ferent denominations, have creditable
edillces and tho talent in the pulpits it
above the average in towns of this Bize.
The city is well supplied with fraternal
and benevolent orders all in good
financial standing.
living the seat of Justice of so largo a
county Oregon City has many advant
ages in the way of trade and influence
that it would not otherwlae have. The
county court house is a fine structure
costing $10,000. Thn county court holds
session monthly and the circuit ec.uit
seuii-annually in April and November.
The free suspension bridge over the
Willamette river at this point was built
by the county at a cost of nearly $30,
000, About $30,000 are paid out monthly in
wages in Oregon City. This money
goes to employes of the Electric Com
pany, of the woolen mill, the annual
output of which exceeds $750,000, of the
flouring mills, having a capacity of 1100
barrels a day, ol the papor and pulp
mills turning out an annual product ol
about 30,000 tons, one of the mills being
the largest on tho Pacitlc coast, and of a
number of other manufacturing con
cerns. The value of the annual product
af these manufacturing plants is about
$2,000,000.
Oregon City has practically the same
facilities for transportation as Portland.
Stestners ply regularly on the river at
all seasons of the year. The Southern
Pacific railroad passes through tl-e city
and for commodities that may be
shipped by rail to better advantage than
by boat, there is every facility for hand
ling. The city reaps every advantage that
can accrue from tho influence of cheap
water traitsportatian. Not only does
the river furnish an additional avenue
for tralllc, but it operates to keep the
railroad rates down to the lowest notch
which to a manufacturing town is quite
as important as the ability of the
stream to carry freight.
While Oregon City is justly proud of
her business enterprises and the out
look for the future is certainly good, it
is only fair to state that there are suf
ficient business concerns of every size
and character for prosont business needs,
thai there is suHicient labor here to fill
market demands. The city it growing
and there are good Inducement! held out
to investors. The field is as yet only half
occupied and the resources of the sur
rounding country and advantages of the
town afford excellent opportunities for
entalilinlilng mills and manufactories. !

OKKOOK UTV'S WATKB I'OWKK. j
Oregon City Is rapidly pushing to the
frontal a manufacturing center. The
value of the products now manufactur
ed here annually aggregates millions.
The fall of the Willamette river at thii
point are not only beautiful and pictur
esque beyond description, but ai a water
power for manufacturing purposes they
are especially well adapted. 1
United StaU-a engineers rettort that
the Willamette river discharges into the
Columbia 15,000 cubic feet of water per
second. The only tributary it receive",
below Oregon City is the Clackamas
river, which doe not discharge more
than 27(H) cubic feet of water per second.
ISoth these computations are for the
lowest stage of the river during the dry
season. Thus the volume oi water flow
nig over the falls is 12 30) cubic feet per
second. The vertical height la forty
feet. So lite capacity of the water
power of the Willamette falls at the
lowest stage of water is about 50,000
horse power based on the discharge at
the mouth of the river, about 24 miles
below the falls, is the most accurate
statement obtainable.
During most of the year the power is
several times the minimum above
stated. There has been comparitively
liltlo development of the Oregon City
water power, about 10,000 horse-power
ii now being used in manufacturing
here and it can be safely and truly stated
that there is no more advantageous
point in the entire Northwest for the lo
cation of factories than at Oregon City.
A city whoe life and growth depends on
commerce may possess many elements
of strength but it can not compare in
stability with a town having superior
manufacturing advantages. The value
of a natural power like that of Oregon
City can hardly be calculated.
