It is not iiitcndi'd that tlio 1(H) lots hIiuII h sclnctcd in out of the way places,
or shall ho of inferior or even second quality, hut in each instance, tlie
purchaser inaken hU or her own Helection. with only two reservations: tho first
four lotH from tlio motor line are reserved, ami a party only buying one lot
can not select the corner.
Parties living at a distance can send their payments to mo or to the Bank of
Oregon City, and it will he held until final payments are made, when a war
ranty deed will ho promptly executed and on abstract of title furnished, when
required, slnwing a fee simple title in the purchaser, free of all incum
brances. Absolute good faith will be kept with all parties and the utmost
ellbrt will be made to please and satisfy every one.
To prove our faith in the future of Gladstone, wo make this proposition to
all purchasers: The Association, when final payments are made, will upon
receiving HO days prior notice thereof, incase of dissatisfaction, pay back tho
entire purchase money, with $25 per lot additional. This will only apply to
sales made before June 1st, 1001.
We feel that this is an entirely pafe proposition, for in our candid judgment
no lot will he sold that is not worth double the money at the present moment
(iladstone is on tho O. W. V.Sc Ky Company's motor line, a short mile north
of Oregon City. Kive cent faro to Oregon City and 15 cent fare to Portland,

TRAVELLED 130 MILES Ptlt HOUR
(Jraplc Account or the Ilerliu-Zossen
Record Ruti.
The attainment of ,tbe speed of 130
miles au hour on the'high-speed e ectric
road from Berlin to ZosHen, which has
been duly chronicled in these columus,
has probably canned many of our readers
10 wonder j.ist how t! men In the cab
felt when they saw poleH and trees flying
pant. It happens that Dr. Heichel, one
of the engineers who was in the car at
the time 1; made its hisiorical run, imli
litdied in a Berlin weekly a very good ac
count of the experience of thone who
conducted the experiment!'. We trans
late the more Htrikinu portions:
"All prepaiations have been made; a
brake tent has been carried out: the eie
gineers have climbed Into the car; and
the military posts along the road have
been inhumed that the car is soon to
start. The molorman turns the con
troller very slow ly through afew degrees.
Fourteen thousand volts choot from the
lines lo the mo'ors. With a whirr the
cur fctarts on us memorable journey from
Mnrieufelde at twenty-five minutes after
nine o'clock. The overhead wires are
swaying in a strong wind. As the car
travels on, Ihe strength of the electrical
cuirent fed to each ol the four motors is
gradually increased to 00O anioeres. In
other words, 2,:!D0 kilowatts, or 2,600
mechanical horse power, are being ex
pended. A mile and a quarter has been
covered. The speed indicator shows a
velocity of seventy-live miles an hour.
When Lichtenrade is reached, aloiit half
a mile further on, the car is rushing on
at i)4 miles an hour. Each second the
speed increases. Just before the station
of Mahlow appears, a curve of 0,560 feet
radius looms up. The speed is now 109
miles an hour. We gneiu to be leaping
toward the cuive. No bend can be seen ;
the track apparently ends abruptly. We
know there is a curve, and yet we are
anxious; we brace ourselves lor a shock.
Just as we reach the curve the track
seems to bend into a gentle arc into
which the cur runs easily.
"The curve is passed. About a mile
ahead of us a safely signal can be seen.
We climb a grade of 20 feet to the mile
Blight, to tie sure, and yet to ascend it at
full speed we must expend .'iOO horse
power more. The train is living on
faster and (aster. We rush through
M 11I1 low (4 miles from MarieuMde) at a
speed of 115 miles an hour. No vibra
tion or shock is felt. It seems as if the
c.ir itself were not movim: as if build
ings, poles, trees, were llickerint past.
Only the huimnini: of the wheels assures
us that it is we who are moving. The
voltmeter shows that the current collec
tors are doinu their work smoothly. No
fMr of increasing the speed need be felt.
The hist resistances of the controller are
uradually cut out under the loud of 2,"tH)
kilowatts. The linger of the sceed in
dicator slips along tn a mark which
shows that the car is making 121 miles
an hour. At every crossing a loud ring
inif note can he heard, caused by the
wheels.
''Fragments of ballast as large as wal
nuts are sucked up into the air and fall
buck s the train rushes mi. At tirt'
the 1 -. J is hew ll'lermi!, allfi'iM stupely i
mg. We in tlie can are mucii nearer
!h trm k tli:in it Ihe engineer of a Htesm
loeninoiive u that account it seems
at first s if the cur is lilerally devouring
the road by the mile, (iradiully we be
come Kcctitdoiiied to the new sensation.
The feeling of safety and comfort which
overcomes the first shock ol amazement
gives rise to the desire fo travel still
later. After the 120 'oile an hour mark
linn been iasei, the excitement in tli 1
car becomes intense Not a word is
rpoken. Only the flirk .of the wheels
over Ihe rails is heiru. Kvery eye that
is not fssieiied on the speed indicator is
glued on tbe trai k. Suddenly, at a dist
ance, ol about half a mile, we see two
men unconcernedly standing in the mid
dle of the road calmly awainrig the car.
The niotorman jumps for the whistle
string. As tbe danger signal shrieks,
tbe two men on the track turn about I
with a frightened look, and then flee for
their lives. No power on earth can stop
this OIJ ton car withm a mile.
"We whizz past the town ot Dahlwitz
Dust, sand, and large pebbles leap up
behind us. We just catch a glimpse of
people on the station throwing up their
hatsinioy. Suddenly a smashing blow
is heard against the window of the cab,
as if a man brought bis fist heavily down
uiio stable. It was a bird, overtaken
in its flight and killed. The 8ieed indi
cator finger climbs up past the 124-mlle
mark. Kangsdorl is only 1 unlet a way
(8.6 miles from Marienfeld). It is soon
time lo shut off the current. Unless the
4,000 horsepower engine at the power
Ma'ion at Uhernpree does not help us,
we shall not reach the speed for which
we are all hoping. The engineers at the
power house have not forgotten us. The
finger of the speed indicator, as we near
Itangsdorf, move just a little further.
And so we cover the last mile which we
still have before catting off power, at top
notch speed, using up 1,400 kilowatts,
or 1,600 horse power. A quarter of a
mile before reaching the curve near
Kangsdorl, we shut off tbe current and
apply the full power of the brakes. Tbe
speed of the car drops to 102 miles. Ths
curve is rounded id a noble swing. The
brake is released, and the car glides
along under its own momentum without
any current whatever until Zossen is
reached. In eight minutes we ,have
leaped from Manenfelde to Zossen. We
crowd around the telegraph instruments
which have recorded a speed never be
fore attained in the annals of railroading.
The telegrapher can hardly attend to his
instruments, so many beads are pressing
about liiin. Finally he succeeds in read
ing off the record 130.4 miles an hour.
Everyone smiles; hands are shaken,
congratulations exchanged. An officer
rushes off to tbe telegraph station to an
nounce 10 His Majesty tbe Kaiser the
feat which German engineers have suc
ceeded in performing.

with flies, bees, and small insects.

SOME OF TALKXI
Atf ructions iicJnij Signed for
Next Year's Chautauqua.
Riclmril lYars'iii Unburn, of Mar.il
Fame, Will I rubahly he Here.
Ilute uf .MeellDg.
II. K. Cross, maiisger of the Pacific
Coast Chautauqua Assemblies, returned
home last Monday night alter a trip to
San F'rancisco on business connected
with the work of the Chautauqua Assem
blies of the coast, says the Telegram cor
respondent. He reports that the work
of the managers of the various Pacific
associations was most successful and
that everything points to well-attended
assemblies this Summer, as the best of
talent has been chosen. It is practically
a certainty that the ltev. Newell Dwight
llilhs, pastor of Plymouth church, at
Brooklyn, successor of Henry Ward
Beecher, and who is probably the best
known preacher of the country today,
will be a feature of the assembles of tbe
coast.
Richmond Pearson Hobson will also
come to the coast during the coming
Chautauqua season, and will lecture at
the Gladstone assembly 011 subjects con
nected with the navy. Stanley L.
Krehbs, a mindreader and adept in sim
ilar lines of entertainment, has been se
cured, as has also Lou J. Beaucbamp,
known as "Tbe Laughing Philosopher."
Messrs. Krebbs and iieaucbamp come
to the coast with the very best recom
mendations. Not all the talent lor tbe
coming session at Gladstone Park has
yet been determined, bat more will be
known about it as soon as tbe directors
of the local association have a meeting,
which will be in the course of a few days.
The dates for the assembly at Gladstone
have been fixed from July 12 to 24, inclusive.
Mr. Cross says be saw nj evidence of
hard times or financial depression in
California. Business seemed to be good,
crops excellent, and the people appeared
to be prosperous. He states that the oil
yield in California during tbe coming
year is estimated to exceed that of any
other state, it bein-r thought that tbe
yield of the Golden State will equal 23,
000,000 barrels. Heretofoie Ohio has
led the other states, producing 18,000,000
barrels last year. He found many big
buildings being erected in San Francisco,
but states that in Los Angeles there ex
isted a building boom, there having
been erected during tbe past year 7000
buildings.
RESORT FOR YOCJiG MES.
Oregon City T. M. C. A. Has Again
Opened 1U Doors.
The Young .Men's Christian Associa
tion of Oregon City opened its doors this
week fcr the-winter's work and will offer
a place of rest, recreation, and self-improvement
for the young men of (bis
city. For some time past there has
been an urgent demand for a free read
ing room and place where the men could
have opportunity to pass ttie evenings
w ithout being compelled to enter the sa
loons or other questionable resorts. The
lines of work to be carried on will be as
follows:
A public reading room, where a goodlv
number of the latest magazines and
newspapers will be kept on tile; also a
number of standard books by popular
authors, books of reference, etc. All men
are welcome to this room from e ght
o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock
In the evening.
A game room for members, which will
be supplied with ping pong, chess, check
ers, crockinole, chrolard, etc.
The gymnasium in which systematic
exercise, with or without the apparatus,
basket ball, indoor baseball, games and
contests, will be of much interest and
improvement to the members who par
ticipate. Already a number of patients
have been sent to the association for
work in this departmeut by physicians of
this city.
Baths are free to members and may
be taken at any time after noon . Last
year this department was used very ex
tensively and the outlook seems to indi
cate a greater patronage this winter.
Educational work will be an important
factor also, and classes will be formed im
mediately after the holidays in b ok keep
ing, shorthand, typewriting, arithmetic,
and probably in vocal music. Last year
over sixty enrollments were entered.
All work except the music is carried on
in the same methods that are used in
the business colleges and any student
may go as fast or as slow as his ability
and' opportunity may determine.
Entertainments of various sorts will
be a part of the program, but only those
of real value and worthy of patronage
will be offered to the public.
The religious work 01 the association
has not been fully outlined, but it is
Known that bible classes will be organ
ized and made a specialty. Other lines
will be taken up as they may be consid
ered advisable.
All are welcome to the rooms and vis
itors will be shown through the building
and have the work explained to them
with the utmost couttesv.

MR. MILLAS DEFI.US HIS POLICY,
And at tbe Same Time Hands Ills Com
pliments to Mllwankle "Citizens."
Editob Entcbpkisb : la your last
week's issue you publish an article on
the Milwaukie election and the policy of
the two parties, in which tbe statement
is made that I. S. Mullan, the nominee
for mayor on the Independent ticket,
was in favor ot having electric lights,
city water and sidewalks, even though
we bad to throw city in debt to accom
plish same.
Now, 1 want it distinctly understood
that I have at no time made any such
statement, or is it the polii y of our sup
porters. My policy would be to mage
all improvements by a petition signed
by a majority of the taxpayers of the
town, and if such a policy is used there
will be harmony.
The Independent ticket was nominated
and supported by the taxpayers of the
town, uf which there are les than 50 le
gal voters, while the so-called citizens
ticTiet was supported by the employes of
the 0. W. P. R. Co. To make their
ticket win Mr. Boyton, the assistant su
perintendent, and Dimick, the dispatch
er, were in town all day and marked
sample ballots for their men, and escort
ed each and every man to the polls.
There being about 45 car men who voted
it was an easy matter for the citizens
ticket, or O. W. P. Ry. ticket, whichever
it was, to have a majority.
Personally, I do not wish to make a
kick against the administration and hope
they will try tbis time to do something
to show the taxpayers that they have
come to life. Mayor Schindler may be
proud of that cash balance of $50 received
lately b the hard rustling of Marshal
Keck in collecting poll tax. Wbilethere
was over $300 collected, there were only
two appropriations made both for f20
each or 40 in all. Tbe balance has
been used as funds for incorporation and
other incidentals.
Respectfully yours,
I. C. MULLAS.
