Real
Expansion in
Est ate7 Business
It has been apparent for some time that Clackamas County was not receiving
its just share of the immigration flowing into the State. This has come about
largely from the fact that other localities have made special effort, through local or-.
ganizations and in the distribution of literature, to induce and invite newcomers into
their respective counties. Clackamas County has to pay a large sum as its part ot
the appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fair, and it ought, in all good conscience,
to receive its proportion cf the awards in the way of new settlers to buy up our sur
plus lands, and aid inNthe building up of new industries.
For the purpose of helping myself, and directly and indirectly this great county,! have
opened a real estate ollice in Portland, at 233 Washington Street, Labbe building,
first iloor, and will be open for business on and after April 1st. Capt. James F.bhaw,
late of Hood River, who was associated with the real estate department ot my ottice
some years ago, will have charge of the Portland office, and will be a full partner m
the real estate department of the business, both in Portland and Oregon City. Hav
ing lived many years in Portland, Capt. Shaw has an intimate acquaintance with the
metropolis and its people. From now on we will have special opportunities lor sell
ing real estate left with us. We shall make a specialty of the following properties:
Clackamas County Lands
Oregon City Investments
Gladstone Property
Hood River Fruit & Berry Lands
And shall at all times try and attract capitalists to take advantage of the untold re
sources of this great county. ,We wish to increase our list of farms for sale and can
promise faithful and efficient service, ... . . . .
Would be pleased to have visitors to Portland call and get acquainted with
our plan of selling lands.

Well, the Democrat held thair county
convention in tin city Saturday. When
tli. ., mention heuan Hih trnnaaclion at
busineH thete were about 120 ol the 172
ImiviI ilelmatea in attendance. Before
adjournment at :.'10 o'clock in the after
nnnn iliat niiinber had lieeii reduced to
let than 50, (he delegate from Hie coun
try precinct liavinK more important
work to perform than the naminu ol a
county ticket.
HEABaT I KNDOBHIID.
0. D. Ety, ol Oregon City, wa chair
man of the convention, and bbirley Buck
and Mori Latourette. both o( Oregon
City, were tbe aecretanea. At the fore
noou legaion the Uatlat committee were
appointed and adjournment wa then
committee were apiwinted and adjourn
taken until 1 o'clock p. m. And then
the programme began. The first num
ber to enliat any particular interest wa
that part of the platform indorsing VV It.
tleatst (or Preaident. Thi wa vigor
oualy otpod but on a vote the para
graph w utinedbyatwotoonevoie.
Briefly stated, the platform charged the
Hepulilican of Clackaioaa county with
everything on earth bu,t doing some act
ual good. The platform made the fol
lowing declaration: That the Renubli
cans of Clackamas re responsible for
the preaent financial condition of the
cnuiitv ; that the county indebtedness
under their administration of affair Ima
h-en increased from 40.000 to over f-tK).
OKI; that while property value have
been more than doubled, the rate of ta
levy remains practically the eame and
none of the county's indebtedness 's h
ing reduced ; that road supervisors ehould
he elected bv direct vole of the people;
that 7') per cent of the road tax should
be expended in the district in will h it is
rained and that rnada when once im
proved should be kept in constant repair
by contract wotk ; that the nest interests
of the bole people of the country and
the Democratic party would beet be
setved by the nomination of W. K.
HearMt for president. An attempt tc
have the KatiBa City platform incorpor
ated in the county declaration of princi
ple was defeated by a decisive vote.
After the wrangling incident to the
adoption of the Hearst plank in the plat
form,.!. P. Loveit, of Oregon City, ad
dressed the convention briefly and poured
oil on the troubled water. He requested
that personal feeling be laid aside and
that the delegate wora narmoniousiy in
the interest of the Democratic party.
DELEGATES TO BTATB CONVENTION.
Delegates to the state and congres
sional convention were named as lol
lows: E. D. Kellv, J. P. Lovett, E. G
Canfield, Dr. M. C. Strickland, O. D.
Ehy and R. A. Miller, all of Oregon City ;
C. N. Wait, Canby ; O D. Rohbins, Mo.
lalla; J. A. Ridings, Milk Creek; W. H.
Vanghan, Molalla; and T. R. A. Sell
wood, Milwaukie.
BCABC1TY OF CANDIDATES.
Nomination were then asked for rep
resentative. J. J. Cooke, of Oregon City,
was nominated, but Cooke had too much
real estate business to attend to; Shirley
Buck declined as he had just gone into
the newspaper business and could not
Bparethe time; Cha, Rislev also had
reason for not accepting the nomination.
Finally five of the faithful were found
who did not positively decline nd a bal
lot was ordered taken with the following
Muif 1:. W. Evans. Oregon uty, vi;
C K. Wait, Canby, 93; Polk Griohle,
Macksburg, 71; W. W. Jesse. Barlow-,
57' Steve Hutchinson, Highland, 92.
Evan, Wait and Hutchinson were de
..laruil nominated. Shortly before the
convention adjourned C. N. Wait evi
dently suffered an attaca 01 com isei nuu
abruptly declined to run as representa
tive. Then mere was more iruuum.
Some delegate placed J. E. Hedges in
nomination but the Uregon city lawyer
would not stand for it and managed to
persuade the convention to let nitn off,
and in doing o actually encouraged the
delegates by remarking that there was a
chance for the Democrats to elect at least
. n.rt nl the. leBislative ticket. It was
thought this would secure an abundance
of aspirants to fill the vacancy but after
making several enoris, dousi-kbis i-uum
be found who would take the chance.
At last a happy thought occurred to one
of the members of the convention who
took advantage of tbe man being absent,
and named John W. Loder. There was
no one at the convention to take John's
part and tbe nomination went through
,with a whoop. This completed tbe Icgta
lative ticket.

George Knight, of Canby, was nomin
ated by acclamation for assessor. A few
minutes later, one of the straight tniddle-in-the-road
Dennrata learned that Mr.
Knight bad onlv recently become a con
vert to Ueuiocracy And then there was
something doing. Democratic oratory,
voiced in expre-ave and unmistakable
terms ,was fired into the convention.
Finally Knight's name was withdrawn,
The name ol L W. Robbing was pre
sented but he had the declination fever
aud T. R. A. Sellwood, of Milwaukie,
was nominated.
XHoWa TUB SITUATION.
After J. J. t'ooko had refused to allow
his name to go before the convention for
commissioner, J.mes H. Kitchiog. of
Egle Creek, wa nominated. When
called on for a speech, Kitching said he
did not expect to be elected and his ad
hibits desired. It is believed there will
be much space in theGoveinmen li'd
logs for these uses, and that the Govern
ment buildings will be more numerous
and afford more epace than those to be
erected by the state and corporation."
The passage of tbe bill today remove's!
the 1hI doubt aa to the fate of the Levris
and Clark appropriation. The bili that
l finally agreed upon and signed ny trie
President will carry at least the amoint
contained in tbe bill passed today, ani
may poesibly be increased, .there can,
be no decrease. Any change mast be in,,
the nature of s compromise between the ,
Senate and the House bills. Tbe .two
votes Monday on the bill foreshadowed
the success of tbe amended measure -w
hen it should come before the HdVse,
although it failed to secure the two-tnirde
vote necessary to pass it or niaket it at
privileged measure. Today there wan
no record vote, as the opponents of the .
bill evidently knew from what had taken
place before that the majority of tbe.
mission wa not seriously doubted except u'" " -hh-
tematic work to get eveu the uiodifle.l

by a few enthusiasts who jelled
