Citizens.
Mankind has ever sought a land and we believe that generations will

Diversified tastes and inclinations

centuries and seemed destined never
to end, although the world has been
traversed from Its tropic center to

summit of her prosperity bas been far
from reached. Standing on the rock
of past achievement, and with every
indication of still more development

the extreme of climatic environment
The languor of perpetual summer and
the rlgora of prolonged winters are In
a great degree avoided, and In the In
termediate zones are found the na
tions of the earth that lead In Intel
ligence and civilization. A blessed
land, therefore, la that which suffers
neither the extremes If winach4,Jffl3
neither tbe extremes of winter's cold
nor summer's heat. Such a land Is
found In the Willamette Valley. Win
ter Is little more than a name In this
favored section, while the summer sea
son Is free from sultry weather and
the nlfjhts are always cool and re-
freshlng.
It Is not our purpose to discuss fully
the advantages offered by the Wll
lamette Valley In the space alloted to
us in this article, but to confine our re
marks to the resources, facilities, and
natural advantages of Oregon City and
Clackamas county.
Situated on the right bank of .the
Willamette river and at the falls of
the same name, fifteen miles south of
Portland, stands Oregon City, the
metropolis and county seat of Clack
a mas county.
Clackamaa county bas an area of
abou' 1500 square mite which re
duced to acres means nearly one mil
lion. It Is rich In natural resources
and Is adapted to a wide range of In
dustrles. The topography of the coun
ty varies from the broad level valleys
of the illamette to the snow-capped
peaks of the Cascade mountains. Part
of the land bears a heavy growth of
fir, alder, maple, larch and other vari
eties of native timber. The Boil in
tbe valleys and up-Iands Is rich and
very productive. Diversified farming
and fruit growing are the principal
occupations of tbe , people, though
stock raising Is a profitable industry.
Oregon City bas a population of
6.000 prosperous, happy and contented
people. The Willamette falls gene
rates about 50.000 horse power, and
this fact, together with cHeap fuel,
cheap rent, reasonable living expenses
for laboring men and both' rail and
water transportation, combine to
make Oregon City a most favorable
point for manufacturing purposes.
Raw material is at band and a market
for the finished product at our very
doors. At the present time the Day
roll of Oregon City amounts to over
150,000 per month. A large woolen
mill consumes the wool produced in
the Willamette Valley and draws on
the eastern part of the state for more.
The Crown Paper mill affords em
ployment for many men, while
the Willamette Pulp and Paper mills
are the largest on the Pacific Coast
and consume enormous quantities of
Clackamaa Abatract A Trust Co.
In all real estate transactions the
question of title la a vital one, and
there is constant recourse to such
sources of Information on the subject
as are deemed absolutely correct.
Foremost among the abstractors of
this county is the Clackamaa Abstract
& Trust Co. Thla company bas a
complete set of abstract books show
ing all transfers. Hens, Incumbrances,
tax claims, Judgments and other In
struments of record affecting the title
to any piece or parcel of land in
Clackamas county, whether a farm or
a city lot. They are therefore pre.
