City, Oregon, as second-class matter.
FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1905.
Because his dinner was not pre
pared for 'him when he reached
home, an Eastern man one day last
treck shot and killed his wife. Ilad
he raited until after partaking of
the meal the fellow might have had
some provocation for committing
the crime.
o
DOXTS FOR THE PUBLIC.
Don't throw waste paper on the
6trects.
Don't put chalk marks on fences
or buildings.
Don't fail to repair or renew your
pavements. ,
Don't forget to clean up your
yards and gardens.
Don't spit on the sidewalks.
The citizen interested in promot
ing public welfare can help materi
ally by per onally observing these
rules. We utist all remember that
public policy depends on the action
of many, if each individual does
his Or her duty and observes the
laws and ordinances, order and pro
gress result; if he omits to do his
Bhare, chaos and disorder follow.
Patriotism consists in the faith
ful discharge of the small duties of
life, as well as an utilization of
greater opportunities. American
Civic Association.
o
THE WAY IIOOD EIVER DOES
IT.
Arrangements have been made
for the Hood River delegates to the
Portland meeting of the Oregon
Development League to attend the
convention with a special car. It
is expected that the delegation from
this city will number over 100.
Many fruit growers will be with the
party. Press dispatch from nood
River. It is this kind of push and
enthusiasm that is responsible for
the remarkable growth Hood River
has experienced in the last five
years. An opportunity for adver
tising that section and its possibili
ties is never allowed to escape.
o
PAIXT TnE BRIDGE.
"Civic Improvement" in a com
munication that appears elsewhere
in this week's issue, appropriately
suggests the need of painting the
suspension bridge at Oregon City,
not alone for the improved appear
ance that would result but for the
preservation of that expensive struc
ture. The placing, of a new coat of paint
on this bridge would be quite in har
mony with the other work that is
proposed in the way of beautifying
Oregon City and its surroundings.
Don't neglect the paint brush. A
little paint, properly distributed,
makes a world of difference.
o
OREGON CITY AT THE FAIR.
Friday, June 9, has been desig
nated Oregon City day at the Lewis
& Clark Fair. It goes without say
ing that all of Oregon City will be
found at the Exposition grounds on
that day. It, therefore, would not
be out of the way if a programme of
exercises be arranged for the occa
sion. Such exercises would prove a
wide advertisement for this section,
the resourceful advantages of which
could be intelligently presented in
a number of short talks by able
speakers from this city.
But the details of any such exer
cises properly belong to the Board of
Trade which will no doubt give the
matter deserved attention at the
right time.
o
PUBLIC MEETING PLACE.
It is announced that the commit
tees in charge of the Firemen's
Tournament and Fourth of July
Celebration will construct in the
pnblic square on the hill a grand
stand suitable for holding the liter
ary exercises of the day. Such a
structure should be built on sub
stantial basis that it may continue
to ue used as a permanent place of
holding public meetings. It might
also be utilized as a band stand. The
city U'ing without ueh -conveniences,
these suggestions should
be considered for all they nre worth.
The further beautifying of the
Park by the introduction of flowers
and shrubWry will follow when the
newly organized Civic Improvement
movement has developed and the
finances of the city make it possible
for assuming this expense.
o
SPRINKLE THE STREETS.
Some provision should be made
for sprinkling Main street this sum
mer. An attempt was made to have
this done last year, but the city au
thorities were unable to induce the
Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company to perform the service and
the city itself did not foci that its
financial condition would permit
this additional item of expense.
It need not necessarily prove ex.
jvnsive to sprinkle Main street for
its entire length or at least from
the Basin to Eleventh street. This
is the main business street in the
city and the prevalence of dust dur
ing the summer months is extremely
annoving.
This matter should be early con
sidered by the City Council that the
co-operation of all interested par
ties may be enlisted to the end that
the sprinkling of this street may be'
assured this year.
With such a dust-producing
thoroughfare as Main street nn
sprinkled, attempts at improving
the condition of streets and the ap
pearance of property will be largely
defeated.
SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
Oresron Citv is certainly too much
of a city to sit idly by and without
a word of protest permit the build
ing on its principal 6treet of such
a primitive structure as that erect
ed on JVlam street last week. Such
a canvas shack as that which adorns
Main street near nuntlev Bros. Co.'s
drug store might look all right in a
newly located mining town or a saw
mill camp, but it is certainly out of
place in its present location.
If we are going to have Civic
Improvement let's have a thorough
attack of it and oppose the erecting
of such temporary structures as the
one reierred to. 'Ihe erecting of
one such so-called buildings, located
as it is, will require months of ag
gressive work of the Civic Improve
ment society to overcome the un
favorable impression its erection
will create. The property on which
tne structure nas been placed is too
valuable to be thus humiliated.
Oregon Citv. like other progress
ive cities, should have a fire limit,
and until the same has been pro
vided bv ordinance other structures
of the character complained of may
te expected. 'Ihe City Council owes
it to the city and valuable property
interests to establish a fare limit,
o
RESOURCES AND BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES.
Clackamas countv .the foremost
manufacturing county in the state,
offers to the intending settler splen
did opportunities. Oregon City is
known for its many factories, large
payroll and wealth of unappropri
ated water power. But Clackamas
county is known for its worth as an
agricultural, horticultural and min
eral district. There js abundant
room for more people in this county
and the almost unlimited resources
of this section only await the invest
ment of capital for their develop
ment. This county has large farms suit
able for stockraising and dairying.
There are however a greater number
of small farms, which cultivated as
they should be, by men of experi
ence, would yield a handsome liv
ing to a great many more people.
The price of land is not "dirt cheap"
but on the contrary varies in cost
in proportion as it is improved and
according to its location with regard
to transportation facilities.
Stockraisinsr and dairvino- arc
u -j
among the profitable industries and
their products would supply a large
creamery for which there is a good
opening in this county. There are
a number of co-operative plants be
ing operated but their capacity is
limited to meet the actual needs of
the community that is served. Much
cream is shirmed to outside noinr.s
and this might profitable be con
verted into butter right here at
home.
There is also an unlimited amount
of water power at Oregon City and
throughout the county affording am
ple power for numerous manufac
turing institutions. The extensive
timber growth m this county will
require many additional sawmills.
Foremost among the industries of
the county may be mentioned that
of fruit growing. The soil, climate
and conditions generally arc. suit
ed to fruit growing which is carried
On with Success on ft krrrp aoaU
The large and constantly increasing i
yield of fruit suggests the need of J
a cannery. Small fruits of every
variety, are grown annually.
A woolen mill, the largest in the
west, at Oregon City, purchases the
wool clip of the county which
amounts to several thousand
pounds.
In fact, space is entirely too lim
ited to enumerate the many re
sources of this section and the
grand business opportunities that
are otTored here. There has been
need of more factories of all kinds
for some time and with the rapid
k'ttling up of this county this need
increases. Men of some moans tyul
energy, with a little push in their
make-up, will find Clackamas county
a resourceful section that will pay
them to investigate. We have the
room and opportunities. AVe want
the men and capital to do the rest.

CHEER UP)
Why Worry About Indigestion When Pep
Ikola Will Give You Relief.
"Why any one should worry about In
digestion," said the hrrnl clirk In Hunt
loy Bros. Co. drug store, "is hard for ue
to understand.
"We have been selling Pepilkota for
several months now nnd In all our ex
perience we never knew a remedy to
give such universal satisfaction.
"We know four or five old chronic
dyspeptics on the verge of despair for
years who to-day are cheerful and happy
because all of the betoflcl.il effects of
a little chocolate coated tablet taken
after each meal.
"If people only reallied what a won
derful remedy It Is and how much good
It has done right In this very town they
would not doubt or hesitate another
minute." Words can not express the
f,:ht good It has don- In O'efcon Cl.y.
and Pepslkola must be a remedy of
more than unusual merit for If Huntley
Bros. Co. had to refund the money to
very many dissatisfied customers they
would certainly discontinue selling It on
their own personal guarantee. Ask your
self if this is not true.
If you are thin, nervous, worried and
In low spirits just cheer up and try a
2a cent box of Pepslkola on the drug
gist's say so and if It fails to give you
new nerve force, new ambition and new
energy you can get your money back
without any question or argument.
