Gladstone Garden Tracts
sai
' It has been determined to put onchundred acres at Gladstone on
the market in acres tracts.
i
It will be sold In quantities as desired and on very easy terms to
purchasers.
These tracts are immediately on the line of the 0. W, P. and Ry.
line and are many of them in good cultivation. Much of the soil is the
finest garden land and rich enough to raise onions.
These tracts can be so divided as to present an ideal building site
on one of the best streets in Gladstone and extend back to include the
finest garden land and all in cultivation. Purchasers willing to take
unimproved or partly improved tracts can do so at very reasonable figures
Prices of tracts fronting on the motor line will be $300.00 per acre,
and from, that on down to $50.00 per acre.
Understand we propose to sell a tract of level rich garden land on
the main line of the railway for $300.00, or we will sell you six acres on
the main county road to Portland for the same price.
On these cheaper tracts the timber will more than pay for half the
purchase price.
Remember we will and intend for sixty days, and no longer, to
sell a large number of acre tracts in Gladstone for $50.00 per acre, and
every one of these tracts will have a frontage on the main county road
to Portland.
The terms in all cases will be made fair and to suit the conven
ience of customers.
Oregon City is rapidly growing northward, and any property
fairly situated lying between this city anf Portland is better than
money in the bank.
We mean business. Come and make your selections.

fective Treatment.
L. Ferguson, a farmer residing at New
Era, this county, was in the city frmay,
and reports that the black flea, which
recently did damage to tomato plants,
has made its appearance among his po
tato plants where the pest is doing con
siderable damage,
County Fruit Inspector Reld. of Mil
waukie, is of the opinion that the most
effective means of eliminating the ilea
Is In the use of Bordeaux mixture, and
recommends its use to growers.
The grocers of the comity are cheer
fully co-operating with Inspector Reld
In his efforts to prevent the marketing of
diseased fruits of all kinds and refuse to
handle grades other than will pass a
critical examination. Mr. Reld Is now
directing his attention to peddlers who
are disposing of considerable of the fruit
that is refused by dealers.
Some arrests may be mnde if neces
sary to stop this t raffle which Is prohib
ited by the state horticultural law.

Exchange Must Be Established At Ore
gon City Before Suburban Telephone
Service Is Complete.
What ha become of the' mutual tele
phone company that was to have been
organized by Oregon City business men
through the Board of Trade as the con
cluding link to an extensive rural tele
phone service throughout the county?
That Is the query a great many farm
ers are propounding. Wm. Grlsenth
walte, one of the enthusiastic members
of the Beaver Creek Mutual Telephone
Association, was In the city last Saturday
and says the people of his section are
becoming Impatient with the apparent
lack of Interest that is being shown by
the people of Oregon City.
Mr. Orlsenthwalte says that fully 90
per cent of the farmers who are members
of one or more of the valous telephone
companies became subscribers to their
respective telephone associations and In
stalled Instruments In their residences
on the assurance from the Oregon City
Board of Trade that a mutual company
would be organized at Oregon City, In
suring the rural systems an entrance to
this city and connection with the busi
ness houses of this city. This assurance
was given at a number of meetings held
by the farmers of the county In discuss
ing the telephone situation. The farm
ers have gone ahead and stretched their
wires and Installed their systems and
now think it is about time there was
something doing here at Oregon City.
There are In the county more than a
half-dozen Independent rural telephone
companies having In the aggregate be
tween 400 and BOO subscribers. A plan
Is now under consideration by which all
of these different systems are to be con
nected by a single wire with Oregon City
and this alone remains to be done when
the farmers . will , have complied with
their part of the understanding had with
the people of Oregon City. They are now
waiting for the mutual telephone com
pany to materialize at this end of the
line.
This Is a matter of too great Import
ance to be dismissed. Bringing 500 pros
perous Clackamas county farmers into
telephonic communication with Oregon
City Is no small Item. Such a service
would be a wonderful convenience to the
farmer and a large advantage to the
business and manufacturing Interests of
this city. - -
Among the different rural lines of the
county, the Beaver Creek system is one
of the most prosperous. Starting a few
weeks ago with a mere handful of sub-,
seribers. the exchange now has 125 sub
scribers who are served through a cen
tral that has been established at the
store 'of T. D. Jons -at ' Beaver Creek.
Tht system consists of tseven lines and
by the time the connection Is made with
Oregon City the Beaver Creek associa
tion will have a mileage of more than 60
miles.
California is supporting the Portland
Fair most nobly. Already more than 20.
000 actual residents of that state have
visited "the fair and registered at the
California building. Last week was
Southern California week at the Exposi
tion, large parties of visitors from several
counties ,in the southern part of the
state being present.' Saturday was Los
Angeles day. and there was a general
reception and celebration at the Califor
nia state building. This week several
cities In the central and northern part of
California have special days.
Kllpatiick, the one-legged wheelman
and automoblllst, , has finished his en
gagement on the TraH at the Lewis &
Clark Exposition, being succeeded by
Capt. Speedy the noted high diver. Capt.
Speedy dives from a height of 110 feet
into a tank with only two feet of water.
His performance is given on the Trail,
in full view of all the crowds, and it
costs nothing extra to see him make the
remarkable dive.
MILWAUKIE CLUB RUNNING.
Officers of Suburban Town Await Result
of Action.
As far as outside appearances Indicate
the Milwaukie Country Club House con
tinues to be operated the same as be
fore the ordinance authorizing Its license
was repealed by the Council. Announce
ments are made In the papers that race
bulletins are received there. A conspicu
ous sign on the Milwaukie road points the
way to the club house so that the "elect"
may not stumble or fall to find It. Justice
J. W. Grasle, before whom M. G. Nease
and Isaac Gratton were bound over to the
grand jury, said he supposed that Inas
much as Portland permits pool selling1 at
the Irvlngton track the owners of the
Milwaukie Club House will continue to
do the same. "I suppose nothing can be
done toward closing up the club house,1
said Justice Grasle, "until Nease and
Gratton have had their trial. The reason
the Milwaukie Council repealed the ordi
nance authorizing pool selling was be
cause the officers of the town were
afraid of action against them. I am not
sure that they are not liable anyway If
the case goes against Gratton and
Nease." Oregonian.
Considerably more than 900,000 admis
sions have been recorded by the turns
tiles of the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
If this percentage keeps up, the total ad
missions will exceed 2,000,000, and there
is every prospect that the attendance will!
Increase toward the end of the exposi
tion period.
