Gladstone G-acIgn Tia,cts,
r
It has been determined to put one-hundred acres at Gladstone on
the market in acres tracts.
It will be sold in quantities as desired and on very easy terms to
purchasers. ,
These tracts are immediately on the line of the O. 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 and Portland is better than
money in the bank.
We mean business. Come and make your selections.

Deserves Your Patronage.
The growth of a community and the
success of its local institutions depends
entirely on the loyalty of its people. It
is well enough to preach "patronize home
industry" but. except the service given
at a home institution equals that of out-of-town
enterprises, this argument car
ries no weight and is entirely disregard
ed, as it should be. But with Oregon Cit
people it is different. A few months
ago E. L. Johnson established the Cas
cade Laundry. It is equipped with the
latest improved machinery and Is dally
turning out work that is equal to any
and superior to much of the laundry
work that is being done in Portland.
Being a home institution and furnishing
employment for many Oregon City people
it is enjoying an immense patronage.
The high standard of the work being
done commends it to the general public.
Laundry left at the O. K. barber shpp will
be promptly called for and delivered to
any part of ' the city. ' Telephone 1204.

While more than a score of permits
to burn slashing have been granted " in
this county, there exists much dissatis
faction here with the new law relating
to forest fires for the , reason that the
provisions of the measure are considered
cumbersome, i ' .
The main objection to the law as it
now stands is that the provision requir
in the making of application on which
the permit is issued, ten days before the
fire is to be started, the fire not to be
set in case there is a strong wind blow
ing at the time. It is considered a phys
ical impossibility for the settler to pre
diet the probable state of the weather
that distance in advance. The success
with which slashing can be burned de
pends largely on the location and general
character- of the tract to be burned. In
one case the strength and direction of
the wind might make the starting of
fire unsafe while in another under the
same conditions, the fire could be started
without endangering any property inter
ests.
Under a strict interpretation of the
present law it is contended by some that
a farmer cannot burn a single stump in
a cultivated field without first procuring
the necessary permit. Otherwise he must
be liable to the penalties which are se
vere, ranging in fines from $100 to $1000
or imprisonment in the county jail from
one month to two years.
Considerable slashing in this county is
being burned at the present time under
the provisions of these perrr s which
are being issued daily by kj County
Clerk. v
There exists among many an incorrect
understanding of the provisions of the
present forest fire law. For the informa
tion of the people of Clackamas county,
the Enterprise this week prints the es
sential sections of the law, which are:
Section 1 provides for the appointment
of fire rangers by the several county
courts of the State of Oregon.
Section 2. It shall be the duty of the
county clerk of each county to issue
written or printed permits, during the
permit season, to any and all persons
named in an application to set out fires.
Said application shall state the general
description of the land upon which it is
desired to set out a fire and the extent of
the slashing or burning desired to be
burned. Said permit season shall be
from June 1 to October 1, of each year.
Said permit shall fix the time for set
ting ont fires on any three . consecutive
days therein named, and not less than
ten days from the date of such permit.
and that no time when the wind is blow
ing to such an extent as to cause danger
of same getting beyond the control of the
person setting out said fire, or without
sufficient help present to control the
same, and that same shall be watched
by the person setting the fire until the
same is out. Upon granting said per
mit, the clerk shall at once notify at the
earliest possible moment some qualified
and acting fire ranger in the vicinity
of said proposed burning,, and upon good
cause may revoke or postpone said per
mit upon notice to said applicant.
Section 3. The fire ranger shall have
police power and may arrest any person
without warrant who violates any of the

ten dollars nor more than fifty dollars,
and shall be enjoined from further use
of such engine or locomotive until such
spark arrester is provided.
Section 5. The period from June 1 to
October 1 in each year shall be known as

er, logger, or- other individual, firm or
corporation, to set out or cause to be
set out, fires in slashings, down or fall
en timber, or on timber lands, or in the
vicinity of grain fields, without first ob
taining a permit in writing or print from
the county clerk of his county as provid
in section 2, and at no time shall any fire
be set out when the wind is blowing to
such an extent as to cause danger of
same getting beyond control of the per
son setting same out, or without suffi
cient help to control the same, and
same shall be watched by the person
setting the fire until the same is out, and
any person violating any of the provi
sions of this section shall be punished
by a fine of not less than $100 or more

j wadding, shall be punished by a fine of
not less than ten dollars or more than

ment in the penitentiary for not less

VERY SIMPLE METHODS EFFECTIVE
AGAINST CUTWORMS.
Secretary Lamberson, of State Board of
Horticulture Issues Circular

How Two Oregon City Youths Propose
to Make the Trip. ,
"To Newport or Bust" was the slogan
that .resounded from one end of Main
street to the other at an unseemly hour
Tuesday morning, disturbing the late
sleeper. The disturbance - marked the
departure of the "Gasoline Twins"
Joseph Goodfellow, who does not belie
his name, and William Randolph Logus,
who is as clever a fellow as he is - an
accomplished brass-tapper. These lads
are en. route to Newport for a two weeks'
vacation. The writer says "en route" for
jhere exists a most reasonable doubt that
the twins will never soak the tires of
their machine in the briny- deep this
year.
To make a short story longer, it may
be said that Messrs. Goodfellow and Lo
gus recently acquired a "has-been" au
tomobile from some Portland people.
While it might have been expected to
move, Bill says it "ought to," still it re
fused to navigate or be navigated. Un-
discouraged, Goodfellow, who is an ex
perienced boiler-maker, assisted by Lo
gus, whose ' experience with electricity.
X-Rays, etc., does not bear the slightest
relation to an automobile that is operat
ed by gasoline, proceeded to equip the
machine with a boiler of their owri pat
tern. It was found to work excellently,
at least, it made, the machine go. But
the boys have gone and their geniality
will be greatly missed.
Before leaving the city, Logus had a
number of cards printed and these are
intended for distribution along the road.
If Bill does not volunteer to give you
one, the card may De naa lor tne asK
ing. The angular telegrapher does not
propose to be entirely forgotten even
if he is obliged to go to the expense of
having cards printed. Goodfellow, on
the contrary, claims that he does not have
to resort to any such methods that he
may be remembered. He says to be seen
once is never to be forgotten with him.
Joe has taken along a bountiful supply
of stationery and when he is not assist
ing Logus to push their vehicle up-hill.
he will devote a part of his time to writ
ing a number of illustrated magazine
articles for which he has contracted.
As a means of helping to defray ex
penses, a never-ialllng corn-curev or
which the "company has 2786 boxes,
will be sold at the ridiculously low price
of 25 cents, "merely as a means of adver
tising the great remedy." Logus will
spiel while Goodfelow gets the money.
Goodfellow and Lougus actually have
confidence enough in their machine to
believe that they will overtake and as
sist the "Gray Horse Gang" consisting
of Mount, Draper, Osmund and Stipp,
which left this city last Saturday for the
same destination. Daily bulletins are
expected from the "Gasoline Twins" for
whom an ambulance and the services of
an undertaker have been reserved.
Capt. Speedy, the noted high diver, is
now giving two dally performances on
the Trail at the Lewis and Clark Txposi
tion. Capt. Speedy dives from a tower
110 feet high into a tank of water only
2 feet deep. His tower is merely a frag
ile ladder affair built in the center of the
Trail, and his diving acts are free to all.
W. S. King, an extensive gardener re
siding near this city, reports the loss of
60,000 cabbage and -cauliflower plants on
account of the cut worm which has op
erated very extensively on these products
in this section. Tre pest has not dis
turbed any other vegetables. - The worm
eats the vegetable off close to the ground.
Out of 320,000 plants, Mr. King expects
to harvest the crop from not more than
250.000 plants.
George H. Lamberson, secretary of - tha
State Board of Horticulture, tells what
he knows about the destruction of cut
worms, which appear at the time of the
year are such a menace to gardens and
flowers, in a very instructive letter.
Writing on the subject Mr. Lamberson
gives simple methods of extermination.
as follows:
The family of cutworms is a large one.
Most of the species are -very destructive
to young and tender vegetables, cutting
or severing the plants when but a - few
inches above the ground, from which.
habit they derive their common name.
The larvae, or "worm" becomes full
grown about the middle of June, and
when extended measures nearly two inch
es in length. While differing in size,
color and markings, being smooth and
of some shade of gray, green, brown or
black. When mature the larvae enters
the ground, and in about 15 days a moth
appears of a grayish brown color, which
measures about one and three-quarters
inches when wings are expanded.
Eggs are laid by the moth near the
roots of grass, dead or dried, the young
appearing eight or ten days later. On
the approach of Winter the worm goes
into the ground below the reach of frost
hibernating in the chrysalis state, ap-.
pearing in the Spring again as a moth.
When not excessively numerous they
retain their normal cutworm habit- In
the seasons of excessive numbers, from
crowding, or having exhausted the food,
supply where hatched, they are forced
by necessity to migrate to fresh pas
tures in great bodies, hence the name
"army worm." In the south three gener
ations are produced; in Oregon there
probably would not be more than two
generations.
They are preyed upon by numerous
enemies, a certain fly deposits eggs in
them, which hatch and consume tha
worm, beetles, robins and other birds
devour them. The worm feeds by night
hiding In the daytime under the surface
of the ground.
For small flower and vegetable gar
dens, take fresh cabbage leaves, clover
or . grass, saturate . with a mixture of
Paris Green or Londan purple In water,
and place on the ground in the evening.
A teaspoonful of Paris green to a buck
etful of water is about right. This will
have to be repeated every evening, for
they will not be attracted to it after It'
has wilted.
Plow a single furrow eight or ten inch
es deep, with the side toward the field to
be protected perpendicular or sloying un
der; pits are made every rod or so In the
furrow, about a foot square and two
feet deep, with clean straight sides.
Worms will fall into these pits in great
numbers. When the pit is nearly full
of worms, others may be dug, using the
earth to bury those already in the pits.
The trenches should be dressed with the
spade, after the plow, to make sure of -straight,
smooth sides. The following
spray is recommended: One pound of
Paris green, half-pound of quicklime to
200 gallons of water. Slack the lime in
part of the water, sprinkling in the Paris
green gradually, then add the rest of
the water."
The skill with which the Portland
street car lines handle the crowds or
visitors to the exposition is a matter
of favorable comment from all quarters.
Though from 15,000 to 30,000 people ride
to the fair every day, there is practical
ly no ceowding and the conductors are
winning praise for their uniform courtesy
and attention to the passengers. The
exposition is only fifteen minutes' ride
from the business center of Portland.
