Gladstone Residence and Acre Tracts
On O. W. P. and Railway Line
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 incluae 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. s
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.

SENATORIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL
ASPIRANTS AT CAN BY.
Small Audience Heart Two Set Political
AddressesWhat Took
Place.
At a picnic that hud been advertised
a a fraternal gathering, Senator Brswn
ell, of thl city, anil Col. R. Hofer, editor
of the Bali-rn Journal and a candidate
for the Iti-publlcan nomination to Con
gress from the First Congressional Dis
trict, at Canby last Saturday made two
act political speeches.
Notwithstanding the reports that ap
peared In the Portland papers to the
contrary, the attendance wu decidedly
limited and the enthusiastic applause that
wan commented upon was such an could
be expected from an audience of leaa
than 100 persons of whom 80 per cent
were women and children. It I true that
frsternallsm took a back eieat while
Brownell recited a number Of reasons
why ho should be re-elected to the state
I annate from thla county at the election
to be held In June. No one stated any
. particular ' objections and Brownell
thought It a good time to announce that
"when I am re-elected Btate Senator,
then I will become a condldate for the
United States Senate." This declaration
sculls and barges will be scheduled to
appear.
Especial attention has been paid to
having something characteristic of the
historical Interest which Is clustered
about the city by the sea. Under the
auspices of the Redmen a number of func
tions will be offered which will display
the aborigine among his proper environs.
He will be ruled by Princess Sacajawea,
and Lewis and Clark will form an In
teresting supplement to the contingent of
Indians. Councils of war, pow-wows and
war dances will be held.
Besides many attractions will be of
fered such as markmanshlp contests,
tugs of war, log-rolling tests, hose races,
and others too numerous to mention.
All railways have made special rates
to'Astoria for the Regatta and It la ex
pected that thousands will attend. The
event thla year should receive unusual
patronage owing to the fact that there
are many strangers In Portland In at
tendance at the Exposition.

, was followed by some applause.
Hofer, while ostensibly supporting: Wal
ter L, Toore. of Woodburn, for Congress,
but Is at the same time constructing;
fences that will cause the Marlon county
commission dealer all kinds of trouble In
displacing;, made a typical reform talk
that was calculated to win his auditors
to a most cordial support of himself
when he gets ready to take off his coat
and openly labor to secure the nomina
tion by the direct primary route that he
has so vigorously opposed.
The meeting; was first called to order
about 11 o'clock In the forenoon but
"those present" were hardly numerous
enough to warrant proceeding "accord
ing; to progTam" and adjournment was
tnken until 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon.
At that time, II. C. Gllmore, mayor of
the thriving; city of Canby, called the
meeting; to order as chairman of the day
and Introduced Colonel Hofer as the
"next Congressman from the First Con
gressional district." The Salem editor
politician modestly explained his posi
tion In relation to the Congressional sit
uation, and then waded Into politics,
not exempting a criticism of the Oregon
legislature, of which he was at one time
a member.
Colonel Hofer discussed the Legisla
ture, saying the limit of appropriations
had been so far exceeded by the last one
that the people had resorted to the ref
erendum as the only available club, and
had struck It a telling blow. Dealing
with Btate Treasury reform, he said that
two changes should be made; aa the
Treasurer had been placed on a flat sal
ary. Interest on all state funds loaned to
the bonks should go Into the state reve
nues. Also that the State Executive
Council should have authority to trans
fer funds so that the state would not be
paying interest against one fund when
there might be a million of idle money
In the trensury. These two reforms
would save the state, he said, from 120,
000 to 130,008 annually.
Statistics were also offered by Colonel
Hofer showing that Oregon had treated
the railroads very liberally, and had tax
ed them very lightly, and In return the
Willamette Valley League was asking
generous treatment of Oregon at the
hands of the Harriman system. If the
system kept Its promises already made
In the way of proposed construction of
new lines, about a thousand miles would
be added to the mileage In the state. The
speaker asserted that the railroad corpor
ations are discriminating against Oregon
In that more la being done by them to-
j wards the development of Washington,
; Idaho, and California.
I Following his introduction. Senator
; Brownell gave a short dissertation on
, character, emphasizing the need of more
men and women "who believe things and
have the moral courage to say what they
believe."
The Senator then appropriated to him
self the credit for having conceived the
direct primary law, denouncing the pres
ent political system as faulty, even ad
mitting that while he was In control of
the politics of Clackamas county he knew
the system was wrong, although he de
clared he did the best he could; raised
his voice against the proposed state con
vention, denounced as unfair to Portland
people the deal by which a half dozen of
the richest men of Portland, Including
Mills, Ladd et al., had disposed of to
Eastern capltnl valuable franchises and
other property that had been acquired
from the city without cost; explained
why he voted against the appropriation
for the Lewis and Clark Fair, eulogized
the martyred Lincoln, and then announc
ed that he would be a candidate next
June to succeed himself as Senator from
Clackamas County, and that subsequent
ly he would become a candidate for the
United States Senate.

Poitotnce Authorities At Washington Ars
Opposed to Losing Box Rentals
Citizens Will Resist.
The postofflce department at Washing
ton has denied the application of the peo
ple of this city for the establishment of
a free delivery of mail service within the
city.
Postmaster T. . P. Randall recently
made application for this service on the
showing that the receipts of the Oregon
City office for the year ending June 30th,
last, were over $10,000. In denying the
application, the authorities at Washing
ton give as a reason that the starting
of a free delivery mall service In this
city would largely dispense with the rent
al of boxes at the postofflce which
amounts to' about 11100 annually, which
would reduce the receipts of the office to
sum less than the required $10,000 per
annum.
It Is provided In the postal laws that
when the population of a city reaches.
10,000 or the gross receipts of an office
exceed $10,000 per annum, the department
"may" establish a free mail delivery service.
Believing that this city is entitled to
this service the people of Oregon City
will have the application indorsed by the
Board of Trade when the sen-Ices of
Senator Fulton will be enlisted In hopes
that a free delivery may yet be obtained.

UNIQUE REGATTA.
Water and Land Festivities to be Held
at Astoria August 29, 30 and 31.
ASTORIA, Aug. 24. The Eleventh An
nual Regatta will be held In Astoria
August 29, 30 and 81. This Intelligence
will be gratifying to the people of Oregon
generally because Astoria is truly re
nowned for Its conception of water festi
vities. The Regatta this year will differ
from the last few of Its predecessors In
that It will be more of a home affair.
In the neighborhood of $5000 was sub
scribed in a few days by the merchants,
citizens and various commercial and fra
ternal bodies. To facilitate management
the original committee incorporated un
der the name of tho Astoria Regatta com
pany. A number of minor committees
were appointed and upon these has de
volved the task of arranging for Innum
erable features that will be included In
the Regatta. There will be races of 50
kinds, In which the "homers" speaking
more particularly of the fishermen will
have an opportunity to display their prow
ess yacht racing, gasoline launch racing,

Flax Industry Receives Another Discour
aging Blow.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 21. Pursued by a
relentless enemy, Eugene Bosse, the flax
expert, tonight suffered his third loss by
Are, when his mill and 300 tons of flax
were burned. There is no clew to the
perpetrator of the crime. Mr. Bosse Is
away from the city and the exact amount
of the loss cannot be ascertained, but It
Is estimated at not less than til, 000 with
probably no Insurance. The destruction
of the mill will seriously delay If not
terminate for the time the development
of the flax Industry In Oregon.
The Are tonight occurred on the Savage
farm, east of town, which Mr. Bosse had
rented. An immense barn had recently
been remodeled at considerable expense
and prepared for receiving flax machin
ery. Approximately 100 tons of flax fi
ber brought here from Sclo was stored In
this building, awaiting the arrival of
machinery to manufacture it Into crash.
This fiber was of the crop of 194. About
100 feet from the building stood three
stacks of flax of the crop of 1905, aggre
gating 200 tons.

GENERAL SUMMARY.
Subscribe to the Enterprise, best local
paper In Willamette Valley.
Light showers occurred during the fore
part ef the week In the lower part of the
Wilamette valley and In the northern
coast counties. Elsewhere throughout
the State dry weather prevailed. The
temperatures in western Oregon averaged
about normal, while the weather east of
the Cascades was slightly cooler than
usual, especially at night
The rain somewhat revived vegetation,
but as a whole the amounts were to
small to do much good, and gardens,
com, potatoes and pastures are suffering
for want of moisture.
Grain Is about all cut and In the stack.
Threshing continues In all sections. The
yields in the Willamette valley continue
disappointing, but In the Columbia and
Grand Ronde valleys the returns are very
gratifying. Hops are making seasonal
progress, and where spraying was thor
oughly done the Uce have about disap
peared. Corn Is earing and filling nicely
and a good crop is Indicated. Stock con
tinues to lose flesh.
Plums and some varieties of prunes
are ripe and being gathered. The yield
of most fruits will fall below the average,
both In quantity and size. Peaches are
plentiful and of good flavor.

Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
