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 ttacts.
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 peracre,
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.

Condemnation of tint Oregon Water
Power tt. Hallway Company's fran
chise ordinance wan hail by a major
ity of the membership of the Oregon
City Jioanl of Trade at. a meeting held
at the court house last Friday night.
As the remilt of the meeting, the Hoard
not only condemned the ordinance
and declared Its unqualified opposition
thereto, Imt. also appointed a com
mittee of five members which should
arrange for a mass meeting of the
people of Oregon City when the fran
chise and what it means could be In
telligently considered and In the same
connection the committee was au
thorized to conduct a campaign of ed
ucation to the end that the voters
might lie fully advised as to the im
portance of the subject upon which
they are about to vote. President
Huntley named the following com
mittee: (j. Caufleld, O. W. East
hnm. O. U. Kby, 0. B. Dlmlck and Dr.
W. E. Carll.
The sentiment at the meeting was
decidedly anti-franchise. There were
but three advocates for the franchise
and City Attorney Franklin T. Grif
fith, who assisted to draft the fran
chise ordinance as It Is now presented
the council, was the principal cham
pion. Mr. Griffith asserted that he be
lieved the granting of the franchise
would be- a good thing for the city.
Stating that he would lie pleased to
answer any question that might he
asked pertaining to the subject, Mr.
Griffith was kept, exceedingly busy for
the next, hour responding to a great
many pertinent querries as they were
proimundi'd by the various opponents
fif the franchise.
George A. Harding, city ticket agent
for the street railway company, and
T. L. Charman were the other two
gentlemen who contended for the fran
chise, claiming that the city would be
amply compensated for the conces
sions it was. proposed to make and
which, eventually, they considered
would operate to the best Interests
of the city.
The protracted argument was pre
cipitated by the reading of two com
munications on the subject, one of
them being by Wm. Andresen, a lead
ing business man, and the other by
liruce C. Curry, former City Recorder,
both of whom urged the Hoard of
Trade to take such action as might
contribute to the defeat of the fran
chise which they considered directly
opposed to the city and its best in
terests. Th're were many to protest against
the franchise as It Is proposed to be
granted. Foremost among these and
the first speaker of the evening was
jC. H. Dye, who deplored the fact that
there are in the City Council four
! members who are employed by the
'company asking for the franchise and
whose Jobs, he said, depend on their
! support of the ordinance. Mr. Dye
I then argued that it was considered
i that the franchise question had been
j finally settled at the last city election
when that question was the real is
i sue. the great majority of the people
j declaring against the granting of any
such franchise as is now proposed.
"Hut," he continued, "there appears
to have been wrought a sudden change
in the views and opinions of the Mayor
and members of the Council." He
roundly denounced the railway com
pany for the methods by which it
seeks to secure municipal legislation.
While not a native of Missouri, J.
W. Cole said that he possessed one
characteristic of the native of that
state in that he "had to be shown."
When he could be shown where any
advantage will accrue to the business
and property interests of Oregon City
by converting its only retail business
street into a freight yard, then he
was ready to boost the franchise
along. Hut until that time he could
onlv oppose the measure as imprac
ticable and opposed to the city's true
interests as he viewed them.
Dr. W. E. Carll, as a man whose in
terests are with the town, made a
strong talk against the franchise, ex
plaining that from the very first he
had opposed the granting of a fran
chise to Main street for the operation
of electric cars and declaring that his
opposition to the present plan is cer
tainly most pronounced.
.1. lT. Campbell asked why it was
that since there remained seven years
before the franchise, under which the,
company is now operating its cars
through Oregon City expired, another
franchise for so long a period should
be asked. Mr. Campbell thought if
any franchise should be granted at
all that the city's representatives
should see to it that the municipal
ity is adequately compensated. A
franchise over Main street for the op
eration of passenger and freight cars,
he said, is a most valuable possession
and the city should realize something
proportionately therefor. Just what
the annual license fees should be, Mr.
Campbell said he was not prepared to
suggest but thought that the amount
of passenger business done by the
company annually between this city
and Portland closely approximates
I $125,000. This is exclusive of freight
I business which is no small item in
the operation or the company s sys
tem, he said.
After considerable miscellaneous
sparring and cross-questioning, E. G.
Caufleld moved the appointment of
the committee of five to have charge
of the anti-franchise campaign.
In naming the committee, President
Huntley announced the following
members: E. G. Caufleld, O. W. East
ham, O. D. Eby, Franklin T. Grlffltn
and Dr. V. E. Carll. Mr. Griffith pos
itively declined to serve on the com
mittee for the reason that he enter
tained opposite views on the nrdlnnnco
from those held by the othehr mem
bers who were avowed opponents to
the franchise as It had been present
ed. Another reason assigned was that
he desired to tie spared the ernbarass
ment of seeking to arouse publh sen
timent against an ordinance that he
had assisted to prepare. In his stead,
President Huntley named G. H. Dlm
lck, wtio was averse to serving on the
committee, but his declination was
not. accepted.
A resolution was adopted resenting
and condemning as'unfair, unjust and
unwarranted" the treatment by the
Portland Journal of E. O. . Caufleld,
who was Indorsed as a most public
spirited and progressive citizen. In
two recent items concerning the fran
chise discussion in this city, the Jour
nal published an alleged Interview
with Mr. Caufleld in which that gentle
man was grossly misquoted and for
which the paper declined to make
amends.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Children Between 8 and 14 Must At
tend School During Full Term.
Helow are some of the provisions of
the new law "regulating the employ
ment t child labor, and for the attend
ance of children at school.
Section 4. Attendance - at school
shall be compulsory upon all children
between the ages of eight and four
teen years in all cities, towns and vil
lages of the state of Oregon during
the whole of the school term in the
city, town or village in which the child
resides, and upon all children in such
cities, towns and villages between the
ages of 14 and 10 years who are not
employed in some lawful work.
Such is one provision of an act of
the last legislature and it will be en
forced In Ashland.
Other provisions of the law are as
follows:
Section 3. No child under 14 years
of age shall bo employed In any work
of labor of any form, for wages or
other compensation to whomsoever
payable during the hours when the
public school of the town, district or
city in which he or she resides are in
session.
Section 6. No child under 16 years
of age shall be employed, permitted
or suffered to work in any employment
enumerated in section or unless the
person or corporation employing him
procures and keeps on file and access
ible to the school authorities of the
district where such child resides, and
to the police and board of inspectors
of child labor, an age and school cer
tificates as hereinafter prescribed, and
keep a complete list of all such child
ren employed therein
Section 11. Any person or corpora
tion who shall employ a minor con
trary to the provisions of this act, or
who shall violate any of the provisions
thereof, shall be guilty of a misde
meanor and upon conviction thereof
thall be fined in the sum of not less
than $10 or more than $25 for the first
offense nor less than $25 nor more
than $50 for the second offense and
to be imprisoned for not less than ten
or more than 30 days for the third
and each succeeding offense.
Section 12. Any parent or guardian
who shall violate any of the provisions
of this act or allow any child under
their custody or control to be em
ployed contrary to the provisions of
this act shall be guilty of a misde
meanor and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than $5 and not
more thhan $25.
Heretofore there have been too
many children not attending school
while it was in session. These child
ren complied with the old law by at
tending school for three months, after
which they would drop out of school.
On the streets they are not only
schooled in vice and general worth
lessness, but they do much harm by
inducing other children to play tru
ant. Under the new law these cases
can he reached and the penalty of
the law will be enforced upon those
found trying to evade it.
Clackamas county was certainly
"In It" when it came to awarding
prizes at the stock show. The honors
attained by stockmen of this county
are to be more highly prized when it
is considered that the show Is gener
ally reputed to have been one of the
largest and best ever held. Much of
the finest stock in the country was
shown in competition.
Some Successful Exhibitors.
Among the most successful exhib
itors from this county may be men
tioned R. Scott, of Milwaukie; Geo.
Lazelle, of Oregon City, and Schmidt
Pros., of Carus. Mr. Scott was award
ed first prizes in every class In which
he had entries with the exception of
only one. He showed a fine collec
tion of sheep and hogs, his Cottswold
and Horned Dorset sheep taking prac-,
tlcally everything in sight. Mr. La
zelle's Red Polled cattle made a close
run for first place and were in a ma
jority of instances awarded second
money although this enterprising
farmer captured several blue ribbons
as well Schmidt Bros, walked off
with several honors in their show of
Shropshire sheep.
Chicken Show Begins October 5th.
Under the superintendence of El
mer Dixon, of this city, the poultry
show which opens October 5, is al
ready attracting the attention of the
Fair visitors and this feature is prov
ing one of great interest. Many
Clackamas county poultry fanciers
will be represented with fine collec
tions and will be heard from when
the awards are announced.
Will Distribute Prizes.
In connection with the special days,
yesterday and today, at the Agricul
tural building, about thirty prizes will
be distributed from the Clackamas
county booth for the best contribu
tions of farm products. Among these
gifts, six, consisting of products of
the mill, have been donated by How
ard's mill at Mulino. The Oregon
City Manufacturing Company ha3 giv
en a pair of fine blankets. Other priz
es will Include .baskets of fruit ana
vegetables taken from the county exhibit.
Almonds in Clackamas.
V. Grisenthwaite, who is assisting
to manage the exhibit from this coun
ty, this week took down a branch of
soft-shelled almonds that were taken
from the yard of C. V. Friederick.
in this city. The branch was heavily
laden with nuts and was a surprise
to those who witnessed it, as this sec
tion of the state is not considered
adapted to the production, of nuts of
this kind. However, Mr. Friederick
has in his yard two of these trees that
are loaded with the fruit.
County Has Creditable Exhibit.
Due to the diligent and . faithful
work o a number of the rustling and
loyal residents of Clackamas county
the exhibit from this county at the
Lewis & Clark Fair has assumed
creditable proportions. It is certainly
in shape to take some of the money
when the award of prizes shall be
made. Contributions to the exhibit
have been pouring in at a lively rate
and those in charge of the display are
more than pleased. There is plenty
of room for more so let the good work
continue that the display may be kept
up to its present high standard dur
ing the closing days of the Exposition.
