Gladstone Residence a.,d 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 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 tosuit 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.
An abstract with each purchase, showing a complete title free of
ill incumbrance.

AWARDS ARE MADE
CLACKAMAS COUNTY PRODUCERS
RECOGNIZED AT FAIR.
Washington County, However, Takes
First Money List of Our
Prize Winners.
In the Oregon county competition
for the greatest number of agricul
tural awards at the exposition, and
tho distinction of capturing the larg
est number of first medals, the work
of tho Jury already Indicates which
will be triumphant, reports the Sun
day Journal. There Is no prospect
of any other county reaching Wash-
Ington In the number of awards, as
that stalwart old agricultural section
leads with a total of 116, while the
second best, Linn, has but 105. Uma
tilla undoubtedly will stand first in
the capture of gold medals, as It leads
Marlon by three, and the other awards
to be made will not affect this final
figure. All others save Linn and
Washington fall materially below 100
In totals.
There Is a spirit of victory with the
commissioners in charge of the lead
ing counties. They have awaited the
decisions eagerly, to wire the result
to their homes, and yesterday many
messages were sent and congratula
tions received. As the awards cover
agricultural products exclusively there
Is yet hope with some of the counties
that the finals, embracing everything
may affect the county standing to
some extent.
Ilaker county received a total of 25
awards, seven gold medals and 12
silver medals; Benton 14 awards, nine
gold and three silver medals; Colum
bia six awards, five gold and one silver
medal; Clackamas 27 awards, 7 gold
and nine silver medals; Douglas 25
awards, 10 gold and six silver medals;
Harney four awards, one gold and
two silver medals; Jackson 45 awards,
29 gold medals and 12 silver medals;
Lane CI awards, 21 gold and 24 silver
medals; Lincoln three awards, one
gold and one silver medal; Linn 105
awards, 41 gold and 40 silver medals;
Marlon 77 awards, 43 gold and 23
sliver medals; Malheur 25 awards,
five gold and 10 silver medals; Mor
row 78 awards, 27 gold and 39 silver
medals; Polk 88 awards, 27 gold and
33 silver medals; Umatilla 85 upwards
45 gold and 33 silver medals; Wasco,
43 awards, 13 gold and 16 silver med
als; Washington 112 awards. 39 gold
and 59 silver medals; Wallowa 23
awards, nine gold and nine silver
medals; Yamhill 32 awards, 18 gold
and 10 silver medals. No returns have
yet been made for Coos, Crook, Sher
man. Tillamook and union counties
Union may be a close competitor, as
It had a fine exhibit in the agrlcultur
al line.
Owing to the fact that the Oregon
counties exhibited much more exten
sively than counties of other states,
the county contest will be confined
largely to this state. This has not
reduced the Interest, as all visitors
have been impressed with the magnlfl
cence of the agricultural display from
Oregon, and have awaited Impatiently
! announcement of awards to see which
led.

BARTON BRIDGE IS ABANDONED.
Necessary Subscription, for Its Con
struction Was Not Forthcoming
The project of building a bridge
across the Clackamas river at Barton
has been abandoned by the County
Court which has ordered returned to
the Portland Bridge & Building Com
pany, the successful bidders, the cer
tifled check that accompanied its bid.
The building of this structure was
vigorously opposed from the begin
ning by the Oregon City Board of
Trade and a great many or the Grange
organizations throughout the county
for the reason that the henents re
sulting therefrom would not be com'
mensurate with the cost and would
be to the advantage of only a small
section of the county.
Wrhen the building of the bridge was
first suggested to the court the mem
bers of that body computed the cost
of the structure and agreed to ap
propriate not to exceed $6000 for the
improvement The Portland firm
agreed to perform the contract for
112.500. but the friends ot tne bridge,
even with a substantial subscription
from the O. W. P. & Ry. Co., could
not raise the balance and the building
of the bridge has gone by default .
DEMURRER HAS BEEN FILED.
Commission Announces Awards.
The comparative standing of twen
ty-four Oregon counties in their com
petition for special awards offered by
the state at tho Lewis & Clark Fair
was made public last evening, says
Wednesday's Oregonlan. The results
of this competition and the awarding
of prizes was made by an impartial
ilury composed of executive commis
stoners from outside the state. Their
'findings were presented at a banquet
! given last evening at the American
Inn bv the Lewis and Clark btate
Commission to the representatives of
exhibiting counties.
In their work of passing upon the
various county exhibits the special
jury found competition so close and
the showings made so uniformly ex
cellent that it was necessary to split
the awards. The prize of $1000 for
the best county exhibit was distribut
ed among Marion, Coos, Linn, Uma
tilla, Wasco and Lane counties. The
second award of $500 was divided
among Clackamas, Columbia, Jack
son, Polk and Morrow counties. The
third award of $300 was divided
among Benton, Yamhill, Malheur,
Union and Baker counties. For the
fourth award of $200 there are seven
claimants: Wallowa, Washington,
Sherman, Josephine, Lincoln, Harney
and Douglas counties.
The following is the list of awards
so far made to Clackamas county, the
information being furnished the En
terprise by W. Grisenthwaite. There
are some classes that have not been
passed on, viz; Flour, wool, hops, pot
tery, paintings and several on grains
and grasses.

Defense Makes Initial Move in Fran
chise Injunction Suit.
City Attorney Franklin T. Griffith
has filed a demurrer to the complaint
in the Injunction suit that was in
stituted last week to restrain Coun
cilmen Mason, Chapman and Justin
from voting on the pending Oregon
Water Power & Railway Company's
freight franchise.
The demurrer sets forth that the
court has no Jurisdiction of the per
sons of the defendants or the subject
of the suit that the plaintiff, Wm.
Andresen, has no legal capacity to
sue and that the complaint does not
state facts sufficient to constitute a
cause of suit against the defendants
or either of them.
This" is the suit brought by inter
ested property owners and taxpayers
to prevent the granting by the City
Council of a thirty-five-year freight
franchise to the street railway company.

HAS A GOOD SHOW
MOLALLA GRANGERS CHOW THE
CREAM OF THEIR PRODUCTS.
Very Creditable Agricultural Exhibit
Held at Interior Town
Premium Awards.
Molalla has held Its first Fair and
made it a grand success, notwith
standing the terrible weather we had
to contend with; which goes to prove
that after all, Molalla people, north,
south, east and west, can be depended
on in an extreme case of emergency,
writes Dr. J. W. Thomas, ot that
thriving settlement Those that
were "too busy" to assist in any way,
can also congratulate themselves that
while they were enjoying peaceful
slumbers, the faithful ones were
"burning mid night oil" to drive the
enterprise along.
While it was a free Fair for every
body it paid running expenses from
the sale of two quilts. Ralph Sawtell
got the quilt No. 1, and James Dickey
Quilt No. 2. The lower hall served
as the pavilion, the upper hall aa the
Art Gallery, the School House Hall,
the Auditorium, the horse shed the
stock pens, the high places on the
ground the "Trail" and the low places
the Lake.
There were about 500 entries and
many exhibits brought in at the
'Eleventh hour" after the Judges or
awards were out on their duties.
The Yoder Brass Band furnished
the greater part of the music, which
was well appreciated. Had the weather
been favorable, for a concentrated
mass of humanity, "Portland Day" at
Lewis & Clark, would have hardly
been In It (everything considered);
Many expressed themselves, that the
Molalla Fair exceeded the Clackamas
county exhibit in many respects.
The "Howard Bread Premium" was
awarded to Mrs. E. T. B. Thomas, 1st,
and Mrs. Delia Shaver, 2d, for best
bread baked from Howard's Flour.
In the Juvenile department for the 3
best apples, Ross Sawtell got the rifle,
and Peadl Harless the mending tools.
awarded by J. W. Thomas, for the
best display of fruit
The exhibit was a varied one, and
showed the wonderful resources of
Molalla country, from Table Rock to
the county's Western boundary. In
the premium list there may be some
errors and no notice given many
worthy exhibits, by being overlooked
on account of the great rush for time.
