Gladstone ResiuNce 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 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.

HOLD LOVE FEAST
OREGON REPUBLICANS HOLD A
CONFERENCE AT PORTLAND.
The Fenton substitute was then carried.
Adopt Resolutions Pledging Har
mony, Commend Roosevelt and
Chairman Baker.
Five hundred Oregon Republicans,
representing every section of the
state, held a love feast and confer
ence at Portland last Thursday, the
sessions being held at the Baker
Theatre. 1
In the organization of the meeting
a surprise was sprung when Frank
Davey, of Salem, was elected chair
man over Senator E.- "W. Haines, of
Washington county, who was slated
for the place. Grant B. Dimick, of
this city, was the secreetary, and was
also chairman of the committee on
resolutions.
Following the organization of the
meeting, speech-making was partici
pated in, the first speaker being Sen
ator Fulton, who promptly took to the
stage and responded with a vigorous
address, in which he declared himself
in favor of tariff revision. Federal
regulation of rail rates, faithful ap
plication of the primary law and union
of Republican forces in Oregon. He
was followed by J. F. Caples, Multno
mah; Walter L. Tooze, Marion and
Wallace McCamant, Multnomah.
Mr. Tooze brought to the attention
of his auditors that other rivers than
the Columbia were in need of improve
ment for navigation, and said that the
several harbors on the coast south
of the Columbia should receive Na
tional appropriations. As for loyalty
to party nominees, Mr. Tooze said
that he and his friends had always
supported the ticket, nod that their
example could be offered as a good
lesson to Multnomah county. They
were spending a good deal of money
and effort, he said, to "get you (Mult
nomah County) in the notion of sup
porting the Repulican ticket."
"The people cannot lead without in
telligent leadership, declared W. D.
Fenton in the peace conference as he
urged adoption of a resolution calling
for county and state conventions next
year for ratification of primary can
didates and promulgation of party
principles, to the end that the party
may be organized under able chiefs
for the June election.
The committee had just reported a
set of resolutions which pledged the
members of the conference to observ-
ance'of the direct primary law and to
support of the primary nominees. The
resolution of Mr. Fenton had not been
acepted by the committee, and when
adoption of the report came before the
conference, Mr. Fenton moved that
his resolution be submitted for that
part of the report dealing with the
subject. This was- done with a voice
almost unanimous. The substitution
was opposed by C. F. Lord and Levi
W. Myers.
Early in the afternoon session Mr.
Fenton had been called to the plat
form by the conference for a speech.
His remarks were extemporaneous,
but the most noteworthy and impres
sive of the lovefeast, for he held his
auditors as no other speaker and car
ried them along with his idea with
hardly any opposition whatever.
"The people never did anything,"
j said he, slanting his remarks at the
j utterances of those who had declared
that the people should run their own
I politics, independent of the bosses,
"without intelligent leadership. If you
as Republicans, expect to be what
you have been in the past, you must
have regard for organization and re
spect for reasonable leadership. And,
since I shall probably have nothing
to do personally with the leadership,
I can speak, as I am doing, with free
dom. "One thing this state has needed for
a decade is a race of men who have
convictions, and who will stand by
them, not fearing defeat once or twice
or thrice, but asking themselves "Am
I right?"
The speaker mentioned the evils of
boss-control exhibited in Philadelphia
as "sporadic, occasional and accident
tal." "Do not destroy all political or
ganization," said he, "because you
have had men you could not follow,"
and further along in his remarks he
said as to the lack of a party platform
and central committee: "Do not have
a desultory campaign without leader
ship an army without generals. With
Republicans united, standing on a plat
form committed to something and not
to generalities there need be no fear
of what an election will bring forth."
Mr. Fenton added that if the party
should continue unorganized as in
the last city election in Portland, "the
same political anarchy will continue."
Levi W. Myers rose to combat the
statements of Mr. Fenton, "ut soon
found himself in a tangle with Chair
man Davey for having misquoted the
remarks of Mr. Fenton and the con
ference promptly shut him off. Fur
ther along, when Mr. Fenton had
moved the substitution of his resolu
tion, he was combatted ineffectually
by C. F. Lord, who insisted that his
motion was out of order, but the ob
jection was overruled by the chair
and Mr. Fenton stoke asrain. He said
thot .1 ,1 - , 3S4.S (. 1 I
L 1,4 . uutici pi cacui uuuuxliuus Lilt 1 1;
was no means of declaring party prin
ciples, everybody was for himself and
the devil took the hindmost, and can
didates were slaughtered- in the house
of their friends."
Mr. Fenton's remarks were warmly
commended by J. L. Collins, of Dallas,
an elderly man, one of the founders
of the party, who declared that without'-
organization there could - be no
victory. -
Resolution Adopted.
The following resolutions were
adopted at the Conference:
Pledge for Harmony.
Resolved, That the Republicans
here assembled, proud of the brilliant
achievements of the Republican party,
and confident of its continued useful
ness in the future, renew their en
thusiasm in the faith, and pledge each
other to work together in harmony and
good fellowship, with the single pur
pose of securing to the Nation and
to the state a perpetuation of the prin
ciples of the Republicanism of Lin
coln; and to that end we unite in call
ing upon our fellow-citizens, whatever
their past affiiliations may have been,
to join us in an honest endeavor to
put aside personal differences and lo
cal prejudices, and to establish the
Republican party in . Oregon upon a
firm and enduring basis. .
Republican Harmony.
.Resolved, That we reaffirm the prin
ciples of the Republican National
platform, adopted at Chicago, June
22, 1904, and congratulate the country
upon the continuation of the era of
prosperity that began under the wise
and beneficient administration of pub
lic affairs by a Republican President
Land a Republican Congress. There
never was a time or place in the his
tory of the world when the blessings
of life were more bounteously bestow
ed, than upon the American Nation to
day. - American citizens enjoy advant
ages that others well may envy; and
while foreigners so fully appreciate
the benefits to be had under the Stars
and Stripes that they are now pour
ing into this country in unprecedented
numbers, it is a source of gratification
to our people that our great industrial
growth and the unexampled develop
ment of the resources of mine and
farm and workshop since 1897 is due
to the fact that the Republican party,
with its policy of protection, and with
its firm stand 'for a safe and honest
monetary system, has exercised . the
functions of government. With such
a bright record of achievement, the
Republican party expects a continu
ance of the confidence heretofore
manifested in the public elections.
And we, therefore, call upon the peo
ple of Oregon to give their support in
the next elections to the party of pro
tection and prosperity.
Roosevelt Commended.
Resolved, That the unprecedented
majority given by the voters of Ore
gon to the Republican Electoral ticket
at the election last November, was
an expression of confidence in the sin
cerity and honesty of purpose and the
ability of President Roosevelt. His
administration of the affairs of the
Nation, at home and abroad, aflid his
activity in promoting the peace of the
world, justify the faith that the com
mon people have in him as a wise and
patriotic executive officer. The Re
publicans of Oregon, here in conven
tion assembled, respectfully extend to
him our congratulations upon the suc
cessful termination of his efforts to
bring to a close the protracted and
bitter war between two nations with
whom our country has ever maintain
ed most cordial relations of friendship
and amity. We especially commend
the steps taken by him to promote in
ternal peace and contentment in the
Philippines, and to encourage the
trade relations of our people with
the several nations of the Orient. . In
his battle for civic righteousness he
is entitled to the co-operation of all
good citizens.
Rivers and Harbors.
Resolved, That in the judgment of
the Republicans here assembled, it is
important to secure from the Govern
ment at Washington, sufficient appro
priations to complete the improve
ments under construction at the mouth
of the Columbia River and at ' Celilo,
as well as at other places upon the
bays and harbors and principal water
courses of the State of Oregon, as
promptly as possible, and that the
growing importance of the commerce
of this state justifies us in expecting
at the hands of Congress such liberal
appropriation for our rivers and har
bors as will at once and for all time
remove all bariers and open our state
to the exchange of commercial pro
ducts with the markets of the world.
Direct Primary Law.
Resolved, That it is the deliberate
judgment of the Republicans of the
State of Oregon in voluntary associ
ation convened
First That the direct-primary law
should be honestly, faithfully, and loy
ally observed in spirit and letter in
making all nominations of candidates
for public office elective by the people
contemplated by the same, and any
defects that may be reasonably ap
parent in the administration of said
law should be noted and referred to
the next Legislative Assembly of the
State of Oregon for correction, re
vision or amendment, as experience
may demonstrate.
Second That the Republicans of
every precinct in each county of this
state be urged to bring before the elec
tors at - such primary election to be
voted for as candidates for nomina
tion such leading, influential and rep
resentative Republicans as can be in
duced to stand for such nominations
at such primary election, and that in
making such selection the Republican
electors should choose their candi
dates without regard to any past fac
tional division or previous identifica
tion with any so-called faction, and
solely with regard to their ability, in
tegrity, honesty and fitness . for the
office for which the candidate may be
nominated.
Third That when capable, efficient,
and honest men have been nominated
at the primary election, and have be
come the regular Republican candi
dates for the respective positions for
which they have been chosen, they are
entitled to ..and deserve the loyal, cor
dial and enthusiastic support Of every
Republican elector in the state, and
to this end and in order that such
nominations may be fully ratified and
approved, it is the judgment of the
GETS TEN MONTHS
CONGRESSMAN J. N. WILLIAMSON
GETS SENTENCE AND FINE.
His Two Associates Are Also Sen
tenced Ira Wade is Acquitted.
Portland, Or., Oct. 14. Ten months'
imprisonment and a fine of $500 was
the sentence pronounced upon Con
gressman J. N. Williamson in the
United States court today by Judge
Hunt of Montana when Mr. William
son and his associates in the trial ap
peared for sentence. Calmly, with his
hands in his pockets, a serene look
upon his face and without a flinch, the
Eastern Oregon congressman and
sheep rancher, took his sentence, and
when asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounc
ed upon him he answered laconically:
1 guess it has all been said, Judge.
Marion R. Biggs, the United States
commissioner, who was also sentenc
ed, received the same sentence, and
Dr. Van Gesner, Williamson's partner
in the sheep business, who is old and
in ill health, was given five months
m the county jail and a fine of $1000
was exacted from him.
Judge Bennett, counsel for Cong
ressman Williamson, interposed an
objection on the ground that his client
was a member of congress, and the
imposing of sentence would interfere
with his attendance at Washington
and conflict with his constitutional
rights. This was overruled.
Judge Hunt took occasion to lecture
the defendants, especially Congress
man Williamson, holding up to him
the enormity of the alleged crime and
pointing a moral for young men in
the convietion of the congressman.
(Continued on Page 8.)
Ira Wade Acquitted.
Portland, Or., Oct 14. The case of
Potter, Jones and Wade charged with
conspiracy to defraud the government,
went to the jury tonight. After an
absence from the court room of 30
minutes the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty in the case of Potter and
Jones, while Ira Wade, clerk of Lin
coln county, was found "not guilty."
Three ballots only were taken by the
jurors, and on each one of them Wade
was found not guilty. On the third
ballot the jurors agreed on the other
two men's guilt, and the case was
brought to a speedy termination. Mr.
Wade and his attorney, J. R. Wyant
of Albany were the recipients of many
congratulations from friends and spec
tators in the court room.
"HONEST HEARTS."
Monday Night, October 23, at Shive
ly's Opera House.
Kentucky, never failing source of
romantic comedies has supplied the
stage with one more play, "Honest
Hearts," which Alma Hearn has chos
en for her starring tour this season.
She plays -the part of Marty, a coun
try beauty in her teens, who falls in
love with a young government engin
eer who happens in her neighborhood
while working on the Cumberland
river. He is captivated in spite of
Marty's lack of education and a jeal
ous woman, Rose Osborne, from Ci'n
cinatti plots revenge while the engin
eer's artistocratic mother is shocked.
David Weathersby, father of Marty,
and a sterling old Kentucky farmer,
is a fine commanding figure in the -play
and there are many quaint and
humorous characters. The romance -in
"Honest Hearts" is fascinating and
genuine humor forms a large part of
every one of the four acts. Such
scenes as the old Kentucky home, the
homestead barn and on the Cumber
land river, a stream of great beauty,
are supplied with much true and pic
turesque detail. An excellent com
pany brings out the wealth of char
acter studies and the comedy, while
Miss Hearn plays Marty as no other
comedienne can.
