Gladstone Residence 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 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.

Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Sommer,
of Oregon City, is in attendance, and
holds out but slight hope for the lad's
recovery.

covered, he was terribly injured. He

time Dr. Sommer ordered his re

All day yesterday the sorrowing par
ents watched by the bedside of their
son, hoping almost against hope. Ev
erything that medical and surgical
skill can accomplish has been done,
and it remains for the future to tell
whether the lad will recover. If he

In the annual municipal election to oes nt be a,CI!lpple for life, as
be held in this city in December.
there are to be elected a Mayor, three
Councilmen and a City Treasurer.
But in the nomination of candidates
for these offices, the provisions of the
direct primary nominating law will
not be invoked for' the reason that
the proper registration of the voters
has not been had for that purpose.
As in previous city elections, candi
dates for the respective offices will
be placed on the official ballot by peti
tion. Dr. E. A. Sommer, the present May
or, will not be a candidate
to succeed himself. Probable candi
dates for this office have not yet posi
tively developed although the friends
of both Dr. W. E. Carll and E. G. Cau
neia, a iormer Mayor, are urging
them to make the race. Both of these
gentlemen are positively opposed to
the pending O. W. P. & Railway
freight franchise and except this
question, which is now held up in the
courts on injunction proceedings, is
determined before the time for elec
tion, the franchise subject will be the
issue in the campaign. It is not
known whom the franchise advocates
expect to nominate. But it is a set
tled fact that whoever the nominees
for Mayor and members of the Coun
cil may be, it is certain that each will
be obliged to definitely and positively
define his position on the question of
granting practically unending fran
chises to valuable privileges to private
corporations. This question was be
lieved to have been the issue on which
the campaign was based one year ago
when it was generally understood that
an anti-franchise administration had
been elected but when the question
of granting the O. W. P. Railway Com
pany a valuable franchise to Main
street was presented a few weeks ago,
it was discovered that the measure
had the support of eight of the nine
members of the Council besides the
indorsement of the Mayor.
The three retiring Councilmen are
R. Koerner, of the first ward; M. P.
Chapman, of the second; and C. M.
Mason, of the third: all of them be
ing supporters of the franchise. There
will also be elected a successor to
Alderman Sheahan, of the Second
Ward, another friend of the franchise,
who has removed from the city hav
ing two years more to serve. The many
friends of Wm. R. Logus are urging
him to become a candidate from the
Second Ward for aldermanic honors,
but the names of other probable can
didates for membership in the Coun
cil have not been disclosed.
City Treasurer F. J. Meyers will be
asked by his friends to retain the of
fice for another year, but there is
already strong probability that there
will be an opposition candidate in the
field. Jack R. Caufleld is being groom
ed as a candidate for this nomination
and may contest with Meyers for the
place.
Interest in the approaching election
hinges on the outcome of the pending
injunction suit which it is believed

E. G. Caufleld for Mayor.
A petition was circulated Tuesday
among the business men of the city
asking E. G. Caufleld to accept the
nomination for Mayor at the annual
municipal election to be held in this
city on the first Monday in December.
The petition was largely signed. Mr.
Caufleld is a former Mayor of the city
and is one of the principal stockhold
ers of the Bank of Oregon City.
Mayor Sommer will not be a can
didate to succeed himself. Accom
panied by Mrs. Sommer, the Doctor

At Pomona Grange regular meeting
at Barlow Wednesday there were
about 100 in attendance for the din
ner, supper and entertainment furnish
ed. Seventeen were initiated into the
fifth degree. A dance followed the
programme. Breakfast was served in
the Grange Hall, and the guests left,
feeling that the meeting had been
highly successful.
Miss Laura Clay, of Lexington, Ky.,
a daughter of Cassius M. Clay, ad
dressed the members of Pomona
Grange , upon the subject of the com
ing movements for the cause of
woman's suffrage. Miss Gail Laugh
lin, of Maine, also spoke impressively
upon the same topic. Resolutions in
dorsing the cause were passed, and
the distinguished speakers were heart
ily thanked for their entertaining and
impressive lectures.
The fourth annual grange fair of
the Milwaukie assembly closed last
Saturday night after the most suc
cessful session it has ever held. There
were products of the field from the
pumpkin, round and rosy to the odo
riferous onion. There were crazy
quilts, made in 1830, and needle work
of all sorts, from the ancient tatting
piece to the modern doily. There were
rubber plants and green corn, brown
Leghorns and school essays, photo
graphs of Milwaukie scenery and
drawnwork handkerchiefs, and if
there was a product of the farm, or
field or orchard, a line of local indus
try, or achievement of local genius,
that was not shown, the fact, was not
noted by the weary judges who Sat
urday made awards in a dozen classes
and 50 sub-divisions.
All day Saturday the farmers of the
region near Milwaukie and Clackamas
county at large came to see the fair,
renew their friendships with fellow
grange members and participate in
the closing dance. The town looked j
like a county fair center during the
annual festivities, and all day the
women of the grange were kept busy
in the fraternal hall serving luncheon
to the hungry ""visitors.
The closing dance was the event of
the fair, and the big hall was so
crowded with couples that waltzing
was something of a feat. The band
and orchestra furnished " music, and
weary teams were plodding dusty
roads until the early hours of the
morning.
Friday night the exhibit hall was
crowded with the audience that at
tended the exercises. President W.
K. Newell of the State Agricultural
Society gave the principal address,
taking for his subject the growing and
inspection of fruit.
A baby show was one of the features
of the fair and prizes were awarded
to the following: Mildred Murray,
Frances McCarthy, Opal Downing,
Floyd McCann and Mildred Mullan.

The visit to this city a few days
ago, of Messrs. Rhodes, St. Clair, and
Butcher, of Philadelphia bankers, who
were in conference with W. P. Haw
ley, a local capitalist of extensive
means, is considered significant aa
pertaining to transportation interests
of the Willamette Valley. These gen
tlemen are the principal capitalists
who are identified with the proposed
building of an electric railway line
between Portland and Roseburg. They
also have interests in the movement
for a prospective transcontinental
line extending from Ogden via the
Klamath Lake country to Eugene and
thence to the Coos Bay district.
Acompanied by Mr. Hawley, these
railroad promoters visited the Santi
am country east of Albany where Mr.
Hawley owns extensive water rights
that may be utilized for motive yower
in generating the necessary electricity
with which the proposed system will
be operated pending a determination
as to the feasibility of employing this
power for railroad purposes.
These eastern bankers are the ex
clusive owners of the electric and gas
properties at Salem and have similar
interests at Eugene. It is further re
ported that arrangements have been
made whereby the company will enter
Portland by the West Side over the
line of the Portland Consolidated sys
tem. The building of the road, which
will be begun soon, will be accom
plished in sections, the first division,
to be undertaken, being that between
Portland and Salem. While no direct
route has been mapped out for the
course of the line, the road will ex
tend down the Valley from Roseburg
nearly parallel with" the Southern Pa
cific Company's line to Hubbard or
Aurora, when it will cross the Willam
ette and penetrate the rich farming
section of the West Side.
The only point in Clackamas coun
ty that will be touched by the line is
the Southeastern corner at Wilson
ville. The ultimate result of the en
terprise it is claimed will be a trans
continental road and with that idea
in view, the construction of the road
will be of a permanent and durable
character as to road-bed and rolling .
stock.
In connection with the Willamette
Valley road, it is rumored that the
same parties have acquired control
of the narrow guage branch line of
the Western Nevada, California and
Oregon Railroad extending from Cen
tral Nevada, where it leaves the main
branch of Gould's Western Pacific
Ogden-San Francisco system into Mo
doc county. This is to be converted
into a standard guage and eventually
extended into the Klamath country
thence over the mountains to Eugene
and then diverted in a southwesterly
direction to Coos Bay.
The capitalists who are identified
with these prospective Improvements
profess' to mean business to give evi
dence of their good faith at a not far
distant time. .
BOND HAS BEEN FILED.
The bond for a deed covering the
transfer by the Bank of Oregon City
to the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Pa
per Company of the Broughton saw
mill property, certain lots and blocks
and some acreage in and near this
city, was filed Tuesday in the office of
the County Recorder. The considera
tion for the transaction was $5000, of
which a cash payment of $500 is re
quired. It is the purpose of the newly
organized Crown-Columbia Company
to materially enlarge and improve its
Oregon City paper making plant, by
the erection of new buildings on the
property thus acquired.
