Gladstone Residence ;nd 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.

For a second time Injunction pro
ceedings have been resorted to in or
der that the passage of the proposed
Oregon Water Power and Railway
Company freight franchise by, the
Oregon City Council may be further
delayed. Hut It 1b not the fault of
the street railway company's friends
in the Council that the ordinance
granting the franchise was not passed
at a special adjourned meeting that
was held last Saturday night. But
for the timely interference of Sheriff
Shaver, armed with Injunction papers,
the ordinance In another five minutes
would have been passed and the op
position to the pending legislation
would all have been In vain so far as
preventing the enactment of the ordi
nance. During last Saturday afternoon. Cir
cuit Judge Frazer, of the Portland dis
trict, rendered his decision, dismiss
ing the original application for a re
straining order that was calculated to
prevent Councllmen Mason, Chapman
and Justin from voting on the pend
ing franchise ordinance for the rea
son that the three had entered the
employ of the street railway company
at advanced wages and subsequent to
the time of their election to the Coun
cil. Word that the application had
been dismissed was promptly tele
phoned the Interested counsel In this
city and the oyj ) ints of the meas
ure Immediately oecame very busy
drafting papers In another Injunction
proceeding by which the entire Coun
cil is sought to be restrained from a
further consideration of the ordi
nance.
By hurriedly convening at 7:40
o'clock Saturday evening, 20 minutes
In advance of the customary time of
meeting, the friends of the franchise
expected to be able to accomplish the
enactment of the ordinance granting
the franchise before further interfer
ence could be offered by the opposi
tion. With that purpose In view,
Mayor Sommer, Recorder Dlmlck and
Councilman Brandt, Chapman, Justin,
Kelly, Mason and Straight all friend
ly to the ordinance assembled at the
city hall at 7:40 and hurriedly con
vened the meeting. But Recorder
Dlmlck had scarcely read one-half of
the long ordinance when Sheriff Sha
ver, accompanied by Attorneys G. L.
Hedges, Eastham and Curry and E. G.
Caufleld, who appears as plaintiff in
the present pending suit, entered the
Council Chamber and then it was
plain to be seen that the game was
up.
"What Is the pleasure of the Coun
cil regarding the ordinance that has
been read." inquired Mayor Sommer
as Recorder Dlmlck concluded read
ing the subject matter of the fran
chise. "I have here an order that I desire
to read," interrupted Sheriff Shaver
who arose simultaneously, and, ad
vancing to the desk of the Mayor, pro
duced the temporary restraining or
der that had been obtained from
County Judge Ryan in the absence
of Circuit Judge McBrlde.
"This is entirely out of order," com:
1 mented Mayor Sommer but the Sher-
; iff maintaintd the floor and was in the
1 act of producing his spectacles pre
i paratory to reading the order when
i Recorder Dlmlck volunteered to per
form the service.
And then the fury of some or the
enraged Councilmen broke loose. E
D. Kelly, who was recently elected to
succeed Wm. Sheahan until the regu
lar election in December, was the first
spokesman. He denounced the mo
tives of those behind the "government
by injunction" proceeding and assert
ed that there are "politics" in the
game. He abused Mr. Caufleld and
everybody else who had the temerity
to oppose the pending ordinance.
He then directed his remarks against
Councilman Koerner, of the First
Ward, whom he censured for having
originally supported the franchise as
chairman of the committee that draft
ed the ordinance, while he is now op
posed to It.
When Mr. Kelly had concluded, Mr.
Koerner spoke in explanation of the
position he holds towards the pending
franchise. He admitted that he was
a member of the committee that pre
pared the ordinance but said he pro
posed to be governed and controlled
in his support or opposition thereto
by the expressed desires of his con
stituents. From the petitions that
had been presented on the subject,
Mr. Koerner said he was convinced
that a majority of the property own
ers on Main street and these were
the people directly concerned are
positively opposed to the granting of
the franchise as is proposed and for
that reason he could not consistently
support the measure.
Chapman moved that the matter of
making a defense in the suit be sub
mitted to City Attorney Franklin T.
Griffith. This was successful as was
also another motion that the Council
hold another adjourned meeting
Monday evening. 1
In the suit that is now pending, E.
G. Caufleld appears as the plaintiff.
As to allegations, the complaint is
substantially the same as that sub
scribed to by Wm. Andresen in suit
No. 1, save that Mr. Caufleld spec!
fles more particularly the character
and extent of the damage he alleges
will result to his property by reason
of the oporation of freight trains as
allowed under the provisions of the
franchise.
LaFayette Moore, Pioneer Resident,
Lost Hit Life Sunday.
While blasting Btumps on his farm
near New Era Sunday, LaFayette
Moore, an old and respected Clack
amas county pioneer, lost his life by
the premature explosion of a heavy
charge of giant powder with which he
was operating.
The explosive, which was placed
beneath a huge stump, became Ig
nited before the unfortunate man
could reach a place of safety. The
body was fearfully mangled and death
was instantaneous.
Coroner Holman made an investi
gation but deemed an inquest unneces
sary. Mr. Moore was 81 years of age
and was an old settler in Clackamas
county. He is survived by a widow
aged 75 years.
The remains were taken to Port
land Tuesday where burial took place.

FOREMAN GODFREY, OF STATE
PRINTING OFFICE HAS IDEA...
Considers That to Abolish the Office
Would be Mistake Gives His
Reasons.
J. E. Godfrey, foreman of the State
Printer's office, at Salem, was in the
city last Saturday. Mr. Godfrey is
naturally somewhat interested in the
proposed constitutional amendment
providing for the abolishment of that
office.
Mr. Godfrey has been employed In
the office of State Printer for 29 con
secutive years and is thoroughly ac
quainted with the details of that de
partment of the state government.
He considers that it will be a mis-
Nine hundred and ninety-seven
awards, including 104 gold, 153 silver
and 348 bronze medals and 392 hon
orable mention diplomas says the
Telegram.
This is the showing made by the
State of Oregon at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, in horticultural and
pomological products.
The official list of awards was given
out this morning by Colonel Henry E.
Dosch, director of exhibits. They are
the first official awards to be given
out.
"Never before In the history of any
exposition has the official list of di
plomas for medals been given out so
quickly," said Colonel Dosch. "Little
more than two weeks have elapsed
since the Fair closed, and we are able
to make public an official list of fruit
awards. In two weeks more, all
awards will have been made public.
"The returns from the St. Louia
Exposition are not all in even yet, a
year after the closing of that Fair. I
had some of my own fruit entered
there, and only the other day I got
word that it all went well, I would be
apprised of my awards shortly."
To Colonel Dosch himself, more
than to anyone else, is due the credit
for having the official lists so nearly
completed and the fine showing made.,.
Although set back at the beginning of
his work by unavoidable delays, since
then he has labored unceasingly to
finish with expediency and accuracy.
Every award has been carefully re
viewed by him to avoid any possibil
ity of mistake.
At the present time, the relative
standing of Oregon and the other
states having fruit displays at ine
abolish the office of State Printer as position cannot be given, as the other
lists are not yet nmsneu. u is
is proposed under the constitutional
amendment that is now being consid
ered. In case the office is abolished
the amendment now being considered
proposes having all state printing
done by contract. This, insists Mr.
Godfrey, would result in great dissat
isfaction and eventually would prove
no less expensive than under the pres
ent system.
Rather than do away wltn the of
fice all together, Mr. Godfrey says a
more feasible way out of the situation
would be for the state to own Its
printing plant in its entirety, elect a
state printer in the same manner as
is now done and place that officer on
a remunerative flat salary.
The Durpose of Mr. Godfreys visit
to this city at this time was to see Mr.
W. S. U'Ren and submit his iaea3 on
the subject before the proposea
amendment is finally prepared lor
submission to the voters. Mr. U'Ren
being out of the city, the Salem visi
tor was disappointed.
however, that Oregon is well to the
front. All of the judging in horticul
ture was done by H. E. Van Deman,
ex-United States Pomologist, who of
flciated in a similar capacity at uui
falo and St Louis. For two months
he has worked constantly, and hia de
cisions are final.
A LOCAL EXCHANGE ASSURED.
Rural Telephone Subscribers To Be
Given City Connections.
Dr. J. W. Thomas and L. W. Rob
bins, representatives of the Molalla
Mutual Telephone Association, on
Tuesday received assurance that an
organization of Oregon City business
men will be immediately effected, by
which the rural telephone systems of
the county will be furnished connec
tion with this city at once. The coun
ty is well supplied with rural lines.
The Molalla Association has 500 sub
scribers. This is quite the proper thing and
for which the rural subscribers have
been justly contending. When the
various mutual associations were or
ganized, assurance was then given
those becoming subscribers thereto,
that there would be organized at this
end of the line a local exchange by
which the rural service might be ex
tended into the city and connections
made with business houses and pri
vate residences. This service is now
promised and the result will be a
still further growth of the rural tele
phone systems which are destined to
remain a permanent improvement of
great worth to both the country and
city people.
Clackamas county exhibitors did
their part In contributing to this
gratifying result. Awards were made
to Clackamas county people as fol
