OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, FEBrUArV H, 146f.
REAL ESTATE SALES ARE
BECOMING NUMEROUS
TERRITORY BETWEEN OREGON
CITY AND PORTLAND
BUILDING-
NUMEROUS SALES ARE REPORTED
New Buildings to be Erected In VI
cinlty of Rlnearson Place
and Glad
stone. The real estate transfers printed
daily In the Star indicate that there
la an active movement In Clackamas
county real estate. It also is encour
aging to note that property is being
sold at reasonable figures, in fact at
much lower ratos per acre than is de
manded in interior counties farther re
moved from the niar"ket centers.
Clackamas county lands are held
at a less figure than in any other
county in the Willamette valley, while
at the same time the fertility of the
soil Is everything that can be desir
ed, and there Is the further advant
age of close proximity to Portland,
the best market town on the coast
Suburban property between Oregon
City and Portland has been active dur
ing the last few months and bids fair
to continue. Judge Thomas F. Ryan
has completed another deal irhlrt
transfers 14 acres of the E. E. Will
lams tract, in what is known as West
Gladstone near the Rinearson ranch,
to N. E. Randall for $3000.
Mr. Randall will build a handsome
residence on his newly acquired prop
erty. Prof. Reed of the Parkplace
school has also bought some property
in that vicinity and he and his father
will begin the erection of twr homes.
It is reported that several otuer resi
dences are to be built shortly.
The building activity that has been
going on during the past year in that
direction has been aiding materially
in the work of the board of trade,
which has advocated the problem of
better transportation facilities. The
committee, in looking forward to the
settling up of the country between
this city and Portland, has found
many advantages that can be secured
in the way of lowering the transporta
tion rates between this city and the
metropolis. As this desirable section
of the country becomes more thickly
settled the demand for better rates
will become stronger.
The members of the board and the
greater majority of th merchants of
this city are now expressing them
selves as favoring the adoption of low
er rates of transportation, and have
come to the conclusion that low pas
sengers rates as well as low freight
rates wouitl beneficially aid in the
growth of the city. ,
Some of the members of the board
, of trade express themselves as favor
ing a strong organization of the busi
ness people and citizens that will
make a united pull for one common
object, the breaking up of the com
bine of the three transportation com
panies that have killed off all compe
tition. They realize that this can be
accomplished only by a united move
of the entire business population.
SOCIAL A SUCCESS.

have such a good country as this
great state of Oregon and the advant
ages and facilities we have. Mr.

Is there not a law against allowing
obscene matter to pass through the
V. S, malls? Then why Is the report
of the Thaw trial permitted to stare
one In the face from the pages of a
responsible, respectable paper like the

and the average render would prefer
not to be made familiar with the Bil
lingsgate vaudeville of a north end

The road boss had a few men out
