Pat Hants, of Gladstone, has re turned from a visit to friends at Sandy and Ik amazed at the development of the eastern section of Clackamas County. Lots are selling In Sandy for $230 up to $100, depending on their location, and Caspar Junker recently paid $500 for a lot where the Fern Kldge road Intersects the Sandy road. The big general merchandise store of Melnlg Bros. Is doing a record busi ness, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows have constructed a fine hall. All the way from Sandy to Bor ing there are scores of men working in the timber, clearing the land, and from Boring to Estacada the farmB are being Improved. The coming of the Mount Hood Railway into that section and the entrance of the Ore gon Water Power Railway Company has done vonderful things In the de velopment and growth of Eastern Clackamas. PARKPLACE -DISTRICT IS SLICED IN TWAIN GLADSTONE PEOPLE REJOICING OVER DECISION THAT GIVES THEM A SCHOOL. Judge Thomas F. Ryan, County School Superintendent Gary and Geo. Laxelle, comprising the committee on sites of the Clackamas County Fair Association, went to Canby Monday and Inspected the site offered on the Walt tract. The offer of the people of Canby Is to give the association a lease on the grounds, with a three j year option of purchase, and an agree ment to subscribe for stock to the value of N$I,500, providing the fair is permanently located there. The com mittee looked over the grounds thor oughly, with a view to making a re port to the stockholders. It Is desired by those Interested In the success of the project that the question of a permanent site be speed ily settled, as the fair will be held In the early fall of the present year and there are many things to do prior to the actual opening of the fair. Buildings must be constructed and other Important matters decided. Can by is the only places at the present time that offers a race 'track, but it is a debatable question whether a race course will be a distinct advant age to the fair. The residents of Oregon City are disposed to regard Gladstone Park with favor, and it is possible that Willamette will offer a site of about four acres.

Ills popularity, coupled with a post-primary light, landed the office- for him two years ago, but conditions are different . now, .. mid . . It Is likely that. Mr. Ilealle'wlll have a very difficult tlmo to hold his position, as Mr. Greaves, though a lifelong Re publican, has never held public office, nnd Is ablo to command the votes of the fellow-members of his own party. It Is regarded as very unlikely- that he will have opposition Ju the primaries, and bo should present an undivided front at the June election.

Charles Zeek. the division of the Parkplace school district was ended Tuesday afternoon, when the district boundary board, composed of County Judge Dimick, Commissioners Killen and Lewellen, and County School Superintendent Gary, made an order creating the new district of Gladstone, leaving to Park place the territory south of the Clack amas river, which Is to be the divid ing line. The residents of Gladstone are elated over their victory. The petition of Gladstone was heard publicly yesterdxy in the county court room, Attornew H. E. Cross appearing for Gladstone. He was seconded by Ed. Harrington and Charles Tooze. the interests of Parkplace were cared for by State Senator Hedges and Cap tain J. T. Apperson and Mr. Rail talk ed against the partition of the dis trict. W. R. U'Ren made a brief dis cussion of the educational feature of the problem. The district boundary board went Into executive session, after listen ing to the arguments advanced, and announced its decision late in the af ternoon. Commissioners Lewellen and Klllen took the position that the division would have to come, as har mony was Impossible. Superintend ent Gary stated that the change would result in the establishment of better school facilities for the small child ren of Gladstone. He believes that the partition of the district will pro mote the movement for a county high schol, which would permit Parkplace to discontinue its district high school which has been operated at a large expense. Mr. Gary also took the po sition that the cost of maintenance for Parkplace was becoming greater, that two rooms would have to be ad ded, under their plan, and the expense of furnishing and fitting up these rooms had best be avoided. The Park place school is running under heavy Interest charges and will receive no special tax this year, as Clerk W. A. Holmes failed to report the special levy to the county clerk before Janu ary 1, as required by law. Gladstone will have to build a new school house and this will be done early enough for the opening of the Fall term of school. TO HOLD CONVENTION DISTRICT SESSIONS WILL TAKE PLACE AT FOUR CLACKAMAS COUNTY TOWNS. NEW BRIDGE AT ESTACADA. Howe Truss, Covered Structure Will Span Clackamas River.

'--' - At the last county convention of the Clackamas County Sunday School As sociation it was decided that conven tions should be held in each of the four, districts of the County, for the purpose of electing a district vice- president, whos duties consist of vis iting as many as he can of the schools in his district, helping and encourag ing all workers, organizing schools where needed and keeping the County secretary informed as to statistics and changes in his jurisdiction. Our state flield worker, Rev. C. A. Phlpps, of Portland, hes promised to attend all of these conventions and he, as those who have heard him know, is a whole convention in himself. The number of delegates is not lim ited, all who can possibly attend, should do so. The enthusiasm gain ed, new love for and interest in the - work, make It worth while, besides the gain in new ideas and methods. The co-operative spirit and social feature will be a distinct gain in this, as they have been In every organized move ment. Each convention is to be held one day only, and the people are re quested to bring basket dinners, thus relieving the entertaining schools of too much labor, the uncertainty as to the number who will attend rend ering it difficult to prepare for them. A partial program will be arranged for each convention, leaving time for business and for consultation on difficult phases of the work. Mr. Phippa will speak on whatever topics he finds will help most in each local ity. It is anticipated that these gath erings will prove Interesting, helpful and encouraging. The four districts embrace, respec tively, the following territory; 1. Milwaukie District Milwaukie, Harmony, Clackamas, Damascus, Rock . Creek, Stone, Boring, Mt. Scott. ' 2.
