Clackamas
In this great Country of ours, the land of the "Setting
Sun." no tiectlon holds a more Important place than Clacka
mas County. Itratetl in the heart of die far-fumed Wil
lamette Valley. It stands today unsurpiissed by any county
In the Pacific Northwest:
Its valleys are gardens of productiveness and beauty;
Its rivets mul mountain streams, cleur as crystal, relied the
grandest scenery In the world. The soil, climate and all con
dlllnns are adapted for successful pursuit of varied Industry.
New bonies. new chuiel-.es and school houses are being built
to keep pace with the Increase of population each yeu'r.
Clackamas County covers more than 1,900 square miles,
or 1,221.000 acres; over the rolling plains mid foothills of
Its eiislern portion roam thousands of sheep, free fromlls
ease, thriving In a kindly climate nnd fattening upon the
abundant wild pastures. Along the west bank of the Wil
lamette, near Oswego, are Immense Iron deposits, only be
ginning to be developed, and ofTerltig nlniost unlimited ma
terial for foundries.
Thousands of acres of timber, some of It the llnest in
the world, and with quarter sections cruising us high us
25.000.000 ft. tower uncut In the mountains lo the east; great
funning lauds, some of the llnest In Oregon, supply wheat
prolllllcally for the (louring mills, and openings for a wide va
riety of maiiufactui Ing plants await tho Investor.
Clnckiimns has the greatest water power of any county
In the Paclllc Northwest. Fully SOO.OOO horsepower can be
developed on the streams within the county, ul minimum
expense. Through It Hows the Willamette itiver. an unin
terrupted highway of commerce 305 days In the veur. The
Clackamas Hlver rushes down from tho Cascade Mountains,
nnd furnishes an unlimited supply of pure water, capable of
developing electric energy suftlclent to drive all the wheels
of the Paclllc Northwest.
Toduy, Clacknnins County has the largest pay roll. In
proportion to population, of any county lu the Northwest; the
county shows a bulk nnd variety of materials which chal
lenge, not only any other county In the great productive State
of Oregon, but any other locality of equal area lu the whole
country. Uirge paper mills and woolen mills are among Its
leading Industrial plants.
In Us valleys, the soil Is a deep clay loam, generally of
tho richest character, while that of the foothills is made of
decomposed volcanic rock. Tho climate Is moderate both
In w inter and' summer, rarely reaching 85 degrees in summer
and ISO degrees above lu winter. Snow Is seldom seen; hnll
has never Injured the crops, and cyclones nnd hurricanes are
unknown.
This county Is bountifully supplied with natural re
sources, nwnlling development of progressive and energetic
future citizens.

MRS. EVA EMERY DYE
SAYS ALL WAS PEACE
PRINTED REPORTS OF TROUBLE
AMONG SUFFRAGISTS WAS
UNWARRANTED.
Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. the noted au
thor, who is Just home from a trip to
Seattle, where she attended the na
tional suffrage convention, is not at
nil pleased at the newspaper reports
of the trouble that is said to have oc
curred there.
"The statements made In the news
papers were unwarranted and not
borne out by the facts." exclaimed
Mrs. Dye. "'The articles sent out
were the result of shutting the re
porters out of the convention. The
Washington affair was purely local
and was no business of the national
convention any way. Both factions
were finally seated with voice, but
without votes."
Mrs. Dye spoke last Friday evening
before the convention on "college
Women in Civil IJfo." She wore cap
and gown. On the following after
noon she was tendered a reception
by the literary people of Seattle. Sun
day morning she occupied the pulpit
of the Queen Anne Congregational
Church, her subject being "Early Mis
sionaries of the Northwest." On Snn
day afternoon she talked 'at the Chau
tauqua In Kinnear Park, on "The
Newest Fads for oung 1'eopie.
"The A. Y. P. exposition Is wonder
ful." said Mrs. Dye. "but I am loyal
to our own Uwis and Chirk Fair and
this It Is the best. The floral display
nt Seattle Is fine, a profusion of flow
ers being banked by the buildings.
Shaw Captures Robber.
Officer Shaw captured Charles Mc
Gregor Tuesday night on the. south

only 17 years of age and Is wanted
