i i woniy nvo nunurou uuiihib
tie over half an acre of unoultlvntod
Clackamna county land. Thja ia the
price paid by Sam Jackson, editor of
the Portland Journal Inst week for
68100 ot an aero known ai the old
hatchery site.
The wealthy editor of the Portland
Journal needed the little tract ai an
addition to hla beautiful summer homo
at Clear Crrek, whore ho and hla
coterie or wealthy Portlandort wile
away their week-ends far from the
busy whirl of city llfo.
The purchase waa nobody's business
except Mr. Jackson's, ot course, and
yet tho transaction calls for some
casual observations which my or may
not be pertinent.
Mr. Jackson la tho self proclaimed
guardlnn of the Interests ot tho atrug
gltng farmer, and the downtrodden
laboring man, it hts edltoctul page in
tho Journal is to be seriously consid
ered. He ia tho arch enemy of the
land grabber, tho real estate specula
tor, and the owner of Idle lands. It's
a fight to a finish, with the Portland
Journal sounding the bugle, and carry
ing the banner at the head ot the pa
rade. So reads tho Journal editorial
page.
Now for the moment Editor Jackson
steps down and out of hjs editorial
page and takes part In a little real
estate deal which has proven to bo a
rather astounding transaction, when
land values In the Clear Creek country
are considered. Editor Jackson's mug
nlflcent country villa Is located about
alx miles east ot Oregon City In what
Is known as the Daker's I1r,ldgo coun
try. There are some good farms In tho
community, there are some good lands,
and somo mighty good people, hut tho
combination does not warrant tho
tabllshment of a precedent ot Axing
land values at $3800 an aero.
No one hut Mr. Jackson would huro
paid tho price, It Is true, and It Is also
true that had anyone but Mr. Jacksou
gone Into such a speculation nothing
would havo been thought about tho
matter, Heal homeseekers, men of
the soil who want to purchase farms,
for AGRICULTURAL purposes -who
havo been finding solace In tho Jour
nal's campaign against tho land specu
lators. In tho vain hope that farm land
prices would bo brought within reach
of the man ot limited capital, are now
watching tho effect of Mr. Jackson's
action, A deal ot this kind does not
bring new opportunities to tho man ot
limited means. Tho effect Is Indirect,
but nevertheless far-reaching,
Clackamas lands are rich, they are
worth money and the man who soils la
entitled lo, and should recelvo a good
prlio-a fair price. Hut 12500 for
till 100 of an ucro ot uncultivated farm
land Is too much money altogether, In
Clackamas or any other county.
It Is to be hoped that Mr. Jackson
will find Ws new venture a paying in
vestment that will eventually reap big
dlvldnns. Just what use will bo inndo
ot the little tract Is not known, but
there Is no doubt that it was a much
needed llttlo corner for his magnificent
country estate. Tho rich editor of tho
Portland Journal evidently wauted Jt,
the owner was hunted up, and the deal
was made.
