Show Us Up
What We Are
Little Andrew Jairl, aged 11 years,
was a sad looking sight when he ar
rived in this city from Salem his
home yesterday afternoon. He had
run off to visit his grandmother in

yesterday evening.
"Where were you headed for," ask
ed Deputy Hackett of ithe lad, when

again and went to sleep. . His feet
did not touch the floor; he was dead
tired, and in his dreams he mumbled

look crept into the eyes of the
sheriff's deputies when they looked
at the sleeping lad.

ed Jones, the janitor at the court
house, as he woke up the lad for his
journey back to his parents.

lowing report:
To the members of the Commercial
club of Oregon City:
It isthe duty of your president as
per terms of. your By-latfs to submit
for your consideration yearly an an
nual report. Therefore it is with
pleasure that I would submit the fol
lowing for your earnest consider
ation: "
During the past year the Com
mercial club of Oregon City has taken '
up many matters of importance for
our city and county, amongst them
which have been;
The carrying to a successful con
elusion the campaign for a modern
and up-to-date fire equipment and
city hall for Oregon City. Just at
present the city faces a difficulty in
the sale of fire truck bonds. The
City Council has appointed a commit
tee from its body to dispose of the
amount of bonds to local interests,
and we should give them our assist
ance and hearty co-operation.
The club through its various com
mittees has worked hard toward the
end that the new bridge connecting
Oregon City and West Linn and the
south end outlet of the Pacific High
way be completed. So far matters
are about where they were a yeai
ago. I do not believe we should be
discouraged, but keep everlastingly
on the job until our County Court
and the State Highway Commission
get together and complete these pro
jects which are of such vital interest
to Clackamas county. I think also
that we should insist upon a bridge
along the type planned by the State
Highway engineers, and not be sat
isfied with, 'somje less permanent
type of structure, which would cost
much for maintainance, and in a few
years be obsolete.
The committee on a new depot for
Oregon City has been working to
ward the end that the present in
adequate acommodations be ' replac
ed by a modern structure that will
be a credit to the city. They have
taken the matter up with the Public
Service Commission and a hearing
will be held next month, at which,
time we expect to get a favorable de
cision. The business interests and
citizens generally should get behind
the committee that it . may accom
plish its task.
A committee is now actively in
vestigating the proposition of an
nexing South Oregon City to Oregon
City. The people desiring admission
to Oregon City from South Oregon
City are a good live bunch and , if
taken into Oregon City would be a
credit and an asset. I would cheer- .
fully recommend the club's support
to the movement.
Acting upon the suggestion of our
former . president the club took the"
lead in getting together the citizens
of the many communities of Clacka
mas county, which resulted in the
formation of the Clackamas County
Development League. It is my opin
ion that this league should bo ad-'
vanced until it becomes the import
ant factor in the future growth and
upbuilding of Clackamas county. i
should have the continued support
and close co-operation of . the club.
It is the general opinion that the
big road bond Issue of Clackamas
county will be - validated by the
Supreme Court of the Staite of Ore
gon, and it is apparent that we will
see great strides in road construc
tion during the coming year. The
road bond program is one of the
efforts of the club' and it will mean
a , big hard surface road's programe
for rthe county. -This item should be
followed up and watched closely
with the end in view of a successful
conclusion.
Clackamas county is again faced
with another county division fight.
You can rest assured that the com
mittees from the club are actively en
gaged in a movement to defeat the
scheme to divide our grand old coun
ty of Clackamas.
The financial situation might be
summed up as follows; The club is
out of debt and on a cash paying
basis. We have a good live and
healthy membership.
I would like to recommend to the
club the following:
That it revive the Publicity De
partment and raise sufficient funds
to adequately advertise Clackamas
county.
That a campaign for new members
be taken up to the end that we in
crease our membership to 250 active
members.
The "Live Wires" have been meet
ing regularly this year as in the
many years past, taking up and solv
ing numerous matters of interest and
importance to our city and county.
Every club member who Is interest
ed in the welfare of his city and coun
ty should attend these weekly lunch
eons and do his part, rather than
stay away and knock the activities
of the organization.
In closing I desire to thank the
various committees, officers and
members for their loyalty and close -co-operation
during the year just
closing. ,
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS A. MORRIS.
