of debate, recrimination, charges of
"gag' rule" and the near allegation
that members of the convention were
acting as "boobs" the Roosevelt Pro

met here toddy, nominated practically
a full state ticket; named A. E. Clark,
of Portland, as candidate for United
States Senator over Jonathan Bourne
and F. V. Mulkey, and renamed all
of the candidates for Presidential
electors that were selected at the
Portland meeting several weeks ago,
including Dan Kellaher. The nomi

The Democratic Central Committee
at a meeting at Willamette Hall Tues
day, decided to do some "Bull Moos-
ing" that is go out and ask the peo
ple to vote for the Democratic candi
dates in the county. There was a
large attendance of members, candi
dates and sympathizers at the meet
ing, and W. C. P Br'eckenridge, Jos-;
eph Clay Styles Blackburn or Wil
Ham Jennings Bryan never relieved
themselves of any finer oratory than '
some of them exuded at the meeting. ;
It was unanimously resolved that ;
this was a "Democratic year", and, !
being so, there was no apparent rea
son why the Democrats of Clacka
mas County should not get all the
slices of pie they wanted.
County Judge Beatie, Chairman,
presided, and after a few preliminary
motions had been disposed of, favor
ably, it was decided, unanimously,
that the candidates of the party for
county offices should stump the coun-

That Clackamas County is destin
ed to be one of the best fruit growing
counties in the state was the consen
sus of opinion at a luncheon of the
Live Wires Tuesday. J. E. Hedges,
who introduced the subject, exhibited
two specimens of Wolf River apples
grown in the Garfield section. The
apples were of good color and firm
and were nearly perfect Mr. Hedges
said that the best price the growers
of the apples could get was forty
five or fifty cents a box, while Hood
River apples sold for $2.50 a box. He
declared that the difference in price
was largely due to the better packing
of the Hood River apples, and that
there was certainly not $2 difference in
quality.
Dr. L. A. Morris said there was
little encouragement for the growing
of fine apples in Clackamas County.
He denounced many fruit growers for
not caring for their trees" and said
growers who did were hampered by
those who did not. He said one man
might spray his trees and do every
thing possible to obtain the best re
sults and insects and other blight
from a neighbor's orchard that had
not been given attention would re- .
suit in his efforts being virtually
wasted. The speaker said that the,
inspection of orchards could be im
proved, and urged that different meth
ods be pursued.
Dr. Clyde Mount called attention to
the apple exhibit in the Clackamas
County display at the state fair, de
claring that many points were lost
because there was a lack of uniform
packing. Livy Stipp said that the
Hood River growers had profited by
experience and that the Clackamas
County growers would eventually
learn how to obtain the best results,
and prices. A committee, composed
of O. E. Freytag and O. D. Eby, was
appointed to make "an investigation
and report at the next meeting of the
Live Wires. It was unanimously
agreed that first class apples could be
grown in Clackamas County, if prop
er methods were adopted.

Said a Buyer of Gladstone Lots
li
"I like your lots, the location is most ideal, and your
water system leaves nothing to be desired in the way
of modern improvements. Though I am only a wage
earner, I can easily make the $5.00 monthly payment
which you ask. But there is only one stumbling block-"
"And what is that?" asked our agent in surprise.
Simply this: "Suppose I should get sick, or, to be
frank: Suppose I should die before my payments are
completed?"
"If you get sick," answered our Gladstone agent,
"We will let your payments slide for one, two, or even
three months. That is one of the conditions of our con
tract. And if you should die before your payments are
completed, we must, under the terms of our contract
with you- pay back every penny of interest and princi
pal if your representatives desire us to cancel the con
tract, or we will allow them to fulfill the conditions of
your agreement, if they prefer to do so.
"That's not bad at all," answered the man, with a
beaming smile. "Make out the papers."
We have about 150 of these ideal residence sites
which we are selling out at terms to suit the purchaser.
They are the finest locations in Gladstone.
