'WOMEN'S' SUFFRAGE George C. Grownell will deliver an address at Estacada at 2 o'clock Sun. day afternoon on "Woman's Suffrage." The promoters of the meeting expect a large crowd, and many residents of Springwater, Eagle Creek and Gar. field have announced that they will attend. 'Mr. Brownell was one of the first men in this county to advocate equal suffrage, and has advocated -it in 'public addresses in all parts of the county. Mr. Brownell says that there being more than 8,000,000 women in the United States who are self sup. porting, there can be no adequate reason presented against them "being given the right of suffrage. He as. serts that in states where women, have been given the right to vote, better men and women have been elected to office than in states where only the men have "the right of suf. frage. ML PLEASANT TO IE PRESIDENT TO GO TO HOT SPRINGS, VA. BEVERLY, Mass., Sept.20. Plans for President Taft's vacation here were changed today, and; it became known that the President would prob ably remain in Beverly only until October 20. He had intended stay, ing at Parramatta until a few days before election, and then closing up his summer home, travel to Cincin nati to' vote. According to the new plan ,the President will leave Beverly with Mrs. Taf t for Hot Springs, Va., late in October. At a recent meeting of the Mount Pleasant Civic Improvement . Club held at the Mount Pleasant school, house, it was arranged to have an in. terview with the City Council in re gard to the building of a sidewalk from this city from the head of Ffth Street to Mount Pleasant, which is in a poor state of repair. Many of the residents of that place come to Ore. gon City daily and have to travel ov er this walk. There is much danger during the winter, and the members of the Improvement Club are anxious to have the broken planks replaced with new ones before winter begins. The committee appointed to . inter, view the Council is composed of S. O. Dillman, A. C. Warner and J. M. War. nock. This walk was constructed seveu years ago by the Mount Pleas, ant- Civic Improvement Club, and this organization does not feel it is its duty to build sidewalks in Oregon City when its own walks have to be looked after. The - sidewalk committee on the walk that has been constructed along the Holmes road made its report, A. C. Warner being the chairman of the committee. This walk has been com. pleted as far as the home of W. B. Stafford, and it will be up to the Mountain View people to complete the walk to that place. This is the first meeting that has been held since the summer months, and there is no doubt but there will be many inter esting meetings held during the win ter. One applicant was made a mem. ber at the last meeting.

WILKINSON & BAXTER FLORISTS We Make Floral Designs for all Occasions': Next door to the Star Theatre Phone Main 271 A STRAIGHT TALK TO OREGON CITY CLIFF DWELLERS eople That Live on the Hi It takes just 238 steps to scale the bluff from the Seventh Street ascent. Don't take our word for it Tomorrow morning when you come turkey-trotting down the gang-plank, just count them for yourself. And after having mounted the "238" why then you're only at the foot of the hill. Fine exercise and all that, but there's many an Oregon City cliff dweller, who realizes more each day that tripping up and down the "238" four or five times every 24 hours a most awkward pastime. A man who has climbed the bluff daily for the past thirty years told us recently that if his daily hiil climbing had all been placed in a straight line on the same grade as the Seventh Street stairs he'd have been in Heaven three years ago. ' Of course he wouldn't have been. He was just a little "peeved" because he had to go up and down the "238" every morning, noon and night We told him about a little Paradise called Gladstone which he could reach in five minutes, and where everything is on the level He and his good wife bought a couple of our beautiful residence lots, will begin their home about November 1, and in the future will save their remaining energies for climbing the golden stairs. Our office at Gladstone is located opposite the postof f ice. Our telephone number is Pacific States, 1982. -Our agent is at your service. (SILAIID REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION, H. E. CROSS, Pres.
