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

At a recent meeting of the Mount

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.

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.
