TALKS NO. 28
(By RALPH KAYE)
Real estate is a commodity. Like
other commodities, it has a known
va'ue and use. Therefore, it should
appeal to nearly all classes. Agif n,
like some commodities-; pertain real
estate appeals to certain classes of
people. Price, location, buildings re
strictions, etc., cause this.
It is just this distinction that you
.should base your real estate advertis
ing on. This necessitates a thorough
study of the land to be sold, i. e., take
for instance its location is it too far
out. for comfortab.'e daily city trips?
What appeal does the out look make?
What class is toe trend of building
progress? You should follow this line
of thought in its advantages, price
and terms, building restrictions and
right down the line picking but the
possibilities and reconstructing them
along known human lines.

Something far removed from, the

ranks alongside his other successes
such as Little Johnny Jones. Forty

who left Macksburg to go to Alaska
some months ago.
A company of friendly neighbors got

A LOST ROWBOAT
Tom Brown, Oregon City's veteran
fish market man is minus a boat as
ihe result of the folly of some would
oe mighty Portland fisherman. Mr.
Brown Thursday was approached by
two men representing themselves to
be members of the Portland Rod &
Gun club. They stated that they
wished to get a boat to go fishing
with, saying . that they had fished
many times in swift water and were
thoroughly familiar with the Willam
ette. As soons as they got into the
boat Mr. Brown saw that they knew
nothing about rowing, but neverthe
less he let them go.
From his boat house they proceeded
to the falls, and tried to fish. Know
ing nothing about the river, they were
caught by the currents and the boat
overturned. Other fishermen in the
neighborhood picked them out of the
water, and at their request, set them
ashore on. the best bank of the Wil
lamette. The ' boat, however, got
away.
From the shore the men sneaked
along the bank and made their way
to the county road. From this place
it is thought they either reached Port
land by walking to Oswego, or by be
ing picked up by a friendly person
with an automobile. Mr. Brown now
wants his boat.
POSTOFFICE BUSINESS
MAKES UNUSUAL RECORD
PostaJ business for the year closing
March 31, has been figured up by
Postmaster Tom Randal, and shows
the surprising total of $19,000. This
figure is believed to put Oregon City
far ahead of a'l other communities in
the state of equal size for the amount
of business entrusted to Uncle Sam.
The figure does not include postal
savings bank business, which has
been exceptionally heavy here, and
which is largely supported by the em
ployees in the paper and woolen
mills.

Those friends of yours are to
be married next week and you
forgot to send a present!
'It was not exactly a case of.
forgetting, perhaps it was
rather a matter of procrastina

to do to-day. For it is a prob

it's difficult to make a selection.
Have you read the advertise

If you have not read them now
and it's 10 to 1 you'll find an
