THE GORDON FALLS ELECTRIC AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY
THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. JULY 19, 190S.
6GNO
To the Respectable Breadwinners of the City of Portland and State of Oregon:
.This company earnestly desires a heart-to-heart chat -with you, for the reason
that we hope to form a business partnership with that element of our people, men
and women, we consider 'the real propelling force and builder? of all great enter
prises such as we have begun to set in motion at Gordon Falls, that unspeakably de
lightful and indescribably beautiful spot on the Columbia River and O. R. & N. and
Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroads, situate in the eastern part of Multnomah
County, 29 miles from the City of Portland, metropolis of the state.
LET US PAINT A PICTURE FOR YOU THAT WILL BE TRUE TO NATURE
We own 840 acres of land, fronting three miles on the Columbia River and
stretching southward over a slightly undulating timbered district to the base of the
tall Columbia River Mountains, up their rocky sides to their summit, more than
1000 feet above the river, and still further on, a short distance, to the source of
the icy and sparkling stream officially known as Gordon Falls. Its first appearance
is in a large bowl or basin-shaped depression in the earth, very much resembling an
artificial reservoir, from the sides of which spurt hundreds of springs of water as
chemically pure as any upon the globe. Forming a stream of considerable dimen
sions, the flow from the springs, scarcely varying an atom at any season of the
year, unite their forces and escape from the basin through a narrow gorge close to
the verge of the precipice, from whence they leap from rocky shelf to rocky shelf
in seemingly white, maddened fury, to the lowlands, 800 to 1000 feet or more below.
As has already been published in these columns, these falls contain the power of
1200 horses, and there are other water-courses on this same property, also bounding
down the sides of the mountains, which will increase this energy, or strength, to
well nigh as much again.
WE ARE GOING TO HARNESS THESE WATERFALLS AND COMPEL THEM
TO OPERATE A LARGE ELECTRICAL POWER PLANT
In turn this plant will operate a great number of factories of different kinds, the
first, and, we believe, one of the most important, being a large woolen mill, in which
will be washed, spun and woven into the finest woolen fabrics great quantities of
Oregon wool, than which there is no better quality on either side of the Pacific or
Atlantic Oceans. As a nucleus of this plant the Gordon Falls Electric & Manufac
turing Company has purchased the famous Pendleton Woolen Mill, with all its
appurtenances, good will, trademarks, engraved plates, advertising, etc.t and will
add to its equipment all such modern machinery and appliances as. may be necessary
to make it second to none on this continent as a producer of the best that's made
from the fleece of sheep in this or any other country.
WE WANT YOU TO BE PART OWNER OF THIS BIG PLANT
We have arranged for the location of a large wool-scouring plant, separate and
apart from the woolen mill, to cleanse the wool of our Oregon flocks of all its dirt
and impurities prior to its shipment to the Eastern markets. This cleansing re-
moves from the fleece more than half its weight, and that adds to its value, because
it saves more than half the freight and the cost of its scouring after it has arrived
at its destination. This enterprise will be a source of large profit to the Gordon
Falls Electric & Manufacturing Company.
WE WANT YOU TO BE INTERESTED IN THIS SCOURING PLANT
We have at least 12,000 cords of cottonwood growing contiguous to the Colum
bia River, and this must be made into excelsior. We shall soon have this plant in'
operation at Gordon Falls, and any one who knows of the active demand for this
product of the woods will not have to be told that there is splendid profit in grind
ing, or shaving, the timber into such merchandise. Our mill will be as complete as
machinery can make it.
WE WANT YOU TO HAVE AN INTEREST IN THIS EXCELSIOR MILL
We shall install, as soon as possible, an electric plant, as already spoken of. All
the mills and all the factories established at Gordon Falls will require the power
it engenders. We are not going to tax consumers so great a price for this power that
a grinding burden will be placed upon them, still, it is intended to make it a re
munerative proposition that will add much to the revenues of the eompany. The
water that operates the plant will be an uncomplaining, industrious, faithful, pa
tient, non-striking servant, making no charge of any kind for its labor, and will tail
continuously day and night. It' stands to reason, therefore, that because of this we .
can afford to be most liberal with manufactories and yet make money for the
company. , - " . . '
WE WANT YOU TO BE PART OWNER OF THIS ELECTRIC PLANT
Our possessions - at Gordon Falls will soon be recognized as, among the scenic
wonders of the earth. We shall erect a hotel, from the. windows and porches of
which may be viewed a region so weird and fantastic "frantically romantic, " one
has said as to defy written or oral description. You have heard and read of, if you
have not seen, the grandeur of Switzerland's mountains and vales,. lakes and gorges,
varicolored landscape, presenting all the glories of the rainbow, all the rugged
splendor ever depicted by the most facile pen. Men and women have crossed the
ocean have spanned continents -to delight their senses upon the gorgeous picture.
There is a spot named "Angel's Rest," far up toward the clouds, on the brow of
OtlR monster mountain From this eminence may be viewed a panorama such as
charming Switzerland has never afforded the eye or presented for the enhancement
of human hearts or the charm of human vision. . What a wonderful sight'.. The
mighty, river carrying upon its breast the commerce of an inland empire, sparkles
-in the sunlight as it dances onward toward the sea, and from its bosom at the dawn
of day there ascends great sheets of white that? soon begin surging first 'this and
then that way, as the waves of a troubled ocean, and, scanping the landscape at the
other side, language is beggared when it attempts to describe the feast that is spread
before the eye. Portland, Vancouver, rocky cliffs, bounding brooklets, are in view.
The time will come, and at no distant day, when continents will be crossed for the
pleasure of contemplating this scenic wonder. A hotel and homes will be erected
adjacent to this delightful pinnacle. The occupants will be the envied of all
our people. '
. WE WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF THESE
The mills and factories at Gordon Falls will require brains and hands to operate
them to keep the wheels and spindles in motion. Ample compensation will be
afforded these toilers at the looms, these deft fingers that spin the threads that go
to fashion the beautiful robes for which our mills have heretofore been noted through
out the world, and we shall be careful that those given such employment are .men
and women of excellent character, who would enjoy life midst the most fascinating
surroundings the globe can possibly afford. Boating, fishing, mountain-climbing,
. pleasant labor for the day, pleasant and decent associates for the spare hours after
the toil and fatigue is over1 neighbora you will be glad to have as social associates
and a clean, healthy atmosphere employers considerate of employes concerned
-for their prosperity and comfort, too.. :
WE WANT 1000 DECENT MEN AND WOMEN IN THIS DEAL WITH US
We are selling bonds for the purpose of installing an electric plant at Gordon
Falls, improving the townsite, erecting buildings for factories, homes for our em
ployes, and laying out and beautifying a system-of handsome parks. These bonds
are issued in denominations of $100 each, and we will sell them on terms of $10
down and $10 per month, and they will draw interest at 6 per cent per annum,
payable semi-annually, in United States gold coin, in which money the bonds will
themselves' be redeemable in ten years from date of issue. So soon as paid for
complete, and issued, interest will begin, and as special recognition of the" value of
, these early purchases of bonds, the company will, absolutely without cost, give to
each buyer of a $100 bond, $50 worth of the company 's stock, likewise issued when
the bond is paid for, and these wilt, we believe, without an atom of a doubt, pay
returns double that of the bonds, and those buying such bonds will be given prefer
ence in our mills and factories just as fast as we can get them in operation. We see
no reason, therefore, why we cannot have a business partnership with every man
and woman in our factories and mills, and one that will pay such men and women
not only the- best of wages, but liberal profits on their investments. We intend to
. supply, families "in our employ with fuel, light and water at about eost, and to
neglect no thing whatever calculated to cement friendships between us. We realize
that a pleased and contented hired man or hired woman is of much greater, value
to employers than those ground down by miserly masters, and it will be our ambi
- tion to be more, than employers of help to be the friends of our help to be part
" of their lives part of their interests: conservators, of their welfare knowing that '
there will be profit for ourselves if there will be profit for those whose skilful and
'diligent hands cause these profits to accrue. There will be no "graft" at Gordon
Falls. Everybody will get a "square deal," and no one will be cheated if we
know it and we '11 likely be there if the thing should be attempted.
; WE WANT YOU WITH US IN THIS "SQUARE DEAL" PROPOSITION
- But nothing in the foregoing will, we -hope, preclude .those from buying bonds
who may desire them as an investment. A banker would say that "they will be a
. 20-to-l shot," and that is what they will be, at least, if not a whole lot" better. The
bonds will be secured by first mortgage .on all the company's 840 .acres of land,
which includes the falls, themselves worth half a iuillion dollars to any company,
corporation or individual. All moneys derived from the sale of bonds will be strictly
devoted to the installation Of the electrie plant and improvement of the townsite,
as stated, thus strengthening the security behind the bonds every dollar paid in
being added to the land, making the security that much better. - -
WE WANT RESPONSES TO THIS PROPOSITION WITHOUT DELAY
If you have not the money at hand today, write and tell us when you will have "
it. It may be that you cannot spare the $1Q until next payday perhaps the first :
or middle of next month but file your application for a bond at once. Do not
think that "some other time" will do. -Our mills and factories -will run iorever..
The stock that goes with your bonds likewise will live forever, and when you' have ':
received the cash for the bond you bought, there is still your stock working right-1
along helping you along bringing you your share of the company's profits. There
will be no saloons at Gordon Falls. There will be no "red light" district there. ''
- It will be a decent town or city. It has the finest climate and water in the world,
and will be the healthiest city in the world. It will have its own excellent schools
and churches everything that should make life attractive and if you are a respect- .i
- able man or respectable woman,.
"WE WANT YOU TO COME INTO OUR CIRCLE AND ENJOY WITH US THE
HAPPINESS IN STORE FOR ALL DWELLERS AT
BEAUTIFUL GORDON FALLS '
Never was an embryo city so praised before. The news of its founding has
already been carried to the uttermost parts of the land, and the Portland and state
newspapers have printed the story and. scattered it in all directions. The curtains
have been brushed aside, and the world may now look in through the gates of the
newly-born Utopia and behold in advance its busy throngs, each heart happy, each "
countenance suffused with smiles. ; .
DON'T YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY, TOO? '-' -

GRAXD LODGE! FOR OREGON
WILIi COXVENE TUESDAY.
Reports of Officers Show Working
of Level Rate System Adopted
in 1906.
Tho grand lodge Ancient Order of United
Workmen of Oregon will convene In bien
nial session in Portland, in Woodmen
Hall, on Eleventh street, next Tuesday
morning.
The A. O. U. w. is one or the roremost
fraternal insurance companies in the Unit
ed States.
The officers are as follows: Fast grand
master workman, F. Berchtold, of Cor
vallis; grand master workman. William J.
Clarke, of Gervais: grand foreman. Philip
Gevurtz, of Portland: grand overseer,
George T. Baldwin, of Klamath Falls;
grana recorder, .Newton mark, or Port
land: grand receiver, R. 3U Durham, of
Portland; grand guide, Samuel Roake. of
Oregon City; grand inside watch, Lester
White, of Detroit; grand outside watch.
Charles E. Baird. of Baker City; grand
medical examiner, Dr. D. Walker, of Port
land.
Two years ago the grand body concluded
to meet biennially. At that session the
order, under very adverse circumstances,
adopted the level rate plan. or. to be more
accurate, adequate rates. These rates
were arbitrarily larger than any hereto
fore adopted by any other fraternal
organization in the state. Grand
Master Clarke says the biennial term has
brought no increase in the membership.
but that 1600 members have taken the
level rate plan and under its features a
reserve of over JlOO.OOO has been accumu
lated, that can after three years, under
that plan, be used for either of these
propositions: To borrow 90 per oent of
accumulations; give extended Insurance
or the m&riber can take -a paid-up in'
surance In accordance With the amount
paid in.
Under the level rate plan no member is
liable to suspension so long as he has any
reserve to his credit. The level rate plan
will eventually accumulate sufficient to
pay all claims upon the beneficiary fund
even to the last member.
The reports of the officers show
healthy financial condition, and reveal the
payment in addition to the running ex
penses of the order, of a J3000 debt. The
accumulation of nearly as much more to
be used in paying the expenses of the
coming session.
Important legislation bearing upon the
management of the reserve feature of the
order, which is accumulating rapidly and
promises to reach Immense proportions, is
anticipated.
Newton Clark, who has for many years
been the grand recorder of the state has
tendered his resignation and his successor
will be elected, as will, also, the . entire
list of officers. ,
During the past two years $52,763.94 has
been disbursed to beneficiaries of the juris
diction and there were 147 deaths which
were no greater than in any other like
period of the order.
The membership in the state is over1
4000. There are 111 lodges. Already many
delegates are arriving, and it is expected
the sessions will continue for three days.
