Items of Local Interest for Busy
Journal Readers. .
The Vhlte Corner store, Second, Third
and Ysmhill streets, has an impression
' today that The Journal has a million
readers., That concern advertised In
. this papor that SantaXHaus would arrive
there 'vesterdiiv to distribute his annual
rifts to his boy and girl friends, and
the Jam that filled the big store all after-
'rioon was simply awful." The little tots
were the happiest band Of urchins seen
in Portland for many a day, and each
.was. given a present of considerable
'value Just such things as'th. tender
ones adore. Hundreds of happy hearts
rejoiced at the generosity of their old
, f rtend. "and .it would create scorn among
them to intimate that Panta Is a myth.
, A steam heated collar and cuff polisher
'' Is the delight of the arlsiocratlo gentle,
man who relishes .linen that fairly
shines. .Goods polished by this pro
cess "do" shine: And a steam heated
polisher does not "yellow" or bum the
linen as does the fire heated kind. To
"hum flnen Is to weaken Hi fiber.; Some
time "all" laundries will employ these
polishers Just bo soon as the interests of
patrons and not that of the pocketbook
la considered.. "They come high, but the
union Laundry must have jem."

Estacada. the beautiful townslte
owned and platted by the Oregon Water
Power Townslte company, located on
the Clackamss river 87 miles southeast
of Portland, at the terminus of the Ore
gon Water Power and Railway, com
pany's railroad, will, be placed upon the
marKet on Tuesday. January 18. On
that day the Oregon Water Power and
Railway company will run a special train
to Estacada. It will arrive early in the
forenoon,, giving passengers several
hours in which to look over the townsits
and adjacent region before 1:30 o'clock p.
m when the auction sale of lots'. will
take place, These will be disposed of at
-tns prices and on the terms announced
in the company's, advertisement on an
other page, . - t , .
., Estacada is most delightfully situated
on the ' banks of the Clackamas river.
in the heart of a large timber and agrl
cultural region, 'Snd will doubtless
speedily grow to a city in fact as well as
In, name. There is a peculiar combina
tion of desirable resources surrounding
the new townslte. The agricultural lands
in that part of . Clackamas county have
been cultivated for maiy years, and not
only splendid wheat harvests are gar
nered hut the fruit yield is second to
none in the state. Southeast of the
proposed city stand great forests of fine
merchantable timber.- This is yet almost
untouched, because before the railroad
reached that section about two mdnths
ago no means of transportation was at
hand. Sawlogs could not be floated down
the river on account of its rockv bed and
rapids," This' has kept the timber re
sources almost Intact, and that condition
will, of course, cause the building of
several-large -sawmills- at - that - point
The river runs between high banks and
its rail is Sufficient to afford a powerful
Water power every mile or so, so that

ant The Oregon Water Power and Rail
way company is building an . electric
power plant at a cost of, probably, 8250.
000, which -will be used to operate the
company's electric trains. The company
will have an abundance of power for
sale, so that those who do not desire to
build dams of their own to operate their
ractorles may lease power from the com
pany. A -big furniture factory is already
building, and two store buildings have
been contracted for.
- Great Interest Is being manifested in
this new town. Some time ago The
Journal published a quite lengthy de
scription of the townslte and its sur
roundings, since which time the Oregon
Water Power . . Townslte company has
beeq receiving a flood of letters concern.
ing the place. Being so far from Port
land its merchants will not be troubled
with department store competition, hence
trade will always be the healthiest that
the country will sustain.
It will. not be at all surprising, if Ee.
tacada will be found to contain a popula
tion or 6,000 within a couple of years.
and very likely 10,000 within that many
years. The Immigration to Oregon at
this time is very great The new town
is likely to get its share of these new
