rJG TIIEIRS "THE CITY BEAUTIFUL"
Citizens Join Hands With Nature irf Beautifying" This Little
City of the Green-Clad Hills and Verdant Valley- and
! Routing Old Man Tumbledown From His Den He Says
"It Never Has Been Done
(By EDWARD TV BARBER)
Snuggled up in the foothills on
the eastern slope of the Coast
mountains Falls City, Oregon, oc
cupies a position of commanding
beauty. It is the industrial cen
ter of a hundred square miles of
forest and farm lands 8f unrivaled
richness and unlimited, resources.
The little Lucklamute river
flows through the heart of the
city. ,It sings of power and beauty
a it rushes over its mountain toed
to the sea. - -
In ; fact its song of power .is
what attracted the first settlement
to its banks and started the first
industrial plant in this part of the
state, in the shape of a flour mill.
Today its power is converted into
electrical energy which turns the
wheels of 'industry, lights "and
helps to heat. the. city. .
No landscape artist could hope
to rival the natural beauty of the
site of this bustling Oregon city.
Built, as it is, on both sides of
Y r the river with is residences and
vjf Pbllc buildings occupying the
"lTSorarious points of " vantage for
scenic effects on the hills facing
either side of the valley. ""
The hills of this section are well
rounded, weather worn old timers
bearing heavy forest growths to
their very tops. The .weathering
of centuries has formed a soil
which mixed with the mould of
the age-old forests produces a seed
bed of extraordinary richness
awaiting the farmer. . .
The formation and arrangement
of these hills gives, an air drainage
which wards off the early and late
frosts of the .lower . levels and
makes them especially advanta
geous in fruit, berry and nut
growing. n ;..-
In "the midst of this fruitful
section,' and surrounded by the
artistic touches of nature in the
form of gTeen hills, waterfalls,
babbling rivers and pleasant valleys
Is to" be wondered that the citizens
of Falls City should be of an art
istic temperament-and enthusiast
ic in their determination to make
their city as beautiful as its Bet
ting. , . .
Falls City, like many other1!

complacent and self-satisfied with
its lot. That Is. a polite way of
saying they grew lazy and indif
ferent to their opportunities and
surroundings. They permitted
nature to run riot in their vacant
lots, in their unused buildings,
along their streets and alleys, in
their sidewalks and the municipal
buildings. In fact they let their
town, run down at the heel until
it looked like a 1912 Lit" car
deserted on the back lot..
But all this has changed,. Falls
City has wakened to the stroke !
of "Opportunity" and today Irt
greatest asset is the fine spirit
of cooperation and desire for-progressive

same admiration from those v who
behold it as does the view of their
beautiful hills and valleys.
. They have become aroused to
the. effort necessary to -make their
city a fit companion for its 'beauti
ful setting. i . ; ;
.Their first progressive step was
to organize a commercial club and
authorize this club to take such
steps as were necessary to produce
the results desired". 4 What is still
better, the citizens are- united in
assisting the club in every possible
manner to carry out its program.
Already the. work of cleaning lip

street has been cleaned from side-1
walk, fo' sidewalk, and a new cov

being cleaned, trees trimmed,

' !
-.
In fact no. new western city has
any "edge" on Falls City In its
effort to snake it the most attrac
tive and inviting place in this part
of the state. ; j i ?
The city has a park which Is
so attractive that the State Chris
tian Endeavor has taken a 99 year
lease, on it for a two-weeks period
each year. This may be a pointer
to other similar organizations to
look to Falls City park for a sum
mer session place j which has no
superior for scenic beauty, health
ful surroundings 1 and modern
accommodations, and at' the same
time give. the exclusion. and quiet
desired for such gatherings. A
letter addressed' to Mrs. T Abigral
Watt, "secretary of the Commercial
club. Falls City, Oregon, will 'bring

feature of theeity.N It is ptopoeed
to paint the town white. Tumb

being surprised by the attention
they are receiving from everybody
in town. The broken place in the
sidewalk finds Itself - the object
of slurring remarks and gets at-x
tention of the carpenters; the

themselves being humbled by the
street commissioner; the windows
along the principal streets, find
themselves stared out of counts

and their owners apologize for the

; Now,' when you get a whole
town worked up like that, some
thing is certain to happen. It
has already begun to happen at
Falls City and1 the things yet to
come will be a-plenty.
In fact; it is proposed by the
citizens to make Falls City as at
tractive as a ner gold mine so
that instead of having to Invite
outsiders to come to Falls City
they will come, of Jheir own accord
in such numbers that the other
towns of Oregon will be asking
the courts to serve an Injunction
against any more people coming to
Falls City. ' r -

""The committee in charge : . of

arranging to have the landscape

Efforts 'are being put forth to
get the road across the mountains

giving a scenic route unequalled

The falls City Commercial club
Is looking for some real -estate
firm capable of handling large
propositions to take hold of cer-

development. The falls of the
Little Lucklamute, within, the city

location for tourist hotels or sum

The Falls City Parent-Teacher
association .was organized about
nine years , ago with Mrs. C. L.
Hopkins as president. For three
years they held regular meetings
of much Interest. During this
time they sponsored a high school
orchestra which1 was very success
ful under the leadership of Prof.
Haley. .
When the epidemic ot influenza
reached Falls City 'the meetings
were discontinued and the society
was not reorganized until 1923.
Since that time it has been a live
society. Meetings are held in the
high school , auditorium the last
Monday evening of every , school
month at which time an interest
ing program is presented and re
f reshement are served.' Speakers
have frequently been brought to
Falls City to deliver addresses be
fore the Association. 3 -' .
In December Dr. '"Boling" of
Monmouth normal school gave hn
interesting address. He told us
that the fame of our organization
had reached him before he came
and he also commented on the
number of men. present. This was
explained by the fact that the men
won the' membership contest con
ducted In the fall. J.
Perhaps the greatest good the
P. T. A., has accomplished is the
serving of hot lunches to the chil
