BARBER This is the last of a series of 12 articles exploiting the indus tries and resources of Falls City and vicinity. " The I material .has been gathered by painstaking per sonal effort in which every factor has been personally Investigated and judged from a disinterested standpoint, i i ' ' It'isl due the citizens of Falls City to say in closing that they are arousing to 'their magnificent heritage of ideal conditions for happiness, health anl prosperity ip a manner greatly to their credit. ' y It is an American community which fully appreciates that term in its most intense form. ; Their city is clean and thriving.' They are not neglectful of the higher elements entering Into the fiber of an American community. They take great pride in their churches and schopls. They; are seeking 'new population which will be ac tuated by the same high ideals. The person who does not value the educational and religious re sources of the community as high ly as -he does the j material r re sources is not welcomed. But to those who do appreciate such re sources rails City presents as high standards in those lines as in the the field of her natural re sources of timber, land, and agri cultural possibilities. : I Do not mistake that in coming to Falls City you are coming to a wild west locality devoid of the factors "civic, fraternal, education al and religious necessary to the best community .in the east. : Falls. City has been no laggard in providing herself with these resources. " ' ; . i - Practically every fraternal and civic organization known is active here. " There J are not enough nights in the week for all of them to. Save an exclusive night of their own. y ' ; - -' The spirit' of law and order is especially strong and active here. The beautiful city is so appealing that the Oregon State Epworth league has taken a 99 year lease on it for two week3 each year, to use for annual convention, j - It is a neighborly city where community interests result in con certed faction. Where, every one shows a human interest in every othr neighbor. The ; "jazz" spirit which has so actively marked the modern trfend of many localities has found' no special response, in Falls City. It is staid and unexcited.by the hys terical activities of modernism. It Is to such a community that the home seeker is Invited. The organizations seeking investment in industrial development along the lines presented by this com munity are invited to correspond with, the Falls City Commercial club. - s Diversified agriculture covering the growing of berries, fruit, nuts, poultry,' - dairying; - seed growing, goat. raising, are especially favor ed here by, conditions worthy of intense Investigation. Lumbering in many forms Is also 1 inviting. Wood working plants would Ifind this an ideal place: for many forms of product. especially those ' using native woods, fir, spruce, pine, alder, maple; etc.-- Here employees would find living conditions ideal.
