HDMESEEKERS AND INVESTORS ALIKE
Educational and Religious Resources Her Most Valuable
Assets Offered as Inducement to Persons Interested
. in Either; Homes cr Investments A Hgh-Powered
i American Community 7 " 1
BY EDWARD T. 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. They
