E Belfüs, Cashier Geo. A. Steel, President. F E B R U A R Y 3, 1910 DIRECTORS: ! Geo. A. Steel, Thos. Yocum, John Zobrist, L. E. Beliils At a special meeting of the Commercial Club held Monday evening to hear the report of the committee sent to Oregon City to ascertain figures and facts so that they would know what atti tude to take in the agitated county division question, listened to the information and immediately got busy with pencil and paper and arrived at the following conclusions: 1st. Portland, as a county seat, is more to be desired than Oregon City, as it is more convenient to get to and mail com munication is much better, for it now' takes two days to get mail matter to Oregon City with the arrangements in vogue. While this is true, we firmly believe that it will only be a short time un til Portland, and what are now it’s surrounding su burbs, will be Multnomah county, standing aloof from a country district. If we united with them now the same expense or more would soon be incurred again in the re-transcribing .of records etc. Also to make the Clackamas river a dividing line between Clackamas and Multnomah counties is impracticable, working a detriment to our school district and property interest by placing them in two different counties, and for the further reason that the city of Portland, the large voting factor in such a division, does not want tit. They do want and should have adjacent'and sub urban territory but will fight shy of a long stretch of mountains and unimproved country districts. 2nd. That Oregon City, our present county seat, is incon venient to get to and has discriminated against the rural settle ments, particularly Eastern Zlackamas, by not giving us the Get The Banking habit—It Pays — . — . . . . .

These facts appearing to us and the agitation now going on, which is a result of the foregoing facts, m our opinion justi fies us in making preparations to form a new connty in the East ern portion of Clackamas county, and to this end we advise the calling of a public mass meeting in our city at ail early date to consider the questions of most vital interest to our rapidly de veloping community. Clackamas is a large county, containing 1861 square miles, a division north and south can be made that will result in great benefits to both sections and give the Western portion much the greater population and assessed valuation and leave us for the new county in the Eastern part a population that is now more than six thousand and a valuation of over six million dollars of taxable properly. There are twelve old counties in the state of Oregon that have now a less population than we would have to commence with. We have ail the conditions required for a new county. Do we want it? '1 he question is, do you want representation in the manage ment of your county affairs? Do you want a more convenient county scat. If so attend the mass meeting an 1 work for a new county.
