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

proper representation and treating us as children, to be seen ar.d
not hea^d, as well as the distribution of the revenues of cur taxes
which have been unsatisfactory.
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. You will be advised of the time. Watch for the Pro
gress.
