HISTORY OF ARBOLEDA—
A T W O . YEAR *OLD a re elected tw ice each year. The
By BESSIE G. HALLIDAY.
Arboleda, a d istric t located on the
Powell V alley road, h alf w ay betw een
Gresham and Portland, w ill be two
y ears old next m onth. D uring th e la t­
te r p a rt of th e y ear 1923 th e resid en ts
of the vicinity met and decided to o r­
ganize a com m unity club. A fter some
consideration th e nam e A rboleda w as
selected for the d istric t and th e club
was organized under the nam e of the
A rboleda Im provem ent club.
The
nam e A rboleda is of S panish origin,
m eaning a place of m any tre e s or a
woodland. T his nam e was thought
p articu la rly suited to th e d istric t
which takes in all of the tra c t fo rm er­
ly known as the Coldwell Acres.
At the tim e the A rboleda d istric t
was nam ed and th e club organized,
th e re w ere ju st 12 houses in th e whole
d istrict. Since then six m odern houses
and a store building have been com ­
pleted and th ree houses a re now un­
der way.
R easons for Club.
T he A rboleda Im provem ent club was
organized for several reaso n s: ttrst,
to im prove the d istric t, clean it up,
beautify it and keep it so; second, for
a social good tim e, and th ird , to help
each oth er when help Is needed and to
keep alive th a t good-fellow ship fee l­
ing that one doesn’t feel or find in a
large city. So far, the club bas proved
a big success, brought about by the
enthusiasm und th e w illingness to
help on the p a rt of all the m em bers.
Officers co n sist of a president, vice
m em bership of th e club w as a t first
lim ited to th e A rboleda d istric t, but
a fte r some m onths p ersons outside the
d istric t w ere ta k en in. About th is
tim e th e club m em bership grew so
larg e th a t it w as im possible to con
tln u e m eeting a t the hom es of th e
m em bers, as w as th e custom , an d It
. was n ecessary to m ake o th er a rra n g e
; m ents. Floyd H alladay offered his
g arag e building to th e clu b for use u n ­
til arra n g e m e n ts for a clubhouse
could be made. T his offer was gladly
accepted and th e club fitted th e b u ild ­
ing up inside to su it its needs and also
added tw o sm all additions to th e
building. T he club m em bership at
th is tim e num bers ab o u t 35 and Is still
grow ing. C onsideration is now being
given to building a clubhouse some
tim e n ex t year.
T h at friendly com m unity sp irit and
neighborly feeling has never died out
in A rboleda, we are as one big happy
family. T h at is th e secret of our su c ­
cess as a com m unity and as a club.
A rgum ents? We have lo ts of them ,
but they are b ro u g h t up in business
m eetings before th e club and talked
over and th resh ed out.
