Preparations are well under way for the commencement exercises to be giv en by the Franklin High graduates the 25th of January next. The girls of the clase have fixed a maximum limit to their graduation expenditures: but it must be admitted that they fall a little behind the Jefferson girls who, on ac count of the war, are planning to receive their diplomas in their middy blouses. Coach Dewey left Franklin Monday. He goes with Franklin’s first team to play lut Grande Thanksgiving Day. Ho will not return to school until the end ot the war but will report to Camp Ixswis. The students gave him a farewell at assembly Monday. Saturday night a celebration of the bringing up of the football team to cham pionship form was held on the gridiron. There was a big bonfire, ami a musical program was led by the glee clubs aseist- ed by local talent on Ukeleles. Seniors sold refreshments. Considering the rainy evening a large crowd shared the fun. kind« of lumber, Estacada i« fast be- coming a -hipping center for the pro- ducts of the various mill« adjacent, with heavily loaded auto tracks hring- ! ing sawed ties and dimension lumber both day and night to the loading docks here. According to the report of a party of the P. R. I.. A P. Co.', officials, who Monday were in Estacada arranging for more shipping and loading facilities, this city will soon justly be nicknamed I "Tie-Town," for many hundreds of thousands of sawed ties will not only lie shipped from here this winter, but will lie stored here. With the officials was J. Canby Morgan of Portland, who owns a large tract of timber on Clear Creek in the vicinity of the old Bittner Mill. Mr. Morgan haa now completed arrange ment« with the Cox A Park Shingle Company near bis property, to install proper machinery for cutting ties and expects that mill to keep a steady stream of ties coming into Estacada for shipment. Three ties will be loaded from the spur track leading to the old wood factory, or may be handled on the cannery spur in Terrace Addition. Engineer Thomas Pumphrey of the railway company states that his com pany is planning to pile and store for future use over 100,000 ties on the right-of-way property between the Estacada Park and Hotel property, ex tending from the Springwater road to the depot. Such activity in the lumber business cannot help but bring prosperity to this city and adjacent country, for the tie cutting demands much labor and the stand ot liinlter in this section is one of the most extensive in the Northwest.— Eastern Clackamas News.

The actual coat waa one jitney. A sextet of young ladiee imitating a steam calliope were repeatedly called back, •nd one of their number wbo imitated the playing of a violin evoked pro longed applause. A stump speech a la Italy from a 14 year old boy was much appreciated. Tbe parodies on Mother Goose Rhyi ■ took the audi- ence back to tbe daya of long ago. Rollin Call and Lyle Peters made a dandy job of canning tbe Kaiser in the good old Y'ankee way and had to respond to an encore. Rollin figured three times on the program. Lunch wound up a most enjoyable evening, and was served on the first floor. Farewell To R. A.
