f all citizens of Estacada, and all will
get a square deal. Ho hates graft in
all its forms. As a banker, he is turn
est and conservative, and, notwith
standing his enemies of the Reed party
have done everything In their power
to embarrass his business and to
luing him into disrepute. His bus!
lies ls gaining and he is Increasing In
nopulnrty every day. In his fight
against the water-bond graft, he at
first, two years ago, stood alone; but
today ho has the support of the law-
abiding element of the town. Howe
and Jones were elected as Reed men,
but Howe hns deserted his erstwhile
comrades and voted for their nrch en
umy for mayor. The only remaining
Reed man was so lonesome he
resigned. Since the new administra
tion has come into power it has
planked the streets of tho town and
has not put the town any further into
debt. They have refused to pay the
interest on the $10,000 water bonds,
on the ground that the town could not
be legally bonded' for so large a sum,
as Its assessed valuation is only Jl'J,
