Some changes of improvement in
the surroundings of the Hotel Esta­
cada are to be made by the O. W .
P. Co. A canopy structure is to be
built over the walks so that guests
mnv arrive from the cars and leave
without being exposed to the winter
raic.s or summer sunshine.
Several other changes and im­
provements are to be made about
the hotel.
Mrs. Dr. Charlton of Portland,
and her frietW, Mrs. Dr. Holmes of
Chicago, came out from the city,
Friday morning and were taken out
to Dr. Charlton’s country home five
miles east of Estacada where they
will enjoy a two weeks' rest. They
are old acqvaintences and friends of
Linn Bros.

Mr. Tracy is one our most
prominent citizens, and has a beau­

Estacada.
The winter term of the Estacada
school Iregan three weeks ago and is
progressing nicely .under the man­
agement of Miss June Oakley who
is recently out from Wisconsin. A t
present there are 38 pupils enrolled
and the classes range from the be-
giners to the Hth grade. School will
continue for a term of six months.
A number of pupils in the district
have not yet enrolled.
It is quite
probable that the present school ac­
comodations will lie too small a year
from now, and that an addition to
the present school will have to be
made.
