In many instances nature seems
to direct the person to do that for
which he is best adapted. This is
so with Merchant C. F. Howe.
Mr. Howe was the second merchant
to begin doing business in Estacada.
He came here from Southern Ore-
where he was engaged in mining,
though he had previously been a
successful merchant in the east.
His store is the home of select gro
ceries, and with these he carries all

The Fstncada Volunteer Fire De

thejtown was'started. At* present
there are 22 active members, with
M. H. Richards, president, and
William Straight, chief. The De
partment is equipped with 300 feet
of ho^e, two carts, hooks, ladders,
axes, buckets, lanters end every
thing necessary. Regular business
and drill meetings are held each
month. In case of fire the water
supply ¡is practically inexhaustible.
The ico.ooo gallon reservoir sets
192 feet above the city giving the
enormous pressure of 96 pounds.
This heavy pressure is not used for
the daily water supply of the city,

as the water can lie run through
reservoir No. 2, which gives a pres

is sufficient for domestic purposes.
A t present water is pumped from
the Clackamas river into the upper

station, but the proposition of
