Complaint and fault Is found with conditions existing now. It is believed that we do not have the benefits of a no-license town because the influence is the same as if a licensed saloon existed and the city receives no benefit financially. To license soft drink or near beer places is certainly not any improvement of the morals trom granting a regular license The city is in great need of this revenue to carry on needed iitiprov- ments. If the people of Estacada do not want any licenses granted it is evident they do not want near beer places, so if a no-lieense policy is voted the council will at once take steps to close these places and they will then expect the people to then sustain a tax policy. It the people desire a license, conditions will be required of those applying so that order aud decency and the protection of t h : public will be guaranteed by a heavy bond.

J. Davis, on the spot now occupied by Win. Davis' resi dence. They were procured down in Damascus from Deardorfs; not understanding the nature of the berries they were -et too th;, k and too much fertilizer wa< used, so the-re were only blooms and vines 10» CASH x s e k k b s and no berries. That was about the year 1873. The next was bought and brought in by Mr. Dock Balinateer in 1882, They were of the sharp- less variety lie gave five dollars for 50 plants and Ins wife sold tlie ber ries off those vines to Mrs. Dave Canfield, who lived where Ed. Wonacott now lives. That was tlia beginning of the strawberry culture out litre Then Mr. W. I’. Sunffiu saw what ber ries would do on our perfect soil and bought a home in Garfield and set out the first commercial straw- berry field in this part of Clack amas County. Mr Win. Holder, knowing Suufiiu to be a thorough berry man, followed suit Others seeing their success have gone into the berry business until it itt no more an experiment, as our Esta- cada-Garfield berries of all kinds are second to none.
