Experts Postpone Date of Talk to Saturday + + + + + + *+ *»•+ + *»•+ + + » Prof. C. I. Lewis and R. W. Rees, experts of horticulture from the O. A. C. will appear at the O. A. C. experimental orchard iu Orrfie'd, next Saturday, March 2, instead of today as announced. Saturday was originally named for Mollala, but because many of the orchardists of that place are Seven Day Adventists it became necessary to switch dates with Estacada. A number of Portland people will accompany the experts to Estacada, lunching here and reaching the or chard about 2 o’ clock, to see the demonstration of tree grafting and pruning. We EYE The eye is a wonderful piece of divine mechanism and deserves the best care within the reach of human knowledge. The delicate construction of this organ makes it neces sary to use great care in selecting eye glasses and spectacles. It is not generally understood by those depending on artificial assistance for good vision, that it requires as much scientific knowledge to adjust lenses to the eye as it does to prescribe medicines for the human system. Much of the present day eye trouble is due to wearing cheap, decentered lenses fitted (?) by incompetents, or bought across the counter or from peddlers. We cease to wonder at the magnitude of present day eye trouble, when we think of the thousands who are wear ing such glasses—lenses which change and distort the rays of light, producing innumerable eye ailments and defects. ♦ Estacada Again Beats Park Place 31 to 2 9 N o person should wear a glass unless prescribed by a re liable specialist— one thoroughly acquainted with anatomy, physiology and diseases the eye, laws of light and tometry. of op S e e D r E r v i n L.

W. D. and L. M. Henthom, Proprietors At Park Place, last Friday even ing, Estacada High School cham pion basketball team of Clackamas county, annexed another game de feating Park Place in a return game 31 to 29. But they had to go some to do it. Park Place on its’ home ground and in a small hall, had a bit the edge in the first half which closed in their favor 17 to 12. In the second half Estacada got down to brass tacks and steadily fought its’ way out of the mess landing 19 points while Park place was annex ing 12. The game was won in the last minute of play. On account of cramped quarters team work was thrown to the winds. Center Rivers of the Park Place team was especially strong, throw ing practically every basket. In the girls' game, Park Place was vic torious 17 to 7. About 40 Estacadans went in a special car to see the game, return ing with the team at midnight. The new red jerseys were worn by the team for the first time. The lineup: Estacada: Center. Evans; forwards, Morton and Gra ham; guards, VYoodle and Fellows. Patk Place: Center, Rivers; for wards. Hendricks and Lucas; guards, Knight and Rivers. of The Progress, who was one in vited to partake, can testify that I Gartieid has first class cooks. It seemed like being home once moie. After the business meeting single tax was discussed, a lively debate taking place with F. M. Gill and Elmer Davis the leading speakers against the tax and M. V. Thomas of Sandy and Edwin Bates of Esta cada favoring it. It is the hope of the Grange to have Governor West as a speaker at its next meeting. An invitation has been sent to the governor. The grange might almost be called the people’s forum, for the members interchange ideas and its' sjieakers are questioned closely on all phases of the subject under discussion. Help the Mail Carrier To Get Through the Mud Patrons of Uncle Sam’s postal department on the rural routes from Estacada, can help the over worked carrier and his horses, if they will buy stamps in quantities and refrain from placing small change in the mail boxes. More than an hour can be saved on the Garfield route alone, according to Postmaster Johnson, if this is done. “ This time of the year the roads are bad” said the postmaster, ’ ’and there’s a good deal of rain. When the carrier has to stop frequently to deal out say a two center or dime's worth of stamps, he is liable to have his stamp stock wet and he loses whatever is destroyed. Besides, the delays count heavily in the long run and he has all he can do to make the trip, Take Carrier De- moy, for instance, he leaves here at 7:45 a. m. and is due in Estacada at 3 p. ni., a total distance to be traveled of 25 miles. lie has 130 rural boxes and if ¡*u average of 30 seconds at each box is saved to him. by people buying stamps in quantities, instead of only a few, he will make the trip an hour quicker than he does. As it is, it is hard for him to get back in time to make the 4 o'clock mail car to town, thus causing a delay until next day. Also, every time he lias to haul out his stamps in the rain he is in dan ger of having them wet and he’ s a loser whatever is damaged.' ’ The department has asked that patrons refrain from putting small change in the boxes for stamps. It makes it necessary for the carrier to get out his stamps and stamp the letters. Lightning Slingers in Stories of Early Days BEAR HITS MAN Max Klaetsch Looking For Bruin is Victim of Collision THE HOUNDS RUN OVER Bruin Escape« During Eicitement- -Animal found Near Summit ol Cascade«. IS Miles Southeast of here. Knocked off a log by a bear he was hunting and then run over by the pursuing pack of hohnds, was the experience of Max Klaetsch of Estacada, last Monday. Klaetsch, accompanied by his brother Otto and a woodchopper who has a homestead, near the gov ernment camp 18 miles southeast of here, set out for the summit of the Cascades, taking with them a pack of hounds. They found bear sign shortly after arrival atid the dogs soon had bruin on the run. The men separ ated and Max walked into a wind fall and seated bimselt on a log to wait. The hounds circled about nipping the heels of the bear. Max watching in an opposite direction, suddenly heard a noise behind him. Turning he saw the bear. Before he could bring his rifle up, the bear struck him in a head on collision and Max rolled, heels tip, off the log. As he struggled to regain his feet the hounds, baying and yap ping, ran over him like a baud of sheep. In the excitement the bear es caped. Aside from a shaking up, Klaetsch was not hurt.
