Side b y side, ministers and la y men, bankers and depositors, em ployers and employes wielded the shovel and rake or lugged tin cans and broken boards and took keen delight in doing it.

Co. BIG CROWD AT GARFIELD HALL SEARCH FORJIDDEN TREASURE Edward Werlein of the P. R. l ,. & P. Co., in a talk which caught the crowd, declared that “ pull is everything” and that “ Estacada being so far from the seat of government probably does not get its deserts.” " I t is timely for you to see if you can keep house; to see if you can get to the seat of government” he added. Henry Epperson of Garfield wanted to know “ why we shouldn’t have a county in Eastern Clackamas where conditions are different” and answered “ that we should.” H. F. Gibson, a busieess man of Bar ton, said, at first he was inclined to doubt the wisdom of division. “ But after reading your excellent paper here and consulting with my neighbors, we decided to be for divi sion,” he said. “ You need not fear a contest from Barton or Boring for the county seat. Estacada is the logical point. I’ll work for it.” R, M. Townsend of the P. R. L, & P., R. M. Standish and Mayor Reed spoke briefly. The meeting gave a vote of thanks to the railroad men for attending. W. A. Heylman was chair man of the meeting and G. E. La Fol- lette secretary._________ O n ly P a p e r in E a s t C la c k a m a s M A R C H 28, 1912 Notwithstanding a mixup in the hour Evincing much enthusiasm over the of speaking, a big crowd saw and heard proposed division of Clackamas county, Governor West at Garfield Grange, last a crowd which filled Boner's theatre, Saturday.
