Banqnet at Estacada. • A t 6:30 the visitors met about the banquet board at the H otel Estacada, where an excellent course dinner was served by Manager Laurry. Plates were laid fo r thirty. The visitors and local committeemen were alternated about the tables and during the meal, division was thorough ly discussed. The air was, therefore, well cleared by the time Chairman C . W . Devore o f the local com mittee introduced the speakers. W illiam Sheehan, manager o f a paper mill, was the first. He com plimented the town and said with its power plants, it would not lack for sup port when it split from the western part o f the county. M ajor Noble said he appreciated a situation which saw the lion and the lamb lying down together. He thought Estacada showed the righ t spirit and while now was not the righ t tim e for him to say what his section o f the county would do, y e t he fe lt that his neighbors should put themselves in the place o f East Clackamas residents and applying the Golden Rule, lay aside sel fish interests and do the righ t thing. E very star added to our flag added strength to our eountry; every county to our state, adds to its wealth and prosperity,” he concluded. For Division - But.
