The closeness of the vote was a surprise to the opponents of division, who had confidently expected a 2 to I victory. The vole wai the culmination of a ser ies of meetings held with Oregon City, during which Cascade county advocates attempted to secure an expression of sen timent from the Oregon City organiza tion. A climax was reached Tuesday night, when, after an objection *o a vote had been made by representatives from Sandy and Boring, it was ordered by President McBain, who took pains to ex plain that it bouud nobody and was sim ply an expression of sentiment of those in the room, as nearly as it could be reached by the straw vote route. Every body at the meeting was ullowed to vote, much\o the surprise of Kstacada, which supposed only the Oregon City Commer cial club was to vote. Cascade county now knows as much about how the people of Oregon City stand on the question as it did before the conferences were held. And no more.

The Cascade boosters were well treated and no Oregon City man spoke against division. What verbal objection there was, was registered by a few representa tives from Boring, Sandy and Eagle Creek. They were called on to »peak, by President Me Bain and the gist of their argument was that they knew little about the subject and were therefore against division because they believed that taxes might be higher. They also apologized to Oregon City for voting for annexation to Multnomah two vears ago and wound up by saying they were born in Clackamas county knd hoped to die here. Kagle Creek bad a divided delegation. The principal speaker for the.objectors was Noah Stingley, who told liow he rode horseback, like Paul Revere through Kagle Creek and secured 6t signers against division. Two other Kagle Creek men, J. W. Doty and J. W. Cahill said they were not prepaied to express an opinion. Both wore Cascade county badges. Sandy and Boring speakers against di vision were Messrs. Root, Shelley, Dunn, McCabe, Proctor, Younker, Strause, Thomas, Moran, Brooch, Telford, Elliott, Cook anil Kertchel of Logan. A r g u e fo r a D iv isio n .

"U p with your hands!” the hold up man again yelled and this time the boys obeyed. The man with the rifle kept the weapon pointed at the trembling lads, while Cecil Browne begged him not to shoot. Then the other man joked about the incident, but the boys were compelled to stand with hauds elevated for perhaps five minutes. "N o w you kids, hike out ot here" said thegunmau, "And don't you stop or I’ ll fix you.” The boys ran most of the way home. Morley and Cecil Browne are sons of Rev. Browne, pastor of the Methaxlistchurcb, Russell Reed, the son of the mayor. They went out to Zion church to notify the people that the -minister would not be able to appear because of sick ness, They were on their way home when accosted. It is the general opinion the men were drunk. Both wore black slouch hats pulled low on their faces T he boys would recognize them if they are caught. The rifleman wore a kaltki suit and was smooth shaved; the other blue overalls and carried a blacksnake whip. The boys were taking a short cut from Zion church to the county road, when they ran into the would-be- bandits. C. W. Devore, chairman of the Cas cade county committee opened the argu ment for division, saying that Kstacaea was not kicking against Oregon City, at some of the opponents of division had stated, and adding that practically all the apeakers had worked logo into Mult nomah county two years ago and failing, had decline*! to listen to any other plan of division. He presented figures as to population, assessable properiy and sal ary list of about 56.000 for county officers in the proposed county, showed that the per capita is nearly #i.ooo and that the county seat could not be settled inside of four years, according to law. No court house is necessary as rooms can be rented. Referring to the Kagle Creek petition, he said he did not doubt be could go about the streets of Oregon City and se cure a big list of objectors to the proposed Oregon City armory. Then followed speeches from repre sentatives of various precincts, warmly advocating division. These were some of the speakers: Messrs. Cromer and Folsom of Springwater; E. E. Sating, Currinsville; Randolph of Viola; If. Ep person and G. T. Hunt, Garfield; George Bpperson, Cascade; J. W. Reed, Esta cada; H. F. Gibson, Barton; B. D. Olds, Oak Grove; W. F. Cary and L. E. Bel li Is, who closed the argument with an excellent presentation of the *|uestion, quoting data and figures.

Hunt, while hunting in the mountains last week found in the sand of a creek, a solid gold nugget weighing 123 grains. At the market value, it is worth be tween $5 and $6. The Irequency with which nug gets are turning up in the Estacada country of late is exciting the inter est of prospectors. T w o years ago Mr. Hunt found several small nug gets in the same locality where the largest one turned up last week. He also has a piece of quartz which shows color under a magnifying glass. The nugget which he has now, appears to have been washed a con siderable distance for it is smooth, except for a few iudentatiouson one side. It is a handsome specimen and he bas been offered its value but declines to take it. He expects to resume prospecting shortly.

L. & P. depot to Second street is soon to have a first ciass macadam pavement with concrete guttering and curbing on both sides. An ordinance providing for the gutter and curb will be introduced at the next meeting of the city council and without doubt, will pass. More than two thirds of the abutting property owners have agreed to sign a petition for the improvement. The P. R. L. & P. which owns all the east side of the block on Broadway and J. W. Reed, who owns a large part of the west side, are willing that the work be dene. The railroad company with its characteristic enterprise, has do nated the crushed rock for the pave ment and will pay its share of the curb and gutter assessment.

Reagan, who operates the stone crusher, will likely have charge of the work demonstrating what can be done in the way of a macadam street. When completed the block will be one of the most attractive in town, giving visitors to Estacada an excellent impression of the city. Appropriation, recommended by Traf fic Manager Hunt of the railroad com pany, for clearing the right of way along the townsite, has been approved and the money is now available for the work. The stumps will be pulled and the ground thoroughly cleared. Local labor will be used. In addition Cary Brothers, owners of Terrace addition, have awarded the contract for grading the switch track over their property and as soon as this is finished, the rail road company will lay the steel. Alto gether the entrance to the city will be greatly improved this spring. DR. CUREM NOTICE OF CONTEST Department of th « Interior. United States Land Office, Portland. Oregon. May 6 th. 1912.
