A straw yotc taken at a meeting of the
Commercial club at Oregon City, Tues
day evening, participated in by repre
sentatives from Oregon City and a num
ber from Hast Clackamas, resulted 66 to
59 against division. 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.

"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.
The rain aud clouds pheazed Es-
tacada's club Sunday, but the
Springwater team journeyed to Lo
gan and hung the Injun sign on
that aggregation, by making the
members thereof hop through nine
hoops. Scores 3 to o for Spring-
water. Mr. Dolbow, who obliged
for the Prohibitionists, was air
tight, letting down the opposition
with four hits.
Only one man
reached third base. Gerber threw
well but he was stung for to, a few
in clusters.
T he Springwater crew will be
here next Sunday to try out Esta

the Logan score, are spitting on
their hands and burnishing up their
batting lamps. They realise they
will have to go some.

Hunt, Hunting Gold
Finds
A . T. 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.

Broadway from the P. R. 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.

P. J. 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.
