With ideal weather, beautiful
surroundings in the groves at the
Country club in Upper Garfield and
at George, county division speakers
were inspired to do their best before
the big crowds which greeted theta
the early part of this week. Forty
people from Estacada, Currinsville
and surrounding points accompanied
the speakers and the Cascade male
quartet, picniced al Miller’ s bridge
in the George district and thorough­
ly enjojed the day. Many bad
never been in the George country.
The pretty farm homes and build­
ings, highly cultivated farms tele­
phone lines, good roads- largely
constructed by yolunteer labor—
roused the visitors to great enthu­
siasm, It was a positive treat to
those who had not realized the
possibilities of that prosperous sect­
ion. Upper Garfield too is equally
enjoyable both in improvements and
in the class of citizens and there is
no doubt that every person who
made the trip is more than ever
convinced that Cascade county is to
be the wealthiest in the state. Its’
per capita wealth now, before divis­
ion, is more than $ 1,000.
Fir«t Meeting in Garfield.
The day began with a largely at­
tended meeting at the Country Club
in Garfield. The visitors were met
by G. T. Hunt and a committee of
citizens and the speaking was con­
ducted from the bandstand. By
request Chairman C. W. Devore of
the Cascade executive committee,
presided. The Cascade male quartet
sang several songs during the meet­
ing and talks were made by L. E.
Belfils, J. S. McCurdy and Chair­
man Devore, the latter using a huge
map in illustrating the advantages
of county division. R. M. Standish
circulated petitions which were
signed by every voter and folders,
giving 85 reasons for division were
distributed.
Big Crowd at George.
Through a beautiful country the
visitors drove, after luncheon on
Eagle Creek, and drew up at the
grove near the school house in
George. Adolph Miller, who later
presided at the meeting, A. N.
Jennsen and others had prepared an
out door platform in the pretty
grove, from which the speakers
addressed a big crowd of men
women and children. The quartet
sang and and in addition to C. W.
Devore, J. S. McCurdy and L. E.
Belfils, R. M. Standish spoke brief­
ly. It has been reported that there
was some opposition to the move­
ment at George, but after hearing
the talks and discussing the matter
openly, many who had been report­
ed averse to division, professed
themselves satisfied and sigDed the
petition. Only one person declined
to sign and he only because he
thought the division line should
have included Gresham, which is
located in Multnomah county.
Both meetings were highly suc­
cessful. A meeting has been ar­
ranged for Eagle Creek at Elliott's
hall, a week from Saturday night
June 15. A dance will follow the
meeting which will be finished early
Music will be furnished by the Cas­
cade quartet and the Estacada or­
chestra.
