Estacada High School will meet
their old rivals, the Oregon City
football team, on the Estacada
grounds, next Saturday, Nov. 21
at 2.30 P.M.
Owing to the poor support that
has been given the Estacada boys
recently, which has left them in
debt, negotiations were under
way to hold the game in Oregon
City, but thanks to some of the
public spirited citizens of Estaca
da, a substantial sum has been
raised, as a guarantee of the ex
penses of this game to be held
here The fact that Estacada has
had a losing team, accounts for
much of the lack of attendance.
Everyone should witness this
struggle, for it will be a hummer
from the start. Remember, it is
another case of showing Estaca-
da’s supremacy and a good crowd
of rooters is needed.
It will cost but 25c to see the
game and it will be worth six
bits. If Estacada plays as good
a game as they did against St.
Johns, they will win and they
should play a better game, for
they have been improving stead
ily. Oregon City have a strong
team and with last year’s ' defeat
in mind, they are out for our
scalps.

Death of Henry T. Harders
The sudden death of little Hen
ry T. Harders, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Theodore Harders of George
last Thursday afternoon was a
shock to the parents and friends.
The little boy was apparently
in the best of health, during the
forenoon, but was stricken later
in the day with heart failure and
died before the doctor arrived.
The funeral services, in charge
of W. Givens of Estacada, were
held last Sunday at the Harders
home.

These berries were handled in
pools and the produce was ship
ped when prices were high, and
canned when low. Canned fruit
brought to the grower, 4 to 4-&
cents lb., for strawberries; Ever
green berries, 2-K to 3- '/t cents;
red raspberries, 5- '4 to 5-K
cents.
Mr. Davis states “ at any time
you think it advisable to call a
meeting, we will be there and try
to explain our intended plans.”
An early meeting should be
held to consider this proposition
and a date will soon be set. This
office would like to have some
suggestions regarding the calling
of such a meeting and would like
to Tiear from the growers and
others interested.
