Levings lias started suit against Clackamas coinin', to col'ect $2.000 ior sei- v ces rend .Ted in the Hill murder case A movement is being started in the Northwest to bring back good business, bv creating confidence. The constant repetition of the pow- ertul little phrase "Business is Good" will generate the unanimous confidence and that is all business needs. Lei Eastern C'ackuinas join this movement and may tile mer chants recite this little phrase when ever the opportunity arises. Levings has a contract dated last Ju li, signed by Judge Anderson and Commissioner Smith, autlioilz- ing him to gather evidence. This contract apparently was not made in duplicate, for no recoid of the agreement is on file and further more it was not signed liv Commis sinner .Walloon, all hough it Is pos sible lliat (lie signature of the third tiicuilier of the conn was not nec essary. Best Dance of the Season llie annual Firemen's Dance brought out llie biggest crowd that has attended a dance in a year. The lloor, management and mu sic were excellent ami everyone had a good time It it had not been for several private parties which were held that same night, a larger crowd would have been prescut. Levings presented his bill and the court has refused to pav same. From all accounts. Ins bill was ail that lie did present, as no facts or evidence to help convict the mur derer of the Hill family has shown up vet. Garfield Dance From a legal standpoint, it looks as though Levings has a prettv good chance of getting some sort of a settlement and that from the tax payers' money. Heiple Kirchem W edding Miss.

Hi A Y F .A k OREGON CITY STARTED IT Easte»n Clackamas Helped Defeat It To quote from the Oregon Citv Enterprise— "Oregon City is the incubator of tile good roads move ment in this county. It was Ore gon City that put the bonding proposition of a countv s>sti-m of hardsiirfaced ro ids to tile people last summer ' ’ Eastern Clackamas residents will not contradict the statement that Oregon Citv started the "counrv bonding movement" for hardsur- faced roads, although even a child, would have been aware of the fact, if it had looked over the list of roaiis to Ire improved, as all of them radiated out from Oregon City or lead hack again. Occasionally there was a road mentioned without Ort- gon City nanud at either end. but a reference to the map would show that it was merely a continuation ot a mad already leading to the county seat. Oregon City, like ancient Rome, was a great believer in having all roads lead in their general direction. Eastern Clackamas residents are great believers in good roads and a glance at the past records, will show that this part of the county havo-tor several years past taken the initiative in voting special road tax and putting it into constructing rocked and gravelled roads. Lead ing out of Klstacada in all directions are miles of rocked roads and prob ably a bigger proportion as com pared with the population than in anv part of the county. Oregon City is a nice little town and certainly believes in tooting its own horn and taking credit for all countv improvements, hut there are other nice little towns in this here part of the kountie and they build roads too. Possibly another "bonding sys tem for road building for Clacka mas counts" with a fair division of the roads to Ire improved, would carry and Eastern Clackamas would be in the front ranks, when the voting commenced. Cazadero Road A party of the P. R. L. & P. Co. officials made a trip to Esfacada last week to confer with Commis sioner Mattoon of the County Court and Supervisor Guy Hunt of G ar field, with a view to an early open ing up of the dedicated road from Estacada to Cazadero. Mr. Mat- toon hopes to obtain some of the general funds to spend on this highway.
