Detective Sues for $2,000.
Confidence Needed
Detective I.. L. 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

sible lliat (lie signature of the third
tiicuilier of the conn was not nec

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.

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.
