Canby,
where the official county fair is
held, is a long, long way from
Estaeada and as a usual thing
Estaeada isn’ t represented very
strongly at that exhibit.
Speaking quite dispassionate
ly, we don’ t blame Estaeada at
all. If the next Canby fair is go
ing to be anything like the last
one, probably it would boost a
community more to stay out o f it
than it would to go in. But we
understand that there is not go
ing to be another county fair at
Canby like the last one that the
next county fair is going to be
really good.
However, to get back to Esta-
cada. Estaeada and the eastern
end o f the county bears about the

valley end o f Clackamas as Spo

Oregon City’s pure water com
mission last week signed a double
contract with the Oregon Engi
neering & Construction Company
for the construction o f the South
Fork pipe line. The two con
tracts cover the grading work
and the actual construction o f the
pipe itself. The money consider
ation involved in the contract is
between $280.000 and $290,000.
The Oregon Engineering and
Construction Company will sublet
the furnishing o f the pipe, and
possibly other sections o f the
work, but will be responsible for
the carrying out o f the water
commissions’ plans. The contract
provides that actual work must
be started within 80 days, and
that the pipe line must be com
pleted before January 1, 1910,
and that 1,000,000 gallons o f
water daily must be delivered

ed more at the East C ackamas
Fair, than at county division, it
shows why county division must
ultimately come.
In a recent letter to the Prog
ress, Editor Brodie of the Ore
gon City Enterprise, says:
“ If you peopld want a new
county seat (and o f course you
do) and can arrange a division
that will not cut off territory
down Logan way that naturally
and geographically belongs to
Oregon City, I will not fight it.”
These comments «how the
sentiment for fair play that is
now being expressed by the
county seat press and reflects
a growing feeling that ultimate
ly county division, will, should
and ought to come.
The Progress will be glad to
print letters from the readers,
dealing with current subjects o f
general interest. While the edi
