Bankers to Accept Pig Paper Many members o f the Oregon Bankers Assn, in a recent con vention, have agreed to accept the so called pig-paper from the children who wish to go into the swine raising business. This work was originally started by the Oregon Agricultural College and the Portland Union Stock Yards and the demand for brood sows and the financing of same, has become so great, that the bankers have been solicited for their cooperation. It is possible that local bankers can be persuaded to accept this pig-paper and help to further stimulate the raising of hogs by the hoys and girls, in this com munity. N arrowly Escapes Sting T. H. Dodge o f River Mill last Tuesday morning narrowly miss ed being stung by a scorpion, which had crawled into the lining o f his coat. Mr. Dodge brought the scorpion which measured over two inches in length, in a bottle to Estacada, where he is having it preserved in alcohol. In the past two years a number of these poisonous, spiderlike animals have been caught in this vicinity and the Estacada High School has over a score of them in their biology exhibit. The sting o f this animal which is claimed to be even more deadly than a rattlesnake's, is delivered by a sw ift stroke of the tail. Great values in America’s finest Pianos and Player Pianos.

The Oregon City Moose Lodge was the place where the fun be gan, and the officials came out o f the fracas with plenty o f evi dence, in the form of a Govern ment license for the sale o f liq uor, a couple of hollies of the real stuff and 18 five gallon empty demijohns. The crusaders then paid an un expected Visit through the rear, side and front entrances f ao popular pool hall and a nearby restaurant. Plenty o f evidence was found and a number of guilty proprietor* were locked up to answer mote specific charges. Much credit is due the officials o f Oregon City and o f this county for their strict enforcement of the liquor laws. But it is the same old story; part of the money rais ed by Eastern Clackamas’ tax payers, is spent to help enforce the laws at the county seat It is sure an expensive luxury fo>- a rural county to maintain a real metropolis for its county seat.
