Play Shed Attraction
Government Loses
At a special meeting o f the
Parent-teacher association last
Thursday it was decided that it
would be a good thing to have a
supervisor at the play shed on
Saturday afternoons so that moth­
ers might know that their child­
ren were taken care o f while the
mothers were free to enjoy them­
selves. Mrs. Ames was appoint-
ed chairman o f a committee to
see that some competent person
was in charge each Saturday af-
ternoon from 2 till 5 o’ clock.
The play shed will be locked on
other days.
The United States Supreme
Court, in their decisio.: in the
case o f the O. & C. Land Grant
has decided against the govern­
ment and in favor o f the South­
ern Pacific Co., thereby revers­
ing the decision o f the federal
district court o f Oregon.
The court has ordered a delay
o f six months, during which time
Congress is expected to conserve
the federal interests.
If this decision stands, it will
mean the payment o f '$61,143.86
into the treasury o f Clackamas
county, covering the 1914-’ 15
taxes.

pecially urged to bring their

Eastern Clackamas Pleases Banker
Dorcas Society Receives $17.00
Wm. T. Wright, president o f
the First National Bank o f Union,
Or., accompanied by Mrs. Wright,
spent the week end in Estacada.
at the home o f their son, Irwin
D. Wright. During an auto trip
into the surrounding country, Mr.
Wright expressed great surprise
in the present development o f
this section and as an experi­
enced western banking man, pre­
dicted a great future for Esta­
cada, owing to its unlimited con­
tiguous fertile country.
Mr. W right’s brother, Wm. T.
Wright. Jr. o f Portland motored
out Sunday afternoon, bringing
his sister and her husband, Mr.
and Mrs. Gottfried Herbst o f
Pi liman. Wash, to join the fam­
ily reunion.
Wm. Wright, Jr., who is vice-
president o f the Scandinavian-
American Bank o f Portland, ac­
companied by his father and
mother, returned home Sunday
afternoon, but Mr. and Mrs.
Herbst are remaining for a few
days visit. Mr. and Mrs. Herbst,
who are in charge o f the musi­
cal conservatory o f the Washing­
ton State College, rank among
the leaders in musical circles in
the west.

A representative crowd o f peo­
ple from Estacada and surround­
ing country attended last Satur­
day night’ s performance at the
Family Theatre and certainly re­
ceived their 25c worth o f show.
The play given by the Garfield
Dorcas Society, entitled “ The
Trouble at Satterlee’s ’ ’ was a treat
and the acting o f the local ama­
teurs was the equal o f profession­
als.
The leading part, as taken by
Mrs. Bess Hyde Whitcomb, was
excellent and received repeated
applause. Miss Roberta Reid’s
interpretation o f the lady princi­
pal o f the girl’ s school, was a fin­
ished piece o f acting, represent­
ing a modern prim and decorous
old maid teacher. The leading
comedy part was handled by Mrs.
Kate W. Botkin and her imper­
sonation o f a scared Irish maid,
kept up a continual laugh. Mrs.
Grace Davis Jacobs portrayed a
frivolous boarding school girl,
who admit ably assisted her room
mate, Mrs. Whitcomb, in hand­
ling the plot. The other pupils
at Miss Satterlee’ s finishing
school were the Misses Ednah
Deming, Ida Wagner and Eliza­
beth Reid and they amply filled
the parts of typical papa’s spoiled
darlings receiving a boarding
school polish.
An extra good bill o f moving
pictures followed the play and
culminated the evening’s enjoy­
ment.
Cherry Feast
Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Currin o f
Currinsville last Sunday after­
noon entertained about forty o f
their friends, at their annual
cherry earing feast, The Currin
yard presented a gala appearance
with a crowd o f young peftple
busily engaged in stripping the
family cherry trees, eating their
fill and smearing the balance on
their dresses, collars, hands and
faces. When the last auto load
o f cherry flavored frolicers de­
parted, the genial host proceeded
to clean up the remains and doc­
tor up the thoroughly stripped
trees.

Oregon City Buys In Estacada
M. E. Park, the genial mana­
ger o f the Oregon City Pacific
Highway Garage, made a trip to
Estacada this week to purchase a
Ford machine from the local
agent, J. W. Reed.
This ma­
chine was to fill an Oregon City
order, as the county seat garage
was sold out.

G. Trowbridge o f Estacada, that

this week. All stock and fur­
nishings are being moved into

Handles Them Bare Handed
Miss Caroline Wiederhold o f
Bissell this week successfully
hived two swarms o f bees, with­
out assistance. She accomplish­
ed this feat bare-handed and
without a face covering and es­
caped any stings.
There are a number o f expert
bee handlers in this country,
among them being J. B. Bowman
o f Garfield and S. Turel o f Dodge.
Last week, D. L. Erdman o f
Sandy nearly lost his life, when
he undertook to handle a swarm
o f bees that had left their hive.
Mr. Erdman, who is an expert
bee culturist, did not take the
ordinary precaution o f covering
his hands and face and was con­
sequently so badly stung, that he
was unconscious when help ar­
rived.
