The Progress has written to
the publishers o f the paper, ask­
ing that a correction be made,
calling attention to the miles o f
fine roads leading into this part
o f the county.
Hundreds o f auto parties visit
Estacada a n d nearby outing
places each week and in fairness
to the visitors and to ourselves,
we should make known our at­
tractions and our good roads.
In the Morning Oregonian o f
August 30th, there appeared a
list o f the Northwest Fair Dates,
but no mention was made o f eith­
er the East Clackamas County or
George Community Fairs, so the
Progress has taken the liberty o f
asking fo r a later mention o f
these events.
These conditions are brought
home forcibly in just such in­
stances as the above and no
blame can be attached to the
newspapers or to any local indi­
viduals, but the trouble lies in
the lack o f co-operation along de­
velopment lines in Estacada and
surrounding country.
W e must blow our own horn if
we expect anyone to hear us and
free advertising is obtained by
judicious blowing, whenever the
opportunity allows.
It is’ nt too late now fo r the
Estacada Business Men’ s Devel­
opment League to get busy and
do a little real tooting.
It is reported that a County
Fair will be held at Canby this
fall and that the premium lists
have already been distributed,
but i f so, this part o f the county
must have been overlooked when
the distribution occured, as this
otfice has been asked by a num­
ber o f people, as to the wherea­
bouts o f these lists.
The Oregon City Enterprise in
a current editorial says "T h e
rest o f the county will watch
with interest any attempt in Es­
tacada to unite the churches, for
there are other communities
ready to take the step. ”
The Progress will gladly help
to call a meeting to further con­
sider church unity, at any time
that the members desire to get
together.
Mail Man Takes Wrong Medicine
A. Demoy o f Estacada came
near being tjjie victim o f a seri­
ous poisoning accident last Sun­
day, when in mistake fo r a bottle
o f sarsaparilla, he swallowed a
mouthful o f rose-nicotine. The
deadly liquid caused immediate
vom iting and after Dr. Morse
had given him an added emetic,
the drug was completely thrown
otf and no serious results follow ­
