ESTACADA PROGPrSíS Devoted V olume 9, N umber 3 FRANKLIN 14, ESTACADA 13 Game Played In Mud One of the best foot-ball games ever played in Estacada occured on the grounds last Saturday a f ternoon, before a good sized bunch of enthusiastic rooters of both sexes Both players and rooters paid little attention to the rain, being too intent on break ing up the plays o f the Franklin boys. The Estacada high school team made a better showing than had been hoped for against their heavier adversaries from Frank lin High school o f Portland, los ing by the narrow margin o f 13 to 14. The Franklin team came to Es tacada confident o f an easy vic tory with Dewey, the former 0. A. C. star as coach and with a line-up that averaged about ten pounds more per man than the local boys. The difference o f one point in the score was due to Franklin kicking both o f their goals before the hall became wat er soaked, while Estacada missed one, owing to its slipperiness. Coaches Irvine and Morton are more than satisfied with the showing made by the Estacada players, as the back field was ex tra strong with the line men showing great possibilities. For a first season game the team work was excellent, with a slight slow ness in forming the interference and an early season tendency to tackle too high. Next Saturday, October 9th, Estacada plays the Can by High school at Canby and our neigh bors are already claiming a vic tory, as they have a strong team this year and Coach Toby says the boys have taken to training with extra interest this year. Folsom, the new player on Es tacada ’s team, did not play in Saturday’s game, as Denny, for mer full-back, got back in time but Folsom will undoubtedly play against Canby and will probably be used in the line, where his brawn and nerve will strengthen the defense. Space will not allow of describ ing the game in detail, but every man played his position well and a few weeks more should find the home team in shape to win the county championship. The line up was as follows: Center, Schmidt Guards, Barr and Trullinger Tackles, R e e d , Sarver a n d Court right Ends, Bartlemay and Spack- man Quarter, Frazier Halves, Wagnef and Dale Full back, Denny Referee, Bob Morton lo the Interests o f Eastern Clackamas County E stacada , O regon , T hursday , O ctober 7, 1915 MANY WILL ATTEND ALL DAY MEETING PUBLIC KINDERGARTEN NEEDtO Tax Now Based On Children Ov«_r Four Livestock Growers Should Get Together There The All Day Picnic Meeting to be held Friday, October 8th at the Garfield Country Club will be an opportune time for the farm- <ers of this community to get to gether to discuss and offer sug gestions on all subjects connected with their work, from growing the products to the successful marketing of same. Pres. Hunt of the club, says that there will be no routine pro gram, with time consumed in musical or entertainment fea tures, but the day will be given over to impromptu practical dis cussion, with Prof. Boquet, head o f the gardening department of O. A. C. and Dr. McPherson, head o f the farm marketing de partment;, as speakers. There will probably be no speaker there from the Portland Union Stock Yards, but several o f the officials o f the P. R. L. «Sí P. Co., contemplate attending and will bring with them much valuable information relative to the methods and cost o f market ing livestock. This meeting offers a timely opportunity for the discussion of this livestock marketing prob lem, which is today facing every farmer in Eastern Clackamas County. Every farmer should make it a point to be present, for a few growers cannot solve the- problem. This office has listed over 300 head o f livestock which is now ready for marketing. Buyer Lucke is planning to make a ship ment within a few days, as he is due in Estacada, Friday, the 8th, and may be at this meeting. Dont fail to bring along the wives and children, for all are interested in the discussion of their several lines o f work, and a successful picnic cannot be held without the women, fo r everyone should bring a picnic lunch. Reception To Paator A reception in honor o f Rev. Spiess, the new pastor o f the Es tacada M. E. church will be giv en at the Parsonage, Friday even ing, October 8th. All are cordial ly invited to attend and welcome the minister and family. I $1. P er Y ear Few Limit Bags Obtained While dozens o f Estacada ai d | nearby hunters got an early start Friday morning alter the wary Chinese pheasants, owing to the heavy rain and a scarcity of birds few sportsman killed their allowed five birds, but the ma jority brought down from one to three. Several enjoyable hunting and week-end parties were held, with Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Currin and Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Saling of Currinsville keeping open house. From all reports, the China pheasants are not as plentiful this year as formerly, but the new law allowing the shooting o f one hen in each bag of five, helps out the returns. As would be expected, with the quail pro tected this season, these birds were much in evidence, with a big increase in the number of Beb-White quail. While this school district is drawing a tax from the state funds, based on the number of ciiildren over four years of age, no schooling is being offered to I children between the ages of four and six years. The need of a public kinder garten in connection with the Es- tacada schools is every day more apparent and the value of such I preliminary training to the chil dren, community and school is inestimable, not to mention its value to the mothers. Estacada now has a private kindergaten in charge o f Miss Roberta Reid, which is furnish ing the best o f training for the youngsters, with the Montessori methods used.
