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

Bartlemay and Spack-
man

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.

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
