ESTACADA PROGRESS Devoted to the. interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 9, E stacada , O regon , N umbek 5 Council Meeting WON IN THE LIST 8 MINUTES The Estacada City Council met in special session in the City Hall last Tuesday evening and com pleted the details of the city and special road budgets, and discuss ed the adoption of better book keeping methods for the offices of Recorder and Treasurer. The council inves; ¡gated the re ports current in Portland papers regarding the accident to Estaca da City Marshall A. G. Ames last Saturday and after listening to testimony from Marshal Ames and others, decided to prefer no charges against him, unless fur ther investigatio : discloses suffi cient grounds. According to Mr. Ames account of the accident, he was in no way to blame and two similar ones have occured in the same place, one previous and one since. He furthermore states that he was not intoxicated and the tes timony of o.hers substantiates his claim. E. H. S. Defeats St. Johns 14 to 12 The biggest crowd of enthus iastic rooters that has attended a foot ball game this season, got a $1 run for a 25c ticket at last Saturday’s game, between the James-John High School team of St. Johns and the Estacada foot hall hoys. To name Estacada’s star would be to show the entire line-up from Wagner, Denny, and Dale behind the line to the boys who formed the stone-wall itself. The Jimmie-Johnies were cap tained and generated by a Chi nese athlete, who played quarter back and all hats were taken otf to this heady, snappy player, but for whom the team would have offered little opposition, although each man played his individual part well. The local boys probably were a trifle heavier than their oppon ents, but this added weight was not what won for E. H. S., but regular old fashioned hard line plunging. At the outset of the game, Es tacada carried the ball to within a few yards of their goal by a series o f line plunges, then changed tactics and attempted a pass which resulted disastrously, their opponents getting the ball and until within about eight min utes of the end of the game, had possession o f the pig-skin the majority o f the time, making big gains and 12 points by expertly using the forward pass and other trick plays. Soon after the beginning o f the last quarter when Estacada’s chances were as good as a fern in a Garfield apple orchard, the home gang got hold of the l>all and by line plunges, coupled with a fair break in luck, ran it through for a touch-down with the goal kick added, leaving the score 7 to 12. The second touch down with its well kicked goal followed rapidly and among the cheers and yells o f the students and townspeople, the St John’s boys were defeated. This was Estacada’s first op posing team which expertly play ed the open game of football with trick plays and well aimed passes and they came near meeting de feat. Had the game been played in the rain or with a wet ball, St. John’s wonderful otfense would have utterly failed. Estacada must practice a defensive system to offset Saturday’s style of of fense and furthermore must be T hursday , O ctober 21, 1915 DID you RESERVE II SEAT Livestock Luncheon Promis s Crowd From present indications there will be from 60 to 100 livestock growers from this part of the county, as the guests of the P. R. L. & P. Co. at the luncheon and meeting to be held at the 1 Hotel Estacada next Saturday | noon. With the cooperation of the young ladies in the telephone of fice, the Progress has already re ceived reseivations from the ma jority of the stock growers in this vicinity. In order that Mine-Host Lauryy of the Estacada Hotel may know how many guests to figure on, it was necessary that reservat ions be made by Thursday evening. In ' as much as but a few women have expressed a desire to attend this meeting, it has been decided best to make it a "stag atfair” , as the presence of some of the . I , v . fair sex might prove too strong Sister Cities Day an attraction to some of the The Manufacturers’ & Land growers and the business of the Products Show has designated meeting would b’e lost sight of. Tuesday, Oct. 26 as “ Sister Cit All growers should bring their ies Day” The Sister Cities be families to town on Saturday ing, Oregon City, Vancouver, anyway, as the moving pictu e Linnton, Estacada, Gresham and show will be open as usual and Oswego. the merchants will still be at Local people are invited to at their regular siands. tend the show on this day. j 1 j i i more on the alert for double pass es, fake and trick plays, and incidentally supplement t he i r strong offensive game with sim ilar tactics: Estacada is handicapped by not having a second or scrub team to practice against. It would be great sport for all concerned if some of the boys o f Estacada would organize a scrub team and give the high school boys a good scrap with its consequent real practice. Bob Morton of E. H. S. ’ 13 ref ereed the game well and with the aid of linesmen Guthrie, Somers and St. Johns representatives handled the game in a good sportsmanlike manner. E. H. S. will play Milwaukie on the Estacada grounds next Saturday afternoon and everyone should attend this contest. Many people have not attended these games because they do not un derstand the game of foot-ball but even without a technical knowledge of the game, they will thoroughly enjoy the sport and incidentally help the student ath letic l»ody to make both ends meet financially. Remember a winning team for Estacada is as good and cheap an advertisement as the town can have, __ Harvest Festival The Harvest Festival in the Springwater church last Sunday was well attended by a happy and grateful throng of people, which filled the edifice to over flowing. The music was well ap preciated and the chorus under Mr. David Horner’s inspiring di rection sang two great chorus works of Hayden and Handel: “ The Heavens Are Telling” from the “ Creation” and the “ Halle- julah Chorus” from the “ Mes siah.” Mr. Fred Horner’s solo from the “ Messiah” was listened to in rapt attention. The morning sermon w a s preached by Rev. C. F. Aue, the pastor, and the afternoon sermon by Mr. Walter Givens of Esta cada. Everything, including the din ner, was excellent. — Hog Prices Better With the price of pork 65c high er than ten days ago, Buyer Luck* is meeting with success in purchasing hogs in this vicinity, having shipped one carload Wed nesday morning and contem plates making another shipment Monday. ! Instructive Parent-Teachers Meeting Last Thursday afternoon’s meeting of the Parent-Teachers’ Assn, at the Estacada school was especially well attended and the 35 or more present were well re paid with the fine program, which had been arranged by Mrs. Maud Graham. Dr. Meier of Portland was the leading speaker, her address deal ing with “ School Hygiene” and in the course of her talk, she plainly pointed out to the assem bled mothers, their duty and the care which they should exercise over the health of their children, in detecting adenoids, defective hearing, etc. The musical program included a solo by Mrs. Claude W. Devore and four beautiful violin duets by Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Aue, A part of the prog am consist ed of a feature rendered by the pupils of Mrs. Graham’s class. Dr. R. Morse of Estacada con ducted an interesting and in structive “ question box” . The next meeting will be Thursday, November 11th. The topic will be “ The Study and Ap preciation of Pictures as Taught in the Grades” . The program will be in charge of Miss Wash. The club meets the second Thursday afternoon of each month in the auditorium of the school, and is arranging to have a series of lectures delivered to the mothers by Miss McQuaid of the school faculty, covering the subject of home making, includ ing cooking, millinery work, home decoration, etc. As a suggestion, the Parent- Teachers Association could not father or rather mother a more important undertaking than the establishment of a public kinder garten in connection with the lo cal schools. Feature Films As advertised elsewhere in this paper. Mgr. Sparks of the Esta cada Family Theatre has complet ed plans for the showing of the famous Kleine-tyiison Feature Films, every Wednesday even ing, beginning October 27th. For some time past there has been a desire expressed by the “ movie fans” of Estacada and vicinity for high grade feature pictures and Mr. Sparks has gone to a heavy expense to satisfy this de mand and trusts that the public will back him up by regularly attending.
