ESTACADA PROGRESS Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 9, N umber 7 DEEB S l ASON ENDS No F a ta litie s A m o n g H u n te rs F ew A m o n g D e e r As Postmaster Johnson says: “ I never dui like venison any way” represents the feelings of many people in this community, including friends, relatives and the immeuiale families of the dter huntets. With the ending of the season, October olsi, tne various hunting parties came straggling home, not overly burdened with troj.fl ies of the chase, although a few of them had landed a buck. The Progress office was forced to hold open after hours to allow all hunters to register excuses and from the stories and reminis- ences handed out, all nimrods had had a good time and came near bagging the limit, only the darned deer wouldn’t stand still enough. Ballard Looney of Springwater leads th t crowd in thrilling stor ies and escapes, but admits he failed to land his buck this trip. Among his hair raising adven tures was the account of a buck, (from his description about twite the size of an ordinary steer) which jumped over the log on which he was resting, and got a- way amid a shower of bullets, Ballard s aim being bad owing to a large tear trickling down his eye about then, caused by the air rush incident to the swift pass age of the stag. / allard’s party comprised H. B. Sarver of Garfield, the dean of all deer hunters; S. E. Womer of Estacada, who shot the only deer killed by the party; G. P. Looney of Molalla; and Chas. Bauer of Springwater. T h e y camped for three weeks at Camp Kilkare and apparently care was all they did kill. Richard Davis and Ralph Lem on of Garfield, who early in the season had an unsuccessful trip into the mountains, Saturday de cided to try once more nearer home and landed a big buck near Fanton’s mill. Thos Carter of Garfield accom panied by a friend, Guy Colpit of Portland, after an eight days hunt in the vicinity of Oak Grove Mountain, returned with two animals. John Howland, who lives on the upper Clackamas sho" one buck Saturday and Hen ry Warr.ock of Springwater had similar good luck in the vicinity of the South Fork. The best luck reported this season, was the potting of five deer by R. F. Palmateer. Jr. of Garfield and his cousin Ira Wills of Fairview, which they killed in the Plaza country in Cougar Canyon early in the season. Virgil Wagner obtained one five point buck near the mouth of Moore Creek. Among others who obtained deer this season, were Elmer Davis and party of Garfield and Herb Huxley of Garfield, the latter having slain an extra large fork horned buck, which is being mounted by Taxidermist Tom Carter of Garfield. $1.

I I S to c k y a rd s E x cu rsio n N ex t M on d ay I H a v e n ’s H o m e B u rn ed Early last Friday evening, a fire of unknown origin complete ly destroyed the home of Al Ha vens on Zobrist St., Estacada. Mr. Havens had left the house about seven o’clock, leaving a fire in the heater as usual. About half an hour later McColly Dale discovered the house on fire and immediately turned in the alarm, which was quickly answered by the Estacada Volunteer Fire De partment. By the time the department ar rived the house was in flames and owing to a bursting hose the fire had gotten beyond control before water could be directed upon the flames. Mrs. Havens and son Leo were in Portland and the only cause of the fire surmised by Mr. Havens was the falling of the stove pipe leading from the heat er or possibly a lamp overturned by the house cat. The property was partially cov ered with insurance but it will far from offset the loss, which included the majority of the household furniture as well as the house. Temporarily Mr. Havens and family are living in the former bakery buildingon their property.
