Good health has been in our
community, good crops o f grains,
vegetables and fruits. All o f us
have had three good square meals
per day and while so called busi­
ness prosperity has not been
present, we have felt the effects
o f the past financial panic prob­
ably as little as any section of
the country.
There is ahead o f us the pros­
pect of an early restoration of
business conditions, which can­
not help but directly effect us;
we have more than our share of
good weather and health and
should thank the Lord that we
live in Eastern Clackamas Coun­
ty, State o f Oregon and the
United States of America.
While the Progress does not
often stray far from subjects
pertaining to Eastern Clackamas
and usually allows the daily pa­
pers to handle the general news
items, it feels it should pay a
word o f tribute to one of the
greatest men of the day, Booker
T. Washington, who died last
week.
Mr. Washington not only stood
for the best interests of the Ne­
gro race and ever worked for its
uplift, but was himself the em­
bodiment o f the true spirit of self
education, having started at the
very bottom in slavery and re­
alized that education and know!-
