ESTACADA PROGRES O Acal Society Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 9, N umber 11 E stacada , O regon , No More Road Obstructions STILL CLAIMINC IT IMNY SEEK STATE AND COUNTY JOBS At the November term of the County Court, the following or der was passed. In the matter of wood, rock and other obstructions placed in the county roads; it is ordered that no person be allowed to place such obstructions in the county road without first obtaining per mission from the County Court. It is further ordered that such obstructions now in the county road must be removed within a reasonable time unless permission is obtained from the court allow ing such obstructions to remain where now located. County Championship Agitates 0. C. While the county seat papers gave little space to the exploits of the OreKon City High School foot ball team, during' its playing season, they are now giving con siderable space to its claim of the Clackamas County championship. It is really doubtful whether anybody gives a large darn as to who claims the county title. The state at large is certainly not in terested, nor probably many peo ple in the county itself and as tor Estacada, they have more impor tant things to attend to than wrangling over the matter. Oregon City High School sent in a challenge to the Estacada High School team after the latter had disbanded. Immediately af ter the tie game at Oregon City, a return game was mentioned, but at that time Oregon City did not favor playing at Estacada, although now, when too late, they are willing to play here or any where else. Oregon City bases its claim on having tied Estacada, although they did not play other county teams, whereas Estacada defeat ed every high school aggrega tion in the county and tied Ore gon City. The f o l l o w i n g comparative scores may be of interest to the fans: Estacada won from Canby, 102-0: Canby lost to Silverton, 0-7; Sil- verton lost to Oregon City, 0-38. By comparison E. H. S.. has ad vantage of 102 to 45. Estacada won from Woodburn, 25-6; Woodburn defeated Silver- ton, 47-0; Silverton lost to Ore gon City, 0-38. By comparison E. H. S. has ad vantage of 72 to 44. While the Estacada officials have paid no attention nor made any investigation into the eligi bility of certain Oregon City players, it looks as though there might be some members o f that team who had played over the three years allowed in interschol astic foot-ball. The following anonomous letter from Oregon City was received by the Esta cada manager recently and being anonomous was consigned to the waste-basket. “ Dear S i n - How you like to play a team that has six year men on it ? That is the kind of team you played last Saturday.” The same amount of energy expended by the Oregon City scribes in advertising their cham pionship claims in the Portland pajrers. might better have been directed in some more suitable pursuit. T hursday , D ecember 2, 1915 I The" home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Schenk, o f Springwater, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Thursday evening, November 25th, when their daughter Frieda Elizabeth was united in marriage to Edwin J. Strey of Olex, Ore. The Schenk residence was a bower of greens and flowers, the ceremony being performed under a canopy of fern, interlaced with pink and white flowers. Miss Florence Schenk, sister of the bride, played the Bridal Chorus by Wagner. Miss Emma Schenk w'as bridesmaid and Mr. John Schenk, best man. Rev. C. F. Aue performed the ceremony in the presence of the immediate famiiy. The young couple will make their future home in Eastern Or egon, where Mr. Strey is engag ed in farming. Holstein Breeders Assn. Formed At a recent meeting in Upper Garfield, there was formed an or ganization ambng the farmers, called the G a r fi e 1 d Holstein Breeders Assn., whose object will be to promote the breeding of high grade and pure bred Hol stein dairy cattle and to extend cooperative aid in the buying and selling of the stock and dairy products. The officers of the association have not been elected as yet, but those having joined the organi zation are S. Pesznecker, A. C. Anderson, J. M. Whelean, W. K. Corbin, J. F. and R. F. Snyder, R. E. Davis, A. 0. Whitcomb and G. T. Hunt. A similar organization wi l l probably be formed in a short time among the farmers who pre fer the thoroughbred Jersey stock, in preference to the Holstein.
