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.
