Pete Jochimsen, the quiet and
hard working Maxwell agent in
Estacada, seldom has much to
say, preferring to listen to the
claims o f other auto enthusiasts,
while he and his Maxwell are
plugging away.
Pete did do just a little bit of
modest bragging the other day,
after hearing o f some o f the ex
ploits o f rival cars on the snow
banked roads between Estacada
and Portland.
Pete and his Maxwell came
out from Portland Sunday night
and near Gresham overtook an
E. M. F. car stuck in a snow
drift. Now, this is according to
Pete, but Pete says he merely
drew up behind the unfortunate
car, helped move it out o f the
way, then knocked that drift in
to the adjoining field with his
| Maxwell, leaving a clear right of
j way for all following machines.

Calavan Visits Estacada
County School Superintendent,
J. E. Calavan, who has announc-
j ed his candidacy for the position
j which he now holds, was an Es-
' tacada visitor last Saturday, be-
|ing accompanied by C o u n t y
; School Supervisor, Vetter.
The men spent the day at the
Estacada school house, where a
county teachers’ institute was
conducted.
Among those pre
sent were teachers from various
points in the county and many
! high schools girls, who are tak
ing the teachers’ training course.
Library Fund Increased $50.
As a result o f the amateur piay
rendered Saturday evening, by
the local dramatic talent, a total
of $68.05 was taken in by the Li
brary Committee o f the C. I. C.,
from which, after deducting ex
penses, a net profit o f about $50
was left.
T h e play, entitled ‘ ‘Three
Hats” was a hummer from the
rise o f t h e curtain until the
grand finale. The Boner Theatre
was packed to its capacity, with
an audience made up o f residents
o f Estacada and all nearby sec
tions..
Space will not allow o f a de
tailed description o f the play and
the worthy acting o f the parti
cipants, but the result showed
that many hours o f patient work
and study had been given to the
work.
Those taking part were Mrs.
Madaleine Wright, Mrs. Annie
K. Morton, the Misses Roberta
and Elizabeth Reid, Dave Esch-
leman, Irwin Wright, Tom Mor
ton, Harley Trowbridge a n d
Harry Reid.
Much credit is due the mem
bers o f the Bronson orchestra,
who added much to the pleasure
o f the evening with their music
al selections and to Mr. Harry
Williams o f Portland, who ren
dered several delightful vocal
pieces during the intermissions.
Have you thrown out a supply
o f feed for the pheasants and
quail lately? Dont forget it, if
you wish to have the birds live
through this cold spell.
Two Varmints Less
One would naturally suppose
that Ernest H offm eisterof Eagle
Creek, after having suffered the
loss o f an arm, as the result o f a
hunting accident last fall, would
refrain from further intercourse
with firearms
and a couple of
wild cats in the neighborhood,
supposed so too.
Last week, Ernest and his un
cle Dave, with their two hounds,
treed a couple o f bob-cats, both
o f which were shot by Ernest.

soon for San Diego.
