Sandy A fter A utoists A nd S tate Aid Some of the hustling members of the Sandy Commercial Club are going out after business, at present arranging to induce auto mobile travel along their Bluff Road, on the way frbm Portland to Mt. Hood. At the suggestion of Pres. Meinig, road markers and signs are to be installed a- long the road, inviting travel thru Sandy. A delegation made the trip last week to Salem, where unsucces- ful attempts were made to obtain state aid for the construction of the Bluff Road. 0. A.

Bulletin, which is read by thousands of people throughout the North west, t h e Eastern Clackamas News, (then the Estacada Prog ress) was quoted in connection with the election of the officers of the George Commercial & So cial Club. The Bulletin says: : What The Puh!ic * ♦ Wants To Know : ♦ + + + I * + + * •> + + + + + + + + + + + + + By O. W .

The exigencies of the situation were so urgent, that Walt even did a little Sunday buying, but by breaking a few speed ordinances, was able to be back in time for church service. Another carload will be shipped from the Estacada yards Friday the 17th and if the regular buyers cannot find time to buy the swine, Walt and his Ford will cover the field again. Notify Givens, if you have stock for sale. According to t h e Portland Livestock Reporter pf Monday, hog prices had reached the high est mark recorded f o r many months past, with a few extra fine tops bringing $9.(X) with market good at $8.60. It almost seems as though the livestock growers of this com munity are making a mistake by not attempting cooperative ship ments now, for it is a good time to try it oqt and it is proving profitable elsewhere. The community is not really interested in the office-seeker’s “glad hand” or his well arranged line of “ bunk” . For T he L eap Y e a r Girl At a recent dinner given by the Garfield Dorcas Society, in honor of the “ Young Ladies of Miss Satteriee’s Seminary” the following original and clever advice, was given to the girls by Mrs. A. • W. Botkin: Here’s to the girl who leaves nothing to chance, From sewing on buttons, to at tending a dance. In this Leap Year, nineteen six teen. Her opportunity’s readily seen. The reluctant youth, she can eas- • ily win. If she’ll do it it’s simple as sin Just lift your big eyes, and apply some nerve And beg him for you, a life ven ture to serve. He’s so “ hnprepared” our Presi dent has said. He’ll immediately promise, dear maiden, to wed. So here’s to the Leap Year girl my friends May she never have cause to weep— But, my advice to her will be, "Look before you leap! The public wants an answer to two questions: (1) Is he ABLE to “deliver the goods” . (2) Is he DETERMINED, IN DEAD EARNEST, to “de liver the goods” . What does a candidate for the REPUBLICAN NOMINATION mean in saying “ IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO HAVE SPECIAL COUNCIL TO HELP OUT” (Letter to the Enterprise, dated Jan. 29). Does he mean that he may not be ABLE to “deliver the goods” , or does he mean to place his 0 K on the employment of special council to assist the present District Attorney one single fee that I know of being $250. What does the same candidate mean (same letter) in saving, “ IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO EXPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS A YEAR FOR THE PURPOSE OF HIRING DETEC TIVES” . Does he mean that the Sheriff and his force of depu ties may not do the work the County pays them to do, or does he mean to place his 0 K on the Levings job, APPROVED BY THE PRESENT DISTRICT ATTORNEY, which cost the County about $2500. Indeed the County has had some detective experience and OREGON CITY HAS HAD SOME. My statement, published two weeks ago, was; “This year, as a fair estimate, the office will cost between $5000 and $6000. The amount should be $2100 and no more” . The present Dis trict Attorney HAS NOW CHALLENGED THAT STATEMENT. I said that “THE EXPENSE OF THE OFFICE WILL BE JUST $2100 IF I AM ON THE JOB” . No loophole there for “ EXPENSE OF SPECIAL COUNCIL” or “ HIRE OF DETEC TIVES” . No chance to arrive at the uame old $5000 result under a different system of book-keeping. (Paid Adv. by O. W.
