With reports current from all
parts of the state of damage
done to prune, pear and cherry
crops by the present cold rains
and cold weather, to date it looks
as though Eastern Clackamas
had escaped serious injury.
Owing to the geographical and
topographical local conditions,
this part of the Willamette Val
ley usually escapes the silver
thaws, late freezes and other
harmful freak weather condi
tions.
Eastern Oregon has already
suffered a loss to its orchards
from a silver thaw this month,
with the Medford orchardists
fighting 23 degree weather.
So while the Estacada orchard
country may not be quite as well
advertised and known as some of
the older, more settled districts,
so far it has escaped the notice
of the weather man and unless
the unforseen happens, bumper
crops of fruits should be forth
coming.

“Sleuthing the Cork” is the
title of a dime novel piece of de
tective work, last week accom
plished by Sheriff Wilson and
deputies, when they successfully
traced a chicken thief to his
home, by following the hoof
prints of his horse, said prints
being characterized by an odd
cork on the horseshoe.
When it comes to ferreting out
crimes in any way connected
with corks, Clackamas county’s
Sherlocks are there, whether it
be the cork on a horseshoe or
merely the cork from a non-pro
hibition bottle.
manufacturing growth, coupled
with a good boosting spirit a-
mong its people, which interests
industries.
The time has got to come when
Estacada with its wonderful el
ectrical and water power, will he
recognized by manufacturers and
it might be made to materialize
sooner, if Estacada and Eastern
Clackamas would let the outside
world know about its wonderful
advantages and resources and its
peculiar position at the head of
the Clackamas Valley, with mil
lions of feet of government tim
ber in the mountains beyond.
This information cannot be dis
seminated until some commer
cial organization is formed, which
will take the lead.
