EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County Formerly Estacada Progress V olume 9, N umber 37 ESTACADA WALLOPS LANG GANG Locals To Play In Chautauqua Series With a slightly altered line-up, but possibly no better than form erly, the Estacada team wallop ed the Lang Company team of Portland last Sunday afternoon, by a score of 11 to 4. A good sized crowd paid their little two-bits or fifteen cents, depending on the gender of the fans, to witness the slaughter, w h i c h commenced with the seventh inning, with the score 2 to 2. At this time,- Estacada started one of its famous batting rallies, resulting in all nine men going to bat and eight of them crossing the home plate. Neil Bronson pitched seven in nings, allowing George Smith to finish the game and as but seven hits were obtained off Es tacada, the pitchers performed up to form. This was Lang& Co.’s first de feat of the season, but the clean ing was sufficient to stop all fur ther crowing, although the game might have been different had their regular twirler, Knutson, been in the box. With Roy Douglass soaking out a home run, tne following Esta cada players received hits, New ell 2; Simmons 1; C. Douglass 3; K. Douglass 2; G. Smi h 1; Neil Bronson 1; Lee Bronson 2; Go- berg 1; Art Smith 2. Lester Newell of Damascus is the latest recruit to the local team, being a speedy second base- man and a strong batter, and the fans hope to see him regularly in the game. Manager Lovelace completed arrangements with Secy. Cross o f the Willamette Valley Chau tauqua Association, Monday, for the Estacada team to take part in the coming baseball series, for the coumy championship, nlayed during the assembly from July 9th to 21sL Inasmuch as the rulings this year, only allow of Clackamas County p ayers being used on the contesting teams, Eastern Clack amas. with Estacada represent ing this part of the county, should be a strong contender. Next Sunday afternoon the lo cal team will play the Tribe of Ben Hur o f Portland on the Es tacada grounds. E stacada , O regon , T hursday , J une 1, 1916 $1.

Allen Passes Away Wednesday Boxing And Tennis Feature Carnival Beginning on Monday, W. A. Heylman, the newly appointed postmaster for Estacada, as sumed the duties of the office. For the past few weeks, Mr. Heylman has been availing him self of the co trtesies of the office, as extended to him by past post master, A. N. Johnson^ where he i has been familiarizing himself with the complicated systems in vogue in handling the govern- ! ment’s postal work. For a short time the post-office will remain in its present location but later will be moved into the old bank building, near the cor ner of 2nd and Main Sts. This building is admirably adapted lor the purpose, with vault, safe and o^her conveniences, altho the lo- ! cation is far from popular with the majority’ of merchants, who feel the need of a more centrally located station. I The interior of the new build ing has been partly rebuilt and altered, the work being done by W. W. Boner and when the boxes, windows, etc. are installed, will be a credit to Estacada, Postmaster Heylman wishes to thank his friends for the success ful support given his candidacy for the postmastership and wish es to assure the public that he will strive to give the best o f ser vice in all matters pertaining to the department and will strive by courteous treatment and atten tion to details, to conduct the of fice as it has always been han dled by his predecessor. • The News knows that it voices the sentiments o f the people in i wishing Mr. Heylman success in | his new field arid in heartily thanking retiring postmaster Johnson for his efficient admin istration. After a three weeks struggle, following a serious operation at a Portland hospital, Mrs. Annie Allen of Cazadero, passed away peacefully, e a r l y Wednesday morning, May 31st. The sad news of the death of j Mrs. Allen came as a shock to the hundreds of friends in this community, who had been hop ing for her early recovery, as an improvement in her condition had been reported up to within a day or two of her death. While to the bereaved husband, mother, sisters and dear ones, her passing is a sorrow which only years will soften; that feel ing of a deep personal grief and loss is upon everyone of us whQ had the pleasure of knowing, working with and having been associated in any way with M»•s. Allen. To the last, her spirit o f sun shine, cheerfulness and unself ishness was present, forgetting tier own sufferings in the desire to cheer her aged mother, her husband and family. Mrs. Allen, who was the wife I of C. S. Allen, was in her 33rd year and had lived at Cazadero the most of the time since their marriage in 1901, where their home has always been a cheerful spot for the various members of their family and their many friends.

Bureau of Fisheries, to pro ceed to Yes Bay, Alaska, where he will take charge of fish-hatch ery work. This appointment is a civil ser vice one and a.% Morton recently passed the necessary examina tions with a high mark, this honor is well deserved. While Tom’s many friends are congratulating him upon this de served appointment, the young i folks especially regret his leaving Estacada, where he has always been one of the most popular of the younger men. With the Eighth Grade Gradua tion Exercises taking place Mon day evening and the High School Commencement program occur- ing Tuesday evening, the Esta cada Public Schools closed until next September. The Commencement Exercises were held in the Estacada Pavil ion, which easily accomodated the crowd but failed to protect them from the cold night winds, which freely blew over the au dience. Dr. Doney of Willamette Uni versity g a v e a splendid com mencement address, followed by the preserftation of diplomas by Prin. Guthrie and the awards of scholarships by Pres. Fred Jorg. The only disagreeable feature of the exercises was experienced by the young ladies of the grad uation class, who robed in light, airy, fiimy and in some instances slightly decolette gowns, we¡ e forced to remain in their platform seats and attempt to suppress the shivers, keep their hands and lips from getting too blue and at the same time take an interest in the exercises going on about them. Oí the awards, Carl Kiinmel was presented with a scholarship to Whitman College; Miss Jessie Hanna receiving similar honors from Willamette University an Miss Leila Howe being given the Oregon Conference Scholarship, which allows her the choice of Reed. Albany, Philomath, Mc Minnville, Pacific Colleges or Pacific University. One of the pleasing features of the exercises was the plentiful supply o f gifts to the members of the graduation class, among others being the presentation of 17 beautifully bound Bibles, as a gift -from Mrs. C. W. Devore of Estacada to the class members. All graduates were remembered with presents, among them be ing a 17 jeweled gold watch and fob, which now adorns the front o f George Harkenrider. Bou quets of roses and others flowers added to the pleasure o f the oc casion, blending into the profu sion of floral decorations through out the pavilion.
