Clear Creek Fish Have Change Of Diet A party of Portland people c a me through Estacada l ast week, inquiring for a suitable lo cation for a few days camping and outing. Fred Jorg of Esta cada, with whom they were ac quainted, directed them to the shaded banks of Clear Creek, near the Bittner mill. The campers selected a pretty spot on the creek's banks, a lit tle above the mill and proceeded to stake out the tents, unloaded the grub supply and carefully cached it in the tents and while unloading the bedding and blank ets from the automobile, heard a rush and a roar and turned in time to see their tents, food sup plies and other camp utensils, floating down stream on th e crest of a mighty wave. Come to find out, the Bittner Plug & Shingle Company had opened up one of their dams, as they do occasionally to float down the cedar bolts, and the artifical freshet floated everything else in sight. Aside from the loss of the food supply, which it is understood Mr. Bittner replaced, the camp ers succeeded in rescuing their tents, and re-established camp a little higher on the creek’s banks, where they enjoyed a few days outing. Several similar accidents have occured on the stream from the same cause, among them being sleeping fishermen suddenly wak ing in the midst of a torrent. But no harm has been done, and as the creek is posted with warn ing signs, no one is to blame ex cept the unobserving anglers.

ESTACADA, State Warden To Show Pictures Free Dance Saturday Night There will be an all night dance next Saturday evening, July 22d, at Cogswell’s Hall in Eagle Creek, wi t h everyone invited, Good music, a good lunch and a good time are promised. J. P. Stein man of Currinsville last week sold to Fred Jorg of Estacada, a Durham Cow, which Jorg states, was the finest fatted animal he had ever purchase! lo cally. This animal dressed 662fl> of good beef and allowing for the fact that it had been fed only on such food as it could graze on the nearby hillsides, was a remark ably fine critter. All is quiet again in the Eagle Creek vicinity and the residents have again settled back into the even tenor of their ways, as Cogswell, the genial storekeeper, has finally selected and bought an automobile. Cogs has been contemplating investing in a benzine-burner for some time, but believed in thor oughly investigating the merits of the various makes of automo biles before purchasing. For a time it looked as though he would be driving a Pierce Arrow; then the Cadillac was in the limelight; with frequent visits from repre sentatives o f th e Overland, Dodge, Oakland, Saxon, Chevro let, Metz, Harley-Davidson and the Hey wood perambulators; but it remained for J. W. Reed of the Estacada Garage to finally take away some of the profits of the Eagle Creek store, leaving a fine Ford touring car in exchange. Temporarily, it is reported that the Eagle Creek dance hall is be ing fitted up for a 40 lap speed course for rainy days, but within a short time, Cogs and his many friends should be making daily trips to Estacada and other parts of the county. Board Gets $200. Warrant At a meeting of the directors of the East Clackamas County Fair, held in Estacada, Tuesday mo r n i n g , announcement was made of the receipt of $200. from the county court, as per the budg et recommendations for the year.

The work of getting out the premium lists is now underway and the Iwoklets should be ready for distribution within a f e w weeks. Last Saturday, the employees of the P. R. L. & P. Co’s, light and power departments held their annual picnic in Estacada Park, but owing to a steady drizzle, the affair was a quiet one, with all picnicers forced to spend the day within the pavilion, where danc ing and a good time was had.
