S. Fish Com mission at Washington, asking for application blanks, on which to make formal application for a supply o f cut-throat and black- spotted mountain trout fry, for liberation in the nearby smaller streams. It has been proven that the eastern brook and the rainbow fry, liberated in the past three years in the tributaries to the Clackamas River, h a v e n o t thrived in those small streams, with the latier species having largely followed down stream in to the main river. As the small streams furnish the natural environment for the c u t - t h r o a t and black-spotted trout, those streams should be stocked with those varieties only and as they have to be obtained through the Federal Fish Com mission, the application has been made. The Misses Josie Harkenrider o f Estacada and Dora Currin o f Currinsville, returned last week from an extended visit in the Blue Mountain country in eastern Oregon. Dr. and Mrs. Lee A.

Local Farmers Receive $35,394.00 For Hogs Continued from page 1 At the present rate o f ship ment, the local yards should han dle close to 2500 hogs during 1916 and there is no reason to believe that the 1917 season should not show an equal increase. Allowance must furthermore be made for the buying and ship ping o f many carloads of stock by other buyers and from other points than the Estacada yards. Of course, if the Estacada yards had not been established, much livestock would have been sold from this community in dressed form, but the profits and growth o f the hog and cattle industry would not have reached its pres ent high state, if the railway company and a few local men bad not fostered and put through the establishment o f the Estacada Stock Yards. The above is merely an example o f what an industry can do for a community and is presented with the hopes that the farmers and business men o f this district will take a more active interest in ob taining other industries. The Estacada Cannery, despite a few handicaps, has to date dis tributed among the growers and workers o f this section, over $1,000. and another year should distribute not less $20,000. The News is this week in re ceipt o f the announcement that a Detroit m i l k condensery firm, wishes to locate a plant in Ore gon. This is merely one o f a number o f such items received, but how is this community going to interest and locate such in dustries, when there is no com mercial organization here? A commercial club should be reorganized and that club should contain as members every farm er and business man in this sec tion. Other sections are obtain ing industries and reaping ma terial benefits, so why should not we? A number of the Estacada men are now agitating the formation o f another commercial or devel opment club and when the call comes for an open meeting, it is hoped that every property owner in this vicinity will attend. Property Agent Advised Of Thistles R. M. Townsend, Property Agent o f the P. R. L. & P. Co., accompanied by his wife and mother, spent a couple o f days in Estacada and Springwater, early this week. While here, Mr. Townsend at tended to several business mat ters and will see that immediate action is taken to destroy a big patch o f Canadian thistles, which is reported to be on the company’s land, between theCazadero flume and the Clackamas River.
