Special Sale
To Secure Cut-Throat Trout
At the request o f Game Warden
Patton, this office has this week
written to the U. 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. Wells o f
Estacada left Saturday f o r a
week's auto trip and vacation at
Mrs. Well’ s former horfie at Rose-
burg, Or. During the doctor’ s
absence, a Portland dentist is in
charge o f the office.

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.
