Miss Carpenter left for the south a week or so ago, with Miss Hannah leaving last Satur day. A farewell party was ten dered Miss Hannah on Thursday evening by a number o f her school mates. Under the date line of Oregon City and published in a Portland paper the following item appear ed last week: “ Although a newspaper of the eastern end of the county has re vived the rumor that H. S. An derson, county judge, contem plates resigning, the latter says that it is new s to him and he has no such intention. Last spring Judge Anderson w a s in pobr health for some weeks and it was thought that he might be com pelled to take a trip to California, and a rei>ort was circulated that ] he might resign, although he had ' no such intention."

It is a healthy sign of business condi tions, There was a time when the number of womer. depositors was practically nil. With the advent in the business world of so many women it was assured that the number of female depositors would show an increase. Women are inclined to be more thrifty than men.

As Estacada now has three good courts, belonging to the Es tacada Tennis Club and the Es tacada schools and has a number of good tennis players, arrange ments are being made to chal lenge the winner of the Milwau- kie-Oregon City tournament. If there are other tennis organ izations in other parts of Clacka mas County, it would be a good idea to stage a county tourna ment at Estacada, where t h e club’s courts are extra good and with the park adjoining, a pleas ant day or two could be spent.

I suppose we’ll have to take the children to the circus this year” ; has been a common remark in this town lately. So next Friday, September 8th, a good many local children, rang ing in ages from 2 to 70 years will go to see the big Barn urn & Bailey Show in Portland. The kids of this generation are not as well acquainted with the wonders of the circus, as were their parents, for t o d a y the youngsters get their thrills from the movies, the vaudeville shows and the like; yet nothing will compare with the typical circus, with its menagerie, its big rings, its clowns, its side-shows and that smell of saw-dust and pink lemonade, the memory of which stays with us long after the time when our own children are stand ing agape before the circus post ers.
