Eastern Clackamas News
Thursday, October 12, 1916
The News is expressing the
sentiments o f the community in
herewith thanking the board of
directors of the East Clackamas
County Fair, for their hard work
and tireless efforts in making-
last week’s fair a big success.
We also wish to congratulate the
winners o f the various prizes and
condole with the losers, both o f
whom did their best to make the
1916 fair a better one than its
predecessors.
When an exhibit o f alfalfa at
the late fair, showed a growth
o f eight feet, with three cuttings
this year, it begins to look as
though this highly valued product
can ultimately be grown in this
county and with continued ex­
perimentation and acclimatiza­
tion become a regular farm crop,
equaling or eclipsing our Clacka­
mas acclimated corn, which a few
years ago "could not be raised.”

The costs last w eek compiled by '
Judge Anderson, covering an ex-
penditure o f $24,828.06 for coun­

an average expense o f 67.8 cents
per yard, is one to be proud o f;

hence, said hardsurfaced paving
still remains hardsurfaced and
does not go the route o f the late

this paving is as good as claimed,

state, along comes the Friars
Club o f Milwaukie, which last
week yielded 35 men and women
and 70 bottles o f booze, as the
result o f a well executed raid. It
is hoped that the authorities will
deal with this latest, yet old, nui­
sance in a more drastic manner
than the former Milwaukie joint.

K greatest bulwark against the indigence of
