C. Stephens of George received the high vote, with Geo. C. Brownell second and H. A. Dedman, third. De spite the strong Democratic ten dency in many iocal districts, J. E. Jack, the Democratic candi date, received the small end of the voting. The vote for County Commis sioner was close, with Proctor of Sandy winning, especially as George and other district.’, near Sandy voted strongly for their neighbor. The vote on the District Attor ney was consistent, with the Re publican districts standing well for Stone and the Democratic ones going for Hedges. On the amendments and initi ative measures, eastern Clacka mas took a decided stand, strong ly voting down the Brewers’ Amendment and generally voting for all measures that carried and against those defeated elsewhere in the state. For Constable, Edwin Bates of Estacada on the Republican tick et, defeated A. G. Ames of Esta cada, the Democrat, even in the districts that were strongly Dem ocratic. A small Socialist vote was evi dent, with a scattering of Prohi bition strength, with the Pro gressives nearly eliminated. Of all county officers, probably Miss Iva Harrington as County Clerk, received the highest en dorsement locally, even as com pared with other offices where no competition existed.

These figures were true i n the presidential Has Hand Crushed Under Car A. J. Dwyer of Barton, head of the Dwyer logging camps at that place, met with a severe and painful accident November 1st, when during the course of shunt ing cars, he fell between two cars, with the wheels nearly severing his right wrist. Dr. Adix of Estacada was im mediately called and after rend ering first aid, had Mr. Dwyer taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Portland, where it is reported the hand will not ,have to be ampu tated. $1. P er Y ear CROWUS GUESTS OF MERCHANTS Free Movies, Dance And Returns Hold Visitors Till Late Hour Tuesday night in Estacada was a gala time with five hundred or more of the town and country people enjoying the festivities as guests of the business men. The eleventh h o u r arrange ments of the hosts were rather crude, but with free moving pic tures, election return service, re freshments and a big dance, ev eryone apparently had a good time. A more good Matured and order ly crowd was never assembled lo cally and until 10:30 o’clock the business district was the scene of the fun, with the merriment con tinuing in the Estacada Pavilion during the d a n c e , until a late hour. Had the merchants be^n able to give a little more time to the amusements and musical attrac tions, with a better illumination on Broadway, it is possible a bet ter time might have been bad, but as it was, everyone seemed to be happy, with a few just a lit tle more happy than their fellows. County Championship To Be Settled Next Saturday afternoon, No vember 11th on the Estacada gridiron, the football game to de cide the Clackamas County High School championship, wi l l he played, between teams represent, ing Oregon City and Estacada. While the record of the Esta cada team so far this year is not as good as last seasons, the team is now worked into fast condition and should make the county seat- ers hustle to win the champion ship. Last year’s contest at Oregon City, it will be remembered, re sulted in a game called on account of darkness with the score 0 to ()., but nothing short of a victory will satisfy Coach Baker’s men for this year. A big crowd of local rooters should attend this game and help the home team win, for Estacada like any other team always plays better on the home grounds and before a.friendly crowd. t
