vote, but generally in the county
balloting, e a s t e r n Clackamas
went as did the county at large,
in favor of the Republican candi
dates,
Apparently little "single-shot
ting” was done on the candidates
for the legislature, as in nearly
every instance H. 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.

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.

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.
