E. H. S. Echoes
Contributed
Most of the students have fully
recovered from the Thanksgiving
vacation.
The first debate meeting was
held Monday December 4th, and
sixteen students have begun
active work for the tryout on
December 15.
The E. H. S. has branched out
into the industrial club work.
This is the most practical of any
yet established in the school.
Those who have entered the pig
project will be the recipients of
a free trip to the stock show
in Portland, thanks to Mr. Ewing
of the P. R. L. & P. Co.
“Thompson of the Varsity,”
one of the “classiest” college
plays on the market will be pre­
sented by the students of the E.
H. S. Mar. 17. This is a play
with humor, love, honor and
romance occupying the most im­
portant roles.
The wiring for the lights in the
play shed has been put in and the
floor will soon be finished, which
the boys and girls also will find
much more convenient than the
pavilion which has heretofore
been used for basket-ball.
E. W. Bartlett, of Estacada,
kindly gave a very instructive
talk to the civics class on “Mun­
icipalities and City Government. ”

and appreciations to our many
friends for the beautiful floral of­
ferings and great kindness shown
during the loss of our loved one,

A new plank sidewalk will soon
be constructed in front of the
Estacada Post Office on Main
Street, the work being held up
for a few days until the council
decides whether the new walk
shall be built on the old or new
street grade.
The attendance at Monday’s
Taxpayers' Meeting in Estacada
was slightly reduced, owing to
the road work going on in the
Currinsville District 4 , where
several carloads of gravel were
spread on the main road from the
Milt Marshall place towards the
Upton corner, the gravel being
hauled from the cars at Estacada.

Conrad Krigbaum of Garfield
last week purchased a Ford tour­
ing car through the agency of the
Estacada Garage.
Also th e
Garage delivered to Ben S. Pat­
ton a Ford touring car, replacing
his runabout.
It remains for Ed. Boner of
Estacada to land the handsomest
rainbow trout of the season,
when last Saturday he caught a
20 inch one in the race below the
River Mill Dam.

Three men of Estacada,
On a cold winter’s day
Went to the creek a fishing,
Just to pass the time away.
Milt, he took his jitney,
Cause the way was damp and
long;
And as he wanted company,
Took Bob and John along.
At last they reached the Falls
And with skill th at’s known to
man.
Drew forth the speckled beauties,
But Bob, he caught a can.
Ye Gods and little fishes,
More news to you I ’ll tell;
You should have seen Bob’s
blushes,
When he said “ Boys don’t you
tell.”
(Editor's Note) Since the above ditty was contri­
buted to these columns, the three fisherm en made a
repeat trip to the Falls, with the result that Ye Editor
landed two big salmon and the poets each caught a
little undersized irout.
George District Votes 10 Mill Tax
As usual, the enterprising tax­
payers of George Road District
No. 9 at their annual meeting
last Friday, voted a ten mill
special tax and unanimously re­
tained Fred Lins as supervisor.
This special tax amounting to
about $1650 will be spent in grav­
eling and grading the main road,
known as the Chris Anderson
Road.
The upper Eagle Creek district
voted a 5 mill tax and elected W.
H. Douglass as supervisor.
On the same day, a meeting
was held in Barton Road Dist­
rict No. 58, where the appropria­
tion for a special tax was voted
down.
Many farmers from this part
of the county are this week at­
tending the Livestock Show at
the Portland Union Stock Yards,
including a number of the school
boys, the latter going as guests
of Mgr. Frank Ewing of the Ag­
ricultural Department of the P.
R. L. & P. Co. On Thursday, a
special rate of 75c round trip was
made by the railway people from
Estacada and nearby points.
A baby girl arrived at the Will
Closner home in Estacada, Fri­
day morning, December 1st.
Mother and daughter are report­
ed to be getting along finely.
