Eastern Clackamas News Published every Thursday at Estacada. Oregon K. M. Standiah, Editor and Manager Entered at the postoffice in Estacada, Oregon, as second-class mail. S ubscription R ates One year Six months - - - - >!.'"> .50 Thursday, December 21, 1916 In talking over the Clackamas County Budget Meeting, occur ring a week ago last Saturday, several taxpayers have called at tention to the lack of any action taken by the taxpayers covering the item headed "Estimated Re ceipts from other Sources than Direct Taxation" which amounts to $20,300.00. The taxpayers allowed the ma jority of the appropriations ask ed for, including expenses of Re corder’s, Sheriff’s Clerk’s and other offices, which showed an income in the above item. The question is what will be come of the $20,300.00 and to whom, and where does it go? The “ LiveWires” oftheOregon City Commercial Club are plan ning to issue special literature, dealing with the advantages of industries locating there, es pecially since the P. R. L. &. P. Co. has announced a decided re duction in the rate for electrical power for manufacturing. As Eastern Clackamas County is the center for the largest part of the generation of electrical power of the P. R. L. & P. Co., Estacada, through its Farmers’& Merchants Club might well emu late the "Live Wires.” In the Golden Anniversary is sue of the Oregon City Enterprise, considerable space was given over to a description of Clackamas County’s fruit growing resources, calling especial attention to the Estacada country; no mention A Christmas Song H, FLORENCE EVELYN PRATT Oh, Christmas is a jolly time When forests hang with snow And other forests bend with toy* And lordly Yule logs glow' 'n d Christmas is a solemn time Because beneath the star The first great Christmas Gift wai given To all men near and far r ot not Come For one Hath was made, of the fact that Clack- ; amas County refused to appro priate a cent for the protection of its fruit growers during 1917. alone at Christmas time holi’r.y and cheer. who loves a little child Christmas all the year T h e O ld M aste rs and C H r stmai.

If Wilbur continues to creep out on legal technicalities, he will soon be qualified as the real suc cessor to Fritz Boysen, the no- torions Hotel Belie booze peddler who cost Clackamas County thou sands of dollars and ended up by giving the authorities the laugh. It is reported that the Stati Fish & Game Commission is con sidering the increasing of hunt ing and fishing licenses from $1 to $1.50. If such an action is taken, it will meet with the antagonism of the majority of sportsmen and especially will antagonise many local farmers and ianchers, who today do but little hunting or fishing in a year, hut who do much good work in the restock ing of streams, liberation and care of game etc. Much credit is being given the famous paper manufacturers of Oregon ¿ ity this year, in annouc- ing substantial Christmas gifts for all employees. But some of us publishers de serve part of the credit, as we are the ones who are today pay ing 8c per pound for their paper stock, instead of 2 or 3c as a year or two ago.
