I f this and former issues of
the News o f late, during these
strenuous days o f County-Division
is below normal in the amount of
reading and news matter printed,
our only excuse is that we are
giving our entire time to the Cas­
cade County cause.
In as much as hundreds o f our
brother and sister taxpayers in
this part o f the county are devot­
ing their time and money to the
same good cause, with probably
little time left for the perusal of
the home-paper, we hope our ex­
cuse will be accepted.
We also wish to thank our ad­
vertisers, all o f whom are devot­
ing time and money to the good
work and who incidentally, in or­
der to allow the News staff to
spend more time on county-divi­
sion and less type-setting have
substituted for their display ad­
vertisements, just a few words
in favor of Cascade County.
Yes—everybody is working for
Cascade County and it looks as
though we will end by having a
HOME county, governed by the
HOME people and expending the
HOME money for the good of
HOME interests.
It wont be
Heaven, but it will lie a blamed
sight nearer than eastern Clacka­
mas County is today.
A Wise Old Cat
One of the best known figures
in the Estacada business district
is the handsome tom-cat, belong­
ing to Fred Jorg o f the Palace
Meat Market. This wise old ani­
mal feels equally at home under
the stoves of any o f the nearby
stores, preferring the News office,
where hot air is more plentiful.
Since the cold weather set in,
old Tom has had to either take
his naps on the benches on Broad­
way, or has to miss hearing some
o f the Cascade County discussions
so he has taken to snoozing on
the warm hoods of the automo­
biles parked alone the pavement,
where the heat from the engines
guarantees sweet dreams and
places him well above the level
o f the town’s dogs, to whom he
pays no attention while awake.
Annahell, the 19 months old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. f. J.
Smith o f Garfield, died yesterday
and will be buried in the Zion
Cemetery. Garfield.

The Eagle Creek school is do­
ing good work under the able care
of Misses Phelps and Harding.
As there is but one ninth grade
pupil this year, there is talk o f
discontinuing that grade, thus
giving the teachers more time for
the lower grades.
Miss Clara McLaughlin, a neice
of B. F. Forrester, died in Portland
last Thursday at the age o f 23
years, and was buried in the For­
rester Hill cemetery, Saturday.
Death was the result of an op­
eration performed in November,
complications having set in. She
was the daughter o f Tillie and
C. A. McLaughlin, who grew up
in the Forrester home east of
Eagle Creek, and is well remem­
bered by many. Funeral services
which were well attended, were
conducted at the Eagle Creek
church by Rev. Aue.

E. Naylor was an Estacada visi­
tor on Monday.
A demented man by the name
of Johnson, came to the home o f
an Eagle Creek lady during her
husband’s absence and on bended
knees and with tears, implored
her forgiveness. With the assis­
tance o f the hired man, he was
pacified until the husbands return,
he was taken to Portland where
it is said he had a home.
