CASCADE MOVEMENT
FAR FROM DEAD
Two Hundred Enthusiasts
Attend Dinner Meeting
Besides the one hundred and
thirty who partook o f the dinner
at the Estacada Pavilion last
Saturday night, about seventy-
five moie people enjoyed the pro­
gram and meeting which follow­
ed.
While primarily the meeting
was to consider the report o f the
Cascade County Commitee, out­
lining the past months work be­
fore the State Legislature, the
meeting i everted into the pre­
sentation o f plans to continue the
Cascade movement and to work
along the lines o f united and or­
ganized effort to obtain the de­
velopment that is due this part
o f the county.
The gathering for a time took
on the aspects o f an Anti-Dim-
ick celebration, but the desire
for vengeance was in the back­
ground as compared with the
plans for the future.
Tii^ dinner which was an extra
welcome attraction, was served
I y the ladies o f Estacada and
vicinity arid netted $15 or $20
ove and above expenses, which
sum will be turned over to the
Cascade fund
Enthusiastic speeches w e r e
made by the various members o f
the Cascade Committee, with
equally eloquent talks made by
many other men and women, who
had had the opportunity to attend
the meetings at Salem, and who
were conversant with the politic-
al treachery which ended in the
defeat in the Senate o f the Cas­
cade County bill.
The report o f the financial
condition o f the movement was
made, showing a deficit o f over
$200., which^um will have to be
met by popular subscription, with
a portion subscribed that evening.
It is hoped that this deficit will
not have to be met by but a few
people and that the local public
will voluntarily assume part of
the obligation.
Contributions
may be made to Cashier Wright
o f the Estacada Slate Bank, who
is treasurer o f the movement.

For Division Of Fair Funds
Cascade Dance March 3rd
Representative H. C. Stephens
o f George has this week had
passed through the House o f Rep­
resentatives at Salem, a bill au­
thorizing Clackamas County to
give to the Eastern Clackamas
County Fair, the sum o f $500. as
its share o f the premium fund
moneys now allowed this county
for such purposes.
Clackamas County now re­
ceives about $2000. from the
state for this purpose and a $500
division for this part o f the coun­
ty is a just proportion.
It is hoped that this bill will
be passed by the Senate and un­
less Senator Dimick makes a
special attack on same, it should
receive the s u p p o r t o f that
branch o f the Legislature.
In order to raise funds to aid
in offsetting the deficit o f the
Cascade movement, a big dance
will be given Saturday evening,
March 3rd, at the Estacada Pa-
villion.
The ladies o f the Civic Improv-
ment Club have agreed to donate
a fine midnight lunch and as Mrs.
E. E. Saling is chairman o f the
committee, this feature alone
should be an attraction.
Everyone is cordially invited
to be present, as their admis­
sion money will not only assure
them a fine evening’s pleasure,
but the money will represent a
contribution to the Cascade fund.
The committee in charge o f ad­
vertising and making the dance
a success in all the districts com­
prises N. S. Lauryy, Phil Adams
and Theo. Ahlberg o f Estacada;
Chris Johnson and Henry Schmidt
o f George; Harold Horner and
Sylvester Lawrence o f Spring-
water; R. H. Currin and E. E.
Saling o f Currinsville; Herman
Davis and Tom Carter of Garfield;
Fred Bates and Carl Douglass of
Lower Garfield and Upper Eagle
Creek; Will Still and George
Smith of Eagle Creek;and Frank
Ewing and Ollie Gerber o f Viola
and Logan. .
The details of the affair will be
handled by the ladies in Estacada
and the committee members are
urged to get together the young
folk from rheir respective districts
to all attend.

Horner Brothers
To Move Saw Mill
A deal was consumated recent­
ly whereby the valuable 160 acre
tract o f timber belonging to John
Ficken o f Viola, becomes the
properly o f Horner Brothers o f
Dodge.
This timber, which lies in the
canyon between Viola and the
Ficken ranch, will shortly be run
through the mill, as the new
owners contemplate the removal
o f the mill from its present site
in Dodge to the new location,
within a few weeks.
Mixed Carload
Shipped Wednesday
To Change Electric Current
A mixed carload o f livestock
left the Estacada Yards yesterday
having been purchased by Wal­
ter Givens.
In this shipment were four
extra fine Short Horn steers,
raised by Homer B. Ballou o f
Eagle Creek, these choice offer­
ings bringing8Vj cents per pound.
It is reported that plans are
underway by the P. R. L & P.
Co. to install 60 cycle electric
power in Estacada, replacing the
present 30 cycle current Such
a change will be welcomed, es­
pecially by the users o f electrical
motor power.
Plantings For Cannery
Manager Deming o f the Esta­
cada Cannery is now ready to
canvas among the farmer of
this community with a view to
contracting for plantings of vege­
tables and small fruits for the
1917 packing.
Undoubtedly good profits can
be made by the growers o f pro­
duce for this industry and the
growers o f this community should
make every effort to cooperate.
Besides the urgency o f plant­
ing small fruits, the contracts o f­
fered for the planting of Refugee
beans, pumpkins, cabbage, etc,
should prove a profitable move.
It is necessary that all plant­
ings be o f the variety desired by
the cannery, as the demand from
the retailers is for stipulated va­
rieties and the cannery cannot sell
its pack, unless the product is
standard.
As the cannery is in a position
to furnish seed for plantings, the
canvas o f Mgr. Deming should
meet with good results, which
good results cannot help but
stimulate industrial development
through this part o f the county.
