Sheriff Wilson says — “ We
cleaned out everything but the
club’s cat". And the sheriff is
now looking for the thieves who
lately made even a more thorough
cleanup of the local hen-roosts.

Temporarily the Cascade Coun­
ty movement has been laid aside
but not forgotten and the few en­
thusiastic promoters of the cause,
who recently donated liberally of
both money and labor, are now
holding the empty sack, with
about $125 of indebtedness yet to
be met.
A number of pledges towards
the Cascade Fund are still unpaid
and it is hoped these will soon be
forthcoming, for the money is
due for actual services performed.

The Oregon City Live Wires’
committee, which is boosting the
$6,000,000 Road Bond Issue, style
themselves “The Twelve Disci­
ples of Road Efficiency" and
while they are doing a worthy
work, the unenlightened Eastern
Clackamas taxpayers from past
experience are forced to suspect
a “Judas" in the woodpile some­
where.
The Oregon Journal recently
published the following rules on
“dag etiquette", which should be
observed by all, during' these
days of patriotic displays:-
What are you doing now or
planning to do to show your love
of country and display your share
of patriotism? If you cant en­
list- if you cant join some auxil-
liary guard you at least can do
your share in increasing the Na­
tion's food supply.
So plant
more now!
Kaise the Hag at sunrise or after,
never before.
Lower the flag at sunset.
When draping the flag against the
side of a room or building, place
the blue field always to the north
or east.
Hunting should be draped or hung
with the red at the top, followed
by the white and the blue in ac­
cordance with the heraldic colors
of the flag.
It is a mark of disrespect to
allow the flag to fly throughout
the night.
A flag flown upside down is a
signal of distress.
It has been suggested that Es-
tacada's new high school building
be erected on lower Broadway,
so that the pupils may be able to
travel at least one block of de­
cent sidewalk to and from school.
Like many other worthy causes
undertaken and forsaken, the
question “ Who gave the County
Road Boss the $100 bribe?" has
been shoved into the discard.
But there are a few of us yet who
would like to have this important
question answered.
M issionary T o S p eak
The proverbial clam is a noisy
animal as compared with the *
Clackamas County Court, which
last week spent a day in this com­
munity investigating some of our
worst roads.
On being interviewed by ye
editor, who hoped to be able to
carry a front page article this
week reading "Douglass a n d
Clear ('reek Canyon Hill Roads
to be Repaired", he obtained a
few appropriate remarks regard­
ing the weather.
While Estacada may not stand
in the lime-light displaying its
sidewalks and sewer systems, it
can point with pride to its schools
and faculty, which last week turn­
ed out a bv#y and girl, who
* brought home the first and second
prizes in the County Oratorical
and Declamatory Contests.
The taxpayers of this rural sec-
tion join with the News this week
in congratulating the county au­
thorities on the thorough and
businesslike manner in which
they conducted their last raid on
the Friars’ Club and furthermore
compliment them on the stiff
tines imposed on the boot-leggers.

Presbyterians Engage New Pastor
The officials of the Springwa-
ter Presbyterian Church have
lately closed negotiations, where­
by Rev. Weld of Spokane will
take charge of the Springwater,
Eagle Creek and George Presby­
terian Churches.
Rev. Weld, comes highly rec­
ommended as an able and cour­
ageous minister and will be wel­
comed by the community. The
new pastor will begin his preach­
ing at Springwater on Sunday,
April 29th and soon after Mrs.
Weld and two children will arrive,
where they will make their home

a parish system, with the pastor
conducting Sunday services in
the mornings at Springwater,
in the afternoons at George and
in the evenings at Eagle Creek.

We have held our prices down, even

Now we must go on the market and
