It isn’t so much the actual
good done at such a gathering as
this week’s Clean-Up-Day, that
really counts, as the good results
obtained by community co-opera­
tion, with everyone working for
a common cause.
Yet it would be wise if the
army regulations relative to the
scattering of refuse in public
places was observed by us civil­
ians. The army regulations are
so strict that few enlisted me-i
even thoughtlessly drop peelings,
envelopes, papers or other refuse
on the streets, not only from fear
of the penalty, but because they
are trained to neatness.
Estacadians and our visiting
neighbors are asked to help keep
the city clean and not drop pa­
pers and peelings on the side­
walks and in the streets.
The Council has ordered that
proper refuse receptacles be
placed near the postofflce and on
other public corners and the puu-
lic is urged to use same.

Charles Bronson of Estacada
last week brought into town a 32
inch long fish, caught in the
Clackamas near the Upper Dam.
which fish was unknown to the
few local anglers who saw it.
This fish was about the size of
a steel-head trout, weighing from
ten to twelve pounds; of brown
color with no spots and heavily-
scaled, ,but having a mouth simi­
lar to that of a trout.

Mr. A. O. Whitcomb,
• Estacada, Oregon.
Dear Sir
We are in receipt of your favor
of the 27th of April, enclosing check
for $49.50, 3rd remittance for the Bel­
gian Children’s Fund, for which please
accept our thanks.
The way is still open for using
every cent we can receive.
Mr. Her­
bert Hoover, Chairman of the Com­
mission, long ago anticipated the pres­
ent situation between Germany and the
United States and arranged accord­
ingly, as you without doubt have notic­
ed by the daily press. Of course an
occasional food ship is sunk by either a
mine or a blundering captain of a sub­
marine, but relief ships are arriving al­
most daily now at Rotterdam, and you
may be sure they are very necessary.
Keep iq mind also that perchance an
occasional shipload of food is lost at sea
by any cause, it is fully insured and the
money value is not destroyed.
Sincerely yours.

While the only stretch of hard
surfaced pavement in this por­
tion of the county, comprises one
block in the business district of
Estacada—autoists must remem­
ber that owing to the shortness
of said stretch and the crowded
condition of that thorofare
speeding is not allowed.
The Estacada city regulations
limit speeding to 15 miles per
hour, but many drivers, after
plugging along on the rough and
muddy country roads, forget to
turn off that excess power, when
reaching the concrete pavement,
consequently coming into town
with a grand burst of speed,
skidding and burnt gasoline.
As there are many children
and numbers of adults continu­
ally crossing Broadway, care
must be exercised on that street.
This applies just as much to
the town drivers, several of
whom cover the block at a 40
mile clip and many of the town
children run back and forth like
chickens on a country road.

they will visit for a conple of

Laurrys Leaving Estacada Hotel
Mr. and Mrs. N. L. S. Laurry,
who for years past have been re­
sponsible for the high reputation
maintained by the Hotel Estaca­
da, are this week relinquishing
the management, in favor of Mrs.
C. E. Morgan of Portland, who
will conduct the hotel as former­
ly, but without dining service.
Mr. and Mrs. Laurry are leav­
ing in a few days for a trip to
Myrtle Point and other southern
Oregon towns, where, if condi­
tions are satisfactory, they may
continue in the hotel business.
If they do not decide to locate
in southern Oregon, they intend
to return to Estacada, and ulti­
mately improve and develope
their Springwater farm, with the
intention of making it their per­
manent home.
While the people of this com­
munity wish only success to the
Laurrys they inwardly hope that
Southern Oregon will not appeal
to them and that Springwater
will be their future home.
