State Election June 4th
The 1916-17 year of the Esta
cada Schools ended Wednesday,
May 30th, with the Commence
ment exercises o f the’ high school
taking place that evening, at the
school play-shed, which building
was beautifully decorated and
crowded to capacity.
The class of E. H. S. 1917 com
prised twenty-five s t u d e n t s ,
there being fourteen girls and
eleven boys, which speaks es
pecially well for the growth of
the local high school, which last
year graduated seventeen, the
year before that six and but a
year or two prior but one.
And
the fact that the present class
constitutes an almost equal pro
portion of girls and boys is an
exceptional one in a rural com
munity, where the boys too often
do not continue through high
school.
The programs rendered at the
Class Day and Commencement
exercises were entertaining and
instructive and all participants
received the applause of the as
sembled parents and friends.
The Commencement address by
Dr. John Straub o f the U. o f O.
was one of the be>t ever given
before a local audience, while the
Baccalaureate sermon preached
by Dr. Simpson of Portland on
Sunday evening was a stirring
and uplifting one.
Among the scholarships award
ed at the Commencement Exer
cises by Fred Jorg, Chairman of
the School Board, were one to
Willamette University awarded
Miss Nettie Woodle and the Con
ference Scholarship a w a r d e d
John Schenk, this latter allows
the student the choice of six con
ference colleges, namely Albany,
Pacific College, Pacific Univer
sity, Philomath, Reed or Willa-
mina.
The class of 1917 comprises:-
William Bartlemay, Sam Barr,
Orion Coop, Joseph Demoy, Phil
Adams, Clyde Denney, Russell
Reed, Emil Johnson, Lloyd Sat
ing, John Schenk, Hilda Rees,

The Eighth Grade Promotion
Exercises, which were held in
Despite the outcome of the
state election, on the measure
making it compulsory that all
state, city and town elections be
held on the same day, the City
of Estacada will hold its regular
election on Tuesday, June 5th,
with the voting booths located at
the city hall.
The herd-law matter will be
voted upon again, with the fol
lowing question appearing on the
ballot—“ Shall any horse, sheep,
mule or cattle be permitted to
run at large on the streets, high
ways and alleys of the City of
Estacada? This must be an
swered “ yes” or “ no” by the
voters.
Voters are cautioned not to
vote on this measure as if they
were answering the question—
“ Shall Estacada have a herd-
law?“ for the answer would be
the opposite in that case.
I. D. Wright is the only candi
date for Mayor, with Mrs. Jess
M. Bartlett and Claude W. De
vore being the only candidates
for their respective offices, name
ly Treasurer and Recorder.
J. F. Lovelace and R. M, Stan-
dish are candidates for reelec
tion as Councilmen for the 5th
and 4th wards, being opposed by
J. M. Park and Will Kaake, re
spectively.
The result of the herd-law
question at this election will pro
bably be on a par with the Coun
cilmen elected — the present
Councilmen, Lovelace and Stan-
dish only accepting the nomina
tions for re-election, because
they would not lay down during
the herd-law fight and both of
them stand unconditionally for
the enforcement o f a herd-law.
At the state election on Mon
day, June 4ih, the following
measures will be voted upon:
“ Authorizing Ports to Create
Limited lnueutedness to Encour
age Water Transportation“
“ A Bill for Taxation of Ore
gon and California Land G rant."
“ Limiting Number o f Bills In
troduced and Increasing Pay
o f Legislators.”
“ Declaration Against Implied
Repeal of Constitutional Provis
ions by Amendments Thereto.“
“ Uniform Tax Classification
Amendment.“
“ Requiring Election C i t y ,
Town and State Officers at Same
T im e.“
“ $400,000. Tax Levy for New
Penitentiary. “
“ $6,000,000. State Road Bond
Issue and Highway Bill.”

Buy A Liberty Loan Bond
Lilierty Loan Bonds are the
safest investment in the world
today*. They are issued by the
United States Government and
are a mortgage on the United
States o f America our country
the richest country in the
world. They are Uncle Sam's
promise to pay, and he is worth
$225,000, (XX). 000.
Liberty Loan Bonds pay 3 ' .■
Interest and they may be nad i i
any of the following denomina
tions: $50, $101», $500, $1000,
$5000, $10,000, $50,000 a n d
$ 1(M),000. You can make a first
payment as low as one dollar and
have until August 30 to pay the
balance.
Most big business
houses will accept Liberty Loan
Bonds same as cash in payment
for merchandise.
W. G. M’ Adoo, Secretary of
the Treasury, says:- “ W a r s
cannot be conducted without
money. It is the first thing to be
provided.
In this war it is the
most immediate help -"the most
effective help that we can give.
We must not be content with a
subscription o f two billion dollars
we must oversubscribe this
loan as an indication that Amer
ica is stirred to the depths and
aroused to the summit o f her
greatness in the cause o f free
dom.
Let us not endanger suc
cess by complacent optimism.
Let us not satisfy ourselves with
the reflection that some one else
will s u b s c r i b e the required
amount.
Let every man and
woman in the land make it his or
her business to suL>scribe to the
Liberty Loan immediately, and
if they cannot suL>scribe them
selves, let them induce some
body else to sul>scril)e.
Provide
the Government with the funds
indispensably needed for the con
duct of the war and give notice
to the enemies of the United
States that we have billions to
sacrifice in the cause of Liberty.
“ Buy a Liberty Bond today;
do not put it off until tomorrow.
Every dollar provided quickly
and expended wisely will shorten
the war and save human life.”
Three Legal Holidays
Beginning with Decoration Day
of this week and including Mon
day and Tuesday of next week,
there will be three legal holidays
ni a week, Monday being election
day and Tuesday war census day.
Decoration Day was oLjserved
but slightly in Estacada, despite
the present days of patriotic pre
paredness.
This condition is
largely due to the fact that few
civil war veterans reside here
and as no G. A. R. is estaLJished
locally.
