S ubscription K ates One year Six months - * . - . . $1.00 .50 Thursday, May 31, 1917 B. T. Me Bain o f Oregon City, who is one of the fairest minded men in Clackamas County and who is often misjudged on the theory o f “ Birds o f a Feather etc.” is reported to have last week stated before a meeting of the Live Wires, that the commer cial club is working hard to en gender good feeling among the dissenting factions o f the county and predicted that by the con vening of the next legislature, harmony would prevail in the county. We give Mr. Me Bain credit for his high aims, but the pave ments of Hades are made up of similar material and if harmony prevails during the time of the 1919 legislature, between East ern Clackamas and the county seat, it will be because Oregon City and the balance of the coun ty has agreed to the formation o f Cascade County. We thoroughly realize that the above “ Fire Brand” stuff may go against the grain with some of the county seat retired poli ticians, but no harmony will ever prevail in this neck-of-the-woods, so long as Walter Dimick repre sents this county in the legisla ture and until a few other Utop ian theories materialize. If the Live Wires want to ce ment closer relations with the people of this back-woods sect ion. let them make a motor trip to Estacada via the Boring Hill and Devil’s Washboard roads, then return back to their county court and see that Eastern Clack amas gets a passable highway in fact, a few carloads of crush ed rock well spread, will go much further in cementing rela tions, than anything else they can spread in this community. The new and much needed Road Markers, which were re cently made up under the direc tion of the county court and in stalled by the various road sup ervisors, are a big asset to this portion o f the county. These markers are plainly let tered. clearly indicating the di rections and distances to the nearby towns and not only are o f value to the tourists, but give a wide-awake, up-to-date appear ance to our highways. As to the reliability of the mileage shown on some markers, it is doubtful, as two are posted about a half mile apart along the Barton-Boring Hi l l short-cut road, the further one indicating Estacada as 13 miles away, with the nearer one stating 9 miles. Yet, this discrepancy can easi ly be accounted for, as one sup ervisor figured the air line dis tance, while the other probably measured the actual up and downs in the Devil’s Washboard road and it is a safe bet then he was shy a few miles. % W e Strive T o Please Our prices are kept as low as ; ) I Aint it a shame — with less than three weeks having elapsed since Clean-Up-Day in Estacada and already enough scattered pa pers, peelings and similar refuse is to be seen on the main streets, to warrant another clean-up? best we know how to give.

Park & Closner Broadway at 2nd - Estacada, Oregon Careless Auto Driver Causes Upset The News has been requested to call attention to an accident which occured recently on the Currinsville Road, when a single rig driven by Dick Gibson o f Bar ton, with a lead horse behind, was upset with the horses and driver mixed in a lively scram ble, all due to the fast and care less driving o f an auto which sped by too close to the animals. The car, which contained a number of high school pupils and was driven by a high school boy, is reported by witnesses to have been exceeding the speed limit and was not slowed down or stopped after the accident. Luckily, aside from slight dam age to the rig and the dragging of Mr. Gibson for a short dis tance. no serious harm was done. Unless the reckless autoist changes his methods o f driving shortly, legal action will t>e tak en to have his license taken away.
