EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 10, N umber 43 E stacada , WHAT HAVE YOU TO SWAP? T hursday , J uly 12. 1917 EASTERN CLACKAMAS WAR CENSUS REGISTRATION NUMBERS AND NAMES BY VOTING PRECINCTS E s ta c a d a S h o u ld E sta b lish “C o u rt D ay ” D e v o te d T o T ra d e , B a rte r A n d S ale Court Day, as it is called, has been an institution in certain Kentucky towns tor years past and has proven a valuable asset to those towns and communi ties, besides furnishing plenty of entertainment and bringing the people closer together. Court Day occurs once or twice per year, or as often as desired, at which time everyone in the community is invited to come to town and bring with them any thing or everything which they wish to sell, trade or barter and before the day is over thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, live-stock and especially second hand articles h a v e changed hands. Why not establish in Estacada, a Swap Day, conducted along similar lines? It would not only prove a good live advertisement for the town and community, but would serve a long felt need. That such a day would be wel come and a success is amply evi denced by the very fact that hundreds of local people attend every public auction that is stag ed in this community, all eager to buy the second hand goods of fered; showing that there is al ways a demand for used imple ments, household goods, live stock, poultry, swine and the like. Through the “ Wanted and For Sale“ columns of the News alone in the past few years, thousands of dollars worth of trades and sales of second hand goods have been conducted, with old buggies, wagons and harness es traded for livestock, imple ments, m u s i c a l instruments, guns or cash. And as for second hand ranges or heaters, there is a demand way beyond the sup- O regon , Y o u n g M en S u b je c t T o C o n sc rip tio n S h o u ld R e m e m b e r T h e ir N u m b ers.

These traders now meet occasionally and do their swapping over the line fences, but like fighting cocks they should be brought to- E. Anderson 661, R. Alspaugh 662, O. Rickman 663, ('url L.

At the regular monthly meet ing of the Estacada City Council, held Tuesday evening, R. M. Standish resigned as councilman of the 4th ward. The resignation being accept ed. Dr. L. A. Wells was elected to fill the unexpired term of four years. The appointment of Dr. Wells is a wise one, for being a property owner and luisiness man of the city, he i.s ably qualified to aid in the city’s government. In explanation, “ ye editor” de sires to oiler a few excuses, hut primarily wishes to present be fore the people of Estacada, u portrayal of conditions now cur rent in this city, which need remedying at once. These conditions are not all ap parent to the average citizen, al though many of them are in plain sight, but l>eing overlooked. As a result of over two years service as a member of the city council, “ ye editor“ has had an opportu nity to observe and ascertain con ditions, which are not visible to the average taxpayer. The following suggestions arid statement of facts are not pre sented in a spirit of pique or fault finding, hut to wake up our citizens to a realization of condi tions, which if allowed to con tinue, will end by our home city back- sliding, instead of continu ing a steady, healthy municipal growth, This is done with a full know ledge of the fact that as an ad vertisement for Estacada, it may do some slight harm, but no im provement will be forthcoming in this city or any other, so long as the residents refuse to face the true conditions and act ac cordingly. Probably the greatest harm to day l»eing done to the ( ity of Es- tarada arid a serious handicap to its officials, lies in the present apathy of the majority of the city’s inhabitants and the actual antagonism of a few, towards the city’s officials and their work. Estacada is now undergoing a transition period. The city’s side-walks and streets and its sewer systems are in a badly worn and neglected shape, most of them having been hastily eon- Concluded on back pajfe Conrltiderl on fifth page Gonchxted <»n p*<** five p'y. Thanks to the public-spiritedness of Attorney C. W. Devore of Estacada, who voluntarily spent a few hours Monday in Oregon City obtaining the following data, the News is herewith abie to furnish its readers the names and registration numbers of all men in this territory, who are subject to the U. S. War Census Regis tration and Conscription. Due to lack of time, Mr. Devore was unable to copy the data for the Viola precinct, but the News hopes to be able to publish same later. As to the method to be employed in the National Draft, informa tion will be published as soon as received from Washington. Rut ail eligible men are cautioned to remember their numbers. As the printing of this list, will do away with each man having to make a trip to Oregon City to obtain his number, the News is pleased to be able furnish same. A limited number of extra copies of this list have been printed and are for sale at the News office as long as the supply lasts. • Estacada Precinct No. I P. M. Anderson 698, L. S. Bronson 699, J. W.
