At about 4 o’clock, when the merry-go-round had subsided, there remained a permanent, well graded roadway, leading from the end of Second street, by the front of the factory, around to the whey-tank and circling hack again to the main road. 'Die work started about i) o’clock with a plentiful supply of workers, too many bosses, a few merchants and one editor on hand. From time to time the 1 aggers were kept moving by the dynamite h asting of stumps, hut by noon the gang had com pleted the tearing down of the old lumber dock, which for years has been an eye-sore on the fac tory lot. With the toots of the noon whistles at the cheese factory and cannery, all hands quit and a race was started for the park, where the wives, children and lunches were in waiting. Through the courtesy of the Es tacada business men. coffee, sugar, cream and ice cream were served in abundance and the cheese factory donated a lib eral supply of its toothsome product. No attempt was made to hold any meeting or stage a program, for too much work needed atten tion, and as it was, the workers were u n a b l e to complete the cheese factory road and tackle the short stretch leading to the Estacada Cannery, which latter job should receive its share of donation work before long. The attendance was a repre sentative one, not only compris ing the contributors of milk to the cheese factory, hut including those many public spirited far mers, who never miss an opjxtr- tunity to do their part in all com munity work. An auto party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Sparks, Mr. and Mrs. O. C. S. Gerber and Mr. and Mrs. Harold W a s ter of Estacada and Mr. and Mrs. Noel Sarver of Currinsville, is leaving Friday for a week’s outing at the beach, near Pacif ic City. Kids Need A Good Licking The old saying about “ hoys will he boys” may he all right in some matters, hut the hoy or hoys who Tuesday night, scratch ed into a newly laid cement side walk in front of Mrs. Evans' place in Estacada. a lot of pro fane and filthy words, deserve a rtr**t class licking. It is had enough for some of the rowdies to chalk up the fenc es and buildings w i t h their swear words, hut when it comes to indelibly scratching them into a cement walk, where the in scription will he perpetuated as long as though carved in granite, it is time the city marshal or the boys’ parents took a hand in the matter.
