A fter the driver of the seven
ton Standard Oil motortruck and
tlie driver of a local lumber truck
had called at the News office and
vehemently cussed the condition
of the Estacada bridge, crossing
the Clackamas River, the editor
last Saturday took it upon him­
self to notify County Judge An­
derson personally of the danger­
ous condition of that structure.
As to who should have attend­
ed to that matter, before the
bridge had gotten into that dan­
gerous condition, is still a ques­
tion; but as the News office is the
headquarters for all community
complaints and a few bouquets,
il felt justified in spending 25c
for a phone call to the .Judge.
As a result by Sunday noon the
dangerous spots in the bridge
were patched with three inch
planking, which temporarily will
accomodate the traffic.
During the general discussion
of this matter, the majority of
well informed men claim that the
decking on that bridge should be
of four inch planking, instead of
two inch and should be securely
laid lengthwise of the bridge, in­
stead of crosswise.
Other bridges in the county are
being planked lengthwise and
with the heavy teaming, auto and
motor truck traffic now centering
in Estacada, this bridge should
be permanently repaired in tin*
same manner.
The county court is to In* com­
plimented on the immediate res-
ponee which this phone message
brought forth, for no red tape or
other formalities were allowed to
interfere with the rushing of
temporary repairs for the struc­
ture.
I. A. Marchbank of Hoot I River
is now in Estacada. having lately
s »Id the remains of his confec­

ter concluding tin* «leal with Mr.
Havens and lie lore turning over
tin* business to him, Mr. March-
bank's store was destroyed by
tire, with luckily sufficient insur­
ance in force to cover the loss.
In the grove adjoining the
family home in Viola on Sunday
last, occured an enjoyable com­
bination family reunion and sur­
prise party, with Mr. and Mrs.
l hos. Kaden as the hosts. There
were twenty-tight relatives and
friends present and a pleasant
day w as spent by all.

reaching the building adjoining

As Mr. Peterson's Dodge car

there was some excitement be­

it. with Rev. Weld, the first
upon the scene, proving a hero.
