CATTLE TO BE VACCINATED
Veterinarian From State Office
• To Work In This Community
Monday And Tuesday
A fter considerable long dis­
tance telephoning, the News this
week succeeded in getting in
communication with I)r. C. M.
Gardner of the Office of the State
Veterinarian and has arranged
for the early vaccination of cattle
in this district, against the dread.-
ed hemorrhagic septicemia, which
is now taking a deadly toll among
livestock in this state.
As Dr. Lytle, the State Veteri­
narian is away, one of his associ­
ates, either Dr. Gardner or Dr.
Osborn will handle the vaccina­
tion in this district.
The News office now has a list
of several hundred head of cattle,
which the owners wish to have
vaccinated and as the list com­
prises animals in all districts trib­
utary to Estacada, arrangem ents
ace being made to systematize
the work.
The veterinarian will arrive in
Estacada Monday morning, Aug­
ust 20th, and will work th at day
on the east side of the river,
spending Tuesday in Spring-
water, Dodge, Elwoad and Viola.
Mgr. Frank Ewing of the Agri­
cultural Dept, of the P.* R. L. &
P. Co. will accompany the doctor.
As a plentiful supply of the
vaccine has to be obtained from
the 0. A. C., the work here
could not be administered before
the days mentioned.
It has been uggested that in
order to facilitate the work, that
the animals be grouped in one,
two or three places in each dis­
trict* as for instance; in the Cur-
rinsville section, K. H. Currin
has offered the use of his barn
yard and pastures for the tr e a t­
ments, with the nearby cattle
brought there early Monday.
In the case of distant points,
the work will be done at the in­
dividual faims as far as possible
or where convenient, the animals
should be brought to some place
along the main roads.
The News now has a list of
animals from Eagle Creek, U p­
per Eagle Creek, Currinsville,
Lower Garfield.
Springwater,
Dodge and Elwood and any oth­
ers who may desire may benefit
from this free service by notify­

at one of the coast resorts and on
their return to Estacada will
make their home in the bunga­
low on the railway property
across from the Hotel Estacada.
the home having recently been
redecorated and furnished.
The marriage of Ted and Elva,
as they are called by their hosts
of friends here, is the culmina­
tion of a home courtship, which
for a time threatened to seriously
disrupt the local • telephone ser­
vice, where Miss Elva was for
several years in charge of the
central office.

Mrs. Mary Adams of Estacada
and is a graduate of the Estaca­
da High School.

originally from Oregon City, is

the younger business men.

Governor Withycombe. after
conferring with the State Game
Warden and several timbermen,
this week issued a proclamation
closing the 1917 deer season from
August 21st to September 1st,
providing there is no general
rainfall in the meantime.
“ By closing the season on the
21st, opportunity will be given
the hunters who have made prep;
arations to go on hunting expe­
ditions to have their hunt and
others can make their plans ac­
cordingly” , said the governor.
Declaring the fire hazard the
greatest in 15 years, State For­
ester Elliott, asked the governor
sometime ago to take this action.
Especially is such a course nec­
essary this year, to eliminate the
waste in money for fire fighting
and the loss of the timber and
furthermore, lal>or for fire fight­
ing is at a premium.
