QUALITY OF EXHIBITS BETTER Gev. Withycombe, Sen. Fulton, G. J. Taylor, Prof. Dubach and Mrs. Alexander Thompson on Program W hile the proverbial girl and boy are supposed to be dreading the opening day o f school, when vacation ends and hard work, crank teachers and strict deport ment begin— the majority o f the boys and girls who will attend the Estacada Schools this year are looking ahead to Monday, Sept. 17th, when the first semes ter o f the 1917-18 year starts. This anticipation is especially present on the part o f the older students, who will this year be located in the new high school building. A full crew o f workmen has labored every day and even Sun day in putting the finishing touches on the new building and the work is now com peted, in cluding the installation o f several hundred feet o f green bla.k- boards. Even Principal Wilson and Janitor Eschelman were forced to break the Sabbath dur ing the rush in assembling the new desks and gettin g them se curely fastened into pla- e. The full c rps o f teachers is now in Estacada, where the new instructors have been the objects o f close inspection on the part o f more than one yi.ung t.r, w ho w ants to see what the new teach er looks like.

EAST CLACKAMAS COUNTY FAIR NOW UNDERWAY Dedication Of New Building And Reception To Teachers Friday, Sept. 21st Concluded on back O regon , | With the m ajority o f exhibits in readiness, the Fourth Annual East Clackamas County Fair opened on the Estacada School grounds Wednesday morning, and is now under lull headway, with good crowds in attendance. While the total quantity o f e x hibits is slightly lighter than last year, this difference is more than offset by the quality o f the pro ducts displayed. The livestock exhibits show greatest improvement, with the form er grades and non-registered animals replaced with registered stock in nearly every department and the hogs exhibited by the Boys’ P ig Club members surpass anything in that line ever seen here, with the poultry exhibit maintaining equally high stand ards. The attendance on opening day was, as usual, light and limited to less than 200, but crowds are in evidence today and more are expected on Friday. The tractor demonstrations each morning have been an at traction and the farmers and others who have followed the demonstrations o f plowing done by the Staude-Mak-A-Tractor are being convinced o f the efficiency and economy o f this device for replacing horse power. Despite the dryness o f the soil, the ma chine plowed a double furrough, o f an average depth o f seven in ches, maintaining a speed o f about 3 miles per hour. The main exhibition hall this year is more systematically ar ranged than form erly, with all exhibits on the walls or on shelves, with plenty o f space for the visitors and especially com fortable facilities for speakers and audience. Several attractive s p e c i a l booths and exhibits are installed this year, including the banner and flag draped booth o f the Estacada Schools, where regis tration o f students is underway. Another important registration booth is in charge o f the Council o f 'W o m en ’s Defense League, where all women o f this com munity are urged to register. The C. I. C. lunch booth is a convenience, and being well pa tronized and a patriotically de corated booth has been construct ed near the entrance where the Canning and Drying Demonstra tions are being staged.
