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. The laculty for
the coming year is as follows:

EAST CLACKAMAS COUNTY FAIR NOW UNDERWAY
Dedication Of New Building And
Reception To Teachers
Friday, Sept. 21st

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.
Division H., comprising the
W om en’s Dept, is also housed in
an attractive booth, containing
