ESTACAOA .AND OREGON CITY
PLAY TIE GAME
Coach Rutherford Should Develop
Strong E. H. S. Team This Year
The opening- here of the 1917
football season Saturday a fte r­
noon was an agreeable surprise
to the rooters for the Estaeada
High School team, who afte r ex­
pecting the Oregon City eleven
to hand our unpractised and sub­
stantially green squad a bad lick­
ing. saw the game end' in a score
of 6 to 6, with honors even in all
departm ents.
Cleaner sportsm anship w a s
shown in this contest than in any
similar meeting between these
rival schools and the refereeing,
as handled by Jake Risley of Or­
egon City, form er U. of 0 center,
was fair and square.
Oregon City made the first
score seven minutes afte r the
kick-off and for a few minutes it
looked as though E. H. S. was to
have a big score rolled up against
it. Rut afte r the second kick­
off, the local boys gained confi­
dence and realized they were
ju st as strong as the county seat-
ers and tore into their plays ac­
cordingly.
Estaeada scored its six points
in the second half, following a
series of line plunges, with Jann-
sen, R. Drill and Sarver carrying
the ball.
Jannsen missed the
goal kick, as had the opposing
captain, leaving the score 6 to 6,
where it remained till the end
of the scrap.
Oregon City depended almost
entirely on the big shift form a­
tion, used by many colleges last
season, but afte r the first ten
minutes and especially during the
second half, the home gang had
little trouble breaking up the
play and landing the runner.
The visitors were deservedly pen­
alized several times for off-side
play, with Risley showing no
partiality.
Jannsen, Ray Drill and Sarver
were the stars of the home team,
but their positions behind the
line were such as to shine to best
advantage.
These back-fielders
all have nerve and being willing
to take punishment, will make
crack players before the season
is over.
With the exception of Frank
Somers, who played a fast game
at center, Jannsen and Sarver
are the only old players on the
team, but the new material is of

At a meeting of the Live Wires
of the Oregon City Commercial
Club held last week, a resolution
was adopted, asking the county
court to appropriate in the bud­
get a sum of $1,000. to be equit­
ably distributed among the fairs
of the county, including the so-
called “ Estaeada F air.”
The Wires fu rth er resolved to
turn put in force at the next an­
nual budget meeting in fu rth er­
ance of this resolution.
Givens Loses Suit Against Kerkes
In the case of W alter Givens
of Estaeada, seeking damages of
$25,000. from M. J. Kerkes of
Portland, for alleged slander,
the jury in Judge Campbell’s
eburt last Thursday returned a
verdict of not guilty.
With attorneys Dimick & Dim-
iek representing the defendant,
the trial took on the aspect of a
Cascade County fight, with th at
subject much m the lime light.
Givens was represented bv a t­
torneys E. W. Bartlett of Esta-
cada and George C. Brownell of
Oregon City.

Harold Horner, while at work
at the plant of the Horner-Mil-
lard Lumber Co. in Viola, last
Friday afternoon, was knocked
from a thirty foot platform to the
ground, sustaining serious in tern ­
al injuries and possibly a broken
arm.
Mr. Horner was building a
conveyor for the waste from the
mill and in felling a tree near the
platform was knocked to the
ground, where he was picked up
in an unconscious condition.
Until the swelling in his arm
and side had receded, Dr. Adix
was unable to ascertain w hether
the arm was broken, but expects
the internal injuries will not
prove very serious.
At last reports the patient was
restin g easily and hopes to be
about in a few weeks.

With the launching last week
of the Second Liberty Loan cam­
paign, the State of Oregon is
startin g its drive with even more
enegy than expended in the first
campaign, when the state more
than subscribed its quota.
, Despite the call made on the
governm ent by the newspapers
of the country for paid advertis­
ing for this campaign, not a cent
will be spent by the nation in the
advertising or sale of these pat­
riotic bonds. So the newspa­
pers, as formerly, will give free
advertising and do their utmost
in furtherance of the cause.
There is now offered to the
American people $3,000,000,000.
of bonds in this loan, which will
bear 4% interest, with valuable
tax exemptions and under cer­
tain conditions convertible into
other issues of U. S. bonds.
These bonds are being sold to
raise money for the purpose of
equipping with arms, clothing
andffood our gallant soldiers who
have been called to the field;
m aintaining our Navy, and our
valiant tars upon the high seas;
providing the necessary means
to pay the wages of our soldiers
and sailor's and, if the bill now
pending in the Congress passes,
the .monthly, allowances for the
support of their dependant fam­
ilies and to supply them with life
insurance; constructing a fleet of
m erchant vessels to maintain line
of communication with our brave
troops m France, and to keep
our commerce afloat upon the
high seas in defiance of the Ger­
man Kaiser and his submarines;
creating a great fleet of aero­
planes, which will give complete
supremacy in the air to the Uni­
ted States and the brave nations
fighting with us against the Ger­
man military menace; and for
other necessary war purposes,
tyis hoped th a t Eastern Clack­
amas people will continue to do
their share, as they have done
in the Red Cross drive, the War
Library drive and other calls for
financial aid.
Full particulars as to the de­
nominations of these lamds, pay­
m e n t etc. can be obtained from
the Estaeada State Bank.

supervisor will be abolished a fte r
January 1st next. To date, the
county court has not made an­
nouncement of its policy to la*
pursued in the appointment of
deputy road masters.
It is possible a deputy may be
named for each of the 5(5 dis­
tricts now in the county, but it is
likely the districts will be group­
ed, with about 20 deputies hand­
ling the work.
A s 'a ll road district changes
had to be made, according to law.
in September, the county court
last week attended to such alter­
ations as will be current during
1918.
Garfield district No. 10 was
the only one abolished, leaving
50 districts in the county. A
few others were subjected to
boundary changes and it is plan­
ned to create about 10 additional
districts, being the incorporated
cities in the county, which will
be supervised in the sume m an­
ner as the rural districts.
District No. 10 was divided be­
tween (George district No. 9 and
Upper Garfield 49 as follows;
“ Taken from No. lo and added
to 49.
That part of district No.
10 north oT the section line be­
tween Sections 14, 15, 10, 21. 22
and 23 to be added to No. 9, and
that part soul h of the section line
to be added to No. 49.
District No. 9 was altered with
the following described piece
added to Eagle Creek district N<>.
43.
“ Beginning at the section cor­
ners 3, 4, 9, and 10, thence north
three-quarters of a mile, thence
east one-quarter mile, thynce
south one-half mile, thence south
one-quarter mile, thence west
one-half mile to place of begin­
ning. X
The only other change in this
portion of the county was the
following, effecting Barton dis­
tricts Nos. 40 and 20
“ Taken from No. 40 and add­
ed to No.*20. Beginning ai the
quarter section corner Let we. ,i
sections 13 and 14, thence south
