ESTACADA DEFEATS GRESHAM
13 TO 2
Cooperation O f Parents .U rg e d
In Efficiency Campaign
For Students
When the crack football team
o f the Estacada High School
stays in its own class, contend­
ing against teams from high
schools of its own size or slightly
larger, it is a consistent winner,
as was demonstrated in last Sat­
urday’s game in Estacada, when
the much heralded Gresham elev­
en was defeated by a score of 13
to 2
The Gresham team and its sup­
porters came in a special car,
with many making the trip by
auto, but their opportunities for
rooting were few and far be­
tween and excepting for a ltlcky
touch-back, obtained by downing
Storrner behind the lines on a
kick-off, they hardly knew their
team was in the game.
As usual, the men behind the
line, Drill, Jannsen, Sarver and
Storrner had the opportunities
foi ata” play, but Heiple in his
position in the line broke into
the game with both feet and
hands, executing a fine catch of
a long forward pass and repeat­
edly breaking the Gresham line
and tackling the runner.
The same good rooting and con­
sistent school spirit was present
from the E. H, S. student body
and friends and much of the sea­
son’s success to date is attribut­
able to this encouragement.
While athletics piay an impor­
tant part in the education and
activities of the local schools,
Principal Wilson is aiso a firm
believer in efficiency systems, as
applied to education and is at­
tempting to obtain the full coop­
eration of the parents.
The following circular letter
has been sent to the parents of
all pupils, along with a card to
be filled out. ib e card contains
questions vital to the pupil’s
work, such as age, birth place,
condition of health generally,
condition of teeth, phans, if any,
for the child’s future and similar
necessary data:—
“ Dear Parent*:—
We are anxious to render the beat
service possible for your children and
we believe that this can be done by the
home and school working together.
We, therefore, earnestly solicit your
hearty cooperation in all matters. A
good word from you boosting our school
means much.

Aged Eagle Creek Resident Passes
In Estacada, on Saturday, Oct­
ober 20th, W. G. Baker, a well
known resident of Eagle Creek
passed away at the age of 72
years, 3 months and 6 days.
The death of Mr. Baker was
not unexpected, as he had been
in failing health for sometime
and was undergoing treatments
in Estacada at the time of his
death.
Washington Banford Baker
was born July 14. 1845 at Bakers-
vilie. Pa. and was married Sept.
30, 1869 in Lynn County, Iowa
to Miss Julia Hunter, who died
in Oregon, March 1901.
Mr. Baker came to Oregon in
February 1878 and had resided
at Eagle Creek for many years.
The deceased is survived by
three sons, Henry S., of Lents,
Oregon and Louis and Alexander
o f Eagle Creek.
Funeral services were conduct­
ed by Rev. Weld of the Spring-
water Presbyterian Church at
the Eagle Creek Church, with
interment taking place in the
Gibson Cemetery near Dover, be­
ing in charge of undertaker
Chapman of Estacada.
Lim e $6.50 F . 0 . B. Here
We are reliably informed that
lime for use in offsetting soil acid­
ity, can be obtained here at a
price of $6.50 per ton, according
to R. J. Werner, County Agri­
culturalist, who last week and
this week was an Estacada visi­
tor.
Lime is now being sold in small
quantities in various sections at
a price of $12 to $15 per ton, but
if Mr. Werner can furnish this
necessary commodity at a $6.50
price, it should prove a boon to
the local farmers.
child will you kindly furnish same? If
something needs adjusting will you qui­
etly bring 4he matter to our attention
so that we may remove the friction
and secure the greatest possible effi­
ciency.
We desire that our children be hap­
py, healthy, and regular in attendance.
Even a fraction of a days absence may
prove a serious handicap for that sem­
ester. We are inclined to believe that
much care should be given the growing
child’ s health. Nutritious food and
proper clothing are essentials.
As we enter into this partnership
for the best interests of your child
may we also do as well by every child •
in the community. We hope that the
true spirit of American democracy may
be fostered in our school.
We extend to you a cordial invita-
tioo to visit classes and attend school
functions.
Sincerely,
T. E. Wilson, Principle.’ ’

Probably the greatest harm

have been effective for the past
year or two ami which apply di­
rectly to many rural students
now attending the Estacada and
other schools daily from distant
