Hut such publicity on the part of the News would not have been possible, had it not been for the strong sentiment in this com munity in favor of the Red Cross work and the tine, unsolicited response that was made in sup- |K>rt of this Christmas Member ship drive.

(ientleraen:- Judging from the clipping I have aeen it look» to me a» though Eastern Clackam as New» ha» made the record in displaying the Red Cro»» Member ship illustration». 1 do not recall hav ing noticed so many of the engraved cuts in any other newspaper in the State. You have had a lot of live new» and editorials anil the whole display reflects great credit upon the co-operation you have given u». All this constitutes a tremendous contribution to the success of the Red Cross Drive. On behalf of State Headquarters l beg to extend this acknowledgement of yoor patriotic co-operation. Yours sery truly, C. C. Chapman Slate Chairman. TH E AM ERICAN RED CROSS Oregon Campaign Portland Oregon, January 3, 1918. Eastern Clackamas News, Estacada, Ore. (icntlemen: it is with a considerable amount of enthusiasm that lam writing you today to express the appreciation of the Membership Committee of the Ameri can Red Cross, for your patriotic ser vices m the line of publicity in the re cent membership drive. The Eastern Clackamas News was a very potent factor in the campaign in Clackamas County, out of a number of newspapers, and 1 believe every one devoted more or less space to the Red Cross campaign. The amount of space donated by the Eastern Clackamas News was really worthy of exceptional mention and 1 wish there was some way I could secure national recognition from the American Red Cross. It is really more pleasing to learn from the newspaper clippings of your activity, and while we are all sorry that Clacka mas CouNty did not quite make its quota, yet we are certain that could the newspa{>ers have had anything to say Clackamas County wouki have gone wav over the 10111 mark. Will you please accept this as a brief word of appreciation on behalf of the American Red Cross Very faithfully yours. Orton E. Goodwin Malinger Press Bureau. In the advertisement o f L. A. Chapman in this issue, a new angle in “ H o o v e r i z i n g ” is touched upon and one which should receive the support o f the local people. This question of delivery of merchandise is an important and expensive one in this community —and by the way, few trading centers can boast o f as large a proportion of mercantile estab lishments, maintaining delivery cars, as Estacada. Stop and consider the waste fullness on the part of the buyer, who thoughtlessly orders a loaf of bread and possibly a few other minor articles, on which the sel ler makes but a few cents profit, and requests the merchant to deliver same. Let’s try to follow up Mr. Chapman’s idea and “ carry our packages” , excepting in cases where the purchases are too bulky and heavy. The final awarding last week by the Public Service Commis sion, to the Portland Railway Light & Power Company of the right to increase its fare to a fi cent rate, is a just and equitable move. With the P. R. L. & P. Co. having met all wage advances to employees, as well as being forc ed to stand all other increased expenses, incident to the present war standard, that corporation was entitled to increase the cost of its wares, the same as any manufacturer of other commodi ties. Whether an increased rate will he made on the interur han lines, has not been announced yet, hut a matter of 10 uo or even 20'V» between Estacada and Portland, would still leave the rate below the 3 cent per mile fare current o^ most lines. A. A. Scott o f Estacada has asked that a correction he made to an article which appeared in these columns last week, where by the impression was given that Wm. Stubbe, in his recent suit against Mr. Scott, h a d been awarded tne judgement. In real ity, Mr. Scott, had been given a judgement for $50. and costs and Mr. Stubbe s case in the circuit court is to offset same. Coon Boyer of Garfield, w ho is working for the Garfield Lumber Company, slipped an axe a few inches into his shin bone, while barking a log, the day a f t e r Christmas. Coon is still limping, but hopes to be back at work this week. Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Krig- baum and family o f Garfield last week moved to Estacada. having rented the Fleming house at the corner of 5th and Broadway. #< HELP IS TO HOOVER1ZE B Y C A R R Y IN G Y O U R S M A L L P A C K A G E S < t > ÍI 1 ! The cost o f delivery is as much on a sm ill package as on a larger order and this cost often amounts to more than the margin of profit derived from a small 3ale. We will maintain a delivery system for the accomodation o f our customers and are more than willing to deliver any order that is too large to carry, hut in the spirit o f conservation we ask you to join us in carrying out the wishes of our government. We are a member o f the Government Food Conservation League and as such have pledged ourself to sell our goods at as small a profit as is possible. Everything in Groceries at Prices that are Right.

Charles Duncan has been unfortunate, losing three animals so far this season, with Mr. Nixon losing a valuable team and Milton Mattoon suffering the loss o f two horses. Many other animals are still ill, both in Garfield and Springwater. In fact the epidemic seems to be general throughout this section. Currinsville. Mr. and Mrs. R. C.
