Public
Auction !
By The
Estacada
Clearing House
Within thf* next thirtv Hays,
(the exact date to he announced
later.) a big public auction will
be held on Broadwav in Estacada,
under the supervision of the Es­
tacada Clearing House.
It is the intention at this time
to so arrange the affair that any­
one and everyone, wishing to sell
horses, cattle, hogs, wagons, im­
plements, household goods or any
other articles, may avail them­
selves of this opportunity.
The auctioning will be done by
one of the best auctioneers in
the northwest, whose charge for
services will prohably be based
on the customary 5% commission.
As the Estacada Clearing House
will list all articles for sale, stage
the auction, advertising it well
throughout the county and in
parts of Multnomah County and
generally conduct the business,
a similar commission will proba­
bly be charged by it, making a
total of 10% commission. This
amount should be satisfactory,
as the average auction staged by
private parties, combines an ex­
pense of about 10% for auction­
eering. advertising, serving din­
ner etc.
In order to make this a huge
success, the Clearing House asks
that all parties having livestock
or articles, which the owners
wish to sell at auction, notify the
management at once, so that a
comprehensive list may be ad­
vertised and one that will draw
buyers from distant parts of the
county.
In the case of milk cows, it is
necessary that a vetinarian’s cer­
tificate be obtained before the an­
imals can be sold at public auc­
tion, but unnecessary in the case
of other livestock.
* This auction will present an
opportunity for the sale and pur­
chase o f thousands of dollars
worth of articles, bringing to­
gether buyers and sellers of live­
stock from all parts of the county
and should result in the placing
in local circulation of a consider­
able sum of money, which in
many instances is now tied up in
useless investment.
Notify the Clearing House at
once as to what you will have for
sale, so that buyers may be inter­
ested by the advance advertising.
In the meantime, if you have
anything for sale through the
Clearing House, bring it in. We
last week sold several hundred
dollars worth of used articles and
have a strong call for more house­
hold goods, such as chairs, car­
pets, linoleums, mattresses, kit­
chen cupboards etc.
Upper Eagle Creek Notes
Contributed
The Upper Eagle Creek Red
Cross unit met with Mrs. Addie
Judd last Wednesday. About
fiiteen were present, the after­
noon being spent in the making
of hospital garments. Owing to
the distance that some of the
members have to walk to the
meetings, it was decided to di­
vide the unit, with those from
the Douglass district meeting at
a more central place. The ma­
jority favored the Harvey Gibson
house, under the hill, as the
meeting place. Mrs. R. B. Gib­
son was elected chairman.
Miss Veroo Beckett, who some
weeks ago underwent an opera­
tion for appendicitis and who has
been recuperating at the home
of her mother, received a request
last week from her employer,
asking that she resume her po­
sition as stenographer, resulting
in her return to Portland Thurs­
day.
Carl Douglass was an Oregon
City visitor one day last week.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Douglass
spent Saturday night with Lo­
gan relatives, then motored to
Oregon City Sunday, visiting Mr.
and Mrs. Dawson Fairchild, re­
turning home accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. Virgil May.
Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Woodle
were guests recently at the home
of their son, Claude Woodle of
Troutdale, returning home Sun­
day, accompanied by their daugh­
ter Nettie, who has been attend­
ing business college in Portland.
H. S. Gibson made a trip to*
Barton Saturday, to visit his a-
ged father, whom he found quite
well.
M. Dhulst made a business
trip to Boring on Sunday.
