Popular Leader Of Estacada Christian Church Accepts Call To Coberg. $1.50 P er Y ear E0IT0R A CANDIDATE Gordon J. Taylor Of Molalla In Race For Legislature From This County While you can’t believe every thing you see in a newspaper - (just one exception to this rule) the published political dope from the county seat papers announces the candidacy of several new aspirants to legislative honors from this county. Among them is mentioned Gor don J. Taylor, editor of the Mo ialla Pioneer, who is credited with aspiring to a seat in the legisla ture and willing to warm the one, which dm it g the last session w as figgeted on by Dr. Dedman of Can by. The doctor is also said to be seeking re-election but has local rivalry in the person of mayor Bair of that village. Our friend George C. is plan ning to supplant Walter Dimick as our State Senator (and we’re perfectly willing). H. C. Ste phens of Estacada is reported in the same papers as considering re-election, but we happen to know this is too premature an aii nouncement. King Wilson, Oswego’s loud voiced mayor, is also among the will-runs, but on the Democratic ticket. Aspirants for county offices are being announced each day, with deputies in many offices willing to take the boss’s job next term. One or two women are seeking office, including Treasurer Dunn’s daughter. Har vey Starkweather and Thus. F. Ryan are candidates for Governor and State Treasurer and Adam Knight is out again for the office of commissioner. But come to think of it, we don’t favor Canby being represented there another term, for it is time an Eastern Clackamas County taxpayer becomes a member of the County Court. Y. W. C. A. Drive Now On Clackamas County is scheduled to raise $900. as its share towards the Y. W. C. A. war fund and H. C. Stephens of Estacada has been appointed chairman of the work in this part of the county. The Y. W. C. A. activities con sist largely of the maintenance of the Hostess Houses in the camps, and other work which can only be conducted by the women. Emery C. Dye of Oregon City is the county chairman for the drive, which continues from Feb- i ua-y 6th to 9th, inclusive. I j o - cal donations should lie made to Mr. Stephens.
