What Have You To Sell AT Public Auction? The exact date of the big pub lic auction to be held in Estacada, under the auspices of the Estaca da Clearing House, will be an nounced next week, probably oc- curing on Saturday, March 2nd or the Saturday following. Colonel W. S. Wood of Vancou ver, o f state-wide reputation as an auctioneer, has agreed to con duct the sale, but wants to know exactly the date set. The Clearing House can not set this date until the public furnish es us a list of the livestock or ar ticles which they wish to sell. A list o f thousands of articles is wanted, so that the advance ad vertising throughout the county will attract buyers from all dis tricts. We already have listed horses, cows, pigs, wagons and many household and farm articles—but we want ten times as much more. TELEPHONE, W R I T E or CALL at the Clearing House and tell us what you will have to sell at this public auction. DO IT RIGH T N O W , for it cant be delayed! Colonel Wood writes— “ You get the crowd and the goods and I'll do the rest." And if he con ducts it as he did the C. M. Da vis auction in Springwater last Spring,—we believe him. He al so says— “ Get some of the ladies organizations to serve a cafeteria lunch, as they can make some easy money. I’ ll donate 5% of my profits on the day, to the la dies, the Red Cross or any char ity .” Parties now having goods for sale at the Clearing House are asked to advise us if they are wiling that same be sold at auc tion, if not sold sooner. The display in the Clearing House now comprises some of the best bargains in implements, stoves, ranges, carpets, separa tors, furniture, etc. ever seen in this community, with John Page, the new manager, keeping the store open during regular busi ness hours. We want more articles for sale and want you to examine our bargains before purchasing new wares. Estacada Clearing House R. M. Standish - Proprietor E. H. S. Echoes Contributed by Estacada High School Ladies A basket ball game between E. H. S. and Springwater was played Wednesday night. It was an exciting game and even if E. H. S. did not win, they made Springwater hustle around pretty fast. Albert Lich- thorn made himself famous by shooting a large number o f bas kets. Saturday evening, February 2nd, E. H. S. was going to play a game of basket ball with San^y high school, but owing to the ab sence of several members of the latter team, were unable to play; so Estacada played with the San dy town team. Most of the Sandy fellows were strong, stal wart men, thus rendering it im possible for E. H. S. to win. The score was 16 to 30. The E. H. S. girls’ basket ball team also went to Sandy with the intention of playing with the Sandy high school girls, but for some unknown reason Sandy re- fused to play. The m i d - t e r m examinations were held Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last week. All those getting an average o f 95% in deportment and 90% in their studies were denied the privilege of taking them. Many of the Freshmen and Sophomores could be seen going to class with brave expressions on their faces, but rather weak “ kneed” . However, the majority passed the examin ations with honor as they were not very hard. Try This On Your Cook Stove!

Morris Cahill of Eagle Creek, now stationed at Ft. Seward, Alaska with Company A of the 14th Infantry, acknowledges re ceipt of the “ home paper” and tells about how welcome it is; sends regards to all friends, and reports the climate there varying in a few hours from 40 degrees above to 15 degrees below zero. But he admits life at an army fort is monotonous and only wish es he could be transferred “ across the pond.” Will Palm&teer of Morgan, Oregon, after a visit among rel atives and friends in this com munity for the past sixty days, left for home Saturday. cA t e n t 1 r IP O n We are fast assembling the most complete line of DRY GOODS And Notions ever carried in this community.
