I f a nice, prosperous appear­
ing man calls at your office these
days or drapes himself over your
farm «ate, handing out smiles,
«lad-hands, compliments a n d
sometimes cigars—
I f said man tells you about
what a tine business or farm you
nave; what bright children you
are rearing; how intelligent and
prosperous you look and what
lovely weather we are having—
Also if he tells you that he
wept for days a fter the defeat o f
the Cascade County movement;
that his heart bled for the poor
oppressed taxpayers o f Eastern
Clackamas County—
That he personally is an enemy
o f such and such an old time pol­
itical enemy o f the proposed Cas­
cade County; that he was born
and raised on a farm in Clacka­
mas County and apologizes for
having to make his home at Ore­
gon City, only wishing he could
live in Eastern Clackamas—
LOOK O U T - fo r it is possible
that man is a politician and look­
ing for your vote and a county
job, as the bi-annual crop o f these
gentlemen is now m i g r a t i n g
through this section, handing out
their photographed cards.
They are all good fellows and
we like 'em. but we don't always
believe everything they say.
There is one promising aspect
o f the coming primaries and that
is the entry into the race for o f­
fices o f a number o f young men,
men who are not and never have
been office seekers, but who have
made enviable records for them­
selves in other lines o f endeavor.
Whether these men will make
as good officers as some o f the
more experienced deputies, who
are now sign ifyin g their w illing­
ness to accept their bosses jobs,
remains to be seen.
In looking over the Delinquent
Tax Inst for this county, now be­
ing advertised in the county seat
papers, it is noted that but a very
small proportion o f the delin­
quent taxes in this part o f the
county is on farm lands, the ma­
jority being Estacada city lots,
w ith the majority o f those being
ow ned by non-residents.
There will be four new stars
added to the school service flag,
as four more f »rmer members o f
the E. H. S. student Body have
joined the colors, being: Robert
Morton, Harry Sherman, Joseph
Demoy and Adolph Still.
