EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS ni ! \ Y Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 11, N umber 37 HOME DISTRICTS OVER TOP Second Red Cross Drive Gets Strong Local Support The exact amounts contributed by the several school districts of this part of the county towards the Second Red Cross War Fund, during last week’s drive, may never be known, nevertheless all contributions went to the Red Cross, whether credit is given the individuals and their respective districts or not. All canvassing committees agree that soliciting for this drive was much easier than the work in former drives, for the people met them more than half way and do nated on a more generous scale than earlier in the war, indicating that all are awakening to a reali zation of their responsibilities. The following list shows the amounts donated by the home dis tricts and indicates a creditable exceeding of their quotas. The exact amounts cannot be given, as several hundred dollars are not included, which represent the do nation of the wages of many clerks and judges at the past pri mary election, these wages having been assigned over to the Red Cross, through several Oregon City channels. The list furthermore is based upon the returns up to Wednes day, with more contributions com ing each day. One feature of the drive was the donation of $39.90 by the Garfield Hand, being the proceeds from the entertainment.

P. (). E. was held in Ksturndn Park on Sunday. About fifteen hundred people spent the day in and about the grounds, making the trip to Estacada by train and autos. This is the first big picnic held in tin* local park since booze days and judging from the orderliness of tin* crowds and the apparent good time had by all, the tradi tional suit case with its burden of bottles is no longer necessary to a successful day’s festivities. The B. P. (>. E. had planned an elaborate program and plenty of forms of entertainment, with “ Elk scrip” used in the purchase of everything on the grounds, in cluding the roulette and paddle wheel ‘hances, dancing, pop, candy, cigars and ice cream. Many hundreds of the people from this community also joined in the fun, with the youngsters remaining on the grounds after the Portland crowd had left, where they helped deplete the surplus supplies of ice cream and gathered up thousands of dollars worth of the then worthless scrip. On Saturday afternoon the band of Elk from the Portland Gitv Park was brought to tin* Estaea- da stock yards by special train, where they remained on exhibit until Tuesday morning. These : iiimals were in charge of Oov- rnment Packer Dec Wright of Wapinitia and his helpers, who hail previously broken the animals to halters and lead ropes. On Tuesday the actual li lie ra tion of the animals begun, with Forester Wallace ami crew of lo cal boys acting as escorts. The elk were taken from the Estacada yards through Garfield to tin* vi cinity of the Duncan place at the top of tin* North Fork Hill, from where the trip into the mountains was begun. Several moving picture outfits were on hand both Sunday and Tuesday taking views of the ani mals and their mounted escorts, among tin* photographers being State Biologist Win. 1». Finley and the Pathe representative.
