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. This same district,
No. 12, also profited by the sale of
two pictures which were donated
by one of their citizens; the first
picture having brought $5 at a
raffle at the band entertainment
and the second having realized
$27.50 at a raffle held at the Elk’s
picnic in Estacada on Sunday,
when Hob Duncan, former Gar
field boy and a member of the
H. P. O. E. committee, took charge
of the affair.
The districts, captains, quota
and amount raised for each dis
trict, is as follows:
Garfield 68, Mrs. Ella Tracy,
$52; $66.60.
Garfield 12, Miss Helen Woost
er, $92; $121.90.
Estacada 108, R. M. Standish,

Under ideal weather conditions,
the annual picnic of the Portland
B. 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.
