Eastern Clackamas News Entered at the postoffice in Estacada, Oregon, as second-class mail. Published every Thursday at Estacada, Oregon K. M. Standish, Editor and Manager S ubscription K atkh One year - $1.50 Six months - - - .75 Thursday, Aug. 1, 1918 The mayor and councilmen of the City of Estacada insist that their side of the "Picture Show License Controversy" be given publicity, as they do not welcome the condemnation of the general public and being accused of forc ing local amusement enterprises out of business. Mayor Bartlett wishes to in form the public that the $‘20. per year license asked of the moving picture shows is in accordance with the ordinances in the city’s charter. He also explains that this li cense is not an exorbitant one, figuring about 19-^ c per per formance, where two shows per week are given. In other words, this license amounts to about the price of one adult admission ticket. An official bulletin, just issued by our government, states that the individual soldier’s chances areas follows, based on mortality statistics of the allied armies: Twenty-nine chances of com ing home to one of being killed. Forty-nine chances of recover ing from wounds to one chance of dying from them. Only one chance in 500 of los ing a limb. Will live five years longer be cause of physical training. This official information will be a great comfort to anxious par ents. The News this week hated to have to chronicle the closing of a home industry, «uch as the sus pension of operations of the plant of the Estacada Co-opera tive Cheese Association. The actual loss to the commun ity of the dollars and cents is not the important issue, for our dairy products will still bring returns, with the nearby creameries prof iting. Hut it is the idea of having to admit that this community can not truly co-operate and stand together in the upbuilding of u home industry. This suspension of a home in terprise will l>e welcome news to some of the rival dairy products industries, yet we fear the wel come that will l>e extended some of the returning dairymen by these creameries, will not be an overly cordial one. Then again, we hate to have to listen to the*'I Told You So” peo ple, who in the majority of cases preferred to stand by and watch the home industry decline, in stead of joining forces with the loyal patrons and making a suc cess of the institution. Yet, this failure of a co-opera tive organization is not an un heard of tiling, for rural co-op erative enterprises too often end in bankruptcy; but the remains of the industry are usually later purchased by private interests, reorganized, refinanced and by administering strictly business practices, are made a permanent and profit paying success. 1 JUST RECEIVED A NEW SHIPM ENT OF TH E FAM OUS Palace Car Coffee Packed in Self Sealing jars.

HOLSUM BREAD The raising of Belgian hares for meat consumption is getting to be an industry in Estacada, with Victor Adix, Vernon Woods and a number of the other boys now the owners of fastly multi plying droves, flocks, herds (or whatever a bunch of rabbits is called.) A knowledge of mathe matics is necessary in this busi ness to figure out the number of offspring, as the animals are credited with reproduction at a rate of 56 per year. The Currinsville school board has lately engaged Mrs. M. B. Signs, wife of the principal of the Estacada schools, to conduct that rural school during the com ing season. Walter Givens of Estacada un derwent a minor operation last Saturday afternoon, a t t h e Schrepel sanitarium, having had his tonsils and a portion of his palate removed. As Mr. Givens’ health had been seriously im paired for some months owing to throat trouble, it is expected this operation will prove a beneficial one. Mr. and Mrs. Upton Gibbs of La Grande are expected to arrive in Estacada about August 5th or 6th, where they will make their home. Mr. Gibbs recently pur chased the Eastern Ciackamas News and will assume the man agement of the publication about September 1st. 0. M. Opstad of Buhl, Idaho, formerly cheesemaker at Estaca da, last week wrote the News asking for a dollar’s worth of subscription and inquiring as to the condition of the Estacada Co operative Cheese Assn. Mr. Op stad reports the cheese business there as a flourishing one and sends regards to friends here. Milton Evans of Estacada. w ho is a member of the 15th Service Company of the U. S. Signal Corps, early in the week advised his mother here, that he was temporarily l o c a t e d at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, but ex a c te d within a few days to be transferred to some farther east ern point.
