LOCAL BREVI TI ES
AND NEWS I T E M S
Jim Park and Will Closner
have moved to Eugene where
they will operate a saw mill.
Mrs. Eloise Stensel of Portland
spent Sunday as the guest of
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Sparks.
The Rev. H. Spies held quar­
terly conterence in Rock wood,
Sunday for Dr. Ford of Oregon
City.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Robley, ac­
companied by Miss Elna Hogaard
returned to this city Sunday
evening, after a delightful auto
trip which included Tacoma and
Seattle.
Mrs. M. H. Evans received a
cablegram Sunday, announcing
the safe arrival in England of
her son, M. D. Evans, The voy­
age must have been a slow one,
for he sailed on the seventeenth
of August.
In a letter from 0. 0. Bland of
Meridian, Idaho, renewing his
subscription to the News, he
writes: “ We are still farming
in Idaho. Crops are good, my
wheat made fifty-two bushels to
the acre, and the corn is also
good. We like farming in Idaho,
because this volcanic ash mixed
with snow water brings forth the
growth of vegetation. But I often
long for the people and the cli­
mate of East Clackamas.”
It is all right for boys to work
off their superfluous energies in
romping and scuffling, but care
should be taken. Lester Under­
wood was shoved off the high
platform at the depot Saturday
and fell and broke his left wrist.
Dr. Adix reduced the fracture.
The little fellow is carrying his
arm in a sling and bears his mis
fortune bravely.
Young Master Albert Belfis has
returned home from a visit to
the metropolis.
This was no
ordinary visit, but one which will
stand out in his memory all his
life, because it was the occasion
of his attending a circus for the
first time. He probably will see
many more of them in the suc­
ceeding years, but none will ever
have quite the same effect, as the
first one. The writer vividly re­
calls the first circus he ever saw,
altho this occurred almost if not
quite fifty years ago. Since then,
he has seen larger and more ela­
borate performances but none
has given him more genuine
pleasure than the first one. The
circus of the present day has
extended its scope but in its
main features it has not varied
from thoseof half a century back.
EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS
John Dunseath of the News
force, made a business trip to
Chehalis, Wash., on Saturday.
Mrs. L. Under wood and son
Lester left Tuesday morning for
Underwood, Wash., to be gone
about six weeks.
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Mills are
moving from their ranch into

Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Morgan of
Sellwood. visited the editor and
his wife on Sunday. They are
old friends having known each
other over twenty years ago in
Minnesota. Mr. Morgan is pro­
prietor of the Morgan Drygood
Store in Sellwood.
On Friday Estacada woke to
find the atmosphere heavy with
smoke. This was caused by fires
in the vicinity of Sandy and Pikes
Peak. At the latter place the
fire extended over an area of a
hundred acres and a call for help
was sent here for ten men.
A diversion was caused on
Broadway Friday, by the removal
of the safe from the Estacada
State Bank.
The plate glass
front had to be removed and the
safe taken out through the open­
ing. John Page with a corps of
volunteers removed the window
and replaced it, afterwards, while
the C. M. Olsen Transfer Com­
pany of Portland, attended to the
rest of the work.
It was an
arduous job and taxed the en­
ergies of the men engaged. A
runway was laid from the win­
dow sill and the safe hauled up
along this into the van, which
was backed up against the win­
dow. The recent installation of
the quadruple manganese steel
safe of the latest pattern, rend­
ered the use of the old safe no
longer necessary, so it was sold
to a Portland firm.
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Givens
and their two sons returned Wed­
nesday of last week from a short
vacation spent at Wasco and Kent
in Sherman Co. At the former
place they visited with Rev. Drill
who at one time, was pastor ofr
the Christian Church here. They
report an enjoyable trip, but the
roads were dusty, and they had
to ship their car on the way home,
from Hood River to Cascade
Locks, on account of a landslide
on the Columbia highway, which
delayed them. Mr. Givens states
that the harvest was in full blast,
with the prevalent shortage of
help. The yield was about tw’enty-
two bushels to the acre, but the
grain owing to thesummer rains,
almost unprecedented in that
section, was bleached to a cer­
tain extent, which will reduce its
market value a few cents per
bushel.
