Removed to Portland
Estacada has lost this week,
two families who have been
prominent in social and business
circles. Mr. and Mrs. E. C.
Morgan and Mr. and Mrs. R. M.
Standish and their children.
The former have been in charge
of the Estacada for nearly two
years, where they have been
very popular with the traveling
public as well as with our local
people. Their removal is due to
the new train schedule which
prevents Mr. Morgan and Miss
Gladys from attending their
offices in Portland and returning
here as formerly. They will be
greatly missed and the N ews ex­
tends to them and Mrs. Morgan
and her mother Mrs. Overton,
the best wishes of the commun­
ity, who will always welcome
their return. Their new address
is 636 E. Broadway.
Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Standish
have been in Estacada and vicin­
ity for a number of years, first
on a ranch in Garfield, and later
in town, when Mr. Standish be­
came publisher and editor of the
News or Progress, as it was then
styled. He showed marked abil­
ity in developing the paper be­
sides being a live wire in other
respects. He did his level best
to put Estacada on the map, and
was a principal factor in the am­
bitious attempt to make it the
county seat of the proposed Cas­
cade county. In this he was
ahead of time, the division of the
county may come some day, when
the eastern portion is more settled
up than at present, but not yet.
Mrs. Standish has been promin­
ent in social and civic improve­
ment doings, and her departure
will make a gap in these circles,
which will not be easily filled.
We must not fail to mention two
very important members of that
family, namely Peggy with her
smiling face and John Hubbard
who like Barrie’s well known
character sentimental Tommy,
has a way with him, which is ir­
resistible. \Ve hope that they
will like their present abode in
Rose City Park, and that they
will return frequently to visit
their Estacada friends.
Everything is in readiness for
the opening of the Oregon Re­
construction Convention in Port­
land on January 9th, when dele­
gates from every part of the
state, representing every indus­
try, city and county will gather
for a three day session to work
out a definite program for the
handling of the state’s industrial
readjustment.
That the return of nearly
40,000 men, who have served in
the military services of the nation,
into the industrial life, means a
tremendous readjustment is re­
cognized on every hand. In
addition, the state of Oregon
must prepare ta employ thousands
of men who for more than a year
have served in war and other in-
dustries of the state, which
through the conclusion of hostil­
ities may soon be thrown out of
work.
