SCHOOL NEWS
Now is the time to decide
whether or not we shall have a
summer school in Estacada. The
funds have been appropriated,
the tuition is free to residents of
the district, and only a nominal
tuition will be charged outside
pupils. Children, pupils of high
school grade, or adults may en
roll.
Opportunities for wor k in
Agriculture, Home Economics.
Commercial, Shop work, or re
view work for school credits will
be given if desired. The whole
scheme rests upon the demand
for the work, and the plan is to
serve local people of this and
surrounding districts.
In addition to class work there
will be lectures by members of
the University and 0. A. C.
faculties and others.
Now if you think you will be
interested till out the enrollment
blank below and mail or send
otherwise to M. B. Signs, Prin
cipal of the Estacada school at
once.
There should be at least twenty
adults and as many young people
to make the school a success and
if we do not get that many the
idea may be abandoned.
M. B. Signs,
Principal of Schools,
Estacada, Ore.
Dear Sir: I am interested in
the Summer School and would
like to enroll for the six weeks

EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS
sniping my men, of whom I lost
a few. The Germans had crawled
to an old house and establishec a
position and were using crossfire
to cut off our communications
with the main company. There
was a German patrol party of
about seventy men cutting the
wire with the intention of attack
ing a small advanced post of ours.
I left my post to go and silence
the snipers’ position which I did
but was unfortunately captured
in doing so. But as it was a mis
take on the German’s part in
taking me for a Britisher, they
asked me the pass word, which I
gave right away, viz: “Ja wohl.”
I was released and returned to
the German front line, in one of
the field grey unter-oberst uni
forms. I was recommended by
Hindenberg for the Iron cross,
second class, and put in charge
of a company of signallers for
this. They were going to launch
TRAINS LEAVE ESTACADA
an attack on a very large scale,
FOR PORTLAND:
of which I was able to notify the
British of their intentions to try
6:55 a. m., 8:52 a. m., 12:52 p. m., 4:52 p. m.,
and annihilate and break through
and 6:30 p. m.
the lines. A British flying
squadrom was coming towards
the German position, so I signall
TRAINS LEAVE PORTLAND
ed with my lamp to notify the
British of the intended attack.
FOR ESTACADA:
They signalled the British artill
ery to open up a barrage and they
5:15 a. m., 10:45 a. m., 2:45 p. m., 4:45 p. m.
then blew in the dug out, killing
everybody, and our men launched
a small attack capturing the
position.

PARIES IN FLANDERS
‘'Last night beneath the stars, on
sentry go,
I saw the fairies dancing to and fro;
Just how they came and went I do not
know.”
‘‘They came to me before the moon
had set,
Their little fairy formal can’t forget;
They lightly danced across the parapet. ’ ’
‘‘Along the trench they tripped, and
around the bay,
Their laughter echoed—and in some
strange way;
I felt the sunshine of a warm spring
day.”
‘‘Somewhere a cannon roared into the
night,
And as I peered into the evening
light;
My fairies sighed and vanished out of
sight.”
—A. E. Wright.
