OUR SLOGAN: Comm un ity Cooperation KERR YOUR EYE ON ESTACADA! (fiar fuimos Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County • V olume 12, N umber 33 LIKE WIRES ADDRESS LARGE AUDIENCE At 8:30 last evening:, Mayor Bartlett called the meeting: to or der in the High School to hear the Live Wires from Oregon City talk on the subject of good roads and the Mt. Hood Loop in partic ular. A good sized audience lis tened very attentively to what was said. Mayor Bartlett briefly intro duced each speaker. The first was Representative Harvey E. Cross who spoke on the need of good roads recalling some inci dents of early days when he taught school. Judge Anderson of the county court was next called on, and he dwelt on good roads, being a good investment and also advocated the redistrict ing of the road precincts. The next two were evidently bashful, for they only spoke about a minute each. I)r. Morris of Ore gon City, who is president of the Mt. Hood Loop Association pledg ed the efforts of the county seat to secure the road coming thru Estacada. E. E. Brodie editor of the Oregon City Enterprise gave an illuminating explanation of thè measures to be submitted to the voters in June. County Commissioner Holman of Multnomah, made the great speech of the evening in relating lus experiences as commissioner. He is the man who was mainly responsible for the Columbia Highway. If space allowed, we would like to give an extended summary of his speech, which abounded in telling points. His main maxims were that “economy is not parsimony, nor parsimony economy,” that we should build now for the present needs and let the future take care of itself, that we should depend on our own efforts, and not rely too much on state aid; that money should be freely expended, but care taken to obtain full value l'or every dollar expended. County Roadmaster Root made the final addi ess, outlining how the road work is done and ad vocating a smaller number of road districts. The meeting was highly successful, altho d i s - appointment was expressed that the Mt. Hood loop rood was not more fully described. But this omission can be rectified at a later date. * E stacada , O regon , T hursday , M ay 8, 1919 Program Clackamas County T each ers’ A s s o c i a t i o n To be held at Boring, on Sat urday, May 10th, 1919. 1( :0) a. m.

Mattoon of Garfield, Invests in a Fordson Tractor The Fordson tractor demon stration on the farm of C. M. Matton of Garfield, last Satur day, was a complete success. It plowed and doubled disced an orchard where the plowing was heavy. Mr. Mattoon was so much pleased with the result, that he invested in one. This machine is handled by the Reed Auto Co. which is the Ford agency in this town. Sunday morning Mr. Shibley of the Reed Auto Co. heard a re port like an explosion, in the neighborhood of the garage. In stantly he thought of safe blow ers, and hurried out to call up his partner Mr. Reed. But investi gation showed that the noise w-as caused by the bursting tire of a car, which was making an early start. Go to the Cascade garage for bargains in used cars. $1.50 T er Y ear Chautauqua Early in June Estacada’s second Chautauqua will be held June 3-4-5 this year under the direction of the Raddiffe association of Washing ton, D.

MM DM GSCiAL A GRAND SUCCESS i The May day supper in the basement of the Methodist church was a success in every way. The tables representing the various months of the year were very prettily and ingeniously decorat ed in appropriate ways. That for January had for its centrepiece a skating pond; February was de corated with hearts and figures in colonial costumes; March had a mossy stone in the centre and festoons of broom; April had a globe with gold fish, indicating the opening of the fishing season, with bunches of apple blossoms arranged around it; May’s color scheme was pink and white, while June sported a l a r g e wedding ring with a kewpie standing in it; July was dressed in the patriotic colors with a giant firecracker for the centre piece; August showed a camping scene, while September display ed the fruits of the year; October indicated hardest home, by a shock of corn and ears. Novem ber in many respects was the most original, showing it was the armistice month by a display id' flags of the allies; December dis played a Christmas tree. A prize was offered for the most artistic appearing table and the award was given to the May table. But the judges felt it was a difficult matter to decide, as some months lent themselves to more effective decorations than others. If originality had been the test, the November table would have been the winner. The October table elicited very favorable mention, and would probably have been chosen if an additional touch of color had been given to it by some leaves or apples for instance. After the supper an interesting program was rendered in the church auditorium. Miss Florence Kendall and Miss Wallace rode out thirty miles to the government station a( Oak Grove, where they spent the week-end.
