OUR SLOGAN: Community Cooperation tEaatc nt (ttlarkamas N puih Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County E stacada , O regon , T hursday , M ay 29, 1919 V olume 12, N umber 36 SIGNIFICANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY This is a day draught with sig nificance, as on it we commemo rate the memories of those who laid down their lives in or fought for the defense of their country. It was instituted first at the close of the civil war, in memory of those who took part in that fra tricidal strife. But since then, the soldiers and sailors ’ fought in the Spanish war i nd this latest world war and have died, have been added to the roll of those to be commemorat ed. It is a happy event that the softening influence of time has closed the chasm between the North and South and now both blue and grey are commemorated together under one flag, as be longing to one nation indivisible forever. Sectional differences are forgotten as clearer vision perceives that this very sectional strife cemented most securely the foundations which were so grievously shaken by the con test. Whether or not it might have been avoided, will remain a moote question, but the outcome was such that an inestimable benefit has resulted, which was essential to the very being and continuance of the nation. So riper judgement can decide that the South a3 well as the North had part in this glorious consum mation. And as the years pass and the unshakable unity be comes more and more apparent and manifested, the Civil war will be regarded more as a storm which uplifted huge opposing waves, for the time being only to subside down tranquilly after having cleared the air, once more into oneness of the ocean. H. C. Kofoid of Caruthers, California, has been visiting with W. W. Dillon. He came all the way in his Dodge car, a distance of 877 miles and over a stretch of sand which motorists usually avoid. Wednesday he proceeded on towards Seattle. Mr. Kofoid is in the lumber business and gets his lumber from Oregon and Washington points. United Artisans Organize f The United Artisans, a frater- nal and beneficiary order, one of the largest of the kind operating in Oregon, met Monday night in the I. 0. 0.

Ice cream and cake are promised, and arrangements may be made for dancing. A splendid time is assured. The Fordson Unafraid At the tractor contest on the W. A. Bard farm in Springwater last Friday, the Fordson proved its worth. Opposed to it were a large J. I. Case machine and the Happy Farmer. But the little Fordson held its own, and in the opinion of many, more than its own, with its competitors. The test included ploughing, discing and double discing, and the Ford son proved itself equal to every situation and occasion. For sale by Reed and Shibley. MARRIED In Portland, Thursday, May 22nd, Miss Ardella Pearl Ryneg of Estacada, to Mr. Forest Willi am White of Willow Creek, Ore. We understand that the young couple met at Arlington, where the bride was teaching school. The groom is a prosperous ranch er. After the ceremony, they left for Astoria to visit 'a sister of the groom. The N ews ex tends felicitations to the happy pair. As next Sunday is memorial Sunday, a special sermon will be preached for the occasion in the Methodist Church at 11 a. m. All soldiers are especially invited j to attend. Loops the Loop B. H. Finch and family were returning Sunday night about 11:30 from Portland, and had just crossed the Gresham bridge, when the ground gave way un der the wheels of the car. It valiantly tried to right itself, but the momentum was too much and it turned over completely. Fortunately none of the occu pants were seriously hurt, altho shaken up, and Mrs. Finch was bruised considerably. But her injuries while painful, were not serious and she was able to be out the next day. The accident was seen by passers by and help promptly furnished, medical at tention summoned, and after a little they were able to proceed on their way home, but in an other car. The damaged car is laid up for repairs and will be in the car hospital for a season. Mr. Finch humorously asserts that he is thinking of buying an aero plane and that he was prac ticing looping the loop. CORRECTION " ‘ y We have been informed that the account of the Eagle Creek grange picnic, furnished us last week, omitted mention of the dance in the evening, which was a very successful affair. Alto gether the grange cleared about $100. In respect to the number on the program, given by the Currinsville school, the snake’s skin was that of a rock python and not that of a cobra. It is 18 feet long while a cobra is never mote than 11 feet. Filipinos do not call their chiefs, kings and queens, but give them the title “Dato.” On this occasion, Dato Ig Cog Ng Buyah (Floyd Hale) and his Asana, Ng Ipong Duyong (Wilma Hitching) were present. The so-called sabre was a “kris” which shows the skillful work of these people. Anyone wishing to examine the skin of the snake is invited to call at the Currinsville school house. W. M. Wade of Olex, Oregon, is visiting relatives here. $1.50 P er Y ear BRILLIANT GALAXY OF ENTERTAINERS Estacada is very fortunate in securing this year, the services of a remarkably able corps of lecturers and entertainers for the Chatauqua Assembly.
