OUR SLOGAN: Community Cooperation K EEP YOUR EYE ON ES TACADA! Devoted to the Interests o f Eastern Clackamas County V olume 12, N umber 37 Estacada and Molalla High School teams met on the Estaca da diamond for a return game, Saturday afternoon, which proved the most exciting of the season. Molalla led off with 3 scores the first inning, while Estacada se cured but one. Estacada tied the score in the third, and for 7 innings neither side scored. In the first half o f the 11th inning, Molalla broke in with one run which Estacada covered in the second half, and the 18th inning began with the tie still in opera tion. But Molalla failed to score in the first half o f the 12th in ning, while Estacada connected l'or three hits, Tilling the bases. Walter Smith, premier pitcher among the High Schools, earned more laurels by getting a home run, thereby scoring the winning run making the final score 5 to 4 as the first tally in the extra in ning is the only one to count. In view of the fact that Molal la finally admits our protest of the game played at Molalla, this brings the county championship to Estacada, thereby paving the way foi a state championship game to be played during the Chatauqua. This game will ne cessitate some financial support hy^the buisness men, and the boys are deserving of the same. Smith for instance, has 5 home runs, 32 base hits and several single ones to his credit this sea son. E stacada , O regon , T hursday , J une 5, 1919 A Curious O ccu rren ce O f f for ¿California Last Wednesday Pete Davis, who lives on the Krigbaum place in Garfield, put up his car in the barn at noon. During the after noon he hadyoccasion to go to the barn and found that the car had caught fire and all the wood work completely distroyed. A hole about two feet in circumfer ence was burnt in the floor un- • derneath, but nothing else was injured. A team of horses in a stall four feet uway had not been hurt. The origin was due, it is supposed, to the wires in the car becoming crossed and short circuiting. What is most strange, is that the barn with exception; o f the floor, did not catch fire. The car was unin sured and a Chevrolet. There was quite an exodus o f residents o f our city Monday, en route for California. They went in their cars making three several loads. They were Mr. and M s. E. W. Bartlett and Ken Bartlett who are going to visit ,tlieir. daughter and sister, Mrs. Smith, o f Colton; Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Spunks who go to Oakland and Mr. and Mrs. S. Pesznecker and son Leo, who will visit Mrs. Pesznecker’s brother in San Francisco. All travel together going, but will return at different times. The Pezneckers will only be away about.15 days, thej Bartletts will be back about the middle o f July, while Mr. and Mrs. ..Sparks may be absent^for two months. The N ews wishes the whole party a pleasant trip and vacation. L ast C all for C h au tau q u a The Chautauqua numers are excellent and those who attend ed are loud tn their praises. But the ^attendance is_ not,, what it should be and the committee is facing a serious deficit which it will .have to make up. Every body should turn out tonight and help reduce this. The pro gram tonight is the *beot ever and worth twice the amount o f admission. WOOLGROWERS TAKE NOTICE Our wooi buyer W. H. Lucke, will be here tomorrow, Friday, June 6th.

Alumni associa tion held their annual banquet and business meeting, at the Es tacada hotel, Friday evening, May 30th. The meeting was called to order by President Del la Lovell, and after greetings to the class o f 1919, to which Ruth Saling responded a delicious ban quet was served and thoroughly enjoyed by all. After the sup per a good program was rendered and officers elected for the next year. Those elected were: Mrs. Theo Ahlberg President Clyde Denney Vice-Pres. Ruth Saling Secretary Carl Kimmel Treasurer Lloyd Saling Reporter Chester Womer, Kitty Raegan and Doris Lovell, executive com mittee. Dancing followed the supper and with the best o f music by the High School orchestra, every one enjoyed himself to the limit. This was the most successful meeting ever held by the alumni, fifty-eight members being pres ent. Every class was represent ed and some classes showing 1()0 per cent. The party broke up at a late hour and all went home hoping to be present at many more alumni banquets. $1.50 P er Y ear IS OBSERVED The exercises in the High School auditorium were very weli rendered Friday m irning. The full program was given in last week’s N ews . The special features were the four minute talks by returned soldiers which proved intensely interesting. These were by Milton Evans, Ken Bartlett and Carl Kimmel. The first spoke about “ the trip over,"th e second on “ a trip thru France’ ’ and the last on “ at the front.’ ’ Then Chester Womer recited “ in Flanders’ Fields,” which was made all the more effective and touching by the stage setting. The curtain went up and revealed three gracs covered graves with poppies in between, illustrating the refrain. “ Tho poppies bloom in Flanders’ fields.” Women dressed in black were decorating them with flowers, and at the head and foot o f each grave were simple wooden crosses, while the allied flags were at the foot o f the central grave. The whole seem* was most touching and we could not help thinking how much more comforting and expressive were the simple crosses which testify to death being swallowed up in victory and life, than tin» unmeaning, grotesque and cost ly blocks o f granite and marble which so frequently weigh down our dead in cemeteries at home. Prof. Godfrey and Miss Ruth Dillon both captured their au diences by their singing and the latter very appropriately added the “ Battle Hymn o f the Re public,” in the chorus o f which the audience joined. I'he other participants were children o f the grades and the delivery of their pieces showed careful pains and training. The ceremonies concluded with the benediction by the Rev, J. P. Dunlop. The credit o f arranging the progra n and its successful carrying out, is largely due to Mrs. M. B. Signs. Perhaps owing to a mis understanding o f the hour there were not as many o f the towns ¿ people present a> were expected.
