E stacada , O regon , T hursday , J une 12, 1919 Oil on T roubled W aters H om e A gain The N ews is in receipt of a somewhat lengthy letter from the editor of our esteemed con temporary, the Molalla Pioneer. In it he takes issue with the statement in the account of the baseball game between Molalla and Estacada High schools here on May 31st, which said that the former had conceded Estacada’s protest in respect of the previous game between the two schools at Molalla. And he also made some other charges. We referred the matter to our original informant who made counter statements. We regret exceedingly if any un pleasantness occurred on that occasion, all the more so because the Molalla boys were foemen worthy of our team’s steel. It \ ould do no go*>d in our opinion to publish the letter, as it would only invoke a prolonged and heated discussion. So it is better to let the matter drop, hoping that time will exert its mollyfy- ing influence. Estacada will al ways welcome a match with Mo- lalia and promises them a royal reception , whenever they play on our home field. Roscoe Deming arrived home last Saturday looking fit and fine. His ship made the voyage from Brest to New York in thirteen days, where he received his dis charge. He went out to serve with the tank corps, but did not arrive in France until a few days before the armistice was signed. Since then he has been for the most part in Paris with the mo tor transport. He had a good op portunity for seeing that famous city and its interesting spots. Altho he enjoyed his stay and got along verjl well with the peo ple, yet he would not care to live there as they are too much be hind the times. He saw nearly all the big men from President Poincaire downwards, and had a talk with Mrs. Wilson on the Place de la Concorde. But in teresting as his experiences were, he is only too glad to be home again in the good old U. S. A. with wife and Baby Roscoe, who already knows his daddy. T he Rose Festival Portland this week will blossom as the rose. Among the attrac tions announced, is an aerial cir cus in which a squadron of seven or eight aeroplanes under com mand of Lieutenant Colonel Wat son, will take part. These are coming from Mather Field, Sac ramento, and expected to arrive in Portland on the 10th. Rear Admiral Fullam . on board the Minneapolis will bring a fleet of warships and two sea planes. The celebration this year promis es to be fully worthy of its name “ The Victory Rose Festival.” G ran g e M eeting The entertainment given by the Gar field Grange last Satur day evening, at their hall, was well attended and the proceeds amounted to $63.90. A special meeting of the Grange is called for Saturday evening, June 14. All members are requested to be present. V ictory Loan M edal The N ews is the recipient of a medal from the U. S. Treasury.

LOYAL LEGION Last Sunday, June 8th, Esta cada crossed bats with the Loyal Legion team from Portland and annexed their first victory of the season, by a score of 10 to 2. The game was not fast, but dem onstrated that Estacada h a s some good material, and should play fast ball when they get rounded into shape. It is planned to take on some of the better independent teams during the next two months. But the boys will need the sup port financially and in attend ance of the people of the town. For the stimulation of commu nity interest and advertisement, a successful baseball club ranks among the best, and it. is hoped that the business men o f the town will solidly get behind tin* team. Below are the respective teams. The visitors being short o f two men, Estacada furnished them with E. Hannah and Lichthorn. Estacada Loyal Legion Ed Douglass 1. f. Duncan R.
