KEEP YO U P EYE ON ESTACADA! iarkamaa ÎCnita Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas Countij V olume 12, N umrer 43 FOR A FI COMMERCIAL CLUB L ist F riliy eveiing at tha E ? ti:a la Ilvtel, a m a a :ii? w u held with the view of starting- a Farmers’ Commercial Club. A dozen or two were present, and after a desultory discussion of matters of importance to our comnunity, the meeting was called to order by Prof. Williams who is conducting the summer business school. He then out lined the possibilities of a farm ers’ commercial body and upon his suggestion a temporary chair man and secretary were elected. H. C. Stephens was chosen for the former position and R. C. Deming for the latter. A temporary committee of three was then appointed by the chair, on publicity, consisting of Upton H. Gibbs chairman. Harry Reid and A. Mills. A committ ee of three women Mesdames E. E. Saling, The.) Ahlberg and H. C. Stephens, was selected and ap pointed to look after the refresh ments at the next meeting, which is called for Friday even ing the 25th. This U not only for organizing a farmers’ com mercial club, but also for pro moting the interest of the differ ent sections in the proposed highway Free ice cream and cake will be served on this oc casion and everything done to secure a good get-together time, The N ews heartily endorses the above object. It is one which it has constantly advoca ted as essential to the interests of the town and surrounding dis tricts. Many a good opportuni ty is lost from it being nobody’s especial business to go ahead A commercial club is for this very purpose to take action when needed. It should be composed not only of the business men of the town, but of the farmers of the vicinity, for their and Esta- cada’s interests and welfare are mutual. Ar good live commercial body can do much in developing the resources of its town and surrounding country, which will not be done without such leader ship. A little effort, a little co operation on the part of all, and a little expenditure right now. may secure permanent ben efits to this place which will re pay the cost and effort a thou sandfold. E stacada , O regon , T hursday , J uly 17, 1919 SO M E G A R D E N S Estacada can boast of a num ber of fine gardens among which the following have come especial ly under our observation. Two of them are back of our resi dence, and belong respectively to Mrs. A. G. Ames and P. M. Wagner. Both are cultivated intensively, notan inch being al lowed to go to waste, and both producing abundantly. Another noteworthy one is that of R. F. Snyder at the northwest corner of town. He has an acre filled with ail kinds of vegetables that will supply all his summer and winter requirements, with a sur plus to spare. These gardens show that Estacada soil with good tillage and catje, will amply repay labor and time expended on it. » M ountain B erries George Crook who lives in the mountains, raises some especial ly fine stawberries. These come into bearing about the time those on the lower levels are through. He has been sending several crates of them to the East.Clack- amas Supply Co. The crates are made by Mr. Crook who splits the sides out of a block with a draw ing knife. He ships them by parcel post, which is a great con venience, as otherwise he would have difficulty in marketing his produce. But now at a slight ex- • pense Uncle Sam does the work for him.

DATION AT COUIM SEAT The Clackamas County Banner has bought out the Oregon City Courier and will henceforth In* known as the Banner-Courier. While the Courier was¿democrat io the Banner-Courier will be in dependent. The Courier build ing has been acquired by the Enterprise which will move into it as soon as necessary changes are made. This consolidation and elimination of one paper, will prove to the advantage of all concerned, as three papers overcrowded the field. Bro. Hoss of the Banner will continue as Editor in chief and be assisted by Miss Alene Phillips as News Editor and F. J. S. Tooze as Ag riculture Editor, with Howard Christensen as Superintendent in the mechanical department. We extend heartiest congratula tions to them and predict a bright future for the paper. Oil For S treets S. Pesznecker was taking up a subscription to purchase oil to put on the main road from the turn at the Marshall place to the bridge, and also on 2nd and 3rd streets. The money was readily raised and the contract will be let to the Multnomah county road commission which does a great deal of that kind of work. When completed it will be a great booq especially in the dry season. C orresp on d en ce S ch ool W. W.
