OUR SLOGAN: Community Cooperation K E E P YOUR RYE * O N ESTACADA! Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 13, N umber 7 GEORGE PEOPLE E. G. G. G. M “Let George do it,” is a pro verbial saying, the advisability of which was confirmed last Friday evening when the Com munity Club was entertained at the George ClOb Hall. In spite of the inclement weather, a good sized gathering a sse m b le d , among which Estacada was well represented. As it was Hal lowe’en the hail was decorated appropriately and the proceed ings began with a ghostly seance which .was truly hair raising. White shrouded ghosts looking like members of the Klu-Klux clan, appeared on the stage sur rounding a caldron, in which they stirred a mysterious brew. A a we did not sample it, we can not say whether it violated the prohibition law or not, but no doubt it whs a spirit concoc tion. After they had depa'ted, President Stephens called the meeting to order for a discussion of the road bond issue to bs vot ed on Nov. 24. The first speaker was the Rev. Carl J. Renhard of Col.oi, who in a humorous ad dress, showed the advantages which will accrue from a system of paved roads, even to people who are not directly on them. He was followed by Atty. Chris Schnebel of Oregon City, who explained how the proposed is sue had been hedged about by safeguards which will eliminate the profits usually going to pav ing companies on this sort of work and the Warren paving company in particu.ar. The is sue provides that the county shall furnish the material for the roads and the contractor on ly the labor. There were only these two speakers and after they were thiough, Hallowe’en games and dancing were tnjoye 1, while the George ladies served dainty re freshments. Everyone enjoyed themselves and reit repaid for braving the elements. The next meeting will be in Estacada Nov. 28, when the fate of the road bond Issue will be known. Whether it will b • a jumiant or mournlui art air will depend on the action of the vot ers on the Monday previous.

W ell Known Firm (5. 1919 Sells Out Messrs. Lee Bronson, Milton Evans and Harry Reid have sold out the Estacada Feed Go. and its branch store at Viola to Mor gan Bros., who take possession as soon as the business formali ties are completed. The former owners have not decided yet on their plans for the future, but we hope they will remain here to take advantage of the coming wave of prosperity, especially as they have proved themselves to be men of keen business ability. The New's thanks them for their generous patronage of its adver tising columns, which it believes proved remunerative to them. The new owners are both well known here and will no doubt carry on the bnsiness m >st satis factorily to all concerned. To both old and new firms the News wishes abundant future success. Hallowe’en Party The Hallowe’en masquerade party given by the Misses Helen and Audrey Miller last Friday night at the hotel, was a very enjoyable affair for the ycung people. There were quite a number masked and the evening was spent in playing games. Mr. and Mrs. Miller, parents of the young ladies, were there to help entertain and’ they served nice refreshments before the festivities came to an end. Pear Trees in Blossom A peculiar freak of what nat ure can do wss demonstrated at the J. W. Hughes farm in Cur- rinsville, where there is a nice Stork DeliverLs pear orchard.

McCall returned Saturday night from a week’s hunting trip in the pea vine mountain country. Each doctor was successful in getting a deer, althothe hunting was difficult on account of the the stormy weather and deep snow. On the return trip, they were treated to some extra bluff climbing on account of the high water over the trail above the South Fork. Dr. Wells says the miles up in that country are the longest of any, he has ever trav eled, and that the romance of deer hunting ends immediately after the deer is killed. Important Real Estate Deal The building in which the Wooster agency has its office as well as the adjoining one now oc cupied by the McWillis grocery, have been acquired by ,1. W. Reed who now owns 90 feet front at that corner of Broadway. It is his intention to put up a fire proof block, which will bean or nament to the city. Mr. Reed evidently has faith in Estacada’s future,*otherwise he would not be making these plans, and as he is a shrewd business man, he is not likely to be mistaken. All the indications point to a big business wave coming this way next spring, if not before. Cheverolets Arrive The Cascade Garage ’ has just received a car load of Chevrolets, which no doubt will go like hot cakes owing to their popularity. If you want to know the reason why, ask the man whq drives one. The price is only $857.00. This firm also expects shortly a car load of Cnandlers, which are higher priced than the* Chevro lets. Mayor Bartlett recently purchased one and introduced it to this neighborhood. He is loud in its praise« and its looks speak for themselves. We are glad to note these signs of prosperity of this deservedly popular firm.
