OUR SLOGAN: Community Cooperation Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas Counti/ V olume 13, N umber 9 ROAD BONDS HIGHLY FAVORED * The road meeting last Monday night, showed that the people in this vicinity are highly in favor of bonds. Owing to the fact that the school meeting for the cqn- sideration of the budget for the coming year was scheduled for that evening, the roadmeeting was postponed to immediately af­ ter the former was ended. A good and representative audience was assembled which was called to order by H., C. Stephens, who introduced the subject by deal­ ing with its financial side, ex­ plaining how the bonds are to be paid. He m a d e an excellent point in showing that the inter­ est and principal w o u l d only amount on a $1,000 valuation'.to $4,45 per year during the term of the issue. This is almost a neg­ ligible sum, as that amount will be saved in wear and tear, time and convenience several times over during the year, by paved roads. Owing to a mix up in dates, the Oregon City speakers could not be present, so volun­ teers were called upon. The Rev. J. F. Dunlop made a gener­ al good road speech which elicit­ ed warm applause. The editor of the News followed, stating that if he had had any hesitancy about voting fcr bonds it was re­ moved the day before, when he was taken for a ride which took him over into Multnomah county. The difference between the roads in Multnomah and those in Clack­ amas county would be obvious to a blind man much to the discre 1- it o f t h e l a t L r Mayor Bartlett was the last speaker, who in an exhaustive speech related his ex­ periences this summer in Calif­ ornia, which state has expended so much on paved ria ls and has voted an additional forty millions for this purpose. If this meet­ ing is any indication of the final result next Monday, the road bond issu.e will carry' as it did lately in Union county, by a vote of 4 to 1. Much interesting m atter has to be left over to next v eek. E stacada , O regon T hursday N ovember LfD 1919 M odern W o o d m en T h e S ch ool M eetin g Estacada is becoming quite a lodge town. The Modern Wood­ men of America is the latest fraternal order to be represent­ ed here. Last Thursday even­ ing, in the I, 0. F. hall, a camp was organized by the State I)ep- iuty Consul, A. P. Martin of Portland, assisted by Mr. Gester, clerk of-the liernvvood Camp, Portland. A class of twenty members was presented for initiation in the mysteries of woodcraft, while a number of old members joined by transfer. Several ma­ chine loads of Neighbors came- over from Gresham and Damas­ cus to help in the work and give the new camp a propitious send- off. • The following officers were elected and installed with ap­ propriate ceremonies: Consul, Hugh S. Jones; Vice- consul, James Park; Banker, C. S. Allen; Clerk, P. S. Stamp; Escort, Sam Barr; Watchman, Grover Kiggins; Guard, Harry Pitching; Past Consul, Walter Campbell; Trustees, LeeS.»Bron- son, Dinnis Kinsey and Charles Hicinbothan. Refreshments were served at midnight and all reported that they had the time of their lives, while the visiting members got home in time to get breakfast. The meeting at the High School Monday evening, for the purpose of voting a special district tax to raise the necessary amount ri - quired to meet the school expens­ es for the fiscal year, was a very harmonious one. All three directors were pres­ ent and the assemblage was call­ ed to order by the chairman, J. K. Ely. After some discussion of the special tax to be voted, it was moved by S. E. Wooster and seconded by H. C. Stephens that the district vote a special 13 mill tax. This was unanimously car­ ried. The budget calls f o r a $14,445 appropriation, t h e 13 mills special tax will bring tins up to $15, 291.87. The desireability of disposing of; the motion picture machine owned by the school was discuss­ ed. The motion was made by 11. C. Stephens and seconded by E. W. Bartlett that the machine be left to the school Board to be used as they think best for the benefit of the school. No further business being on hand, the meeting adjourned. Mrs. Susie Sarver, Clerk. Firm C h a n g es H an ds SCHOOL NOTES O r g a n iz e C am p As will be seen by his adver­ tisement, Mr. Harry'Snyder has bought out the genera! store of I. M. Park. Mr. Snyder is well known here as an energetic busi­ ness man, having clerked for­ merly for Cary Bros. He is in for going ahead as he thinks this community is as good and re­ sponsive as any other, and we predic- he will give it what it wants. The former owner has not yet decided |n what line he w 11 engage, but he does not in­ tend to remain out of business. This town would seem strange without the name of I. M. Park as one of its firms. F ootb all G a m e Estacada High will play Ore­ gon City High on Saturday after­ noon on the local field commen­ cing at 2:30 p. m.

Whereas it has come to our no­ tice that certain people living in what is now Road District No. 1 are opposing the Road bond is­ sue and are making many mis­ leading statements to fool and delude the voters, and Whereas such District No. I has received in th“ past few years pracrically all of the road money expended for the hard surface roads as the same has been appropriated at the Budget meeting, ami as a result thereof have secured a large amount of hard surface roads in that dis­ trict at the expense of the coun­ ty at large, therefore be it re­ solved That in our < pinion it is a very narrow and selfish stand taken hy certain people of said district in opposing good roads, and be it further Resolved that we do most heartily endorse the Road Bond Issue and the efforts of those public spirited citizens of the county who are striving so ear­ nestly to secure the passage of the measure, and we declare our belief to be that the action of the people referred to in District No. 1 is resulting in uniting the vote of the county in favor of the measure.
