If the plans o f some of our
business men do not miscarry.
Estacada will see a buildimr
boom next spring. As mention
ed in the News two o r three
weeks ago, J. W. Reed intends
to erect a fireproof block on the
lots now occupied by Wooster’ s
real estate agency, McWillis’
grocery and the pharmacy, J. W.
Lovelace a n d Harold Wooster
bought last fall the vacant lot ad
joining Wm. Dale’ s store and a
half interest in the wall and will
erect a two story fireproof build
ing on it. J. C. Hillman bought
the lot and the building he now
uses as a meat market a short
time ago, and it is in the wind,
that he may join forces with
Messrs. Lovelace and Wooster in
putting up a building to cover
both lots. There is a strong feel
ing that the coming year will be
one of marked growth for Esta
cada. A number o f new families
are planning to move here, and
it only needs one or two advent-
ursomeand progressive spirits to
lead tne way, in making substan
tial improvements for better bus
iness an i housing accomcdations.

Editor, Eastern Clackamas News
Dear Sir, I am sending a money
order to pay for the News from
Aug. 1919 to Aug. 1920.
The Eastern Clackamas News
is always welcome and the read
ing of it never fails to bring love-
ing memories o f the years spent
in Estacada.
I wish you success in your
work among such splendid people.
Very Sincerely
Mrs. W. A. Wash.
Miss Jane C. Allen, R. N.,
State Advisory Nurse, was in
t o w n Friday accompanied by
Miss Elizabeth Weinhold who
has just been appointed public
advisory nurse for the county.
She is appointed by t h e Red
Cross and her salary is paid out
o f the proceeds o f the sale o f I he
Christmas Red Cross seals. She
visits the schools o f the county,
inspects the children and gives
hygienic talks. She visits the
homes and advises the parents.
The examination o f the children
is not compulsory, so that if any
parents object their children are
not examined. Miss Allen comes
from New Jersey and is thor
oughly qualified for her position.
She expects to visit at t his end o f
county one week in each month.
As her advice and examinations
are entirely free, this should be
an additional inducement to in
vest in the Red Cross seals, as
what is expended in this way, is
returned by the services of this
competent official.

M. E. Quarterly Conference
The Rev. T. R. Ford, I). I)., o f
Salem, District Superintendent,
arrived Saturday to hold quar
terly conference. He preached
a very powerful sermon Sunday
morning to a large and apprecia
tive congregation. His subject
was “ sacrifice and service,”
drawing these lessons from the
myracle o f feeding
the live
thousand,
showing that the
church has enough to supply the
hungry multitudes but it requires
sacrifice and service on the part
o f the members in its distribu
tion. After the service (he con
ference was called to order, hut
soon udjourned for dinner, which
was served by the ladies o f the
chureh in the basement rooms.
This was a very happy affair as
the tables groaned under the
weight of the good tilings pro
vided for the occasion.
The
hungry having been fe I. the
conference was resumed and fin
ished its business. The prospect
for the coming year is bright
and with its pastor and people
working with one mind, there
can be no doubt as to the out
come.
