North of the City Hall there is
a spot very pleasing to look upon,
that is if there is no inclination
to be at all particular about one’s
surroundings. South of the Citv
Hall this place is hidden from
view, but from either incline,,
this inspiring bit of scenery is
far from inconspicuous. In fact
it is quite impossible to overlook
it. It is to be hoped that stran
gers intending to settle here will
have a temporary attack of some
eye disease, while journeying up
the incline.
The spot in quest ?on is simply
a pile of refuse, which should
have been cared for in some
other manner. It consists of
cans, old boxes most of which
contain more or less material that
serves as a favorable breeding
home for different types of bac
teria to the detriment of the san
itary condition of the town. Any
articles no longer of use can with
little effort be taken back of the
C ty Hall, where they may begin
a new career, but of harmiill
ness instead of usefulness. This
place certainly is no improve
ment to the town, and repulsive
to people who are particular
about where they live. This pile
of filth has been there for three
years or more. Much of it could
easily be burned and the rest
hauled away. The City council
or the mayor should take action
In regard to the removal of this
trash.
The members of the biology
class took some of the trash* and
dirt up to the High School for ex
amination under the high power
microscope. In it were found
bacteria of many kinds.
- The class believes it would im
prove the looks and also add to
the cleanliness of the town, if
this garbage were removed.

A special car brought repre
sentatives of the Portland Lodge
of Orangemen, to Estacada last
Sunday. They came on invita
tion ot members of the order liv
ing in this vicinity. A meeting
was held in the Methodist Church
at 2 p m. and was addressed by
Attorney Jetferies who is the
chief officer of the lodge, and an
other speaker who is a returned
service man. The former made
a \>>ry striking and forcible a<’-
dtvss oil patriotism, and ( inline I
thi objects of the order, which
are for the promotion of 100"»
Americanism. I’I k - other speak
er related his < xperiences over
seas, some of which were of a
startling nature.
This order is not so well known
at least in the west, as its anti
thesis tlit* A .cienl Order of Hi
bernians. If any one is ptuzied
why the Irish question is so haid
of solution, let him talk with
members ol these two orders.

REGRETS
A most unfortunate omission
was made last week, in the write
up of the Open House musical
program on New Year’s after
noon. Miss Ruth Dillon was one
of the soloists and led in no-
singing of the old time songs.
As she Is one «four most popular
vs calists and always generously
responds to all calls of this kind,
we beg to offer most profound
apologies for th* omission of her
name.
