R. L. & P. Co., tied up the traffic Monday morning for some hours. No. 9, which leaves E t - tacada at 6:55 a. m., was run ning between Barton and Boring when a 1 ndsli<.~ fell across the rails. The train ran into and through it but went off the track and was ditched. The motor- man, C. A. Miller, was unhurt but the conductor, W. H. Grebel was badiy shaken up and bruis ed. There were three or four passengers in the car at the time, who were shaken up but not hurt. Notice of the acci dent was sent to neadquarters and a wrecking crew sent out. The car was quickly brqught back on the track and found not materially damaged, although thickly covered with mud and was taken to Portland. The morning mail train was held un til the track was cleared, so it did not arrive until about 1 p. m. Mr. Grabel was able to continue working in spite of his hurts. H igh C ost o f N ew sprint As an instance of the increas ing cost of printing material, our usual quarterly order for news print paper cost ten dollars this month more than it did last No vember. We have not raised our prices, either for the paper or for job work, yet if paper and material soar much higher, we shall have to, or else go out of business. We respectfully urge our subscribers to rally to our help by paying Up their arrears and renewing. A substantial amount would come in this way, which would be of great assist ance just now, when insurance on the plant is due and taxes soon will be. The paper, with out selfconceit, we claim to be an asset to the town, for other wise Estacada would drop out of the running if it had no organ to express or make itself known.
