Presi dent Stephens is to be congratu lated ô.ï the able manner with which he has conducted the a f fairs of the club, and his reelec tion would be a good thing. The usefulness of the club is capable o f being considerably increasea if a larger membership be se cured. Next fall a determined drive should be made with this end in view. Unless we look af ter our own interests nobody else will. It takes some time for such a club to get organized and suffirent intetest aroused among the constituency it strives to serve. Now that a substantial membersnip has been enrolled, fairly representative o f this vi cinity, and the club has proved its usefulness to the community, it should make great progress in every way the coming year.

E stacada , O regon T hursday Eastern Clackamas County Float The float representing the Es- tacada district will be a truck 7x24, with extreme height of 11 feet and decorated with moss, Oregon grape and rododendrons. It is to represent “ Estacada, favored of the Gods” and that legend will appear on the sides in flowers. Thè idea will be carried out by means of seven figures; one central figure rep resenting Estacada, the others being Gods and Goddesses bring ing their offerings to lay at her feet. Jupiter will represent the electricity produced and Nep tune the water power available # here. The Goddesses Ceres, Po mona and Flora will each bring their offering of grain, fruit and flowers, while a wood nymph will represent the lumber indus try.

Saling’s truck to conform to the design which the commit tee prepared, F. C. Bartholomew kindly donated his truck which he is to drive. The committee feels under great obligations to almost every one in the commu nity, to whose attention the mat ter was brought, for the support accorded the enterprise and par ticularly to Geo. E.

These eighty years, how short they beem. Hardly more than a summer dream. But of love and sorrow, my full share 1 have borne, much of grief and care, And yet amid memories gems so fair 1 find many pleasures gleaming there. Eighty years of great events, and many of them too; I have seen new inventions not a few, In this golden age of hasle and hurry. There has been nuch to fret anti woiry. But through all these fitful years God has blessed me w i t h love that cheers. Given love of husband, daughter, sort and frietai, And I know He will be with me to the end. Though my stay on earth may not be long, I will try to wea> a smile ami happy song That my silvered hair may radiance cast O ’er those eighty years of the event ful past S G M L DIRECTOR About seevnty-five voters at tended the annual school mooting last Monday evening, to listen to the reports and elect a director in the place o f J.
