The design showed much originality, the body o f the float being trimmed with moss and decorated with festoons o f wild rhododendron and Oregon grape. On the sides ran the legend, “ Estacada, Favored of the Gods,” done in letters of clover blossoms w'hich made a unique effect. Estacada was represent ed by Mrs. A. E. Yocum, who sat majestically on a throne and grouped in front o f her were the goddesses Geres, Pomona and Flora, represented by Misses Re- tha Ames, Bertha Hillman and Gladys Kandle respectively, who denoted the grain, fruit and flowers with which the Estacada territory abounds. R a y m o n d Lovelace took the part o f Nep tune as the god o f the water power, and Chester Womer, Ju piter, the god o f the thunder bolts (electricity), and a wood nymph, Miss Helen Wooster, represented the lumber industry. At the rear were Mary Alice Reed and Leta Possen who threw out packages o f prunes grown in this locality. Fred Bartholo mew donated his truck for the event and was its driver. Those on the float had a strenuous tim e; not only were they obliged to stand up and look pleasant for five hours before being released, but th e y 'g o t soaking wet from rain and as their costumes were light they also were greatly chilled. But they bore the dis comfiture » like heroines and he- roes for the honor o f their home town. The prize awarded was report ed as a# cash one o f $100, but later notification came that it was a solid silver vase. This is rather unfortunate as there is no place where it can be kept on display, However, the elation [ Carried over to Page 3, col. 1 ] E s t a c a d a , O regon T h u r sd ay J u ly 1, 1920 Community Celebration Estacada, Monday, Ju ly 5th The following program has been arranged by the 4th o f July com mittee : 10:30 Parade will form on Main Street and march down Broadway to Park. • 11:00 Musical program in Park. 12:00 Picnic dinner in Park. . 1:00 Community Sing. 1:30 Address by Walter H.

Community Club Elects O f f i c e r s The Community Ciub held its election o f officers Monday even ing in the Family Theatre, the use of which was kindly donat ed by Manager Linn. Reports were read showing the club in a healthy condition. All the form er officers were reelected, H. C. Stephens, president; R. C. Dem- ing, secretary and J. C. Kitch- ing, treasurer. A film showing the raising and manufacture o f cotton was shown and the differ ent processes, from the picking o f the crop to its being put out a finished artide at the immense plant in New Hampshire where the famous Amoskeag gingham is made. This was furnished througn the U. o f Oregon and is highly educational, as few real ize what an amount o f money, ingenuity and work a boll o f gingham represents. Some dis appointment was felt that not more pictures were shown, but the others which were sent proved to be too poor for exhi bition. Come one, come all, to the Le gion ball, and have a good time. Wedding Bells Saturday morning a young couple boarded the train for Portland, their faces wreathed with smiles. They were R. A. Jones, who works at Kaake’s saw mill, and Miss Frances Bates, daughter o f P. H. Bates, who accompanied them. They were on their way to Vancouver, Wash., which has become a sort o f Gretna Green for those wish ing to get married, without, the medical red tape, which the Ore gon marriage laws impose. Cupid has been especially busy lately in the Bates family, as this is the third daughter to be married in about three months, Mrs. P'red Marshall o f Bull Run and Mrs. Warren McWillis be ing the other two. The newly weds returned the first o f the week.

Road Meeting A number from .Estacada and vicinity attended the' road meet ing at Oregon City last Monday. This was the outcome o f the resolution passed at the County Development League’s session a couple o f weeks ago. The main topic of discussion was the de cision o f the court to allow the bonded highway in the Clarke’s district to be made o f macadam. This aroused much opposition, and on moticn, the league de clared in favor o f the principle that permanent roads mean pavement and not a substitute.
