M O W QUARTET
PLEASES AUDIENCE
That the members of the senior
class of the High School, need
have no fear of being left in the
lurch as to their guarantee of the
Lyceum series was evident Fri
day night bv the large audience
which taxed the seating capacity
of the whole auditorium. Prin
cipal Burns also announced that
the required sum had been se
cured. so all additional receipts
will go to swell the treasury and
insure a continuance another
year of a similar course.
The entertainment was by the
Mozart* Ladies' Quartet, which
proved exceptionally pleasing,
and consisted of violin and piano
selections, sovtgs and readings.
The artists are four pretty
young ladies who looked charm
ing on the stage and acquitted
themselves with marked ability.
The leading violinist was Miss
Frances Brandt, a pupil of a fa
mous virtuoso Tirindelli, whoever
he may be. Certainly he would
have had no reason that evening
to be disappointed in his pupil.
Unfortunately there w e r e no
printed programs, so although
the numbers were announced, it
is probable that few remembered
what they were. The perform
ers were heartily applauded and
generously responded to encores. •
The whole program went through
without a hitch, and there'were
no exasperating waits between
the numbers, so it was out at a
reasonable hour. The auditorium
became rather too warm and the
air heavy. Another time it would
be well to have some one open a
few windows when such is the
case. There will be four more
entertainments in the course, the
next one being on November 16.
Estacada vs. Forest Grove
MARRIED—At the home of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Page, in Estaeada, October
20, 1920, Miss Minerva Page to
Robert E. Moore. This interest
ing announcement was withheld
last week by special request, but
the ban has new been lifted. It
will be remembered that the
lights went out of commission
that evening, but Cupid was not
to be deterred* by such a slight
inconvenience. The groom ar
rived late in the evening and
routed out the Rev. J. F. Dunlop
to tie the nuptial knot, which was
done in the immediate presence
of the bride’s familv.
Mrs. Robert Moore was raised
here and graduated in last year’s
High School class, and is very
popular in social circles, and has
a host of friends. The groom
worked here this spring and
summer in the Reed & Shibley
garage, from which he only re
cently resigned his position, and
is now employed in Oregon City.
The young couple will make their
future home at Gladstone. The
N ews extends hearty congratu
lations.
This game, last Friday, proved
disastrous to our boys, as they
were beaten by a score of 47 toO.
But they showed they were sports
by taking it in good spirit, be
sides it was no disgrace, as the
Forest Grove team w a s much
heavier, and therefore had the
advantage. As t h e game is
played, “ football” is almost a
misnomer, it is more a gladiato
rial contest. Football pure and
simple, used to be played at Win
chester College i n England,
where there was no slugging,
tackling or high kicking. The
ball had to be propelled by the
feet, and it was considered bad
form to kick the ball higher than
three feet. This seems tame to
the American footballer, but it
afforded a very pretty game de
manding a good deal of skill and
finesse. It was a fine sight to
see an expert player run rapidly
across the field keeping the ball
all the time between his two feet.
The Estaeada team will play Ore
gon City on Saturday at Oregon
City.
Debate On
League of Nations
The Family Theatre was very
well filled last Monday evening
to hear the debate between O. D.
Eby and William M. Stone of
Oregon City. Both of these gen
tlemen have been going over the
county arguing for and against
the league. Both handled their
own sides well, but they did not
bring out any fresh points from
those which have been adduced
before. It is probable that the
adults in the audience had already
made up their minds on the sub
ject, and their determinations
have not been changed one way
or the other by the speakers of
Monday evening. J. K. Ely pre
sided.

HEDGES ET AL
The followers of Jeffersonian
democracy assembled in good
force at the Family Theatre la«t
Tuesday night.
The gathering
was called to order by William
Dale who presided with dignity
befitting the occasion. The ap
pointed speakers were Gilbert L.
Hedges, district attorney, R. It.
Beatie and E. T. Mass. The
first spoke about his office and *ts
multifarious duties, what he had
accomplished and what he hoped
to accomplish if elected another
term. It seems generally con
ceded that Mr. Hedges has made
good and if so it would be wise
to retain him. The office should
be taken out of partisan politics.
Mr. Beatie it will be remembered
was recalled when serving as
county judge some years ago,
spoke on the point on which he
was recalled, that of ordering a
cruise of the timber owned by
various corporations in Clacka
mas county. The cost am mut
ing to $41.000 was considered
excessive, but he showed that the
gain to the county in revenue
from this cruise has been since
1913 $275,000, thereby justifying
the expense of the cruise. He
is now again a candidate for the
office. E. T. Mass who wants to
be sheriff has had experience in
lhat office as well as that of dep
uty U. S. marshall. He prom
ised if elected to give a satis fac
tory administration and fulfil his
official oath. Matt C. Glover,
candidate f o r representative,
who was scheduled to speak, was
unable to be present.
