SNYDER TAKES
NEW PARTNER
Harry Snyder, of the People’s '
Store, is congratulating himself,
in having associated with him
C. E. Kilgore, who has been
clerking for him for a month or
so past. The business had in
creased ¿0 much in volume that it
was hard f3r Mr. Snyder to
handle it alone, and so he was
much relieved and delighted to
secure as partner a man of Mr.
Kilgore’s ability and standing.
The new member of the firm is
no stranger to this vicinity, hav
ing lived some years ago in the
Sprinwater district, and also be
ing the son of Col. Kilgore w’ ho
moved to Gresham over a year
ago. He has held some very im
portant business positions being
chief engineer for the great
packing concern of Nelson Mor
ris of Chicago. When the war
broke out that firm so highly re
commended Mr. Kilgore to the
government as an expert in his
line, that he was appointed aid
to the head of the refrigerating
department in the war service.
When the war was over, he re
turned to his former employers
at Chicago. Mrs. Kilgore is the
sister of Wilcox Bros, and when
their father died, she and her
husband came out to attend the
funeral. Mr. Kilgore liked it
here so much, and naturally Mrs.
Kilgore desired to be nearer her
relations, so he determined to
stay and settle down. Not only
will his doing so benefit the Peo
ple’s Store, but the whole com
munity, as he will be a decided
asset to the place, knowing well
what tends to make a town grow
and prosper. The N ews extends
hearty congratulations to the
newly reconstituted firm and
wishes them unbounded prosper
ity. A few more such progres- .
sive additions to the business
force, a spirit of enterprise would
take possession of the place and
develop it beyond recognition.
Mr. and Mrs. S. R. McWillis
returned home last night.
Mrs.
McWillis’ health is much better.

A Notable Magazine
The Youth’s Comparion is too
well known to need any extended
comment. It has an advertise
ment in this issue which it will
be well for our readers to con
sider. There is probably no more
popular publication in the entire
country than this, which is as
much enjoyed by the a d u l t s
as by the young.
Its phenom
enal success affords a striking
tesiimony that clean journal
ism does pay, and is of a more
enduring character than the yel
low sort.

Ranger Tom Carter’s new log
cabin at Oak Ridg^P on tin? trail
o f the north fork o f tin* Clacka
mas river leading to Clackamas
lake, is to be the finest example
of artistic rusticity in the Oregon
national forest when he gets it
finished.
The cabin is built entirely of
logs. The work was done under
Carter's direction by forest ser
vice employes in the summer of
1919. This winter Carter will
make all the furniture with which
it is to be equipped. It will he
on the rustic order, made from
natural logs. Carter is adept in
the use of logs for building pur
poses, and the log hotel LaBarre
at Estacada is the work of his
hands.
The Oak Grove cabin is 30
miles from the nearest railway
station, Estacada.
Carter ex
pects to move into the cabin with
his family next spring. Oregon
