OUR SLOGAN: Community Cooperation > Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 14, N umber 11 HAUSER LEASES IRE ESTACADA It will be good news to our people that the Estacada is to be put in thorough repair and will soon be in operation with dining room reopened. Last Monday V. W. Hauser signed the papers with the P. R. L. & P. Co, which gave him a lease of the building, taking possess ion the first of the year. Until then he wiil continue to run his restaurant. Mr. Hauser was born and raised in the business, as his father is a veteran hotel man, who is we believe, still running one in Florida. This assures that the Estacada will be maintained as such an institu tion should be, so as to attract the traveling public as well as home patrons. It should be rec ognized that Mr. Hauser in un dertaking its management, is doing a service to the town and eommuniW, as nothing helps more to give a stranger a favor able impression of a town, than a good hotel. Frequently the determination of the new comer to remain, was due to the hotel accommodation. A place like this, which is near to Portland and situated amidst such beauti ful scenery, should be a favorite week end resort for city people desiring a brief restand change. If they know that here they take “ their ease at their inn," with such comforts and conveniences to which they are accustomed, their patronage will be assured. And in many other ways the hotel will make the town a fa vorite rendezvous for social gatherings and the like. Mr. Hauser should receive the gener ous support and eneonragement of our people, not only in recom mending the hotel to t h e i r friends but by patronizing it for Sunday dinners and on other occasions. We suggest that Mr. Hauser should arrange for a grand banquet on his opening night and every one take a plate and thus give him a hearty send off.

D ance Douglass Drill was here Friday and Saturday arranging for a dance to be given in the Park Pavilion on Saturday beginning at 9 o’clock. The music will be furnished by the Metcalf’s five- piece orchestra of Portland. C ar A ccident Mr. and Mrs. Walter Givens of Kent, Oregon, who with their family were driving to Currins- ville, Wednesday of last week, met with an accident which badlv injured the cat^, and might have proved fatal to some of them. They were passing the Henry Githens’ place when the car ran into the fence at the turn of the road, and hit one of the fence brace posts. This flew up and went through the windshield almost hitting Mr. Givens on the head. Fortunately,' he moved his head to one side, and thus saved his life, for if he had been struck, he surely would have been killed. Although both he and Mrs. Givens were covered with broken glass, neither of them was hurt. They phoned in to town to the Cascade garage, which sent out a car after them. As they were on their way to R. H. Currin’s they had not far to go. The car was repaired suffi ciently so they could return home in it Saturday. .

Reed announced that the State Fish and Game commission Mad purchased forty acres of land, adjoining the Garfield country club, where they will establish a fish hatchery. This will involve an expenditure of between thirty and thirty-five thousand dollars and will mean much to this vicin ity. The attendance was small owing to the unpleasantness of the weather and bad state of the roads. A number of old time songs were sung bv the company led by L. V. Cleworth and these were followed by J. W. Brewer of Portland, field secretary for the State Chamber of Commerce in an address on Community Co operation. This elicited a num ber of questions which Mr. Brewer answered. “T —------------- T hanksgiving C om m unity Service The attendance of this service was not what it should have been, which is much to be re gretted, if there is any meaning to the day, and the proclamations of the president and governor.
