Last Thursday night there was

reversed and the masons had
their installation first. Tom

It was near midnight when
the installations were finished
and adjournment was made to
the Hotel Estacada where a
splendid five-course banquet
was served by mine host Hauser,
who deseryes hearty praise. The
dining room was beautifully dec
orated appropriately to the sea
son. Between eighty and ninety
guests sat down to the good
cheer provided, to which all did
full justice. They were waited
on by a bunch of pretty waitress
es under the command of Miss
Betty Wise and Mrs. Hauser.

and Irene Saling. Alf Drill act
ed as toast master, calling on
different speakers. A reading

Christmas Family Reunion
One of the events long to be re
membered by those who partici
pated in it, was the family gath
ering at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Yocum of Garfield,
on Christmas Day.
By the well laid plans of the
immediate family and Mrs. Judd
sister of Mrs. Yocum who has
been visiting her the past week,
two sisters, Mrs. Charlotte Lewis
and son Glenn, Mrs. Hinshaw'
an<i husband, and brother, Hen
ry Jcnes and family, all from
Yamhill county, sprung a total
surprise on the hostess, by ap
pearing in autos laden with ex
tra goodies to help make merry
the Christmas feast of turkey
dinner with all the accessories.
The rooms were tastefully decor
ated befitting the occasion. An
impromptu Christmas program
followed which added to the en
joyment of all. Mrs. Yocum’s
sisters and her brother with their
families, and her daughter Mrs.
J. B. Jones and family of Port
land, remained for the next day.
Garfield Zion Church
The Rev. J. F. Dunlop will
preach in this church Sunday af
ternoon at 3 o’clock.
A Growing Industry
O. W. Failing, nurseryman of
i Garfield, is having very flatter
ing success with his business.
He makes a specialty of raising
prune trees for sale and is fast
acquiring an enviable reputation
for the quality of his stock. He
is shipping this week 10,000 one-
year-old trees to Portland, and
only a week or two previously,
he sent another shipment of the
same number, to Wilamette val
ley points. Altogether his ship
ments this season total some
30,000 trees. We should think
that this is more profitable and
more reliable than raising the
fruit.
Community Club
Plans are being prepared for a
very enjoyable Watch Party at
the Community Club meeting,
tomorrow, Friday, evening, at
the Estacada Hotel.
As announced last week, the
program will be furnished by
Messrs. Horner of Dodge and
Chingren and others of Colton.
The business meeting will be
devoted to discussion of road
questions and other matters of
interest. The ladies of Estaca-
eada will furnish sandwiches and
the club will furnish the coffee.
Everyone in the commnnity is
invited to attend.
Cowboy Preacher Dead
The Rev. S. G. Bettes, stepfa
ther of Mrs. D. H. Morgan, pop
ularly known as the cowboy
preacher, died in Portland last
Sunday, after an illness of some
months. He was well known
here as he had visited his daugh
ter last winter and again in the
fall. Funeral services were held
in Portland, Tuesday afternoon,
and the remains taken to Rose-
burg for interment in the family
lot.
M m . M. Judd, sister of Mrs.
Thomas Yocum of Garfield, who
has been visiting the latter for
about two weeks, returned Tues
day morning to her home at
McMinnville.
Mrs. Anna K. Morton went to
Portland Wednesday morning.
$1.50 P er Y ear
WILL HAVE PAVED
STREET 10 DEPOT
At the last meeting of the City
Council, preliminary steps were
taken for the purpose of paving
the intersection of Second and
Broadway, the full width of both
streets, and from there a sixteen
foot strip to the railroad, with
the balance of the street grav
elled. This is .a much needed
improvement and one^ which is
made possible through the public
spirited position taken by the 1».
R. L. & P. Co. This company
owns more than a majority of
the property frontage involved,
and it would have been impossi
ble to make the improvement
without their support. But when
approached on the matter the of
ficials were quite willing to do
their pa-1, which is in line with
the attitude they have always
assumed in matters of local inter
est. It is expected that prelimi
nary work will be completed as
soon as the necessary legal for
malities are arranged, so that
the actual paving will begin at
as early a date as possible.
A Successful Dunce
The Christmas night dance
given by the United Artisans,
proved a huge success. There
was a record attendance, fine
music and good order. Mr. and
Mrs. Rehberg won the prizes for-
being the best' waltzers, which
were a box of candy for the lady
and a Irox of cigars for the gen
tleman.
He Saved His Bacon
One of our merchants had sev-
eral hundred dollars invested
with Morris Bros, of Portland,
for which he only held interim
certificates. Needing money for
his business, he cashed them on
ly a few days before the crash.
Now he is congratulating him
self on his good fortune.
If the party who took Mrs. O.
E. Smith’s umbrella at the ma
sonic supper, will return it to
Dale’s store, they can get their
own at the hotel.
