Vale 1920!
At midnight Friday, another
volume of the world’s history,
will close and a new one he com
menced. The past year has been
full of incident and in some por
tions of the world as exciting as
during the war. It cannot be
said that much progress towards
reconstruction and settling down
to normal conditions, have been
achieved, though here at home,
there are indications of a return
to normalcy.
The chief event was of course
the national election which re
sulted iu the bringing in of a new
administration and. the return to
power of the republican party.
Of the year as a whole, it mav
he said that it was what might
have been expected under the
circumstances, while the passions
raised by war were quieting
down. The rejection of the
treaty and league of nations by
the senate, has kept us out of
peace while not actually in a
state of war. Whether this ac
tion was wise or unwise, can on
ly be determined in the light of
the future.
It would he well then, to ac
cept the situation and make the
best of it, forgetting those things
which are behind, and reach
out to those things which are be
fore. It is no good crying over
spilt milk. Whatever the mis
takes, th e disturbances, th e
tragedies of 1920, they belong to
the past, and what we should do
is to live in present lor ¿the fu
ture. Vale 1920! requiescas in
pace.
The proposition is being mooted
that Estacada join with the north
end of the county in petitioning
to become part of Multnomah
county. Some of our leading
citizens are highly in favor of
this step. The editor of the
N ew s has not been long enough
in the county to pronounce an
opinion one way or the other,
and awaits developments.
Another Christmas Number
The Christmas edition of the
Banner-Courier of Oregon City,
is a good example of the proirres-
siveness of that newspaper. It
consists of sixteen seven column
folio pagds, the contents of which
indicate an editorial ability of a
high order, a wide awake adver
tising clientele, and an expert
mechanical force. The front
page is given up to a scholarly
Christmas message by the Rev.
C. H. Chand’er, rector of the
Episcopal Church in that city.
We make our best bow of con
gratulation to all concerned in
this publication.
Portland Bond House Fails
The failure of the Morris Bros,
firm in Portland is an instance
of how supposedly shrewd busi
ness men are deceived. It was
brought about by the methods of
its president, John L. Etheridge,
who was a quick rich Walling
ford. The surprising thing is,
that he could have attained such
a position, after having served
two penitentiary terms in the
east for fraud. The list of vic
tims is a long one, and the sum
involved over two millions.
The N ews acknowledges with
thanks, the receipt of a copy of
the September quarterly of the
0 egon Historical Society.
We wish all our readers and
friends a very happy New Year.
On the early morning train to
Portland, ( hristmas morning,
were: Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Robert
son, of Garfield, who were going
to eat dinner with the father and
sister of Mi-. Robertson at Ken-
dab; Mrs Irv n,r Smith, Portland
boun; Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Pohl
and children on their way to
Hillsboro; Miss Lois Mann to her
h »me in the Dalles from her
Springwa^er school; Miss Ruth
Candy to Portland; Earl Shiblev
to P. rtland, ami the editor and
his wile to Sellwood.
W. P. Ferrel, of Boring, who
1 u chased a five acre tract of W,
F. Caiy on the south side of the
livir, a short time ago, mak<s
frequent trips to our city. We
would think he would soon re
move to our midst and save car
fare. If he should, he and his
family will be welcome additions
to our community.
George Hislop, the N ews fore
man, went to Portland to spend
Christmas Day with the families
of his son and daughter. Mrs 0.
E. Syren and son, and Mr. and
Mrs. W. J. Symms accompanied
him.
M r. W. Heylman and he»* cou
sin from Wisconsin. Mrs. C. T.
Clark who is visiting? her. went
In Portland Monday morning.

HE Old Year will soon be ended.
*The New Year, laden with its
possibilities, is before us. We
have made mistakes, and we have
profited by the knowledge gained there
by. We have made friends and we
are glad.
For it is on the Confidence and
Good Wilt of our Friends that our suc
cess has been founded. An institution
must be budded upon a foundjtion of
confidence, or it cannot survive.
So to you, our Friends, we wish
OPPORTUNITY, PROSPERITY
and SUCCESS in the coming year.
And if, in any small measure we can
assist in the fulfillment, we wish that
high privilege also.
