LURID FLAMES LIT
UP
MIDNIURT
SKY
For the second time within
nine months, Estacada has had a
big fire. About 1L30 Monday
night, Fred Brown who was sit­
ting up with a sick child, heard
an explosion, and on looking out
discovered that the old livery
barn between 1st and 2nd streets
was on fire. He promptly gave
the alarm, but the fiames had
got too much headway before the
advent of the fire brigade, that
the only thing to do was to con­
fine the blaze to the building.
The boys did good work under
the direction of J. V. Ban, and
kept the flames from spreading
to an old house adjoining, be­
longing to William Dale. A big
crowd soon assembled at the
scene, and the sight was w’ell
worth watching, as the flames
presented a weird aspect as they
leaped and tossed in fiery waves
athwart the midnight sky. Un­
fortunately two trucks belonging
t) A. Sagner aid another owned
by Ivan Lacey, as well as a car
of A. Heidlen’s were in the barn
and were destroyed. These car­
ried some insurance, and the
barn which belonged to A. Mor­
row of Portland, was covered by
$300 insurance. The origin of
the explosion which caused the
fire is unknown, and the damage
is estimated at about $10,000.

RIGR SCHOOL PLAT
W
ELL
RECEIVED
A full auditorium greeted the
High school players when they
put on their annual play, last
Monday night. Tt ey had been
coached by Miss Helen John who
may certainly be pleased with
the result of her efforts. The
play itself was well within the
range of the performers’ ability,
and the stage setting tastefully
executed.
‘Sally Lunn” is a clean come­
dy, and deals with the amusing
way in which, through a chapter
of accidents, the young bride of
a middle aged widower, becomes
acquainted with her ready made
family who are older than she
had been led to expect.
Irene Saling took the leading
part and proved herself some
actress when gravely imparting
sage advice to her younger step­
son on the advisability of liking
his teacher. Walter Matson who
took the latter role, was the typ­
ical 17 year old who is a trial to
his correct college brother and
sister. Lydia Matson as the sis­
ter, who has been involved in an
escapade, afforded much amuse­
ment and carried her part with
ease, as did also Gladys Stamp,
as the swell Miss Winshw. Hel­
en Wooster as the haughty dow­
ager scanned all comers through
her lorgnette to the manner born
while Andrew Jannsen took off
the Yale junior who prided him­
self on his model deportment.
Rae Lovelace as another Yale
junior, was in his element when
threatening to knock the block
off the other fellow. All spoke
their lines with ease and showed
but little self consciousness.
Between the acts the girls’and
boys glee clubs sang pleasing se­
lections. The sale of tickets
amounted to nearly $100 The
editor of the N ews offers those
concerned his heartiest congrat­
ulations.
