MEMORIAL DAY
1 ESTAGADA
Nature was in tune with the
occasion and furnished ideal
weather. It was kept ip Estacada
as a holiday, the stores generally
being closed, except for a short
period in the morning. A num
ber of visitors from outside points
were present, either visiting with
friends or coming for the day.
• The exercises took place in the
park, where an assembly of about
three hundred gathered around
band stand. The Carl Douglas
post of the American Legion ar
ranged for the pregram with R.
G. Deming as master of cere
monies, Burtchett’s orchestra
played an overture and the Rev.
J. F. Dunlop offered the invoca
tion. The singing of the nation
al anthem followed, after which
Mayor Stephens was introduced
to make some remarks, which he
did, dwelling on the meaning of
the day and its observances, a
flag drill by a number of school
children under the direction of
Miss Leila Howe, proved a very
pleasing spectacle and the little
giris certainly deserve credit for
their work. Those who took
part were: Velma Rhodes, Helen
Krigbaum, Helen Carter, Bessie
Huxley, Lorretta Ritchey, Emma
Wilcox, Mabel Weaver, Ethel
Hayman, Lucille Saunders, Ora
McKenr.ey, Alta Harrow, Char-
lotta Brown, Nettie Finch, Flor
ence Hassell, Myrtle Petley,
Lilace DeShields, Lillian Dunban,
Eugenia Dubois.
An instrumental number was
then played, and “ Flanders
Fields” was read by Mrs. Mor
ton Moore. The speaker of the
day was then introduced, 0. D.
Eby, of Oregon City, who gave
an eloquent address tracing the
history of the day. He held his
audience and was warmly ap
plauded at its close. The pro
gram concluded with the sing
ing of America by the audience.
The G. A. R. was represented
on the stand by Ed. Bates, Joel
Bowman and W. W. Davis, and
the Spanish War veterans by
Thos. Young, of Garfield.
The graves in Lone Oak ceme
tery were beautifully decorated
and numbers visited them dur
ing the day.

man, of Portland, Charles Kitch-

A collision between two Fords,
on Broadway, in front of Dale’s
store, last Saturday morning,
caused a temporary excitement.
It was due to one of them mak
ing a turn. The front wheels of
both cars, were twisted. Signs
have now been put up at the cor
ners of this block forbidding
turning in i t
Stewart Hislop and wife, Mrs.
Inez Greenleaf, and twc daugh
ters, came down from Portland,

Honor the Flag
One thing to be regretted
Monday, was, that when the
American Legion marched down
Broadway to the park, few men
•uncovered as the flag passed by.
While this disrespect was unin
tentional, yet it should be re
buked, as it is a mark of igno
rance or disloyalty. Next time
remember, hats off fo the flag,
and if you have little boys with
you, see that tljeir hats are taken
off likewise. Ladies will give a
hand salute.
Community Picnic
The picnic of the Community
Club held in the park last Friday
evening, proved a very happy af
fair. There was a good repre
sentative attendance, and the
program was carried out in the
main, as announced last week.
The club is living up to its name
as a social binder, and much of
its success is due to the indefati
gable efforts of its president, H.
C. Stephens.

CAR OVERTURNS
NEAR FAIRVIEW'
A party consisting of Mr. and
Mrs. Gideon Krigbaum, Mrs. H.
Tracy and little grandson, Harry
Wooster, were being driven
along the Columbia Highway last
Tuesday evening, by Bulger
Krigbaum in his new Studebaker
Light G. When they were ap
proaching Fairview the car sud
denly went over the side of the
road and fell into a slough, the
drop being about fifteen feet
and the £ water five or six feet
deep. How it happened does not
seem to be quite blear. It is
thought that the driver’s atten
tion was momentarily taken off
the wheel when looking for the
t irn cf the road and that uncon
sciously hem ighthaveturned tin*
wheel. Fortunately' the accident
was seen and help summoned,
otherwise there might have been
some fatalities. Mrs. Krigbaum
was badly hurt across the chest,
Mrs. Tracy considerably bruised
and both suffered from their im
mersion in the cold and muddy
water. The men were not hurt
particularly, but the wsrst vic
tim was little Harry Wooster,
who came near being drowned.
A doctor from Gresham was
summoned who worked over him
for several hours and he is now
convalescent. The car was dam
aged but not so seriously that it
cannot be easily repaired.
Farewell Party
The Priscilla club had its May
meeting at the home of Mrs.
Frankie Yount. It was in the
torm of a farewell to Mrs. Yount
and her neice Edith, who are
leaving about June 1st for their
new home in Colorado. They
were each presented with a lit
tle gift as a token of esteem and
best wishes of the members.
They will be greatly missed,
not only by the club, but also the
entire community.
Big dance at Cogswell’s hall,
Eagle Creek, Saturday night,
June 4. Portland orchestra will
furnish music and dancing be
gins promptly at 8:30.
