COMMUNITY ASSETS
AND INDUSTRIES
Have you ever stopped to con
sider the assets of this little com
munity of ours? At this Christmas
season, when our hearts should be
glad and joyous and gratitude for
r.ll good should be expressed by
each and every one, let us just look
"round us and consider those things
in our community for which we
should be glad.
First, we have our Community
Club, the aim o f which is to stimu
late
good
will
and
fellowship
among the various districts adjoin
ing Estucada; to aid in bettering
business and political conditions for
our people, and to stimulate civic
pride in the general conditions o f
our town.
Second, our churches, which act
as our spiritual guides in keeping
our thoughts right with God.
Third, our schools, second to
none, o f which we are, indeed,
proud. It has taken time and mon
ey to build them to their present
status, but which from now on, in
sures us o f the best educational
conditions for our children.
Fourth, some o f the industries
which have and will make Estacada
prosperous. Each year hundreds o f
boxes o f apples are packed and ship
ped to various parts of the United
States, some even going farther,
being shipped to England, where in
the London markets they are dispos
ed o f at very good prices.
Hun
dreds o f pounds o f prunes, both
green and dried, are marketed by
our farmers, for which they receive
rather fancy prices. Then we have
the small fruits, berries a£ differ
ent varieties, which are harvested in
the summer and which bring profit
both to the grower and to the boys
and girls who help to gather these
crops.
There are also a number o f peo
ple here, who have become well
known through the raising o f fine
poultry. One sees their name men
tioned frequently in poultry maga
zines o f the state, which further
goes to advertise our district.
Then, we have fox-farming, gin
seng growing; hUmbers o f acres
are also being set out each year to
nuts— walnuts, filberts, etc.— which
shows much thrift, both fo r the
present and future among our citi
zens.
And, last, but by no means least,
the power plants o f this district
Which have made our town known to
hundreds o f people all over the
world, and which from a financial
standpoint have aided in giving
numbers o f our people steady work,
and good economic conditions, thus
insuring them both comfort and
contentment
Yes, we are proud o f our com
munity. Let us all do our part in
furthering its betterment.
