EASTERN Discouraged Schools Poultry Men Will Meet Last Saturday Clackamas county school teachers at their institute at Estacada were told that in the county as a whole are 90 one-room schoolhouses. The little red school- house still has its day in a portion o f Oregon close to Portland. Where one-room buildings hold all grades it means the country is sparsely settled. Farms on the rolling hills west o f the Cascade range are dotted here and there in the fir forest that yields sullenly to the coming o f the plow. Dr. W. T. Johnson, poultry path ologist, and H. E. Cosby, poultry specialist, representatives o f the ex tension service department o f O. A. C., will be among the speakers o f the day at what will probably be one o f the most important poultry meetings of Clackamas county, scheduled fo r Tuesday, February 23, to be held at the Maplewood grange hall o f Barlow. "Feeding and Brooding o f the 1926 Crop o f Chicks,” will be the subject o f Mr. Cosby, who will open the morning session at 10:00 o’clock and Dr. W. T. Johnson will talk on “ Chicken Diseases” at 11:00 o ’clock. A luncheon will be served at 12:00 o ’clock by the women of Bar- low, and those desiring to take their own lunch are to be served with coffee. The afternoon’s program will be gin at 1 :20 o ’clock, when Mr. Cos by will give a second address per taining to the poultry industry. This topic will be “ Problems Con fronting the Pouitrymen.” A t 2:30 o ’clock Dr. W. T. John son will talk on diseases o f Laying Stock, and their Treatm ent” As many farmers o f Clackamas county are this year carrying on the poultry industry as a side line to the general farm work, the meet ing has been arranged by W. A. Holt, county agent, especially for these men and~the""poultry~ fanciers*. From 3:30 to 4:00 o ’clock there will be a round table o f questions pertaining to poultry breeding. Invitations have been extended to Marion, Multnomah and Clack- amas counties as well as the other counties nearby, where poultry raising is an important industry. Now and again will be found fields once cultivated in which trees and brush are growing again Houses once tennanted have lost their paint and are gray beneath the rain and sun. Here the job of winning the west as hillside homes is proved to have been too much. Something estopped success. Some burden was too heavy to bear. Do you wonder that the teachers in Clackamas county stormily ap plauded the proposal to request the state income tax? For the burden that is too much for the farmer and causes desertion o f the farm is, in Clackamas county as in other counties, the burden o f cost as com pared with the production and pro fit. It is the burden o f tax, the tax placed almost exclusively on land and on home and on produc tion. The one-room school is a sign of the pioneer era, the symbol of sturdy intent to provide the advan tages that will give the next genera tion a better chance. Ninety one- room schools on the naturally fertile lands o f Clackamas county within a few miles o f the great Portland markets, seaport, indus trial and transportation center tell a tale thftt cannot be refuted. The power to tax is truly the power to destroy agriculture and to handi cap education. And what is the ultimate profit to the incomes that evade share in the support o f gov ernment and the encouragement of education? Special interest was given the speaker by directors and teachers. There should be a Dana to address all high schools in the county at least once a month. The following is a partial list o f those attending the institute: Nancy Gavin, Jeanette H.

CLACKAMAS NEWS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18 / News from the Neighboring Towns ECHOES FROM THREE LINKS Three Links is progressing. We have been known as just "Camp 8” but everyone in our little city has been so active that it is not a camp any longer. Since the first o f the year Three Links has organized and has a community club house with a good dance floor and where we have the very best o f times when we get together every two weeks. We hope to gradually build our com munity hall up until it will be the pride o f everyone o f us. Then too, we have our little school o f which we are all justly proud, due to the teacher, Miss Mary E. Christianson, and hard work. There are ten pupils which have their little club that meets at the community hall every Wednesday evening. The ladies o f the community are busy too. They are organizing the “ 3 B’s” club whose work will con sist o f helping the community in any way it can. This club meets every Thursday afternoon. The “ 3 B's” club was entertained by Mrs. R. J.

B. Snyder and Chester A. Dykeman under the firm name o f the Peoples store has been disolved. Mr. Snyder has bought the interest o f Mr. Dykeman and becomes sole owner o f the business and will no doubt run by the same name as heretofore. Mr. Snyder, we understand, will assume all in debtedness and collect all accounts due the Peoples store. H. B. Snyder has been ir^ busi ness in Estacada for a number of years and is well known as a thor ough going business man and is well thought o f as a man o f integrity. He understands the merchandising business and expects to make some changes in the near future. Mr. Dykeman who goes out will most likely seek some other locality and venture in a similar business, He has made many friends while he has been here, and is respected and looked upon as an honest upright business man o f ability. The good will of the News goes with Mr. Dykeman in any venture and wish him every success. How ever we will look for him back some day. The most exemplary character that ever adorned vny era in history and who received in his lifetime the noble appelation o f “ the Founder o f the Republic” and "the Father o f His Country," was born in West moreland county, Virginia, on the 22nd day of February, 1732, ex actly 194 years ago next Monday. His early instruction was domes tic and scanty, but full of good discipline and sound principles. And as his father died when he was only ten years old, he had no subsequent opportunities for acquiring a thor ough literary or scientific education. HEIPLE-LINCOLN NUPTIALS On February 8, Miss Marie Heiple and Mr. Harry Lincoln were quietly married at Oregon City. Mrs. Lincoln is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Heiple o f Cur rinsville and a very popular member o f the younger set in this commun ity. Mr. Lincoln is a California man but has been working in and around Estacada for the P. E. P. Co., in the construction o f high-tension power lines for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln are resid ing in Portland. The News joins with their many friends in this community in wishing them a long and happy wedded life. BRIDGE PARTY Mrs. H. C. Gohring and Mrs. A. E. Sparks were joint hostesses at a delightful bridge party on Thurs day evening at the home o f the for mer. The occasion was the birth day anniversary o f Messrs. Gohring and Sparks and the wedding anni versary o f the Gohrings. Those in attendance were Messrs, and Mesdames Hurry Smith, Bob Cook, Jacques, Midford, Gohring, Sparks and Mrs. Currin. Mrs. Mid ford was winner of high score, the prize being a beautiful cyclamen plant and Mrs. Smith held low score. A most delicious lunch was served at the close of the evening. THE FIRE-EATER Mussolini is still rattling the sword and snorting fire, ile is go ing to advance on Germany, he says, lie will have nothing to do with the league of nations. He will fight the world if the world doesn’t look out. And so he marches on. Once upon a time there was an emporer of Germany. He rattled the sword. He snorted fire. He snorted fire, lie would huve nothing to do with the Hague. He would light the world too, if the world did n’t look out. / The world didn't look out very well. It went on about its business until the emporer threw down the gauntlet once too many times. The emporer is now in isolation in Doern and his nation has become a repub lic, the people electing their own representatives and officials. So much for the international side of Mussolini’s tempest. But there is another more serious side from the standpoint o f Ameri can investors. Our government ne gotiated a debt settlement with the Mussolini government. It let Italy o ff with a payment to this country o f approximately $5,000,000 a year with much greater obligations to come after a long period o f years. When Mussolini secured that settle ment, he gave little to this country. But he did establish his credit, some thing which he badly needed to strengthen his own position in his own land. Then he promptly bor rowed $100,000,000 from American investors. Our financial operations with the Mussolini government strengthened Mussolini, they helped us little, and they gave the Italian fire-eater the dollars o f American investors with which to promote his fire-eating policies. And Mussolini is building fires.— Oregon Journal. However as his mind was natural ly mathematical and philosophical, he prepured himself to be useful to his fellow citizens as a civil en gineer. And as the country was wild and most of it unsurveyed, he occasionally found agreeable and profitable employment in surveying parts o f h:s native state. He also directed much o f his attention to the science of arms, in the use o f which every young man was insti ucted in order to re pel the incursions o f the Indians, who were often led on by skilled Frenchmen. At the age o f 19 he was appointed one of the adjutant generals of Virginia, which gave him rank of a major. Soon after he was advanced to the colonelcy, and sent by governor Dinwiddie to the Ohio with dispatches to the French Commander, who was erect ing fortifications from Canada to New Orleans in violation of existing treaties. The governor was so much pleased with the faithful discharge o f this duty that he ordered his journal which extended to only 80 days to be printed, but small as it was it ufforded evidence of great sagacity, fortitude, and sound judgment and firmly laid the foun dation o f his future fame. In the Spring of 1755 Washing ton was persuuded to accompany general Braddock as and with rank o f a colonel in his disasterou3 ex pedition against Fort DuQuesne; and had his advice been followed on Glut occasion the result would have been different. Three years afterwards Washing ton commanded the Virginians in another expedition against the fort which terminated successfully. At the close o f this campaign he left the army and was soon after married to Mrs. Martha C urtis,,the widow o f Col. Daniel Park Curtis, whose maiden name was Dandridge and whose intelligent and patriotic conduct as wife and widow will ever be gratefully remembered in Amer ican history. He was chairman of the Consti tutional convention in 1787 and wag unanimously elected the first presi dent o f the United States for four years and was elected afterwards to succeed himself. Dec. 12, 1779, he was seized with inflamation of the throat, and died on the 14th, at the age o f 68 years. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY John Stortner and wife celebrat ed their fortieth wedding anniver sary Tuesday. Plates were laid for the following friends and relatives: Jas. Sh.bley and family, L. S. Ten- ny and family, Elmer Dibble and lamily, Barney Showberg and wife, Oral Stormer and Wife, Vernie nuus and wife, Will Bard and wife, ail o f Estacada, and S. F. Anderson and wife o f Salem, Oregon. i'he dinner was one to make an Epicurean wish his cupncily was very much larger. Many stories were told which help to make the history o f Estucada and surround ings. All went away feeling much better for the good time enjoyed. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT With the P. E. P. Co., making another cut in the passenger train service and the freight train run ning on only three days in the week, it seems as if the people o f Estacada and vicinity had nearly qeserted one o f their most reliable and dependable servants, who have so faithfully served them ever since the town was first started. It is certainly to be hoped that a ook into the future will not reveal a town devoid o f ample rail facil ities, that most essential require ment o f prospective industrial en terprises, a few o f which this town and commercial club would like so much to see. This problem could be easily sol ved if the people and merchants would give them their support, that support which no one can intelli gently argue they are not entitled to.
