This upplies to every citizen in this city, that city and every
other city in this land. Any community o f people worthy o f hold
ing a charter to conduct such an organization and wherein not
enough pride is displayed to see to it that their cit£ is not kept as
a whole as presentable to thu eye as their own home, had better
not undertake to run a city at all for they are making an ugly blot
upon what nature made beautiful before. What is meant is, that
the streets of Estacada should be kept clean, no unsightly refuse
or rubbish should be allowed to accumulate, sidewalks should be
kept in repair, all alleys and vacant lots not made a place for
dumping offensive garbage
ramshackle shacks should be torn
down or repaired, painted and made presentable, store fronts
should be kept clean and show windows in .so far as the owner or
occupant has talent and art made attractive to every passerby.
Nothing so impresses a stranger visiting the city as a proper atten
tion to all these details on the part o f the citizens and business
men. And it is just as easy and as much a matter o f good taste
to keep our streets presentable by a display of civic pride as it is
to keep one’s person so that he is not ashamed of himself. The
tourist season of 192(5 is approaching and indications are that it
will be geater than any preceeding years. The city of Estacada Is
beautifully located among the hills, easily reached from Portland
by only about an hour’s drive. It has a good hotel, a fine park for
picnic purposes, some excellent fishing may be had in the vicinity,
and there is no valid reason why we should not welcome very
many people during the season. For that reason we would urge
upon every resident to rouse his civic pride, put his own place In
proper order and co-operate with the city officials to see that this
municipality be put in such splendid shape that all will fesl a just
pride in it themselves, and that the stanger and visitor who comer
once may come again and carry away with him u picture o f the
clean, progressive and not soon to be forgotten community. We
shall find it to be a paying investment.

Clever Operetta Well
Received By Audience
On last Thursday evening at tho
high school auditorium the children
o f the lower grades o f the school
presented a .clever operette entitled
"Petr Rabbit.”
The leading characters were ta
ken by Donald Moore as Peter
Rabbit, Jean and Louise Dykeman
us Flopsy and Mopsy, Hugh Has-
sel as Cottontail, Richard Carter as
Farmer McGregor and Wanda Car
ter as Mother Rabbit.
A large and very attentive audi
ence witnessed the presentation o f '
this play and each act was re
ceived with much enthusiasm, and
termed this entertainment one of
the finest ever given by the local
schools.
The
costumes and
characters
were well chosen, the little girls in
the lettuce dance being admired es
pecially. However, each and every
child did well und should be proud
of their part in such a splendid
program.
The teachers who sponsored this
play should indeed be congratulated
for heir talent in training their chil
dren to such proficiency, and the
district should be proud o f the fact
that such efficient teachers have
ben chosen as leaders for their chil
dren. In every respect the enter
tainment was u big success.
BIRTHDAY PARTY

A lovely lunch consisting o f fruit

Mr. Steinman'« sister, Mrs.

w.th candies. (The number was not
