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.

J J ' ^ 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.
