A. A. PRICE
STATE REPRESENTATIVE
Below we print a clipping from
the Canby Herald, on the candidacy
of A1 Price as a representative of
the people of Clackamas county.
We have known A1 for a number
of years, and no man in Clackamas
county is better qualified to repre
sent the people of his district than
he is. One of honor, integrity and
ability, and will fight for the right
of his constituency.
A REAL BUSINESS MAN
To the older residents of Clack
amas county the life of A. A. Price,
Democratic candidate for represen
tative in the legislature, is an open
book, showing his
development
from young manhood to mature
years; from a position of obscurity
to one of prominence; from com
parative moderate means to reason
able affluence, and on no page of
that book is there a line that his
friends would have obliterated. In
later years his counsel and advice
have always been sought in com',
mercial and social affairs of his
home town, Oregon City, and valu
ed, and his judgment on matters of
importance has been invariably
sound.
Should he be elected to represent
the people of this county in the leg
islature they will have a good lis
tener and a good business adviser;
a sane, sound and sensible business
man, safe as to our financial system,
reasonable in all requirements, but
unyielding to the demand for pro
tection to American ideals of right
living. A wholesome man of good
physical proportions. A just and
able and honest man.
A1 Price is not rich, except in
generosity, but his commercial suc
cess has given him a competence.
The big thing about him is his un
failing common sense, and his
marked
ability to
listen
to
others and promptly reach wise de
cisions out of the conflict of opin
ions.
Those who know him most
intimately thinks he fits the need
of the hour and the position he
seeks upon request of his many
friends throughout the state.
Mr. Price is outspoken relative to
his position on public problems and
he has no hesitation in expressing
himself along these lines either
privately or publicly. He is a busi
ness man and always deals with
public matters in a business way,
making no attempt to dodge or
straddle an issue. He is a business
man thorough and complete, and
the opportunity to send a real busi
ness man to the legislature is now
before the people of this county.

DOGS POISONED
ROAD WORK RUSHED
Several dogs in this community
were poisoned on Saturday and Sun
day; whether accidentally or other
wise it is not known.
However, it was, indeed, sad to
think such a thing should occur, for
if anyone wishes to get rid of ani
mals there are much more humane
ways than by poisoning.
There is a possibility, however,
that this poisoned food was scattered
about for rats, but if such was the
cae, the owners of dogs should have
been notified.
Some of the dogs died very sud
denly and no help could be given
them, but the Airdale belonging to
Mr. Ray Johnson was taken to the
hospital and is getting along very
well.
The County Court is rushing work
on the market road between Carver
and Estacada. This piece of road
will be a great benefit to Estacada
as it makes a first class piece of
highway through to Portland and
Oregon City.
Our citizens have Judge Cross to
thank for this road as much as any
one, as he was instrumental in the
initiation of the plan which has
made it a reality.

FINE AUTO
(By Elmer M. Colder)
You often read in the newspapers
; bout Dinty Moore, and how Jugs
gets in bad with his irate wife when
he attempts to visit “Dinty Moore’s”.
Wei!, Dinty Moore of Eagle Creek is
running a somewhat different place
of business than the Dinty Moore of
eastern fame, but no doubt he is as
progressive, even though not as dar
ing, as that old Dinty in the eastern
city.
We’ll call him J. M. Moore, as
that’s his name, and if you’d like to
kr.ow just how to find his place, just
turn east from Clackamas station
and go to Carver—keep on the north
side of the river and go through
Barlow and Eagle Crc-k, watching
the road signs as you go along, as
you'll see several of them telling
about “Dinty Moore” and his auto
camp. You will find this wonder

Creek stores on the main highway

Creek, the creek runs right through
the 40-acre tract belonging to Dinty.

for little folks, fountains, and mind
yon, the water comes from a won

that people of the cities take some
home in bottles and jars for a treat,
as it is better than city water, so
they say.
Every man, woman and child call

opened up business his friends p r-

and he saw fit to name his camp
