Financial support is necessary to stage a big celebration and the indi cations are now that the funds need ed will be forthcoming.

The fireworks have all ready been ordered, and will consist) o f a display lasting from an hour and a half to two hours. It will be one o f the fin es'. displays ever seen in this part of the country. The Estacada band is planning a number o f trips during the time be tween now and the Fourth for the purpose o f advertising the show and large posters will be out within the ne::t two or three days, which will be conspicuously placed throughout the eastern part o f the county and on the highways out from town. The parade, judging from the num ber who have pledged floats, will be an interesting event. A fine program o f sports is being arranged for the entertainment o f those who enjoy them, and a big double-header base ball game will entertain the fans dur ing the afternoon. The street dance at night will be ar. enjoyable event for everyone wi.ether they dance or not. Good music throughout the day will also be a feature.

In field tests made on the George and Harry Kohl farms at Logan, and the Edward Shearer farm at Spring- water, lime has been shown to be the esential factor for the production of alfalfa.

Mr. and Mrs. Yocum were the re cipients o f many beautiful presents, including a large chair which the guests insisted that the modest bride and groom both occupy. Flowers were in profusion, which added beauty, col or and sentiment to the happy occa sion. Mr. and Mrs. Yocum have been highly respected residents o f this community for a number o f years, living on their home place in the Gar field district. Just a few months ago they decided to retire from active work and moved to Estacada where Mr. Yocum has been identified with the Estacada State Bank as vice pres ident, and president o f the local Tel ephone and Telegraph company for a number o f years. ________________ HARRY HARTLEY KILLED IN EXPLOSION A T U N IO N O F C L U B S M E E T M rs.

SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY opponents. The game Sunday is lia ble to be a close contest, some o f the local fellows having expressed the opinion that theer was not a better team in the league than the Wash ougal nine. There will be several home games now before the Estacada club goes on the road again. On June 24 two games are scheduled to be played on the local field, and on July Fourth, there will also be a double header if present plans work out. The Armory o f Portland has gone to camp and will be away for two weeks. The manager o f their club in formed Estacada several weeks ago that they would be unable to fill their date here on the 24th, so a game with an independent team was scheduled. At a meeting of the league officials Monday night it was agreed to substi tute a team for the Armory for two games, and this accounts for the dou ble bill on the 24th. On account o f rain last Sunday the Barracks game was postponed and the Barracks offered to come to Es tacada on the Fourth. A game has been scheduled for that date with Boring, so two games will probably be played during the celebration. There will be at least three new men in Estacada’s lineup next Sun day. Reed, a new receiver, will come out from Portland. Al. Weinel, late of O. A. C., who played the third sack for the frosh the past season, will be in the lineup, and Art Free man, an infielder from Twin Falls of the Utah-Idaho league, arrived in Es tacada Wednesday and will probably play second base Sunday, Tony Bron son going to shortstop. Bill Fischer, who was with the club every game played this year except one, and who went to Hoquiam in the Timber league last week, writes that he may return here next week. V isit D ale H om e Mrs. Vida Stubbs and son Edward o f Gresham arrived in Estacada Tues day evening to visit Mrs. Stubb’s par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dale, and other relatives.
