Kasper
Wheeler was instantly
killed Tuesday evening at the W. E.
Gilbert mill at Faraday when he was
thrown into a saw. The top o f his
head was cut off.
The accident happened about 9:30
in the evening. He was working on
the night shift with several other
men and had remarked just a short
time before the accident that the
place was too dangerous and that he
was going to quit Saturday.
Witnesses said that he seemed to
have been struck by a piece o f wood
and thrown near the saw and his
hand was caught and it seemed that
he was jerked into the machine from
this contact with the saw. A doctor
was called immediately but Wheeler
died instantly.
He had resided in this community
fo r a number o f years, but very little
is known o f his family.
A deputy
sheriff from Oregon City went thru
his effects at the house where he
lived, but could find no address o f
relatives.
It is said, however, that
he has a sister living in Pennsylvania,
one in Kansas, and a brother in
Switzerland where Kasper was born.
He was about 65 years old and came
to this country many years ago.
L. A. Chapman, local mortician
took charge o f the body and the fun­
eral commitment took place Thurs­
day afternoon at 2 o’clock, at the I.
O. O. F. cemetery, Estacada.

“ The Old Frontier,”
the great
Oregon pageant piav is to be given
ag..in this year at Gladstone Chau­
tauqua park, July 24, 25 and 26.
This fine historical event will be pre­
sented on the evening o f these dates
beginning at 8 o ’clock and is under
the auspices o f all the community
bodies o f Oregon C ity nnd Gladstone.
The park will be open at 4 p. m. and
that will give an opportunity fo r cars
to enter, take picnic dinner and be
on hand fo r the play.
The story o f McLoughlin and thej
many characters o f those days is
very definitely told in eight episodes
along with the wonderful frontier
music by a large chorus. Some 300
participants -are enrolled this year,
and that it will be an unusually at
tractive entertainment seems cer­
tain. The admission is but 50 cents
and 25 cents fo r children.
Church Service Enjoyed
The service o f songs at the M. E.
church Sunday evening proved an
innovation to those who participated
and the evening was enjoyed by all
present. Miss Ruth Dillon had the
program in charge and favorite
hymns were sung and interesting bits
regarding the writing or history were
given. Am ong those who gave talks
were Mrs. G. E. Lawrence, Mrs. Mary
Smith, W. H. Grabeel, Mrs. J. G.
Hayman and others.
Mr. Hayman
gave a history o f the Methodist hym­
nal now in use in most o f the church­
es and Mrs. Harry Kitching sang her
favorite song.
Miss Ethel Hayman
was the organist.
Here from California
Miss Johanna Lichthorn and sister-
in-law, Mrs. A lb ert
Lichthorn, ar­
rived the latter part o f last week
from
Northern California.
Mr*.
Lichthorn came back to see her moth­
er, Mrs. P. S. Stamp, who is very ill
in a Portland hospital.
Legion Dance at Eagle Creek
Carl Douglass post o f the Am eri­
can Legion is giving a dance at the
