The beauti ful mountains and great waterfalls captivate everyone. But in order that we, ourselves, may fully enjoy its mar velous beauty to the fullest extent, it is necessary that it be made possible to view it at close hand, by the develop ment of highways. Of dual importance to the people of our own state is the construction of a good highway connecting at Mo- lalla with the proposed Cascade route and the Loop high way at Sandy. This scenic route would open to develop ment some of the finest farm land in the state- Last fall a Portland paper recommended as a Sunday motor trip the Estacada Loop. On that particular day hundreds of cars made the trip. With the further devel opment of our local highway system, dozens of such trips would be possible. Tourists visiting Portland and the Northwest would enjoy one-day trips, and thousands of people would eventually be sold on Oregon. Yes, Oregon sceneiy is one of the state’s greatest as sets, but it is not being capitalized to any great extent. Our own people are not sufficiently sold on it. ----------oOo---------- Springwater community probably will again be the only one in Eastern Clackamas county to hold a fair this year. The annual fair is a big event for Springwater and a similar fail1 w ould be a good thing for every community in the county, to be held just before the county fair. It seems that farmers’ organizations are overlooking their best bet to really help themselves and their county and state. ----------oOo---------- The farmer who keeps a few sheep, a few cows, a few hogs ami a few hens and grows a few spuds, a few berries, a few prunes, a few apples, some hay and some grain, along with a good garden doesn’t have to worry an awful lot about the price of the things he needs to buy or has to sell. ----------oOo---------- Oregon City’s “ round-up" show for July Fourth will have good band music. The management has seen to this by employing the best band in the countv to supply it. A deal was made with the Estacada Band Monday night for their services three days, July 3, 4 and 5. ----------oOo---------- Indications are that there will be considerable build ing undertaken in the Estacada Lake district this summer. Sandy district, and the communities along the Loop high way up the mountains will probably see more building ac tivity this summer than ever before. ----------oOo---------- Abraham Lincoln’s famous quotation may be slightly changed to apply to Estacada schools— You can please all the people some o f the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can’t please all the people all the time. * • * * * * Calvin A.
