ESTACADA LAKE AN ASSET
“ The development of Estacada Lake district as now
being undertaken means a lot to the people of Estacada,
whether they know it or not,” said Fred L. Proctor of
Sandy while viewing the park Tuesday afternoon.
A
large number of cottages have already been built on lots
sold last year, and it is known that a iarge number are to
be erected this spring. Further development of the pro
perty on the west side of the river is expected to start
within a short time.
Mr. Proctor knows what the tourist business has
meant to Sandy, and also the business coming to his town
by reason of the summer cottages having been built
along the Loop highway in the vicinity of Sandy. The
owners of the cottages as a rule have money to spend and
this class of business is more to be desired than the tour
ists who travel the main highways.

CHICAGO COMPARATIVELY SAFE CITY
Chicago seems to have it all over some cities of the
country in number of homicides, regardless of all the
jokes that are cracked about the wicked city with its ma
chine-gun-armed underworld.
Figures for 1028 recently made public, covering 136
cities and 36,000,000 people indicate an average homicide
rate of 10.2 per 100,000 persons. Memphis leads in kill
ings, with 60.5 per 100,000, while the rate for Los Ange
les was 4.7. Quite a number of Southern cities were over
30, while Chicago’s rate was only 15.8. New York was far
below the country’s average, being only 6.7 per 100,000
inhabitants.
It is estimated that in the whole United States there
were 12,000 homicides in 1928, while probably less than
200 killers were executed.

Washington society will probably settle down to nor
malcy again, now that Mrs. Gann is to be extended the
same courtesies as if she were the wife, instead of sister,
o f Vice President Curtis. However, this matter probably
furnishes the league of nations supporters some degree of
satisfaction. The affair was finally satisfactorily ad
justed by European diplomats.

The building committee took a
trip over the Loop highway last week
to view some o f the log buildings
erected by Lenz Brothers of Sandy,
who are submitting plans and specifi
cations for the Legion building in Es
tacada. They seem pretty well sold
on the leg house idea, and reports
from the Portland Telegram, which
is interesting itself in the new build
ing and is donating a part o f the lots,
indicate that this type of building
wou'd be highly approved by them.
The Auxiliary has increased its
membership by several within the
last weeks, which is gratifying to the
members o f the post. The ladies
have shown in every possible way
their willingness to co-operate with
the post, and are entitled to at least
half the credit for the success of Carl
Douglass post. More power to them!
Next Monday evening is the date
o f the monthly social meeting o f
the two organizations.
Cards will
probably be mailed out calling at
tention to the meeting. It is likely
that all members o f the post read this
column each week, and that in the
future it will be unnecessary to go to
the expense of sending out cards for
each meeting.
Legionnaires are urged to send in
items o f interest for this column. It
