SANDY PLUG MILL CLOSESi
PLANT IS MOVED TO TOLEDO
Frank Bittner, who operated one of
the most lucrative plants in Sandy
for about thirteen years, has moved
most of the machinery to his new
plant at Toledo, Ore., and Sandy has
lost an important industry, due large­
ly to the fact that most of the imme­
diate hardwood timber has been cut
out. It is said that Bittner has suf­
ficient timber at Toledo to make
plugs for 30 years.

Imagine how Mrs. Merle Tice felt
as she was going home from the mail
box at Marmot Friday when she spied

Mrs. Tice did not stop to argue but
grabbed her four-year-old child and
ran. Hunters failed to locate the
big cat.
Charles L. Tooley of Woodland,
Wash., formerly of Estacada, was
awarded a judgement for $12000 by
a jury in Judge Ekwall's court in
Portland Wednesday, as the result of
an injury he received in January of
last year, when he was injured while
riding in a bus operated by the S. P.
& S. company?
Wallace Smith of Estacada was the
attorney for the plaintiff, and was
assisted by Colonel A. E. Clark of
Portland. Dr. W. W. Rhodes of Es­
tacada, who treated Mr. Tooley for
his injuries, was the principal wit­
ness for the plaintiff. The case was
bitterly contested by the attorneys
for the defendants, and expert tes­
timony was called in connection with
X-ray pictures showing the extent
of the injury. The case lasted three
days and is considered a very im­
portant victory for Wallace Smith,
who worked up the entire case
against the bus company.
