which serves Garfield, Porter, Fir-

Ridge communities. There are 190
members in the Northeast Clackamas

Merger Is Considered
The merger of the Northeast
Clackamas Electric Co-op system
with a second project designed to
serve 200 or more rural homes in
the Scotts Mills section is now being
considered.
C. J. Sandstrom president of the
power co-op reported at the meeting

Washington, D. C., was expected this
week to survey the proposed expan­
sion plan. He said that the Scotts
Mills area already had organized and

at Estacada in the Masonic building.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN REGISTRATION BEING TAKEN
WILL CLASH WITH BRUISERS FOR COUNTY DEFENSE UNIT
FROM CANBY AT CANBY
AT EAGLE CREEK
Another important football game
in the Big Nine league is scheduled
to be played this afternoon, Friday,
October 17 on the Canby grid when
the Estacada Rangers clash with the
Canby Cougars.
The Rangers have been sort of
“out of luck” with their home games
and perhaps may emerge with a bet­
ter showing after the Canby set to.
Last Friday afternoon the Sandy
Pioneers scored an easy victory over
Estacada on the local field winning
by a score of 34 to 0. The Sandy
lads are tough and fart but nobody
expected them to be that tough.
Three more Big Nine league
games remain for the Estacada Ran­
gers after their argument today with
Canby, namely the game with Silver-
ton at Estacada next Friday, Octo.
ber 24; the tilt with the Motella
Buckeroos at Molalla October 31;
and the scrap with their ancient ri­
vals the Gresham Gophers which will
take place at Gresham on Novem­
ber 14. The game between Estacada
and Gresham has always been held
on Armistice day in previous years
but this season has been moved up
to November 14th.
A class in first aid under direction
of the Oregon civil reserve will be
held in the Eagle Creek dance hall
next Tuesday evening, October 21 at
8 o’clock. Similar classes will be con­
ducted every Tuesday evening until
the course is completed.
Everybody who can is urged to
take this filet aid course and also
to enroll in the Clackamas county
civilian defense organization .Blanks
for enrollment are at the Eagle Creek
Inn and the Eagle Creek store where
you may register.
