VOLUME XXXVI ESTACADA, OREGON, Over 200 People at Dedication . — - NEW SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH DEDICATED W ITH FITTIN G CEREMONIES Last Saturday, December 6 the new Seventh-day Adventist church a Estacada was dedicated with appro, priate ceremonies with an attendance o f over 200 people. Principal speaker on the program was Elder Armstrong president o. the eastern division. The dedication p iayer was presented by Elder Ander son, president o f the Oregon confer ence. There were also special musi cal numbers on the program. History of the Church Following is a history o f the Esta cada Seventh-Day Adventist church as presented at the dedication cere monies. The first beginning was a home Sabbath school conducted in upper Garfield, also one at Eagle Creek from the yeais 1920 to 1932. Then Elder J. J. Rippey rented the Odd Fellow halt in Estacada and held some well attended meetings with Mr. Tompkins as song leader. Elder R ip pey baptized around 22 members and with others who had moved into the community he organized the first Seventh Day Adventist church with 30 members. The Tracy school house was bought fo r a m eeting place. As time went on the church grew so that the Sabbath school member ship reached 92. This made the Tra_ cy school too small to take care o f the children properly so it was decid ed to build a church in Estacada, more centraly located. W A T E R HIGH IN C LA C K A M A S RIVER The Clackamas river rose to its highest level in several years with the advent o f last weeks heavy rains. The rainstorms in the Clackamas gorge above Estacada w ere even more severe than those in the city and immediate vicinity .The river nearly reached the flood stage at some points on the road particularly at South Foik. The bridge at South Fork which was built and was being used by the Oregon City water shed administration was completely de molished by floating debris. This de bris aided and propelled by the ter rific force o f the raging waters very shortly accomplished the total de struction o f the bridge. Some dam age was also inflicted upon the high way between Estacada and Three Links by the recent rains. Some mud slides and one or two small rock slides loosened by the rain descended upon the road, in like manner hun dreds o f boulders large and small crashed onto the road.
