Lacamas Post February 19, 1915
A son of Mr. and Mrs. Chandler of Washougal is ill with pneumonia.

John HUsby, of Oak Park, has disked his ground and is getting ready to plant 
early potatoes.

On Monday C.E.Farrell received from the Girbing ranch at Sifton a consignment 
of 79 dozen eggs, all the product of the ranch for a single week.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Frye, who have been at Powell River, B.C., for several 
months, returned on Sunday evening. Both are glad to be again in Camas.

The various little boys and girls in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Al.Edwards of 
Fern Prairie welcomed another little sister on Sunday last. The new baby 
weighed eleven pounds at birth.

The plate glass for the windows of the storeroom being fitted up by A.McDowell 
for a jewelry establishment for Mr.Kerber, arrived Saturday and was put in the 
casing Monday afternoon.

The fine garden patch at the home of Albert Killen in Oak Park was ploughed 
last Saturday, and the owner expects to have as good a crop, if not better, 
than that raised on the same tract last year by Bob Brashear.

Monday last R.J.Blair bought a band of cattle at the Portland stockyards. There 
were seventeen in the band, shorthorns and Herefords, and all were in prime 
condition. Sone of the animals are thoroughbreds and as perfect as possible.

The Heights property of Mr.Hays has been purchased by L.B.Fain, who is already 
making improvements to the residence. The first change is the addition of a big 
porch, the lumber for which was hauled from the yard by E.M.Grimes Monday.

It will be learned with regret that Irving R.Fletcher, horticultural inspector 
for this district, is suffering from pneumonia, but fortunately the attack is 
not a very severe one. Later news to the effect that Mr.Fletcher was now able 
to be up and that with care he would soon be ocmpletely recovered.
Archie Blair shot a coyote on the hill near Banfield's Tuesday forenoon.The 
dogs put the animal up close to the town limits,and a few minutes later were in 
close pursuit.As it crossed an open field Archie got a fair shot and a load of 
BB shot brought it down and placed it at the scant mercy of the dogs.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Killen, of Oak Park was visited by the stork on 
Saturday morning last at 9:30, and the population of that section was increased 
by the addition of one boy and one that promises to be just as robust as his 
little brothers.

Mrs. Cjas Johnson, who has been ill for several days, was taken to the hospital 
on Tuesday afternoon to undergo and operation ofr appendicitis.

Pete Bolin, the Portland concrete man who was foreman at the school grounds 
work here last year will soon be in Camas to remain permanently, having formed 
a co-partnership with Claude A.Knapp.

A letter from A.W.Scott, sent from San Fransisco, states that the trip by boat 
from Portland to the Bay City was an exceedingly rough one and that Mrs. Scott 
was sick almost the entire trip. Mal de mer and Mr. Scott did not become 
acquainted and he felt splendidly all the time, developing an appetite that 
threatened the commisary with depletion.

Four young men imbued with a desire to better their fortunes by a change of 
scene, left Camas at the beginning of the week, taking a North Bank train. They 
were "Whitey" Koplin, "Spot" Huycke, Everett Marker and "Red" Goodwin. It was 
stated by some of their young friends that they expressed their intentions of 
going to Walla Walla in search of employment.

Yesteray Paul Chandler, a 5 year old lad, was brought over from Washougal fro 
XRay examination by Dr. Urie.The boy had fallen a week previously and injured 
his elbow, which was believed to be sprained. The XRay, however, showed a 
fracture of the bone near the elbow joint. Dr. Urie soon had the injury reduced 
and the little fellow put on the road to recovery.

James Bybee, the venerable Mill Plain farmer, drove his Ford auto to Camas 
Saturday last, and was warmly welcomed by many friends here. Mr. Bybee is still 
enjoying good health despite his eighty odd years, and is contemplating having 
a self starter put on his machine in order that he may be entirely independent 
of help in operating the machine during the coming summer. He is the oldest 
driver in the ocunty, but as dexterous as any.
