Remember the time, 8 o clock In the

Land Development
May be Taken Up
SANDY, Dec 16 A business man
from over In Washington was In
town dulmg the week who was talk
ing the development ot logged off
lands as a coming Industry In the
Northest At present he and some
associates are planning to buy ten
thousand acres from milling com
panies in Washington, having it
cleared and then, sell It oft In small
facts for homes and small mill
farms. There Is no city In the north
west that has such a small producing
country around It as Seattle, and
prices are still high there .though
times are very dull, and the open In
of this land may help local condi
tions there. Portland is growing, and
is destined to need greater produc
tion all the time, and the logged off
land in Oregon must be considered
as the country fills up. Sandy wilt
not have saw mills many years to
keep the hum of industry heard In
these parts, and It behooves us to
look forward toward a move of somo
kind to get more acreage here fo:
farming and berry planting and the
like. Long sighted vision should be
used now!
Wheat is still being held by the
famers over in the Spokane country
acco'dlng to a visitor who was hero
this week; though It Is predicted lit
tie will be gained by so doing.
Potatoes are being held, also, for
higher prices around here, as well
as for a market!
Sany Council Puts
on Health Officer
SANDY, Dec. 16. Probably the last
Council meeting under the direction
of otr present Mayor, Blanchto K.
Shelley, was held one night last
week. With Mayor Shelley's retire
ment, the time of Mrs R. T. Esson
and B. E. Sykes as Councllmen, ex
pi ea also. Mayor Shelley, as with
other mayors of small towns, has had
small funds with which to work, and
no great things can be accomplished
without some expenditures. Futher
more, no great things can be done in
a small locality without a spirit ot
unity, and when each citizen feels a
personal interest in how his town
looks, In what It needs, and helps
to study It's needs, and feel a pride
In what strangers think as they come
in, or pans, through, then a mayor
and his helpers can really get down
to business and do things worth
while. In the hlghe rsense all ot
humanity Is Just one family why not
olok out for the general needs ot a
town as well as merely one's own
family needs!
The City Council at it's last meet
ing apopinted Dr. H. B. Lawton as
