H, Beam, a former Pen dletonian, but recently of Portland, has purchased a one-half interest in the Main street Livery and Sale stables, and will hereafter give the business his personal attention. Mr. Beam is a thorough business man, possessing a geniality that will make him many friends. For sev eral months he has been in the newspaper field in Portland. His wife and little daughter are here, and they take up their residence in the city at onco. The Motor Project. Some Portland parties sre con templating the building of a motor line lieiween that city and Hills boro. The company in question has secured the right-of-way to Cedar Mill and will at once extend the Barnes' Heights electric line to that place. From there the line will be built to this city, provided any encouragement can be obtained from our business men. The idea, as near as can be ascertained, is to build here on the offering of a sub sidy, whii'h need not be paid un til the line is completed. Just the amount asked is not known at present, but will be made public in a short time. Mr. W. F. Nelson, a prominent young contractor of Portland, was in the city the first of the week, looking over the sit uation, and will return in a few davs with a definite proposition. The benefits to be accrued from the building of such a line are too manifold to detail. In the first place it will place a lower rate of passenger fares to and fro and this will work a benefit in more ways than one. Then a reduction i.i freight rates will follow. It will bring investors into the county, thereby cutting up some of our mammoth farms. There is room and productive capacity here for double the present population, and there can be no doubt as to what effect manifold transportation facil ities will have in this regard. Un less the terms are entirely 'out of reason it will behoove the business men of the county to see the road built'beie, and its early consumnH tion is eagerly looked for by all pro gressive people. Gratifying. While the recent panic has tied up thousands of dollars in litigation, within the confines of the stiUp, and many business houses which were supposed to hi' ve been on a solid basis have gone to the wall the mercantile and banking institutions 'f Washington county have weath ered the storm, coming out of the depression in a manner gratifying to the public. In the last few years neitberin this city nor Forest Grove, the two principle towns of the coun ty, have there been any business failures which in any manner af fected trade relations. True, times have been very close, and realty has been at a standstill, but the fact that no failures of consequence have oceured speaks well for the shrewd conservatism of our business classes, and shows conclusively that the community on a whole is a safe one, and one in which wild cat movements do not obtain. While prices have been low, and markets very dull, foreclosures have been less frequent here, perhaps, than in any other county in the state. This suson will do much to lessen the number of forced collections, for a bounteous harvest is now being gathered. Prices are brighter than last year, farmers feel better, and the business outlook is generally clearer than for 6ome years. With the county's prime financial condi tion, and the well-filled granaries throughout the section, people nre encouraged to the belief that a brighter future is in store for them. week. The Sheriff of Benton coun ty had shadowed him for two or three days, and with the assistance of our ollicers he was nabbed and placed in the-county jail. On be ing searched 23 keys were found on his person, besides two or three burnt 5 cent pieces, showing con clusively that he had been experi menting with the coin of the realm. In his vest pocket was found the plate, containing the name of the manufacturer of the vehicle, and upon searching the barn where he was stopping they recovered a set of harness which he had also pur loined. He had put the top of l lie stolen rig on another vehicle, and made various changes. It is sup posed that young Cornell is about 25 years of age. He has been under surveillance for many months, as he is suspected of being connected with the worst gang of thieves in this section. The evidence of his recent theft seems conclusive, and Sheriff Osburn is naturally well pleased with the capture. - Another Exodus, This and last weeks have seen a considerable number of Washington county people depart for the coast's salt breeze, or the mountains' cool ing shades. The fires, however, in the hills, have prevented much of an exodus to those favorite haunts, and in consequence Newport and Tillamook have received large re inforcements to their resortcrs. On Monday, two parties left this city for Netarts, one composed of Messrs. and Mesdames C. B. Brown and Max Crandall and Mr. . las. Young, the other of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hare and son, and Mr. and Mrs. John Hay, of Portland. The trip will be made by team and a royal good time is anticipated. Tbos. Stewart, accompanied by little Miss Ethel Wehrung, lelt for Newport the first of the week. Yellowstone Excursion, Under the management of Dr. Roland 1). Grant, one of Portland's leading ministers, there will be an excursion parly leave Portland on September 2nd, to visit the wonder land of America, the Yellowstone Park.

The fires in the mountain regions back of Forest Grove, Gules Creek and Greenville are somewhat abat ed, but not so until great damage has been done to homesteaders. Much valuable timber has been de stroyed, and many little ranches have lost nearl v theentire summer's work. It is reported that one man lost A large number of sheep, and another, some cattle, but the rumors generally lack comfirmation. The report that lives have been lost has been contradicted. These annual fires in the dry season have been a great menace to the settlers in the timber, and while this is the only season to successfully burn slashing, it would appear that great care should be exercised. Once started the flames know no rest, devastat ing forests, fences, settler's cabins and buildings in a mannerappalling to industry. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. North, who once lived in this city will be pleased to learn that they were tak en out of the fire in safety. Will Soon Organize. Next month sometime the old soldiers of the Rebellion will organ ize a post in this city. They al ready have a membership of 41 signed and it bids fair to be the largest G. A. It. organization on the west side. Doubtless many who affiliate with Forest Grove and Beaverton will come into this or ganization. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. Sheriff D. A. Osburn, of Cor vallis, spent two or three days in t his city the first of the week, enjoy the hospitalities of Sheriff Ford. Mr. Osburn has twice been elected on the democratic ticket to Benton county's shrievalty, and, strange to say, is a good democrat yet.
