first of the wetk and stated that
his company can place the balance
of the bonds in the East just as
soon as they sell $100,000 at home
as a guarantee that the project is
feaible. Mr. Graydon thinks that
Portland will take car; of half of
this and he will endeavor to have
Washington county farmers take
the other half, along the line of the

Wm. Tompkins, more familiarly
known as "Bill Tompkins" in the
palmy days of pioneer Oregon and
horse racing, and a well known
horseman, is reported ill unto death
over at Tillamook, where he
present resides. Tompkins at one
time owned old Jim Merrttt, one of
the best running horses on Ih

as a pack horse, in the very county
where his once owner is now set
tling his final accounting with the
Master of Life.

The Washington county delinq
uent list appears this week on he
fourth nage of The Argus. The
list is slightly in excess of last year
in the number of tracts, but verv
little largtr in the matter of the
amount of taxation due. The list
8 published in both county official
papers, The Argus and Independ
ent, at the one price allowed for
publ cation by the statute 1 here
is very little Hillsboro and Forest
Grove property in the delinquent
publication. Tnese lists are very
much smaller than heretofore, and
this is largely due to the efforts of
Sheriff Bewell, in notifyine the tax
payers time and again. The entire
amount of tax delinquent is but
several hundred dollars.
Mr. J. E. Long and wife, of Lew-
iston, Idaho, are here for a visit of
a fortnight. They are visiting Mrs
Longs parents at Leisvville, Mr.
and Mrs. Isaac Leisy, who will
have a family reunion next Tues
day, the occasion being the golden
wedding celebration of these two
well known Washington county
pioneers. When they were mar
ried in this county, in 1853, there
were not very many people in this
section. They have seen the
countty developed, an empire put
under cultivation, generations pass
away, the world revolutionized by
electricity, . inventions effected
which make the world much differ
ent than a half century back and
yet live to greet their many friends
with intellects unimpaired by
time. .
