HALL CASE A SAD ONE
1 lie Frank Hail burglary case
mention of which will be found in
another column, is a sad ono. The
wife, with her seven small children
will bave to buffet tbe world as
best they csn until Ihe elder child
ren are large enough to help things
along. Hall is a good worker, but
he is a natural born pilferer from
bis own statement. He has
brought seven children into the
world and right here is where
our statutes are very weak. When
a roan of family goea to the peni
tentiary there should be means
provided where the prisoner can
work at a profit to the atate, and
this profit spplied to the support
of the family that bis conduct has
betrayed.
It is up to the people of Hills
boro to give Mrs Hall all and any
work that she can consistently do,
that she may support the children
ot the man in the toils.

of the road work between ihia city
and tbe bridge west of town and
that it has demonstrated tbe drag

This rosd has to carry heavy team

milk wagon route, and heavy loads
can be hauled with no trouble.
Considering the good reiults of tbe

probable that its general use will
be in practice next season. Mr.
Kelsay says that he is ueing it

results.

nearly 1800 subscribers will be

that tbe Automatic Company, with

following letter to Mr. Wilkes is
explanatory:
Mv Dear Sia:
I take pleasure in advising yon that
we are installing- the Automatic plant in
Portland very rapidly, when we consider
tbe size of tbe proposition.
Tbe first contract we let ber to the
Empire Electric Co., who at the con
tractors building this plant, waa lor
$1,000,000, and wc have every reason to
believe now tbat we will be giving ser
vice in a few months.
Our main building on Park and Burn-
aide Sts. is nnder construction, and we
have ust i-urchased a lot on East Morri
son St. snd one in Albina for two East
Side offices.
Our underground work has progressed
very satisfactorily, over 300,000 feet be
ing laid, approximately two thirds of the
total amount. At least two-thirds of our
poles are also in place and we are just
starting to string our messenger and
cables.
It might Interest you to know that the
Erst order placed for switchboards and
telephones waa $100,000.
VV e bave over 8,000 subscriber signed
up and are meeting with the greatest en
couragement all through the city.
The policy of the company will be to

ington, and it is tbe intention now 10

WON PAPER CHASE
Oregon Kid. a gift horse, belong
ing to E. B. Tongue, won the Port
land Hunt Club paper chate at
Portland last Saturday, winning
hands or feet down. Oregon
Kid was mounted by Mr. McGralh,
a former owner, who gave tbe
animal to Tongue some mon'hs ago
because it was c'aimed ha was an
outlaw. After a few weeks or
riding and decent treatment the
kid began to do things and he has
been keeping up his record ever
since. This is one of tbe cases
where the old adage of "Never
Look a Gift Horce ia tbe Mouth"
will not work, for Tongue changed
from a severe bit to a common one
and never had any trouble.
HAVE YOU NOTICED IT?
This is not news and yet it is
but have you noticed how much
paint bas helped out Hillsboro the
pat year? There is nothing eo
conducive to a good appearance as
a little paint judiciously spread
about the town. A very unpre
tentious home is improved 500 per
cent, by the use of paint. If a few
of the old shacks which stand in
places frequently passed should be
torn down and another good seasin
of painting indulged this would be
one of the prettiest towns in the
valley.

tbey saving money? Bave they learned to appreciate the

their minds correct ideas concerning thrift and economy?
Are you seeking the opportunity to "bend the twig?"
Would you like to listen to a plain suggestion? If bo, here
it is:
Send the young folks to our bank with the first spare
dollar that cornea into their hands. The next dollar should
be treated in like manner, and the practice bo continued
until a fixed habit of saving has been established. A good
