A FINE CHEESE COUNTY
Fred Rchombere, of Ibis city, who
wai the pioneer cheeee maker of
Tillamook county, and who is a
recognized authority on dairying,
ii firm in bis belief that Washing
ton county can produce better
cbeeee than any of the coast ooun-
tiea. He admit that Tillamook
now has that reputation, and while
be would not dieparage Tillamook
cheeae, he says this county has an
advantage over tbe coast counties,
n that dry feed is cheaper here than
on the coast, where bun and shorts
are not much fed for the above rea
son. Again, we can raise better
vetches and our clover hay is also
better. On the coast the velvet
gnu is poor feed compared with
Washington county bay. lncbeeae
making, it is the quality of milk
that counts, the world over, and it
is on the quality of the milk that
Mr. Schomberg bases bis claim
that Washington county can pro
duce better cdeese than any coast
oounty in the stale. All we need
is the factory, and toe reputation
will assert itself.
LIBRARY FOR THE GROVE
At its regular monthly meeting laet
night the city council voted a t
mill tax. 1 mill for the library
fund, 1 for the city hall buildinf
lund. ind 5 for tbe general fund.
Last summer Mrs. 0. 0. Rogers
made a proposition to the council
to donate her besutifal $20,000 res
idence on Fifth street to the city for
library purposes, provided the
mnnioinalitv would support me
nrenent town library. A J mill tax
was levied for that purpose and the
oouncil with one accord voted the
await! tax last night; so Forest
Grove is in direct line for the val
uable estate of Mrs. Rogers.

'TIS NOT A
SAY TJIEJLAWYEEIS
Serious Complications Arise
From Governor's Lapse
COURTS BADLY BLANKETED BY ACT
Si Term Sow Prebible Btfort Jionar?
Next
be failure of Governor Chamber
ain to cover last Friday and Sat
urday with a holiday proclama
ion, has prevented the November
term of circuit court from beint
held in this county, as well as else
where in the fifth Judicial district.
As those days were not known ju
dicial days, Judge McBride did not
appear. The law on the aubject
is found in the Oregon statutes, in
Sec. 953, and reada u follows: "If
no judge attend on the day ap
pointed for holding a court, before
o'clock in tbe afternoon, the
court shall stand adjourned until
the next day at 9 o'clock; and if no
judge attend on that day, before 4
o clock in the afternoon, it shall
then stand adjourned for the term."
Y ord was received from Judge
McBride yesterday, in answer to
an inquiry by T. tl. Tongue, by
phone, that he would be in Hills
boro next Monday, December 14,
to convene court and try cases
where there was a stipulation be
tween attorneys. Mr. Tongue was
also given to understand that the
trial jury would be called to report
on Tuesday.
Just as the Argus goes to press,
is learned from County Clerk
Godman, that Judge McBrids will
be here next Monday, for the pur
pose of holding court. This infor
mation was phoned from Oregon
Ci y. tbe Judge's home, and there
can now be no doubt about his com
ing.

JOHN J. GOBLB
John J. Goble, of near Laurel, died
on the 11th inst., aged 69 years, of
heart disease, and was buried on
the day following his death in the
oemetery at Laurel. Deceased was
an old settler in his community
having lived in ; this county more
than twenty years. He waa
bachelor.,
Peter Johnson, well known here
says be waa held up by a maeked
man, near the Humphrey corner,
na relieved or fS, about twoweeki
ago. Alter be bad given up his
puree to the footpad, the old gentle
man eays be told the robber he
might search him for more money,
put tbe nignwayman refused, eay-
og: uo along borne, old man:
go along home," and Peter said he
lost no time in obeying the order.
About tbe best way to fool the
holdup gentry is to put your money
in tbe banks, it is tbe safest way.
It has been predicted by manv
that there will be an epidemic of
robbery this winter, as too many
people nave gotten in tbe habit of
carrying sums of money with them,
or secreting it about their premises,
during tbe late financial scare.
W ben it is known that people de
posit their money in banka or safes
