Over seventy voters attended the
meeting in North Hillshotv. last
Saturday afternoon, for the juir
jkisos of voting for ami arainst a
serial road tax for the continua
tion of the rock roads, started
last year. John V. Sowed was
selected to preside as chairman,
ami IV. W. P. Wood was chosen
secretary. County Judge lioodin
explained how the funds of the
year passed had loen excndod,
and tld how much money was
still on hand for prosecution of
the work. Mr. Wood ami Hon,
V. N. Itarrvtt opposed a tax on
the grounds that South 1 1 ilIstHrv
had refused to lay a levy, and
that it was unfair for North
llillslioro to vote and pay taxes
on a proposition that redounded
equally to the U'netit of South
Hillshoro so far as the town is
concerned, rlnch made remarks
against the levy, and although
there was sound sense in what
thev urged, the opiosition was
ovcrw helming.
T. H. Tongue made an effective
plea for the five mill levy, and
sa'ul that just U'cause Smith
llillslioro had swn fit t J withdraw
fnm permanent road work was
no reason why North llillslioro
should not put its shoulder to the
wheel and proceed with jHTiua
rent improvements; that all rec
ognized the value of good roads;
that of a certainty they would
cost money hut that money ex
jtendod in this way was nothing
but an investment and an in
vestment that would give great
er returns than any other avenue.
When Mr. Tongue concluded, the
applause he was given demon
strated that the meeting was
overwhelmingly for the levy.
Dr. A. H. Hailey. Frank Imbrie
and William Nelson were ap
pointed tellers, and the vote was
cast, with the result that I'J
voted for a five mill tax, and 21
voted against the measure. A
resolution was passed placing the
exjienditure of the money in the
hands of the county court.
A i(M)I) SPRAY
Kditor Argus: As I have had
several inquiries in regard to a
good sulphur and lime spray. I
would say that 1 have found. Iy
severe tests by the Beaume scale,
that the Aetna brand stands the
test 0. K. This spray is made
by I. I.eis, of Heavcrton, Ore.
I believe in patronizing horn'
people, when they make some
thing they can guarantee -and
Mr. Lois guarantees his spray to
go .'10 per Keaume scale.

Upon an information tiled U'fore
Judge Barnes, last week, Sheriff
llanc(K-k Saturday arrested two
Portland junk dealers, Jews by
nationality, on the charge of hav
ing Molen two iron wheels from
the Hawthorne estate, where
John Sinclair has been running
the hopyurd. SherilT Hancock
found the two wheels in their
jxissession at Orenco, and brought
them to Hillsboro. Max Kane,
one of the two, gave $.100 bail,
while Samuel Bell, the other de
fendant, was taken to jail.
They have been riding around
the county, buying old junk, and
shortly after they passed the
hopyard Sinclair discovered the
loss of the wheels, lxth of which
are valued at perhaps thirty or
forty dollars. I hey will appear
In-fore Judge W. 1). Smith, to
morrow, to see whether or not
they will be bound over to ap
pear at circuit court.
As the goods were found in
their possession, it hxiks as
though the stale had a very
good case against them. The
wheels were laying around loose,
and were not attached to the
baler. Two stoves were missing
down in that section, and the
sheriff found a lot of broken
stoves with them, but the pieces
were not in shape to make ident
ification.

Sheriff Hancock received a letter
