Rev. E. S. Hammond, teacher in
the Kimball College, Salem, oc
cupied the pulpit at the M. K
church, Sunday morning. His
father was the local minister
here for several years in the ear
ly '70's, and the Sunday visitor
had not seen Hillsboro since
1H74. He finds many whom he
knew gone to join the silent ma
jority. When Mr. Hammond de
parted from Hillsboro there was
not a brick in the city, but there
was glory enough for everybody
in the way the old-timers accom
plished things. A big fair was
on every year, at the race track
west ot town, and Rev. Ham
mond remembers the fine exhib
its brought in by our husband

greatly exceed that cost. Efforts
are being made to get the prop-

As yet the parties agitating

whether or not the bore could be
used for vehicles and autos. hut
lis could be accomplished if the

Such a subway would be of im

CENSUS BUREAU 0IYES THE RETURNS
Forest Grove is Slifhtly Under County
Seat Figures
After months of waiting, the
census bureau has gladdened the
hearts of Hillsboroites and sent
ont the census returns for the
1910 enumeration, and this after
repeated attempts to get the pop
ulation of Washington County's
two leading cities. The official
figures for Hillsboro and Forest
Grove for the two census years,
1900 and 1910 are:
1900 1910
Hillsboro 980 2016
Forest Grove. . . . 1096 1772
These are the official figures as
transmitted from Washington in
the Associated Press dispatches,
and are therefore correct While
Hillsboro has more than doubled
her population, Forest Grove fol
lows with a magnificent gain.
There is no doubt, however,
that if Hillsboro had its boun
daries extended to include those
living here as a part of the city,
and had Forest Grove extended
her boundaries so that the same
proposition prevailed, that there
would be but little discrepancy
in the enumeration of both towns.
The Argus says this in justice to
the college city. .
When we consider that Hills
boro has had a big growth this
year, and that it is still growing,
the opinion that we are going to
be within the 5,000 class in four
or five years seems to be well
founded. Both cities are bound
to grow in business and popula
tionandandand it probably
will be just a decade when the
two cities will merge under one
harter. taking in Cornelius, and
e shall have a magnificent citv
under the name Corn-Hill-Grove.
