Kenyon Crandall, who has been
in Oretron sinco 1X.W p.lVir..tafl
his 81st birthday last Friday, and
was the recipient of a handsome
gold watch from his relatives as
an appreciation of his genuine
worth.
He was born in Ren nsalapr
County, New York, July 21,
itMU, and came to Oregon in
lno2. crossinir the nlains in thf
same wagon train that conveyed
Harvey W. Scott to the West.
He left the party at Salt Lake.
and went to San Francisco, tak
ing the barkentine Geo. C.
Devins, Captain Wiggins, to
Portland. He arrived in Port
land. Dec. 17, 1852. and walked
out to Hillsboro in a blinding
snow storm. I he vessel on which
he came to Portland carried the
news of the Pierce election. Pri
or to leaving the East, Mr. Cran
dall was sailing the seas, and
made a trip into the Adriatic and
touched at various Mediterranean
points. After reaching Oregon,
ic sailed to the Sandwich Islands
for his health, making the trip
in 1851. For a number of years
he has made his home with Mr.
and Mrs. Ixmg. For his years
he remains remarkably healthy,
and his mind is as strong as the
average man of 50. He daily
peruses the Oregonian and the
San Francisco Examiner, and
keeps well abreast of current
events. IleisaJacksonian Dem
ocrat, and remembers every great
political event. His memory on
vents and people is remarkably
clear, and he is a sort of god
father to Hillsboro attorneys, as
every little while he makes af
fidavits for them in the way of
locating people who lived here
back in the dim vista of the past.
In the olden times he ran "for as
sessor and was defeated bv but
one vote, and Uncle Kenyon
swears by all that is holy that
he voted for his opponent, or it
would have been a tie. He and
the late Mr. Scott, in later years,
were on pleasant terms, and the
veteran editor never missed an
opportunity to send his personal
regards to the Hillsboro pioneer.
WILL HAVE A TIE CHAIN
Farmers have been wondering
what would become of the tie-
chain when the city improve
ments are completed. The Ar
gus has it on good authority that
a good tie-place will be put in on
Second Street, as well as on
Main, around the court house
square." These will be conveni
ences dear to the hearts of the
country people, and while there
are a number who deprecate
teams being tied along the
streets, there are many who
think that there is not better ad
vertisement than a lot of well-fed
horses tethered to public tying
places. In any event we are to
have the tie-places, and the Ar
gus is one to say "Ah-men."

Many people close to the busi

The city engineer's office con
demned over 100 joints of sewer
pipe on the single block surround
ing the court house. This will
mean a big loss, either to the
company furnishing the pipe, or
the contractor. Some of the pipe
was faulty in construction, and
some of the sections were crack
ed, either in loading, or in trans
it, or in unloading or delivering.
Anyway, they were unfit, and
not allowed to be placed in the
ditch.
An old Dane who is stopping

came to the city Monday and
proceeded to get too much of the

home, but when he rounded the
corner at Main, owing to the
condition of the street, he found
choppy seas ahead. This dis
couraged him and he laid down
with his bald pate exposed to
the sun. Chief Blaser rounded
him up and placed him in cold
storage until evening, when he
was allowed to go back "home."

RECORDER FILES ON
H1YJJH DOCKET
All Assessments, Sewer and Pav
ing, Now Matter of Record
PUBLICATION MADE THIS WEEK
No Annual Payment of Less Than $25
to be Accepted
City Recorder Benton Bowman.
assisted by W. N. Barrett Jr.,
has recorded all the apportion
ments for the cost of sewerage
and paving in the city lien dock
et, and the publication of the
list of charges appears this week
in the Argus and Independent.
The matter of filing in the dock
et, and the subsequent clerical
Work is the greatest amount of
duty ever required of the Re
corder's office, and every person
is to be mailed a notice, aside
from that of publication.
No application for the 10 year
payment can be made where the
assessment is greater than the
assessed value, according to the
valuation in the Washington
County Assessor's office, and no
annual navment is to ho owont
w UvvvJ
ed for less than twenty-five dol
lars, mis means that where a
niere of nronertv in
more than the regular Assessor's
valuation, one must first pay
enough cash in to redncp to th;,t
sum, and then the ten year pro-
ceaure can te taken up. i
Special ordinances are made
for property used for religious
purposes, so these institutions
may take advantage of the timp
payments.
Aside from the ch
ty there is but one or two places
where the charges of improve
ment exceed the assessed valua
tions. GRAND JURY MAKES REPORT
The grand jury returned its re
port i.londay noon, and adjourn
ed subject to call. Its report
reaas:
"That we have returned 8 true
bills, and one not true hill W
have examined into the condi
tions of the County Poor Farm,
and find the buildings in an un
sanitary condition, and the place
in unsatisfactory condition. We
do not wish to censure either
the county court or the person
in charge of said poor farm, for
the reason that there seems to
be some question as to the fur
nishing of certain materials on
said farm, but we tin LmIWp
that the conditions there should
be improved immediately, and
do not approve of the way the
contract or the keeuiner of the
county poor are now made. We
ueiieve that a sufficient! sum
should be paid by the county for
the keep of each inmate; and
that said contract should then be
fully complied with, and we also
recommend that in the future,
the county furnish the medical
services and the medicine neces
sary for the inmates of said farm
as we do not believe that under
the present conditions and con
tract the most satisfactory re
sults can be obtained. We find
in said farml female and 7 males.
We have also examined into
the condition of the offices in the
county court tnd find the of
ficers courteous, and ' the offices
apparently well kept, but have
not examined the books for any
of the offices for the reason that
we have learned that they were
experted by a competent expert
within the past six months.
We have examined the county
jail and find it clean and appar
ently well kept and in good con
dition. We have made some investiga
tion regarding the compliance
with the law requiring the out
side doors and tther exits lead
ing into theatres, churches,
school buildings, public halls
and other buildings used for pub
lic purposes, to be so swung and
hinged that they will open to
the outside, and find that said
law is often disregarded, so much
so that we do not deem it for the
best interest to, at this time, in
dict all of the violators of said
law, but would recommend that
the sheriff, of this county, be in
structed to make a thorough in
vestigation of the matter and
see that said law was enforced,
and that he report to the next
grand jury the names of the
persons who have not complied
with the law. (Signed. ) J. C.
