Returns From Extended Trip over
Hast and South, Sunday
WENT TO SHE PANAMA CANAL
Ha Been Traveling Since July , and
Made Many Points
Ferd Cronerand wife, of Scholls,
returned Sunday, after spending
the time since July C, in travel
ing over the East and South,
and making a trip to the big
Panama canal. Ferd thoroughly
enjoyed his trip, and made many
thousands of miles in his auto.
After coming to El Paso from
the South he shipped his auto to
I)3 Angeles, and he and Mrs.
Groner visited the Panama Ca
nal. Ferd says he saw lots of
Muni eonntrv. but preferred Cali
fornia to all that he saw East
and South. "But. I'll tell you
one thing," says Groner "I
think I found no countrv in all
my travels that will compare with
the production of the Willamette
Valley. We can support a great
er population to the square mile
th;in anv Kection we visited, and
do it with greater ease. We are
behind California in roads -but
a dry climate always has the
best of one that Is wet, in this
regard. 1 see that we are get
tint' down to business in roads in
Washington County, and it is
high time we made a start. Ot
course, I'm glad to get back to
f iiwnn - hut I'm clad. also, that
we made the trip. It has made
me more than ever satisfied that
Oregon and Washington Coun
ty, in particular-is the place."
Mr. Groner thinks the big canal
will have a splendid effect on the
trade of the west coast.

Wilkes & Son, Hillsboro, Oregon
A follow with but one arm
blew into town Friday, and
started to beg for money, pass
ing out little cards, printed, tell
ing how he lost his arm in a run
away accident. Ihe chap had
come over from the Woodburn
country, where he was exposed,
and a traveling man happened to
pass along just as he was mak
ing his first "touch." The travel
ing salesman butted in and said
to the alms-eivine larmer.
Don't vou erive that chao a
cent he has just as many arms
as you have under that coat.
This impostor was exposed over
at Woodburn and had to get out
of town to avoid being arrested
for getting money under iaise
pretences." The beggar at once
made tracks for the S. P. depot
and got out of town. People
should be very careful about giv
1 ing money to traveling beggars.
Gov. West write the following
anent the Western Governors'
Special:
"The tour of the western gov
ernors will result in the bring
ing about of a better under
standing and closer friendship
hptwppn the east and west. The
eyes of the east are not only be
incr onened to the possibilities of
the west but its people are being
hronffht to realize that our inter
est is their interest and wnat
ever is done to develop the west
ia hound to rebound to the oene-
fit of the east. Thev know that
a movement of the "landless
man" ot the east to the man
less land" of the west is one not
nnlv in the interest of business
but one which will make for
onod o-overnment.
