Hillsboro has built more hand
some homes this year than in at y
twelve months of past historv.
and there has been a great im
petus in business building con
struction. Streets have been pav
ed, and a sewer system installed.
There is promise of greater activ
ity next year -and this is what
is expected of the chief city in a
county that is noted for great
production. Every year will see
a better county, and better towns
within its boundaries.
The many special road meetings
called for voting for or against
special taxes for rock roads
speaks well for the crystallization
of sentiment for better high
ways. Good roads are the cry
ing necessity of Washington
County the best county in the
best state in the union and it
looks as though we shall have a
beginning that is a beginning,
INCREASES STOCK
The Commercial Bank of Hills
boro will increase its capital
stock to $50,000 after January 1,
1912, and within 30 days there
after expects to occupy its new
quarters. The new fixtures
have been made to order, and
paying and receiving windows
have been so constructed that
all will face patrons of the bank
when they step inside the doors.
The interior arrangement will be
comfortable and spacious, and
the new banking house will be a
model in appointment. The
architect ha3 perfected plans
that will be pleasing to the eye,
and a metal front, covering the
angle facing both streets, will
lend to the beauty of the lines of
the building.
Messrs. A. B. Kirk and R. W.
King, of the World Keepfresh
Co., report they are getting
along nicely with their subscrip
tion to the stock for installation
of a factory. They say that the
farmers, who will be most bene
fitted by the institution, are com
ing up finely with purchases of
stock. -
J. E. Dickason, of above Moun
taindale, was in town today, his
first trip since August. "The
town has gone ahead some,"
says J. E.

Weight of Rock.
A cubic mile of average rock weighs

The Cat.
The domestic cat is a paradox, for
no domesticated quadruped Is as near
to the wild state. In some degree
every cat feels the call to freedom, al
though every cat may uot understand
it sufficiently .to obey it. Sometimes
it comes early, sometimes late in life,
but it comes to every cat.
Rice.
Rice to be a useful article of food
should be stewed with milk, butter or
stock, which will supply the want of
natural fat.
Twelve Corner.
What is known as Twelve Corners,
between Solon nud Madison, Me.. Is
said to be the only nlace of Hip kind
in the United States. Six roads meet
at this place, making twelve distinct
corners, on each corner there is a
aign post.

STRANOLER SMITH
Strar.gler Smith, the noted wrest
ler, last night won from Jepson,
of Gresham, at the Hartrampf
Rink, in two straight falls, each
fall succumbing to the strangle
hold. Time, 1st. 10 minutes: 2nd
7 minutes. Jepson alleges that
he was not at his best owing to
dui recent recovery from two
broken ribs.
Reed, the Forest Grove one
armed wrestler, put Bartlett to
the mat in 20 minutes, and his
opponent was too fatigued to con
tinue the match. E. E. Colestock
acted as referee.
Next Thursday night Smith
and Jepson will wrestle for side
money, strangle-holds barred,
and a big crowd is expected to
witness the event.
Experts With the Dagger,
Among the wilder tribes of the Cau
