The many friends of M. E,
Everett in this city, will regret
to learn that his drug store at
North Bend. Ore., was destroyed
by fire Sunday morning. His
loss in stock amounted to iiz.
000, with insurance to cover the
loss so far as per cent, is con
cerned. In any event Mr. Ever
ett stands to lose several thou
sand dollars, the advance in drug
values having largely increased
his assets. The fire started in a
buildinflf close by. Miles is well
known here, being a brother to
Franklin Everett, of Hillsboro,
and to Mrs. J. M. Brown, of
Banks. He at one time conduct
ed the Delta Drug store m this
city.
The "Tuala." issued by the
Tualatin School, is a bright num
ber, and does credit to the statt
which edited it. MiS9 Ldna tiei-
berger was the editor in chief;
Clara Ltiethi, assistant, and their
assistants were Menga Batalgia,
Dorothy Byrom. Florence Wal-
graeve, Francis Hill and Edna
Ladd. Paul Cooper and Rsy
Geiberger were the business
managers, and the publication is
a credit to them. An editorial
by Miss Geiberger is splendidly
written and would put to shame
many country newspaper men
from a standpoint of diction.
The way she evades the use of
the personal pronoun 1 is re
freshing, and her article shows
that she takes a comprehensive
view of affairs that are today
agitating a world.
