Mrs. Jack Daniels, aged 44
years, died at her horn in Forest

born in Forest Grove, Aug. 24.
1872. and was the daughter of
Jerome and Helen Porter, pio
neers ol this county. Her moth
er crossed the plains by ox learn
in the fifties, and her fathercame
hete in the early sixties, for a
great many years having a wide
reputation as a raiser of race
horses and fine cattle. The late
Gary and Avery Porter were her
brothers. Mrs. Daniels was a
talented musician, being a grad
uate of the Conservatory of Mu
sic of Pacific University. Besides

F. J. Sewell, City Treasurer.
Clearing right of way on the
proposed new road between Bea
verton and Bertha is in progress,
and the road will be laid as soon
as Spring opens. All at present
depends whether or not the leg
islature cuts oil the 27 sections
on the eastern border of this
county and throws them into
Multnomah. The proposed cut
olT embraces a strip two sections
deep, and takes in Tigard. Gar
den Homo, Green berg and Tual
atin. Clackamas is also threat
ened with a cutoff into Multno
mah, and the representatives
from the two counties will join
in lighting the proposed meas
ures, the Washington County
bill to be soon intioduced. This
threatened loss of territory
comes as a scare to Washington
County every session of the leg
islature. The proposed cut-otT
, carries an assessed value of
f 1.200.114. realty. $1,131,555;
personal, K5S.559. The section
carries about one-twentieth of
our cour.ty valuation.

Postmaster Lamkin wishes to
, notify farmers of the cheap par-
ce post rates for farm products
into the county seat and to points
: inside the 30-mile zone. The
i parcels post is a big benefit to
ithe producei, and many times
! saves him a trip to the city.
Many foodstuffs are in the list
mailable, and anyone desiring to
ship in this way. making the
connection between the farm and
the townsman's table, should
make inquiry.
Otto Wohler was in town Mon
day, shipping out a carload of
onions; and he has but one car
yet to place on the market. On
ions went to $5 per sack the
first of the week, and spuds also
took a raise, one farmer refusing
$2 per sack f. o. b. in the Elmon
ica section.
J. Q. Johnson, of below Dun
zer, was in town Monday. J. Q.
recently sold his onions, and re
ceived a good price for them. He
let go a little too quick to get the
big raise but it meant good
money, anyway, his crop selling
at a figure that would bring
the rate of about $700 per acre.
John Ireland, of Forest Grove,
was greeting friends at the
county seat the first of the week.
Frank Greener, of below Rood,
was in the city Monday.
ARE NOW TOGETHER
Mayor Wall Name Chan. E.
Koontt as Street Commissioner
AND COUNCIL C0vl IHMS NOMINATION
New Man Took Charfv ol Dulim l.inl
Saiurdiy Fvrning
The long drawn out fight over
the appointment of a street com
missioner ended Friday evening
when Mayor Wall substituted
the name of Chas. E. Koontz for
street commissioner and the
council at once con firmed, the
nomination. Mr. Wall's first
nomination was Mr. Pate, and
this appointment the refused to
confirm. After a d adloek for
two weeks it Lecaine apparent
that Mr. Pata could not receive
confirmation. It was reported
that the council w as in' a frame
of mind to confirm tny other ap
pointment, so the test was made
at Friday night's meeting.
The nomination of Mr. Koontz
appears to give general satisfac
tion. He is a good horseman,
and his dutie;;. abide from the
street work, are to care for the
lire department team and drive
the wagon when a fire occurs.
Mr. Koontz went on duty Satur
day evening. He is well known,
and his many friends say that he
will make a splendid official.
Mr. Hensley, the retiriogstreet
commissioner, has been with the
city ever since the new charter
was adopted, and he has driven
the city team on department
calls and on the street work ever
since the horses were purchased.
