The campaign will soon be on
for the June referendum elec
tion, and chief of the discussions
will be that on the proposed six
million bond issue for better
roach for Oiegon. The way it
looks at present, Multnomah
County will vote strong for the
amendment, and also some of
the central Willamette Valley
counties. The argument will be
exhaustive on both sides and
there would be no question of
the issue carrying if it was
thought that the auto license
would provide enough funds to
pay principal and interest. But
this view is not general, many
holding that it will also take a
considerable tax. There are
those who say a quarter mill tax
at large by the state would turn
the trick, and there are pome
who say thix, with the auto tax,
would not be enough.

leased
and C. W. Gillett have
the Everfresh plant in
this city and will do their can
ning business here this year.
They already have orders from
one firm alone for 2,000 cases of
string beans, and it will take 30
acres of the product to fill this
and other orders for the same
vegetable.
The Gillett expect to turn out
a $25,000 output this year, and
they will at once start out and
canvass the situation with grow
ers in order to secure the acreage.
The new concern will probably
operate under the name of the
Hillsboro Canning Company,
Their product is Al, and this
will mean something to the
small farmers.
It is to be hoped that Hillsboro
and vicinity will develop the
growing of small vegetables and
corn. There is an increasing
market for canned goods of this
nature, and with loganberry cul
ture to back up other canning
there should be a good future
for small acreage culture.
The Williams cannery has a
big hold on the Loganberry cul
ture and has capacity for turning
out beans and corn, and with the
Gillett plant Hillsboro should
turn out a big lot of product this
season.

SHERIFF FEELS SURE
OF HflJOUL PLAY?
Say He Thinks Buxton has Left
the Country on Premeditated Trip
TOOK NOTHING FROM BANK'S FUNDS
But Wis Financially in Straits and Took
Faxier Way Out
Sheriff Applegate is now satis
fied that Earl O. Buxton, the
missing Forest Grove Bank cash
ier, met with no foul play. He
thinks Buxton made his prepara
tions several days in advance.
and that he has left the country
for good. Buxton, on Feb. 28.
bought a suit of clothes for $15;
?suit case for $18; a flannel shirt
and an overcoat, paying $18
therefor, and on March 3. the
day he left Forest Grove, called
for the suit, which had been al
tered, at Ben Selling's, Portland,
and since that time, which was
six in the evening, no one has
seen him to recognize him.
He had the two thousand dol
lars with him, and it is thought
that he is either in California,
or Canada, or has taken steam
ship passage to the Orient.
J
Buxton owed about $10,000 for
bank stock, and his salary Was
less than a hundred dollars per
month. He was paying about
$45 per month interest, and 'this
meant that he was unable to pay
out It is thought that he sim
ply grew discouraged and con
cluded to make his escape. That
he was worried over his financial
condition goes without saying.
Shetiff Applegate says there is
no charge against him and that
his search is now over. He
scouts the idea that there has
been any foul play, or that Bux
ton has met with misfortune
and there the matter rests.
