Multnomah county writes that
the new roadway to the Wash
ington county line ha9 been es
tablished, and it runs 400 feet
from the Washington county
survey. This necessitated a
change on the roadway as laid
out by our county court. The
change goes through the Patton
place, as the old one did. and
Mr. Patton sent up deeds the
other day, to cover the new
route, without extri expense to
the county.

Letter
Chairman Bufus Holman, of the
Multnomah County Court, last
week, wrote Judge Beasoner and
Commissioners Hesse and Matte
son the following letter, which
explains itself, and the headlines
over this articb:
"Gentlemen:
Yesterday I had the pleasure
of traveling over some of the
roads of Washington Coucty,
and realizing, from my own ex
perience with Multnomah Coun
ty, that members of the several
County Courts are frequently
criticised, it affords me great
pleasure to address you in the
spirit of commendation.
1 have travelled over most of
the main roads of Oregon, and.
in my opinion, the macaoam roaii
from Hillsboro to rorest Grove,
except in the town of Cornelius,
is the finest piece of macadam 1
have seen. The excellent drain
age of this road is, I believe, as
important as the surfacing,
which, no doubt, will have to be
treated this year to maintain it
from ravelling.
I am particularly interested in
the proper drainage surfacing
and location of the Canyon road
from Beaverton to the Multno
mah County Line. 1 have been
instrumental in causing the re
construction and surfacing of
the Canyon road within Multno
mah County, and I believe the
people of both Multnomah and
Washington Counties are entitled
to better connection at the coun
ty line than they now have.
You can depend upon the co
operation of Multnomah County
on the construction of the Bea
verton-Bertha road in which the
two counties have a mutual in
terest.
With kindest personal regards
I beg to remain.
Very truly yours,
Rufus C. Holman."

East -Will Live There
Earle O. Buxton, the cashier of
the First National Bank, of For
est Grove, who disappeared about
two months ago, is at Columbus,
Ohio, attending a business and
commercial college. He recently
wrote his wife, and Mrs. Buxton
went East last Saturday to join
her husband, and they will re
main in the Buckeye State until
Mr. Buxton finishes his course.
Mr. Buxton left Forest Grove
with about $2,000 of his own
funds, and his accounts were
correct at the bank. He owed
no one unless it was a family
affair.
His disappearancecreated quite
an excitement for a week or so,
and unless Buxton had written
his whereabouts would doubtless
have remained unknown for
many months.
It is said that Mr. Buxton re
grets the dramatic coloring of
his departure. It is now known
that he was discouraged as to
possible advancement in the
Grove, and he concluded to seek
a wider field.
Young Buxton has many
friends in Washington County
vho wish him every success.

A NEAR FIRE
The Ben Simpson barber shop in
the Hotel Washington had a nar
row escape from a serious blaze.
Saturday morning, about 7:40.
Wm. Urech, the barber .employ
ed there, had just filled the gas
tank which heats the water for
the tonsoribl work. Some gas
had escaped and formed a vapor,
and when he struck the match
to start the fire there was an
explosion. Urech soon had the
blaze extinguished, and by the
time the apparatus reached the
corner all was again serene.
Urech had a narrow escape from
being singed, but is none the
worse for the accident. Had the
tank exploded there might have
been no Hotel Washington. The
room is plastered throughout,
thus making it hard, however,
for flames to get a hold.
