A huge seventy-live horse power
caterpillar, with a sixteen-foot
mini grader attached, started
work thin week on the Heaver
tmi-Herthn Rector of the new
highway luading into Washing
ton County, ami the great ma
chine is expected to clean up the
light work this week Home time,
or curly next week. The, grader
take a sixteen-foot swath, and
bevels the road an neatly as
though done by hand, even neut
er. It takes hut three or four
men to operate the machine, and
when this is completed the court
will make a Hiirvey of the cuts
and lil In, und will Htqrt teams and
men at work at once. The court
believes the entire grading of the
road, reudy for the laying of
rock, will get inside the estimate
of $2. WW,, and perhaps even
cheaper.
The grading und filling of this
sector whs submitted to bids u
few weeks uga, but ull offeis
were rejected.
The court has an idea that the
Highway Commission will at
least finish that part of the road
this year, as this will help out
the line into central Washington
County, und obviate the neces
sity of making the trip over the
i'ortlaiul mountain.
Three insane cases were dis

days, and put up a physical de

Dr. F. A. Hailey examined her,

pathetic case was that of Chas.
S,hockexamined by Dr. Hyde,
Friday. The nHn was born in
Nebraska in 1884 and moved to
Portland several years ago. He
is not insane, but is defective in
memory, having lapses when he
appears to be cataleptic. He was
picked up by SherilV- Applegate,
between Dilley and the (irove,
ten days ago. lie was sent to
the receiving hospital, and may
come out all right with treat

South Tualatin, was examined
by Dr. Hailey, Saturday, and or

sent her to England for her
health several years ago and she
remained two years, returning

that she 'be restrained, guards

Thin Counly Will Not Suffer Heavily on

Reports from different parts
of the state indicate growing
scarcity of common labor. Far

what they have had to pay in the

average of over lOO'OOO a month
coming to the U. S. This has
gone down until we are getting
about fifteen thousand a month

cans have been leaving in such
large numbers that the Labor
Commissioner has suspended the

to come in and help harvest the
crops in the border states.
