buy in the niarket, ami the in
stitution in paying cash for
e iry thing bought, which in cer
tainly encouraging to producers,
llu payroll of the cannery
amounts to about $75 per week,
and when the Heanon for vegeta
bles comes it will doubtless be
lawr. They are buying nil the
hn'.'uiherries they can find, and
ami they pay the market price.
If the institution is made to pay
at all. next year the linn will in
stall a larger plant and llillsboro
will be on the map as a cannery
town. This is Homething that
has been needed here for muny
years. Iloth Mr. ("onnell and
Senator Wood are practical men
and if there is suecessin the ven

There is absolutely no question
about thu wo-Uh of the output,

A successful year will mean
much more to Hillsboro and
vicinity than the average man
realizes. The Argua hopes that
the elfort of the itrtn will prove
profitable.

The case of A. T. ('lark versus
I.. S, I'ringle, 111 Justice Court,
Saturday, resulted in a verdict
for the defendant, 1'ringle. Some
time ago I'ringle sold Clark a
bay .home, givirg him a written
guarantee. After a lew days
Clark took the horse home, and
asked for his $50. I'ringle re
fused, claiming the horse was all
that he had insured. The de
fense was that the hamestraps
had broken, throwing the har
ness back over the rear of the
animal, and that this had caused
a to kick. The jury evidently
believed the defense, for the
verdict was that Clark could re
cover nothiny and must pay the
costs. The jury: K, I. Kuratli,
Curtis Hirdsell, John iMillcr, J.
M. Guar, J. 15. Vrooman and 11.

how the stalk ever grew to full

less of a miracle. It is over 25

QU1CT AT CAMPS
All was quiet last week at the
logging camps on the Tillamook
line. Sheriff Applegate went to
Cochran, Thursday, and remain
ed until Saturday afternoon.
There was evidence of organiza
tion by th 1. W. W., but no
damage was attempted. The
sherilf procured a lot of their
literature. Their constitution
asks for the obliteration of the
employing classes in all lines of
production and manufacture.
While their propaganda calls for
an 8-hour day with the loggers,
their desire is as above stated.
One of their songs tells gleefully
of wrecking a threshing machine,
and also tells of an I. W. W.
leaving a burr off a wagon which
he had greased, causing a frac
tured hip for the rancher. Con
trol of all output of whatsoever
nature is their ultimate idea.
They justify sabotage as a means
of causing a revolution. Their
literature is of interest in show
ing just what is the crux of their
propaganda.

The defendants in the case of

hill and others, six-defendants,
have protested the decision of
the three referees in dividing up
the property to which plain tills
and defendants are heirs. Ihey
claim they lose several thousand
dollars in values by reason of un
fair division. The three referees
are perhaps as fair men as could
have been selected by the court,
and it will be up to the defend
ants to show that their protest
is at all worthy.
Two burglars entered the
Challacombe store at Cornelius,
Tuesday morning, about 3:00
o'clock. They loaded three gun
nv sacks "with shoes, underwear,
groceries,, etc., and were about
to leave, when one of the broth
ers, who sleeps in an adjacent
building, heard a noise. He
went to investigate and found
the two in possession of the
building. One of them told him
to get out of the store, and fired
two shots into the ceiling, above
his head. Challacombe then
went to arouse his brother, and
when they returned the two
burglars had decamped, leaving
their sacks of goods behind them
One went one way and one the
other. Deputy Sheriff Alexan
der reached the store at 3:30, but
could find .no trace of the out
