1 HILLSBQ I ARGUS Couaty Official Papr L. A. Long, Editor. Entered t the Port Office t Hilliboro, Oregon, second class mail matter. Snbacription, $1.50 per annum. mi I' i i .-r.v ' With prospects for a bumper crop of Winter w heat, nnd with a j good price assured, old Washing i ton County should give its mag I niticent bank balances another hike next Tall. And. by the j way, while wheat is some factor, one should not disregard the fact that this is the first dairy county in some state from a productive standpoint. Issued every Thursday by Mr. . C. McKinney and L. A. Long. President Wilson's reminder to the delegates at the peace con ference that it required a League of Nations to make the world safe for peoples, and that it was necessary therefore to maintain such a League for the preserva tion of peace, was the trump card in forcing the League idea into the peace treaty. The '"Prince of Princeton" is a man not easily swerved from his pur pose, and he will have served the world a real benefit, and one that will immortalize him, if the measures go through. Without him at Paris any interested per son knows the warring factions at the peace table never would have agreed. The old "balance of power proposal" had its mer its, but possessed no police pow er worth while. The rules of conduct of the present League will do much to keep the world peaceful and estop Nations from Hying at each other's throats. The more power to the "Old Alan." The w ay the bankers of Wash ington County handled the Vic tory Loan is a memorial to their public spiritedness. Hillsboro bankers never quibbled with the County Chairman, Mr. Thorn- burgh, when he suggested the way out and all fell into line,! with the result that Washington County is really the first "ovcrj the top" with the more than I $400,000 loan. The citizenry of j this district havt; a right to feel proud of their banking houses j and Hillsboro, which carries the j greatest load collectively, is "right smart proud," anyway. The way the Hillsboro trio put their shoulders to the wheel at the Thornburgh idea "swells us up quite some." The Oregon Dairymen League which holds a big meeting here Saturday afternoon, appears to have swept Oregon dairymen oil their feet in an endeavor to pre sent a united front to the mar kets of the Northwest Organi sation is the method pursued, and in time the old State Dairy Association will be merged into the new League. It is said that over 70 per cent of the dairy men of the state are in the League, and new members are signing up every day. The fact that Hiilsboro's busi ness people have signed up for a Chautauqua meeting this year means than an educational fea ture of inestimable worth has been induced to visit this section. The program this year will be better than ever, and it is a mat ter of congratulation that it has been secured. Of course, there will be those who fight it, but they will be few and far between : Mayor Baker, of Portland, re turns from the East and quotes Geo. E. Chamberlain as one of the big National figures. Brer. Baker had better watch out or he will be accused of seeing a thing right once in a while. The Argus isn't much of a prophet, but it predicts that Mr. Borah is going to have hard sledding when he tries to suc ceed himself up in Idaho. W. T. Kerr went to Scappoose yesterday on business. Win. MeUler, of Firdale dis trict, was n city caller yesterday, day. Wm. Vaudoiuelon, of near Roy, .was an Argus caller Tues day.

Henry has been a member of tin- Argus family for 25 years and is still to read the religious weekly another 12 months. Gus Wehrung, who was born in the old Tualatin Hotel, has a relic of the old building which he prizes very highly. It is a dowel pin, made of fir, which held to gether the frame. Gus says that dowel pin is older than he but wouldn't tell just how old he is, being rather inclined to be wom anish about his age. J. W. Marsh, of Centerville, one of the pioneers, was in town yesterday afternoon. Many a meal he took in the old Tualatin hotel in pioneer days, and wLile watching the workmen tear down the structure many old reminiscences came to his mind. J. W. called and started on his quarter-century mark as an Ar gus reader. The framework of the old Tualatin was hewed out of fir, and the upper part is in practic ally as good condition as it was when it was pinned together over (!0 years ago. Billy Hoff man and crew will have the old structure all cleaned away this week, and the Weiks have com menced moving the newest part to the J. II. Garrett lot.

Heisler was aged about 72 years, and was always promi nent in county affairs. He had been suffering from heart trou ble .occasionally for several years, but stoically met his phys ical reverses. He was pointedly partisan, but always listened to opposition of opinion with cour tesy. He owned a large farm on Gales and his home for many years has been the center for the congregation of young and old. Mr. Hcisler's death came as a shock to all. He was in the pub lic road and going about his af fairs of the day when he was stricken.

Asbahr, who landed in .New York a few days ago, writes his mother, Mrs. Julius A.shahr. of this city, ami as this old Third Oregon boy had some still' fight ing abroad, the letter will be of interest, although he side-steps anything about his own exper iences. The letter: "Camp Upton, N. Y., April 7, 1919. Dear Mother: I suppose that you know I am hack in the good old U. S. I sent you a telegram the morning I landed. I can hardly believe that I am back. Am just a bit afraid that I'll wake up and find out that I've been dreaming. Just think of it, a few months ago we always hoped to get hack but never dared to expect it. It sure is some relief to get hack. In thi" army we have a little song, "We Have Got Three Years to do This in." but now we have the rest of our lives to do things in. Camp I'pton is on Long Is land, about sixty-five -miles from New York. I was going to New York yesterday morning, on n twenty-four hour pass. We had our passes and were about to start when we got orders to i-tay at home. I don't know why we couldn't go, probably because we arc to start for ('amp Lewis soon as we expect to be on our way within a week. We are having fine weather, and haven't a thing to do hut eat md sleep. And as for eating, I had my first feed the night we landed and this is what I ate: Roast pork, gravy, cabbage, browned potatoes (the kind Maggie makes), rolls and butter, pudding and sauce, apple pic, cake, ice cream, coffee and nilk. f would have eaten more, but that was about all they had. I ate that meal in the Y. M. C. A. feeding house, and on our way from the docks to camp I ate sev eral sandwiches, several pieces of cake, one big apple pie, a bunch of candy and sonic or anges and apples. Thnt'is one thing they didn't have in Frog land. I believe they have the scrubbiest fruit in the world. We sailed from Brest on the U. S. Battleship Frederick, on March 24th. We bad good weather until about three days out from New York; then we had a storm for a couple of days, but iust the same I never donated anything to the fishes. I will have to hang up now and write Katy a letter. As ever, William." MORTON STOCKMAN Cornelius F.d. R.

TWO ROADS TO TOWN The Highway Commission has notified the County Court that they arc willing to pave two routes into Portland from Bcnv erton, if the county will get the grade ready.
