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

Borah is going to have hard
sledding when he tries to suc
ceed himself up in Idaho.

HAS BIG MEAL
Win. 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."

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. The grade on the
Bertha route is practically nil
ready for work, but the commis
sion wishes to lave the Canyon
Road, and if the County will do
the grading the work will be
done. They want this grading
completed this year, and tell the
Court if funds are not on hand
for the work they will advance
thi' money. They also state they
want lo do all the work possible
between Hillsboro nnd the Yam
hill line, and think they can fin
ish all excepting a few places
where 4he grade can not be pre
pared this season.
Judge Gooditt is highly in fa

go on record as being for it. The
