Her mission is good health, how
to (i t it, mid how to keep it. She
is interested in helping mothers
keep their babies well nnd strong.

keep the children of pre-chool

large share of her time working
for the good health of babies nnd
children.

Will Make Additions to the Mill
and Start Cutting Soon
It begins to look us though the
Huniia-MulliewH suwuiiJI, iiortlf
of the city, will noon he running
its sawn again, thus adding to the
industrial payroll of the town. J.
A. Hamilton, of the firm of Ham
ilton & Reagan, wan in the city
the lirst of Uie week, tiguring on
a ileal to take over the mill. Ne
gotiations are well under way,
and it is expected that the new
linn w ill soon take possession.
Mr. Hamilton nay thut a num
ber of men at once w ill he placed
on the jub rcpuiring the struc
ture, milking some minor changes,
and winie additions, and a start
cutting will be made in the very
near future.
Both are experienced men and
they recognize this as a fine point
for milling.
The plant is located oil the P.
It. it N., a milt- out, and there is
i hance for a fine dam, if need
ed. The mill is so located that it
enn get logs from the Nelialeni
timber belt, and purchases will be
made there as soon as the local
cut is made.
Ilillshoro web oines any move
that will mean .( greater employ
ment of men. and it goes against
the grain to see the w heels of the

T FACE TRIAL
Charles McGrew, After Six Years
at Pen, Faces, Old Indictment
BROUGHT HERE LAST WEEK
State Charger That he Shot at
Ralph Kinton, of Bank
Chu. McGrew, olutiuie robber
ami general outlaw, was broaght
to K:!Lsboro from the State Pen
last week by Deputy Win. Mc
Quillan, and the bandit, after
serving nearly six years in the
stale institution, is to again face
trial for shooting at Ralph Kin
ton, at Banks, on the night of
July 10, 1918.
McGrew'h prison term ended,
and just as he was about to
have the place, Mr. McQuillan
took charge of him on a warrant
from this county. The indictment
facing the prisoner, McGrew now
being in the county jail, was
drawn by District Attorney E. JB.
Tongue, and reads:
"That the defendant, Chan.
McGrew, on the '10th day of Ju
ly, 1913, in the said County of
Washington, State of Oregon,
then and there being armed with
a dangerous weapon, to-wit: a re
volver loaded with powder and
leaden bullets, did then and there
willfully, purposely, unlawfully
and feloniously assault one
Ralph Kinton with said danger
ous weapon, by then and there
willfully, unlawfully and felon
iously shooting at the said Ralph
kinton with said revolver, the
said Ralph Kinton being then and
there within range of said dan
gerous weapon.
McGrew at first pleaded not
guilty to robbing the store, and
on December 19 was sentenced
by Judge Campbell to from 2 to
5 years in the pen. He was al
ready a parole violator and that
accounts for his being detained
longer than December, 1918.
It will b remembered that af
ter MeGrew was caught in the
store that', he shot at Mr. Kinton
and 'then went" under the store
building, where a posse kept him
cornered until the arrival of
Sheriff Reeves. Sheriff Reeves
went .under the store after the
bandit, and brought him out.
There is little doubt but that
McGrew will plead guilty to the
charge. He is said to be a dan
gerous mull and his record in tins
county bears out the opinion. The
penalty for the offense is a coun
ty jail sentence not greater than
a vear.
