WORST STORM FOR YEARS'
Stop Put to all Hauling Into the
City Machines Stay in Garages
With midnight Monday night
coiniucnecd the worst know fctorm
that has visited Ibis section at this
time of the year in the weather
history of Washington County.
By Tuesday morning there were
seven or eight incite fallen, and
Tuesday night the fall was aug
mented by a steady storm lasting
until Wednesday morning. In
this city there was close to twen
ty inches on the level, and out in
many of the country districts the
depth wns 20 lo 21 inches. To
add to the discomfort of traffic,
there was n consiilcr.tblc wind
itli it, und drifts were piled high
where the air currents had full
sw t i p,
lb-re ami there! a machine tried
to buck the drifts, but those which
did, with one or two exceptions,
had to be pulled in by team.
An Oregon F.lectrie train, be
lated, arrived here from Forest
Grove ami was stalled all night
on Wnshinirtoii Street, between
First and the Tillamook line, re
maining stationary from inn!
night until ti:15 Wednesday
morning, wheii nit electric engine
pulled il out. Every electric
train which tried the route stuck!
in the same place, and at noon
yesterday a Portland bound train
stui'k nnd burned out its motor.
The Southern Pacific Bed Car
line made it down from McMiliil
ville, reaching here about 11
clock. It stuck at iNortli Kance
and Main, and w as forced to back
out and go East viu the old depot,
where engines had broken the
road.
Delivery men bad a hard time
of it, but they made tin; rounds.
Milk haulers suffered und all de
liveries to the condenser were
much belated.
The Portland bread wagons
failed to arrive at all, and it
meant a brend shortage, as Baker
Koehler could not supply the de
mand. The S. P. mail trains last night
ran thro on the main lines, via the
the freight depot, being unable to
make the curves in ihc city. The
Tillamook train was annulled yes
terday, und the miow plow wns
sent out to clear the track. It
may be a day or so yet before the
mails w ill get through.
A CHRISTMAS PRESENT
Why Not Make it a Christmas
Present Worth Having For
Your Wife, Ydur Son or
Your Daughter?
One that w ill mean something to
I hem during their whole life; one
that they can have the satisfaction
of watching it grow; one that will
give vour wife a feeling of inde
pemlenee, and a nest egg that she
can depend on, regardless of your
circumstances or what may bap
pen to you; one that will giv
vour son a better start in lift
than you bad, and one that will
get him in the systematic habit of
saving small amounts', which will
be worth more to him than the
amount of money that be will re
ccive; give your daughter the
pleasure of having a fund of her
own, and the satisfaction of
knowing that she will have some
money all Iter own to use ns she
w ishes.
There is no way on earth, ns
sure, as safe, and that will pay ns
large dividends, for the amount
of money invested, or that will
give thcni as much pleasure nnd
satisfaction for the money that II
will cost vou, as a certificate is
sued bv The Western Loan and
Building Co., which pays 10 pet
cent on the money invested, you
itnt it in small amounts monthly
which will be no hardship on yo'i,
and your Wife, your Son, or your
Daughter will get It all back in a
lump sum, and a little over two
dollars for each one tl at you put
in for them, enough to mean a
great deal to them. To your son it
may mean success In life to him
instead of failure, as the first
thousand is the one that is hard to
get.
H tnkes les thrtn 10 cents a day
to give them a $1000.00; 20 cts.,
$2000.00; CO cts., $8000.00. And
when there is only one man In
ten in the United States that ever
has $2000.00 In their lives, you
cau M-o what it means to them.
You have lite best security in
I he world for every dollar you put
in for them. And tho privileges
that go with each Certificate arc
buch that one can not possibly
loac out, and are worth a good
deal to them. There are nearly
one hundred satisfied certificate
holders in Hiilsboro at the pres-
1,11 timc ,,oid'" certificates to
uic value 01 oeiwcen two nnu
three hundred thousand dollars.
Are you, your Wife, your Son,
and your Daughter going to have
your share of the quarter of a
million dollars that the Company
will distribute in Hiilsboro? If
not, why not?
Besides paying you 16 per cent
on your investment, every dollar
that the Company receives in
Washington County cun be used
to build homes in Hiilsboro you
know whether they are needed or
uol!
For full particulars call me on
the phone, and I will come to
your home, nnd talk it over with
you and your wife, or call at my
office in the Washington Hotel.

GETS CASH "AND DECAMPS
Officers on Trail in Half an Hour, 1
But Vanishes in Thin Air j
A tall chap, wearing a black over-i
coat, which he looted from John
Anderson's Store, and with a top
piece of beaver-high, dropped in
to town Monday evening, just be
fore. Portland train time and pur
chased some groceries from the
Reynolds & Pjirk Store. He ten
dered a check fur ,17.25, drawn
in favor of "Rowan Bradford"
and signed by Jacob SchilT & Co.,
of New York, lln received his
cash balance above the groceries
ordered, took his box of merchan
dise and stepped out of the place.
A verv few minutes later T. C.
I)., I.l- I... A. II... ,.1, ,. v
in , ,iiiis iii.ri nil. . 1 1 v b t
W. Itoscow, concluding it was bo
gus. Mr. Boseow called the
sheriff, and a .search was made
for the fellow with the high chap-
eau, but he. had vanished into thin j
air. Bradford, as he called bim-j
self, showed his star, and two!
gats strapped to his body, and j
told them he was a Revenue Of- j
tieer. This naturally allayed sus-j
picion, and the paper was cash-!
ed by Mr. Parks wifhout question.!
Bradford probably got into a j
machine and hit the high places,!
aifd may have been bitting fori
Portland to start South on a night 1
train. -
Bradford pursued the sam tac
tics of impersonating an Micer at
Forest Grove, where he touched
John Anderson, clothier, in a like
fashion.
Reynolds K Park went to Port
land that eveirlmr in the hope of
intercepting him, but they did'
not run across the chap. The
down train was also searched be
tween here and llenverton, and he
was not aboard that. lie has been
playing the game at other points,
tnd the wonder of it is that be
M ould wear the same beaver hat
at all places.
If Uncle Samuel gels hold of
him he will certainly go to Mc
Neil Island for impersonating an
olliccr of the I'nited States.
The moral of this' is do not
cash a cheek for a stranger miles
he has absolute iilenlificatioi'.
Anderson lost S0 and an over-
a! selling at 21), and Reynolds
it Park lost .t".2.i in groceries and
.f' VO in cash. Bradford also vi.sit-
"d a jewelry store in the Grove
aluniav and wantett to buy a
watch but as there were two
other parties in the store at the
time, he made no purchase, and
the jeweler perhaps was gainer.
It is reported thai Bradford
was captured in Portland yester
day! at the garage where he hired
a machine to make the trip to
Hiilsboro.
