Levy Does not Com Under the
Six Per Cent Limitation Law
The. Slate iliihway Commiaulon
ha levied a one mill tax on the
state valuation of county proper
ty fur the purpose of building
market roads, and this means, of
ourse, that Washington County
must raise dollar fur dollar in or
der to get the atate fund. The
county must pay $2!J,000 of thia
anyway, whether or not it gets
any of it, fur il comes to us in the
form of a state levy, and if we do
not insti ll it we simply lose that
much. In other words, if we do
not levy an amount equal to the
Jo.OOo" and about $8,000 more
in order to balance the differen
tial that comes to us from Mult
iioma h, making a total of .$:) 7,000

This levy being de facto the
slate t'i levy in the county bild-
;i I is not hij(h enough, and this
wil be remedied at the coining
induct session.
Market roads have received
the endorsement of the Grangers,
and it w ill mean a big help .to
ward better roads.
A WORD IN TIME
There are numerous cases of scar
let fever ami smallpox m a very.
tight form reported from time to
time in parts of the county, the
origin of which seems in no ways
traceable.
These eases axe not easily rec
ognized and it is desirable that
the families having children with
suspicious eruptions or severe
sore throats call in their family
physicians for advice. It is fre
ipienly through light eases of con
lagious diseases that epidemics
follow ," w hich it is "desirable to

191!), at the home of the groom's
sister, Mrs. Clay Freeman, Rev.
Walton Skipwortlv officiating. Af

The ground floor blue print for
the new cannery is now in the
hands of the promoters, and the
specifications fallow lines for the
finest plant ever installed in ttie
county along cannery construc
tion. The building will be con
structed for convenience, and
conveyors will be installed at all
points where quick carriage is a
necessity. A woman's rest room
is to be one of the features, and
the facilities for shipping from
the curing room will be splendid
The whole plan of building has
been such as to make it a model

Washington, being met by Past
Grand Chancellor John M. Wall,
Wm. G. Hare and L. A. Long.
It. Frank Peters called the
awaiting Knights to order in the
Castle liall, at 8 o clock sharp,
and when the gavel fell it is esti
mated that 250levotees of Da
mon and Pythias were hosts to
the distinguished visitor.
A class of 3ti Pages were given
the initial rank in the order in a
ceremonial that was one of the
most impressive ever witnessed
in this section of the Domain.
The team conferring the pri
mary rank consisted of R. F. Pe
ters, chancellor commander; Dr.
E. T. Helms, lecture; W. N. Har
ris, vice chancellor; John Boeker,
Prelate; John W. Council, Mas-ter-at-work;
L. A. Long, master-at-arms;
J., II. Garrett, inner
guard; John Gotleib, outer guard;
assisting master-at-arms with the
flag ceremonial, E. L. Perkins
and Wm. Taylor; escorts in uni
form, F. J. Sewell in command
S. E. Fayram, Aug. Tews, Will
Taylor, Ralph Deaville, J. D. An
derson, Leo Perkins, C. A. Hande
and Russell Morgan. E. L. Moore
had charge of the overhead light
ing and L. V. House operated
the machine in the lecture on the
order's basic foundation.'
The music for the floor work
was rendered by Glen Payne.
After the rank was conferred
the assembly listened to a won
derful address by the Supreme
Chief, in' which be extolled Amer
icanism to the limit,' explained
how the great fraternal organiza
tions were in a position to edu
cate the masses to a higher sense
and appreciation of citizenship,
and demonstrated the necessity of
Pythians, as well as other frater-
nalists, taking hold of the great
and burning questions of the
hour, when it looks as though
Americanism is trembling in the
balance. The Chief compliment
ed the order on its accession in j
Monday night's class, of manyj
young men who were .serving
their country in the recent war.
His democratic manner, his charm
of personality, and his forcible
way of calling things by their
right names, earned for him the
tremendous ovation given him at
the conclusion of his hour.
Frank S. Grant, of Portland,
followed in one of his character
istic addresses and Frank is the
real historian of Pythianism.
After the ceremonial and ad
dresses the meeting adjourned to
splendid cafeteria luncheon,
prepared by the committee, com
prised of Wm. Nelson, Hal Tay
lor, August Tews and Alfred
Morgan.
The visit accorded Hillsboro is
perhaps the greatest honor ever
accorded a Washington County
fraternal organization. Never be
fore has a National Executive of
so great an order visited the city,
and perhaps the event will never
be repeated. Every Pythian,
from the youueat down to the
veterans of SO and 40 years, feels
the stimulus of the consideration
shown a lodge and district, and
the session will long be historic.
